ABOUT US
As concerns about public safety have increased across the City of Portland, a diverse group of stakeholders representing the westside of the city, has come together to explore collaborative ways of improving safety and livability for everyone across Multnomah County.
The mission of PSAC is to be a voice for the community, interacting with government, nonprofits and local businesses in support of programs to reduce crime and create a safe, clean and welcoming environment for all. Among our immediate goals are:
-
Increased funding for jail beds to reduce the "revolving door" that puts repeat, often violent criminals immediately back on the streets. Create offender accountability and access to justice for victims.
-
Promote law enforcement having clear guidance and direction to enforce ordinances and laws deemed a community priority.
-
Support effective efforts to establish a compassionate avenue to manage the rising drug epidemic and establish more effective wrap around drug treatment.
Our initial goal is to create a similar organization for the East Side. We hope to hold well-attended monthly meetings bringing in concerned groups of renters, property owners, businesses, social service agencies and government leaders.
How Can WE Help each other?
