The PRCC sits within the Portland Police Department and the Director reports directly to the Assistant Chief of Police. The Police Department’s administrative, financial, and human resources support staff are also resources for the Director.
The ideal candidate will have a passion for public safety and for supporting the individuals who dedicate their careers to public service. They will have excellent leadership and interpersonal skills and the ability to work with and support employees functioning in a high stress environment, as well as the ability to work collaboratively with other departments and stakeholders.
