The Portland Police created lists of the
most active gang associates and shared
these among officers. Auditors found the
police did not have a policy and few
safeguards for making these lists. The
public did not know about this practice
and the police did not ask for input. Community members had concerns about
similar police practices, such as people
getting listed when they are not
involved in gangs. The most active list
also raises legal questions.
