The sergeant’s email to PPB officers included a graphic of a red hat with the text “Make Central [Precinct] Great Again.”

A mass email from a Portland Police sergeant sent to the city’s downtown Central Precinct officers has sparked outrage and now an internal investigation over the message that included a graphic image of a MAGA-styled red hat with the text “Make Central [Precinct] Great Again” written across its front.

The sergeant sent the email Wednesday asking the cops to sign up for an overtime shift. An officer reported the message to the chief’s office, The Oregonian reported, then the chief referred the sergeant’s email to internal affairs for an investigation.

The sergeant apologized for the message in a follow-up internal email, according to Portland Police Bureau spokesman Sgt. Kevin Allen. The sergeant remains on duty while the investigation proceeds, Allen said, according to The Oregonian.
