Operational records include general orders, memos, forms, memoranda, and by-laws. The NOBLE subseries contains materials related to the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement. This organization was founded in 1976 to address crime in low-income urban areas, police community relations, justice administration, and the hiring and promotion of black police officers. NOBLE has a chapter in NW Portland that has been operating since its founding. In this series there are documents, newspapers, and VHS tapes related to NOBLE conferences, fundraising, planning, correspondence, and city and county diversity files.
