On June 23, 2020 Multnomah County will be finalizing the 2021 budget, which will determine whether the Sheriff's Department receives a $6.4 million dollar increase for the department, $1.08 million from the general fund toward Dorm 15 at Inverness Jail, and others. We are joining groups across Portland demanding a rejection of any increased funding to the police.
