GRESHAM, Ore. (AP) — A report commissioned by the suburban Portland city of Gresham says police chief Robin Sells fostered and permitted a hostile workplace that drove out a Black senior official hired to address issues of racial bias. The Oregonian/OregonLive says the report, issued Tuesday, lays out a culture of dysfunction and finds that members of the police department defied initiatives to improve racial sensitivity within its ranks. Gresham officials didn’t respond to repeated inquiries Tuesday about their reaction to the report’s findings. The city said interim City Manager David Clyne will assess “corrective actions,” but said Gresham is unlikely to comment on any discipline to personnel named in the report.
