Portland officer fired after he delayed response to welfare call, failed to pursue suspect, then blamed it on ‘Obama administration,’ report says
A Portland police officer who deliberately delayed responding to a welfare check call in 2019 and then let the suspect walk away was fired after he misled internal investigators about what he did, according to bureau records made public this month.
The officer made a bogus remark to witnesses, telling them something like: “Due to the Obama administration,” police don’t chase known suspects, according to a summary by the Police Review Board.
The firing was one of seven officer misconduct cases -- five in 2019 and two in 2020 -- that prompted internal investigations and were summarized in the board’s March report. Each of the cases arose from complaints made by other members of the Police Bureau.
The Police Bureau publicly releases the board reports twice a year but doesn’t name of any of the officers involved.
