What We Do

• Continue to develop, expand, and improve youth and police focus groups
• Create a strategic process for tracking and maintaining long-term relationships between police agencies and community organizations
• Build and revise tools to continuously capture and measure Face-to-Face Portland’s impact

Our Liaison Family Program (LFP) connects new hires of the Portland Police Bureau with families in the Portland area. We ask Liaison Families to provide support, friendship, community history, community events, area introductions, and anything else that will help integrate our new police officers into their community. And, our community is given the chance to share their different, dynamic, diverse voices and play a vital role in shaping the future of our city. We help make face-to-face connections between people who wish to participate, based on mutual trust and respect.
