Purpose

The Citizen Review Committee (CRC) are hosting a community forum to present information about community oversight of the police and hear community input about police services.

Other details
The Citizen Review Committee (CRC), a nine-member volunteer committee appointed by the Portland City Council to monitor and advise the City Auditor's Independent Police Review (IPR) division, hear appeals of police complaints and gather community concerns about police services in Portland, Oregon.

It is particularly important for the Citizen Review Committee (CRC) to hear from members of the community who have concerns about (a) incidents they have endured or witnessed at the hands of the Portland police and/or (b) how the civilian oversight system in Portland works.

We strongly encourage you all, especially those involved with Occupy Portland who tried telling their stories to City Council but were gavelled down by the Mayor, to turn out next Thursday, the 26th, at the East Portland Community Center to go on record with CRC with your concerns.

The forum is facilitated and notes will be posted to the IPR/CRC website. Light refreshments will be served.
