PFFA supports the Portland Enhanced Community Safety Initiative.

This measure would give Portland voters the opportunity to decide on a plan to strengthen public safety and help address the challenges facing our city.

Before it can appear on the ballot, signatures are needed from registered Portland voters. If you’re eligible, please sign the petition and help give voters a chance to have their say.

Support the November 2026 ballot measure to bring Portland police staffing to the national average—400 additional officers without raising taxes.
