About the Community Health Division:
The Community Health Division resides within Portland Fire & Rescue and is the newest Division to be created in Portland Fire & Rescue in over 100 years. The Community Health Division encompasses three programs: Portland Street Response (PSR), the Community Health Assess & Treat (CHAT) Program, and Community Connect. All three programs deliver a trauma-informed approach to first response and seek to divert non-life threatening 9-1-1 medical and/or mental health calls from Police and Fire. Two primary benefits of these new branches of first responders for non-life-threatening but crisis-related calls are:

• Enables the City of Portland to free up Police and Fire resources to attend to life saving and crime-related calls for help; and
• Provides quick and compassionate response by trauma informed members trained in crisis management, emergency medicine, and behavioral health

These programs are expected to:

• Reduce the number of calls traditionally responded to by Police where criminal activity is not present.
• Reduce the number of individuals transported to the emergency department for low acuity medical related issues that could instead be addressed in a pre-hospital care setting.
• Reduce the number of behavioral health and lower acuity medical calls traditionally responded to by Police and Fire.

All three of these programs are in their first two years of development and therefore analysis of trends, forecasting, and reporting out metrics is key to the continued success of these programs.

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in business administration, data science/analytics, public administration, or a related field.
