James Chasse

The investigation included six items, a "detective notebook"[5] with six photos by witness Jamie Marquez, two separate two page disciplinary letters[6] to Portland Police officers Kyle Nice and Christopher Humphreys, suspending them for 80 hours without pay.

[7] "IAD" or "Internal Affairs Division"[8] is a 389-page report including witness, expert and officer interviews, case chronology and exhibits.

[14] Chasse's death produced an outcry in the Oregon media, with hundreds of news stories, editorials and front-page articles following the case, and from civil rights and mental health advocates.

Although Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk failed to bring an indictment against the officers, he did release all testimony presented to the grand jury.

Portland mayor Tom Potter apologized to the Chasse family, convened a Mental Health Task Force to review the city's policies, and implemented a crisis intervention training program to improve the way in which city and county police respond to situations involving mental illness, but failed to discipline the officers who beat Chasse: Kyle Nice, Christopher Humphreys and Bret Barton.
