Description

Portland police chief Bob Day was appointed to the role permanently this week, after previously coming out of retirement to take over as interim chief in October. At the time, Wheeler said the plan was for Day to only serve about 18 months, but on Friday Wheeler said Day's performance during his first six months prompted the mayor to change his mind.

Day was a guest on this week's upcoming episode of KGW's Straight Talk. The interview covered Portland's drug and homeless crises, the upcoming PPB body camera program, efforts to spur officer recruitment and the relationship that the chief will have with the city administrator under Portland's new form of government in 2025.
