  • Some Portland Police Officers are sporting new badges, which commemorate the 150-year anniversary of the Police Bureau. Officers have the choice to wear them and must purchase the new badge at their own expense from the Portland Police Museum. Officers are allowed to wear the badges for the entirety of 2020. On November 2 and 3, 1870, the newly formed board of police commissioners in Portland created the Metropolitan Police Force and abolished the Office of City Marshal. The first chief was James Lappeus and under him was a captain, six policemen and three special policemen, who provided public safety to Portland's nearly 10,000 residents. For more information about the history of the Portland Police Bureau, visit the Portland Police Museum. The museum is in the Justice Center's first floor, located at 1111 SW 2nd Avenue. It is operated by the Portland Police Historical Society and is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free.
