The precinct, division, and special unit series contains records related to specific precincts, divisions, and units within the Portland Police Bureau, including the Traffic Division, Detective Division, Juvenile Division , Civil Defense Unit, deputy chief office, Crime Prevention Unit, and North Precinct. Records include reports, newspaper clippings, photographs, educational materials, correspondence, plans, and manuals. The North Precinct and St. John’s subseries contains documents, plans, project manuals, and committee information for the North Portland Police station, also referred to as the North Precinct, and St. John’s City Hall. The construction of St. John’s City Hall began in 1906.

This series primarily includes plans for the remodeling and restoration of the North Precinct and St. John’s City Hall in 1977. It also includes project manuals for community policing facilities.
