City of North Bend release – During Monday’s North Bend City Council Work Session, Interim Police Chief Gary McCullough and Captain Cal Mitts gave a detailed progress update of the department since taking the helm in mid-October. Based on their presentation, the City Council agreed to withdraw its request for the City Administrator to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a 360-review of the police department. Based on the Chief’s recommendations, the Council instead authorized the City Administrator to engage with the Oregon Association of Chiefs of Police and utilize its Agency Review Program to provide a professional review of North Bend police operations and management systems, using recognized law enforcement best practice standards. The City Council also authorized movement on an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) for Portland State University to conduct a compensation study and analysis of similar-sized agencies in Oregon, including associated incentives and benefits.
