Given all the
issues swirling around Portland police, here's a meeting worth noting.
City Commissioner
Dan Saltzman, who oversees the Portland Police Bureau, Commissioner
Amanda Fritz, a former psychiatric nurse, and Police Chief
Rosie Sizer are scheduled to meet this afternoon with Richard Harris, according to
Fritz's calendar. Harris is the Oregon Department of Human Services' assistant director for addictions and mental health, and was formerly the executive director of Portland's
Central City Concern.
Detective Mary Wheat, a spokeswoman for the police, says the group is "information sharing."
