Portland has become the latest city to refund its police department after calls to ‘defund the police’ during last year’s Black Lives Matter protests led some municipalities to decimate their safety budgets.
Portland City Council unanimously passed a fall budget bump Wednesday that added back $5.2 million of the $15 million it cut from police last year.
It comes as the city deals with murder rates not seen since the 1980s and a staffing shortage that has led city leaders to consider hiring back retired cops.
