Portland Cold Case Homicide Unit

The Portland Cold Case Homicide Unit is a specialized division of the police department focused on investigating unresolved murder cases that remain unsolved for an extended period. Established to address the backlog of cold cases, this unit reviews evidence, gathers new information, and collaborates with forensic experts and the community to bring closure to victims' families. By applying modern investigative techniques and technology, the unit aims to solve these older cases, which can often lead to new leads or arrests, ensuring that justice is pursued even years after a crime has occurred.
