According to The Merc ^[1], Sgt Brian Schmautz has returned to his “Official Spokesperson” post from the land of Vice. Paul Dolbey, the detective who (was keeping the seat warm) was holding the position has gone back to detective work, so I can’t tell if they are short a position or not (I guess it depends on where Dolbey went).

I couldn’t find anything on the Portland Police website to confirm this, but hey, I read it on the Internets so it must be true…
