The City Auditor’s Office is seeking an impartial public servant to listen to community members who believe an interaction with a Portland Police Officer was improper, develop facts related to their allegations, and recommend to Police officials whether disciplinary action is warranted.
This Complaint Investigator position is one of eight in the Auditor’s Independent Police Review (IPR) division, which forms the foundation of the City’s civilian police accountability system.

IPR and Internal Affairs share investigative responsibilities. IPR generally investigates misconduct complaints involving high-ranking officers, vulnerable populations, such as children or people experiencing homelessness; and large events, such as street protests.
Responsibilities of the Complaint Investigator I include:
Taking complaints and gathering information to be used by IPR supervisors to make case-handling decisions;
Conducting investigations by interviewing witnesses and police officers and collecting evidence, such as dispatch records, video, and photographs;
Developing written findings based on the available evidence and recommending appropriate courses of action for police managers;
Protecting the integrity of the investigative process and the independence of the Auditor’s Office;
Participating in community outreach activities to raise awareness about IPR’s services and role in the City’s accountability system;
Participating in policy reviews that develop information and make recommendations for systemic change in the Portland Police Bureau.
Successful candidates will demonstrate a commitment to fairness in police accountability matters, knowledge of sound investigative procedures, and an ability to interact with people from diverse backgrounds.
