Portland Police Bureau Chief Chuck Lovell told employees that he was temporarily shutting down the cold case unit and redirecting staff to create a third homicide detail as the department’s resources have been strained by soaring murders and other major incidents.
In a recent email to department employees, Lovell said the current number of 18 homicide detectives is not sustainable with the number of homicides the bureau is responding to in Oregon’s largest city.
