Supporters praise Mac Muir’s investigative experience for OCPA director role
Summary
Multiple community speakers, including a former investigator and Portland Cop Watch members, highlighted Mac Muir's track record building investigative capacity and managing cases and staff; written and spoken endorsements emphasized experience in Oakland and New York.
Several public commenters singled out Mac (referred to in the spoken record as "Mac Muir") as uniquely qualified to build the Office of Community Police Accountability’s investigative capacity.
Debbie Iona of the League of Women Voters of Portland praised Mac’s ability to lead investigations that would “withstand outside scrutiny” and said his experience could save the city money in settlements while preventing harm to community members. A written comment read into the record by Kristen Thorpe from Charlie Hartford said, "To build an investigation agency from scratch, you need to understand 3 things. How investigations function at a case by case level, how to manage an agency wide docket to meet statutory deadlines, and how to manage people."
