Abstract

"News" piece on reform at the Portland Police Department prompted by several recent lawsuits successfully charging department personnel with the use of excessive force. Portland police chief Michael Chitwood is proposing 10 new measures to restore public confidence in the department, one of which would be a new foot-chase policy. Police officers often feel that just because someone flees, they've committed a crime, and that's not necessarily true, Chitwood said.
