The Portland Police Bureau (PPB), officially the Portland Bureau of Police, is the law enforcement agency of the city of Portland, the largest city in the U.S. state of Oregon.
As of September 2024, the Bureau has around 800 sworn members, 35 cadets, and over 300 professional staff.
Prior to 2025, when Portland operated under a city commission form of government, oversight of Portland's bureaus shifted among the five City Commissioners, with the mayor being assigned to the Police Bureau as the police commissioner due to tradition. As of January 1, 2025, the chief of police acts as the primary executive of the agency.
