Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler plans to bring a new policing pilot program before City Council for final approval on Wednesday, Dec. 5.
The Public Safety Support Specialists, or PS3s, will be non-sworn officers who do not carry guns.
"They will be engaged in the community in non-emergency calls, so that's things like property crimes, break-ins," Wheeler tells WW.
The PS3s grew out of a proposal in the 2016 police union contract approved under then-Mayor Charlie Hales to create Community Service Officers who would respond to minor property crimes and nuisance calls, among other things.
To fund the program, Wheeler cut the Mounted Patrol—cops on horseback—from the 2017-2018 city budget.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!
I knew it was you before I saw your name :)
I swear :)
And you’re right.
Going to a break in?!?!? Yeah, because there’s NEVER any trouble AFTER the break in, forget the fact that the break in is likely in a horrible neighborhood
Another government oligarch seizes taxpayer dollars to pay for his own armed security force while forcing the public to go unprotected.
Antifa is going to love this, unarmed police LOL
Well, thank heavens it won’t be the perps!
They’ll survive to become repeat, repeat, repeat, etc, offenders.
I imagine Clockwork Orange. Our future horrors are about to become reality.
I volunteer his son
I knew this was going to happen once they “legalized” marijuana. Life is like a Cheech and Chong movie.
More proof that Americans better be fighting like hell for their Second Amendment rights. They’re gonna need ‘em.
union doesn’t like it. not sure why except maybe flashlight cops can’t shoot dogs ?

BTW, this is the guy who brought Antifa in to manage traffic and they got into big fights with everyone e.
I presume this genius is also going to tell crooks that they can’t carry weapons if they’re only going to commit minor felonies. Hmm, that’s the ticket!
ATTENTION ALL CALIFORNIA, NEVADA, WASHINGTON, ARIZONA, and IDAHO CRIMINALS:
Portland Oregon is now the place to set up your new criminal enterprises, if you MURDER someone while robbing them, or are still in the process of robbing their place of business or home after MURDERING your victim, you are SAFE.
The Portland Police will now be able to ONLY SHOUT firm voiced orders for you to surrender after committing your MURDERS.
Just ignore them and SHOOT THEM DOWN LIKE THE UNARMED PUSSIES THEY ARE!
Well said!
Sure looks like a QUEER to me!
Yep - ex-cop brother-in-law has a sign with crossed revolvers that says, “We Don’t Dial 911” and another that says, “If you can read this, you’re in range”
Non-sworn police officers! Will they even have arrest authority?
He already allows antifa to patrol his streets and even direct traffic so why not disarm the police so they don’t “over react” and shoot a rioter?
As a retired NYPD street cop I can tell you this will lead to a mass exodus of Portland cops and Portland’s last remaining Americans.
With the strong economy Trump is providing Portland cops won’t have any trouble finding work elsewhere.
Good ones. One of my brothers lives way out in the country and he has three or four of those “If you can read this, you’re in range” signs a few hundred yards from the house.
I’ve never seen them but some people have “I’ve got a backhoe and lots of property...they’ll never find you” signs.
