MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. — The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) values its connection with the community and takes its responsibility to listen seriously. Policies and procedures guide everything the MCSO does, from law enforcement to corrections to business. Policies set the rules and goals for how the agency serves the public, while procedures explain step-by-step how tasks should be completed.

Now, the MCSO is inviting the public to give feedback on a new policy draft. During a 30-day period called the Stakeholder Review, anyone can share their thoughts or suggestions about the proposed policy. Keep in mind, any comments shared will become part of the public record.

The Sheriff’s Office is currently in the process of reviewing the following draft:

• 305.00 – Bias-Based Policing, Profiling, and Unlawful Bias

If you want to share your thoughts, visit the MCSO website to submit a comment.

Your feedback is important, and the MCSO considers all comments when finalizing its policies.

You can also sign up on the website to get email updates about future policy reviews or other news from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.
