PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The president of the Portland police union says he is weighing his options after two road-rage incidents and mounting criticism, including concerns by the police commissioner and the union board.
The executive board of the Portland Police Association held an emergency meeting Friday to discuss the future of Sgt. Scott Westerman, who is under internal investigation for the road-rage incidents just two days apart.
Some Portland officers are pushing for a recall. Others want him to resign or take a leave of absence.
Portland Police Commissioner Dan Saltzman, who has recommended that Westerman undergo anger management counseling, said Friday he thought the union president’s effectiveness “has been diminished.”
