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 Patrolcops on horsebackfrom the 2017-2018 city budget.

You want to be the police officer investigating a break in with no weapon?
Bad idea.
