The County's diverse population has grown in recent years to more than 735,000 and the metro area is over 2 million.
MULTNOMAH COUNTY GOVERNMENT
The County is governed by a Board of County Commissioners, consisting of four non-partisan members elected from designated districts, and the Board Chair, who is elected at large. The Chair also provides executive direction as the County's CEO.
The County provides diverse services to the community, including libraries, road maintenance, social services, health clinics, regulatory health services, supervision and custody of justice-involved youth and adults, criminal prosecution, and law enforcement for unincorporated areas.

Vision ~ Community Safety through Positive Change
The Department of Community Justice (DCJ) is recognized as a national leader in both adult and juvenile community justice. DCJ routinely consults and makes use of evidence-based practices in our program and policy development.

DCJ makes long-term investments in its employees through the provision of education and training. The Department believes that in order to enhance public safety we must work collaboratively with the judiciary, law enforcement, schools, treatment agencies, and the community.
The Department shares information with community members, partners, and staff to keep communities safe by preventing and reducing crime and routinely evaluating which local policies support best practices. DCJ operates 24 hours a day, with nearly 650 regular, on-call, and temporary employees.
