The Portland Police Bureau announced the numbers would be put on the helmets to more easily identify officers by November 15.

Police detain passengers in a mutual aid van during an Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage protest on October 11 in Portland, Oregon.The PPB said it hopes the process of putting the numbers on the helmets, which must be on prominent display, will be completed by November 15. Officers will gradually shift to having their surnames embroidered onto their uniforms, which will be easier to read than metal name tags.

"We support peaceful protest and understand that reforms to advance racial justice are necessary and overdue," Deputy Police Chief Chris Davis said in a statement, adding,"We also want the public to be able to easily identify officers if they have concerns." Being a police officer is hard and hazardous work on a good day, and Portland's police officers have been responding to protests, demonstrations, and other incidents for over several months. I want to thank each and every member of the Portland Police Bureau for their work.
