Only a few Portland police officers so far have volunteered to staff a new uniformed team to proactively address gun violence with greater community oversight.

The trouble finding officers has prompted a special recruiting effort to get bureau members to sign up.

The team is supposed to have 12 officers and two sergeants.

Meanwhile, nine residents named so far to monitor the team met Friday via video conference in an introductory session, also getting off to a bit of a rocky beginning.

Mayoral aide Sam Adams set up the gathering but said he expects the members will hire their own staff and determine the scope of how they will review the work of the police Focused Intervention Team, known as FIT.
