Yamhill County Sheriff's Office

Message from the Sheriff….

On behalf of the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office, it is once again my pleasure to present our Annual Report for calendar year 2009.

This past year we have witnessed and experienced a lot of changes, living history in the making with a new President, an ongoing conflict in the Middle East that has heavily tasked our Oregon National Guard and Reserve men and women;

and a recession that has created several challenges for many throughout the county as well as the nation.

Notwithstanding these challenges that impact our operational, equipment, and personnel funding; it was a situational circumstance that was expected. As a result, I believe that the overall outcome of the recession will bring out the best in not only the Sheriff’s Office, but other law enforcement agencies throughout Oregon as well.

Case in point is the fact that I and Sheriffs from Washington, Multnomah and Clackamas County have been meeting regularly to discuss and implement interagency cooperation. Our primary focus centers on pooling our resources together in a concerted effort to regionalize our law enforcement roles across our respective communities.

Realizing the value of collectively working together, sharing not only our resources, but more importantly our knowledge and experiences that will directly serve the interest of public safety. This collaboration is a long term project of putting words into action. In addition to collaborating with other Sheriff’s Offices, the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office continues to work

closely with local police departments as well.

This level of teamwork between agencies within the county allows for greater coverage, especially where servicing the contract and incorporated cities are concerned. Those law enforcement services include traffic, code enforcement, School Resource Officers, and providing security details during special events.

In this report you will learn more about our individual divisions and their accomplishments throughout 2009, as well as statistics illustrating the types of calls for service that the Sheriff’s Office responds to and has investigated.

Also, those employees who have demonstrated exceptional service and dedication in the performance of their duties, that which reflects great credit upon them and the Sheriff’s Office, are duly recognized for their efforts.

Additionally, our volunteers and certain members of the community who have shown great resolve and charity towards their fellow citizens will be recognized in this report as well.

Last but not least, this report will provide an overview of the level of direct community involvement that the Sheriff’s Office continues to participate in; and others who have assisted in support of these endeavors as well.

In closing, I would like to thank every one of my staff and volunteers for their unwavering dedication and hard work that continue to make this agency, in my opinion, once again the best law enforcement agency in the State of Oregon.

Thank you.

Jack H. Crabtree

"When it comes to providing the community with the highest quality of law enforcement services that is expected of the Sheriff’s Office, my philosophy is rather simple; Honor, Integrity, Fidelity, and Fiscal Responsibility.”

Throughout our lives we often think back to the moment we made that life changing career decision; admiring the inspiration and motivation that continues to flourish throughout our professional life. For Jack Crabtree that moment presented itself one afternoon in Amity while at lunch at the J &J Hamburger Drive-In; just two blocks from where he attended high school. It was here where he observed two Deputy Sheriffs engaged with the citizens and when he had the epiphany that law enforcement was the career choice he was destined to fulfill. Crabtree began his law enforcement career when he applied with the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office, and was successfully hired as a Correctional Deputy in March 1985. In that same year he attended corrections training and graduated from the Oregon Police Academy; where he returned three years later for basic police officer training, graduating in 1989. Understanding that education is just as important as professional experience, Crabtree earned an Associate of Applied Science degree in Criminal Justice from Chemeketa Community College. He also attended the Oregon State Sheriff's Academy in 1992; the Executive Leadership Institute of the Mark O. Hatfield School of Government at Portland State University in 2003; and he completed training provided by the National Sheriff's Institute in 2004. In addition to academics, Sheriff Crabtree also has over 2500 hours of additional formal law enforcement training and experience through the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST).

Throughout his law enforcement career, Crabtree has received numerous community recognition citations and awards. To him this was a clear sign of the trust and confidence that the community had in his law enforcement abilities. This realization became evident when he received 73% of the votes cast in a three-way electoral race for County Sheriff. When Jack Crabtree was officially sworn in as the Yamhill County Sheriff, he brought with him 18 years of collective experience in Corrections, Patrol, and the Detective Division while serving with the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office. Inquiring about a mentor for the role of Sheriff, Crabtree quickly named his former boss and friend, retired Sheriff Lee Vasquez. Remarking specifically on the standard of "Excellence in Service" established by Sheriff Vasquez during his two terms as Yamhill County Sheriff; a standard that Crabtree proudly continues present day.

A Formula for Success

When asked about his formula for managing and successfully operating a well-recognized Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Crabtree simply stated - "excellent relationships with the community and having a staff of the highest caliber." First and foremost, he said, "building and maintaining quality relationships is critical." These relationships include but are not limited to leaders within the community, service groups such as veterans, local businesses, and county and state elected officials; as well as professional colleagues throughout the state. Providing an example of the value of collaborating, Sheriff Crabtree awarded a Certificate of Appreciation to local Veterans.

JACK CRABTREE YAMHILL COUNTY SHERIFF

In maintaining a good working relationship, Sheriff Crabtree described the reorganization effort within the county dispatch center. Understanding the critical nature of providing consistent and efficient countywide public safety communication to police, fire and emergency medical personnel; the need for current technology and communication equipment, in addition to organizational efficiency was paramount in successfully completing that reorganization. The second factor in his formula is the successful recruitment, hiring and retention of exceptional people. The kind of qualities found in people who exhibit an inspiration and motivation for law enforcement as a career; just as Crabtree once realized when he made the same choice. Moreover, there is the acknowledgement that the employees and volunteers in his charge strive to meet the same guiding principles and standards carried on under Sheriff Crabtree - "Excellence in Service." Crabtree's years of experience and education are exhibited daily in his understanding of what makes an efficient and productive team - communication. As such, he holds daily command briefings in order to enable a clear understanding among his administration of their assigned tasks, duties and responsibilities entrusted upon them by the citizens of Yamhill County.

Sheriff Crabtree instructs staff at in-service meeting.

Additionally, at the end of each week, a "Sheriff's Office Weekly Newsletter" is distributed 'to all Sheriff's Office employees. This newsletter provides valuable training information, personnel notes, letters of appreciation sent by members of the community, and other important news of the daily operations of the Sheriff's Office.

Yamhill County Sheriff's Office

Sheriff Crabtree is adamant in his description of the Sheriff's Office as a full-service law enforcement agency. One that includes administration and records, civil process, patrol, school resource officers, special investigations unit, participation in an interagency narcotics task force, a K-9 patrol, dog control, marine patrol, reserves, Volunteer Response Unit, Cadets, crime prevention, Mounted Posse, Search and Rescue, Amateur Radio Emergency Services; and the Jail. Sheriff Crabtree also manages seven annual budgets that total more than $15 million dollars. Though the recession has taken its toll on many local, county and state agencies; the Sheriff's Office has remained fiscally sound. Therefore 24/7 law enforcement services continue uninterrupted throughout the county, to include contract cities.

Commenting further, "Our Office is neither the largest nor is it the smallest in the state, and the size of our organization provides the luxury of maintaining involvement in the entire operation."

Contract Cities

The Yamhill County Sheriff's Office provides contractual law enforcement services for the cities of Dayton, Lafayette, Sheridan and Willamina. The ongoing successful working relationship that the Sheriff's Office has established and maintained between these cities is a mutual benefit to the agency

Page 8

Annual Report

and the citizens of each community. That success, says Crabtree, is greatly attributed to the efforts and efficiency of his Patrol Commander, Captain Ken Summers. City officials of each respective contract city have expressed the belief that their contracts with the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office provide them with well trained deputies and direct logistical support, which would otherwise not be available to them due to a lack of local resources. In most of the contract cities, the Sheriff's Office and local school districts have established a working partnership with assigned deputies as their School Resource Officer (SRO). Funding for this endeavor is derived from a combination of city funding and school district dollars. The SRO mission is a meaningful one as it assists school administrators in the continued identification of at risk youth, cooperation with teachers in curbing truancies, and the promotion of open communication and mentoring between students and faculty.

Yamhill County Jail

Sheriff Crabtree is responsible for the management of a 260 bed Jail. In 2007, he and Jail Commander Ron Huber explored construction and refit options in order to improve upon the sally port, intake and booking, and a much needed expansion of the Medical Services Unit. Construction began in August 2008, which was completed in June 2009. As a result, the booking area gained three additional holding cells and one isolation cell; and the medical unit was increased to six medical cells from a two unit facility. This two million dollar project was financed without the use of local tax dollars, but rather through the renting of beds to other jurisdictions; thus saving local tax dollars for other county services.

Interagency Common Concerns

The Yamhill County Sheriff's Office participates in monthly Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) meetings that involve all law enforcement agencies within the county. During these meetings, issues of importance to each agency are addressed in order to develop a team orientated systems solution.

Topics covered include tracking crime trends and addressing new legislation and case law; as well as reviewing policy and practices of each agency. Sheriff Crabtree commented on the fact that similar meetings have begun between Yamhill, Washington, Multnomah and Clackamas Counties. As a result, these agencies are becoming more involved in combined efforts which will result in fiscal efficiencies throughout the State.

Volunteers

Sheriff Crabtree acknowledges the tremendous value and function of citizen volunteers in the Sheriff's Office. Moreover, he recognizes and appreciates the extraordinary dedication each volunteer has contributed to the effective operation of the Sheriff's Office. Honoring these citizens who share their valuable time and talents, Crabtree said, "We could not perform the work in the Sheriff's Office without the enormous contributions of volunteers serving the mission and interest of those affiliated with the Sheriff's Office."

In the 2008 Annual Report, more than 155 volunteers were listed as being actively involved in the ongoing operations, much needed services and logistical support within the Sheriff's Office, saving the community over $200,000. The areas in which many volunteers contribute include the following: Mounted Posse, Administration, A.R.E.S, Cadets, Search and Rescue, and the Volunteer Response Unit.

Annual Report

Accreditation

In 2007, the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office applied to the Oregon Accreditation Alliance to examine the Sheriff's Office professional standards of accountability, management, and operations. Such accreditation is an opportunity to scrutinize the Sheriff's Office organization, policy, procedures, and practices against peer law enforcement agencies by the Oregon Accreditation Alliance's Professional Standards Committee. Sheriff Crabtree explained that as an elected official, "there is a basic expectation when elected to Office. I am entrusted to do a job, and accreditation is an opportunity to affirm that job is being done and done right." Explaining further, Crabtree added that, "The expectation placed upon not only me but the Sheriff's Office in the work that we perform is more than a onetime look at the books. Accreditation requires a sustainable effort to maintain professional standards." Therefore, Crabtree entrusted the accreditation of the Sheriff's Office by appointing the Administrative Support Program Manager, Kellye Fetters, to serve as the Accreditation Manager. Through the combined efforts of the entire staff - to include volunteers – the Sheriff's Office was presented with their Certificate of Accreditation in February 2009.

Being County Sheriff

Serving as a county Sheriff has been a noteworthy and rewarding experience for Jack Crabtree. One that is very personal and important to him as a proud member of this community.

Yamhill County is where he grew up, married his wife Sherri, and raised two sons. Joe, a decorated veteran who received a combat ribbon and Purple Heart for his service in Operation Iraqi Freedom; and Kenny, currently an undergraduate at the University of Oregon. Through the culmination of his experiences and positive working relationships with so many people and organizations; Crabtree acknowledges the support of his family and those employees, volunteers, and the community that continue to thrive with the Sheriff's Office, as the real credit for his success as the Sheriff of Yamhill County.

Yamhill County has existed for 167 years, having been organized by the Oregon’s Provisional Legislature on July 5, 1843. However settlements of fur trading company employees were established within the county since approximately 1814. Over the years as more and more settlers navigated the Oregon Trail, arriving in Yamhill County and putting down roots. As their community grew, these citizens knew that they were going to need a form of government and a chief law enforcement officer to maintain law and order. As a result, the City of Lafayette, which was founded in 1846, became the county seat.

Years later the county seat was moved to McMinnville and the old Lafayette Courthouse was donated to the Evangelical Church, which was used as a seminary school until about 1900.

The new county courthouse in McMinnville was built around 1888; and the first official session of the board of commissioners took place on January 9, 1889.

The present courthouse, originally completed in 1964, was constructed around the former as it was demolished to make room for the new building.

Yamhill County is comprised of several incorporated townships and unincorporated communities within its 718 square miles; which includes 2 square miles of water. As of 2008 estimates collated by the US Census Bureau, the population has exceeded 98,160; which reflects a 15.5% percent change between April 2000 and July 2008. Despite the recession, Yamhill County continues to flourish with new and expanding businesses, to include new attractions as well. Delford M. Smith, founder of Evergreen International Aviation, brought The Evergreen Aviation Museum to McMinnville in 2000. Since then the museum has been expanded

with a 55,000 square foot IMAX Theater and a Space Museum; which contains an equally impressive assortment of flying machines and other displays related to space exploration. Soon there will be a resort lodge and separate indoor water park with a Boeing 747 mounted on the park’s roof. Water enthusiasts near and far will get the opportunity to slide out of the 747 into the swimming pools below. Long time local residents and well known business entrepreneurs, the Austin Family have brought the first five star quality hotel and restaurant to Yamhill County. The Allison Inn and Spa, featuring

the Jory Restaurant, is located in Newberg amidst a field of grassy knolls and an adjacent vineyard. The Willamette Valley, which covers a large portion of Yamhill County, is the heart of Oregon’s wine industry with over 80 wineries and 200 vineyards. Aside from the wine tours, Yamhill County has several attractions and events of interest to not only the local community, but travelers as well. These attractions and events include the Gallery Theater located in McMinnville, where live plays or music is performed; numerous art galleries and antique shops, hot air balloon and helicopter rides; and a wide assortment of coffee shops and restaurants of various ethnic styles and themes . In addition there are several historic parks, wildlife refuges, pristine camping sites, and a number of waterways for boating on the Willamette and Yamhill rivers. The Chief Law Enforcement Officer for Yamhill County is Sheriff Jack Crabtree, who was elected by the citizens in November 2002 as the county’s 29th Sheriff. With more than 25 years of law enforcement experience, Sheriff Crabtree is in command of a full service law enforcement agency comprised of the following sections: a Patrol Division, Special Investigations Unit, a K-9 unit, Marine Patrol, Forest Patrol, Reserves, Civil Process, Mounted Posse, Records, Administration, Court Security, and a Jail facility with a 260 inmate capacity. Another small but very important part of the Sheriff’s Office is Dog Control, a unit that is completely self-sufficient; operating solely on revenue from licensing, citations, pet adoptions and public donations. In addition to the agency’s divisions, the Sheriff’s Office also has several volunteers, a Search and Rescue team, and a successful Cadet program. Sheriff Crabtree also continues his role as Chairman of the Board for Yamhill Communications (YCOM),

Page 14

which includes overseeing a budget of over $2.5 million dollars. The Sheriff’s Office is a 24-hour, 365 days a year operation covering the entire county; to include direct law enforcement services within contract cities, as well as providing assistance and investigative expertise to the agencies of Amity, Carlton, Dundee, Newberg, McMinnville, and Yamhill. Additionally, the Sheriff’s Office has special investigative units with the respective functions of taking part in the Yamhill County Major Crimes Response Team, the Yamhill County Interagency Narcotics Team (YCINT), the Multi-Disciplinary Child Abuse Team; and the Multi-Agency Traffic Team. The forest lands of Yamhill County are also a responsibility of the Sheriff’s Office; which includes enforcing gaming and other environmental related

laws and regulations. This function of the patrol division is aided by cooperative funding from sources that include the Bureau of Land Management and six private timber companies.

The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office is very much about getting the community involved in its daily operations. At every available opportunity we have encouraged members of the community to volunteer in a variety of operations conducted by the Sheriff’s Office. These operations include but are not limited to the Volunteer Response Unit, Search and Rescue, Sheriff’s Mounted Posse, Cadets; and as of late, the Citizens Volunteer Academy. The following are highlights of 2009 that represent some of the achievements, improvements, and recognized work of the Sheriff’s Office from those within our community and the State as well. In March, Project Lifesaver was activated for the first time under the Sheriff’s Office, and successfully found its first missing person within 10 minutes. In April, State Representative Jim Weidner Submitted a letter of appreciation to the Sheriff’s Office congratulating our service to the community. In May, the new medical facility in the jail was completed and placed into operation.

In June, the new Sally Port and Booking area of the jail was completed and placed into operation.

Also in June, deputies in the West-Valley responded

to and investigated a bank robbery that was solved within 130 minutes!

The Sheriff’s Office also teamed up with McMinnville Police and Golden Valley Brew Pub for “Tip a Cop” night, that raised money for Special Olympics Oregon. YCINT and others were recognized for their outstanding works in successfully eradicating a large opium grow within county forestlands. In August, a grand jury inspection of the jail facility returned positive remarks, noting the management of the facility as “excellent!”

In September, in cooperation with Cold Stone Ice Creamery, members of the Sheriff’s Office scooped ice cream in raising money for the “Make a Wish” Foundation.

In October, following the completed renovations and new areas of the jail facility being placed into operation, received high marks during its final inspection.

In November, Polk County Sheriff Bob Wolfe submitted a letter thanking the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team’s efforts assisting their agency in search of a missing individual.

Though 2009 is behind us and we’ve only just begun 2010, there are still a lot of new and rewarding experiences yet to be had; and certainly a number of challenges to be faced as well.

As with any law enforcement agency, the challenges of keeping up with technology, outfitting personnel with up to date equipment and proper gear, and other resources that assist in our daily operations will undoubtedly continue.

Regardless of what is yet to come, this Office will continue to look into its past experiences and achievements; and upon reflection use the knowledge gained in planning ahead with the foresight of making not only the present, but also the future of this Office the most efficient law enforcement agency in the State of Oregon.

“It is the Mission of the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office to provide our citizens with high quality law enforcement services, in an ethical and fiscally responsible manner.”

Annual Report

The duties of the County Sheriff and his deputies have come a long way since the mid 1800’s. The tools of patrolling and fighting crime was once done on horseback armed with a six-shot revolver, rudimentary restraints, and a rather small jail facility.

Today the Sheriff and his Deputies have more advanced training, improved weapons and equipment to carryout thorough investigations; and vehicles equipped with the latest technology to patrol and proactively fight crime within the communities of Yamhill County.

The Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division has 30 sworn deputies, 6 sergeants, and 4 reserves charged with facilitating the following patrol related operations: law enforcement services in contracting cities, the School Resource Officer program, K-9 unit, Special Investigations Unit, Dog Control, Forest and Marine Patrol.

In 2009, the Sheriff’s Office received more than 25,688 calls for service that include but were not limited to the following: traffic accidents, alarm notifications, person and property related crimes; as well has other various criminal investigations.

FOCUS: Proactive Law Enforcement and Customer Service

In order to reduce crime and improve relations between deputies and the citizenry of Yamhill County, the Sheriff’s Office has placed more emphasis on proactive rather than reactive law enforcement methods; specifically focusing on customer service.

While proactive law enforcement takes many forms, some of the methods utilized by the Sheriff’s Office include but are not limited to the following: patrol saturations enforcing DUII and seat belt laws; emphasized patrol intervals providing a highly visible presence in areas of increased traffic and/or known “hot spots” recognized by statistically correlated increase in reported criminal activity; and community oriented policing strategies that foster and maintain a reciprocal positive relationship with the community that we serve and protect.

As a part of the Sheriff’s Office focus on customer service, anyone having contact with our deputies can expect the following:

Treating all persons with courtesy, respect and professionalism.

Fair, equitable, and decisiveness in all decisions. Quick and dependable responses to calls for

service. Providing clear and concise information that will

assist all customers contacted.

School Resource Officers (SRO) In 2009 we continued the SRO program with the posting of three SROs within the respective school districts: Dayton, Sheridan and Willamina. Funding for these three posts are provided in part by the schools and the cities being served. Thus, in addition to the deputies duties as an SRO, they also take calls for service as a part of their traditional law enforcement role within these contract cities. Deputies who are assigned as an SRO have several responsibilities, which include but are not limited to enforcing the law, assisting school staff with problem solving options; and most importantly customer service in establishing trust and confidence between the Sheriff’s Office and the staff and students of the school districts in which they serve. An SRO also provides a law enforcement presence at extracurricular activities and events; as well as providing education and advice to school administrators and teachers about the duties and responsibilities of law enforcement. Those assigned as an SRO have received training and certification provided through the National Association of School Resource Officers (for more information, visit: http://www.nasro.org/home).

Forest Patrol Yamhill County has over 400 square miles of forestland, which include environmentally protected lands, hiking trails, off-road access areas, and several active and abandoned logging roads. The Forest Patrol receives additional funding through federal forest grants and monies from private timber companies. The Forest Patrol Deputy enforces criminal, game and other state and federal laws and regulations protecting the forestland environment. These laws and regulations include vandalism, malicious littering, poaching, and any wanton destruction (e.g. arson, illegal logging) of forest land.

Special Investigative Unit (SIU) The Special Investigations Unit consists of four sworn detectives with specialized training equipping them with the skills and knowledge to conduct investigations and develop detailed case reports involving high profile crimes (e.g. homicide, abuse, drugs, etc.).

Additionally some of the detectives, as well as a number of deputies, are certified Deputy Medical Examiners charged with investigating unattended or suspicious circumstances in an individual’s death. SIU detectives are also a part of the Multi-Discipline Child Abuse Team (MCAT), which collaborates with other local and state professionals involved in investigating and the prosecution of child abuse crimes. These types of crimes are typically reported to the Department of Human Services (DHS), then these cases are cross-reported to the detectives for investigation in determining if a crime has in fact been committed involving a child. The practice of cross-reporting is a measure of checks and balance between the complaint and investigative process of child abuse reporting. Another investigative role that the detectives participate in include the Major Crimes Response Team (MCRT); which is a coordination between law enforcement agencies and city, county and the District Attorney’s Office in optimizing responses and solutions to potentially complicated crimes.

Contract Cities

The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office continues to provide contractual law enforcement services with the full support and resources of the Sheriff’s Office to the cities of Dayton, Sheridan, Willamina (West Valley), and Lafayette.

Each city benefits from the following services: communications dispatch, records and statistical data, civil services, processing and service of warrants, drug enforcement and interdictions; in addition to implementing community policing strategies – e.g. code enforcement – as well as contracting with local schools for the placement of an SRO.

Incorporated Cities

In providing contract law enforcement services to the cities of Dayton, Willamina, Sheridan and Lafayette; the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office is also the primary law enforcement agency for the entire county. However, there are a number of incorporated cities that have their own jurisdictive police departments.

Those cities include Amity, Carlton, Dundee, McMinnville, Newberg, and Yamhill; all of whom the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office provides supplemental law enforcement services to their respective police departments.

Founded in 1850 by Andrew Smith and Joel Palmer, Dayton was named after Smith’s hometown in Ohio. Shortly after the first post office opened in 1851, Joel Palmer’s house was completed; which remains the

oldest standing structure remaining in Dayton today.

With numerous homes and buildings on the National Historic Register, Dayton was the first city in the State of Oregon to be designated as a national historic resource.

Dayton’s education system dates back well into the 1800’s; and since then there have been several newer schools built replacing the other. As of late, the City of Dayton passed a $9 million dollar levy to build three new schools: an elementary, grade and high school.

Contract Cities

One prominent piece of history found here is the Fort Yamhill Blockhouse located in the NW corner of Courthouse Square Park. It was moved from Grand Ronde Valley in 1911 in honor of Joel Palmer.

Serving as State Senator from 1846 to 1866, Palmer also ran for Governor in 1870 but lost the election by less than 700 votes.

While there are many visible monuments to the memory of Joel Palmer, who donated and laid out most of the land for Dayton, the greatest monument to his posterity is the spirit of progress, community loyalty, and pride in its pioneer heritage.

Operating out of the sub-station located in the City Hall Annex, the Sheriff’s Office provides full law enforcement logistical support for the City of Dayton; to include an SRO for Dayton’s School District #8.

The City of Sheridan was established in the 1860s when the first post office opened for business. It wasn’t until October 26, 1880 that the City of Sheridan was incorporated when Governor W. Thayer

signed an act of the Oregon Legislature. Primarily a farming and timber community, the largest employer of this community is the Federal Correctional Institute (FCI), a federal minimum and medium security prison.

Located in the west part of the Willamette Valley along the South Yamhill River, access across the river into Sheridan has changed over the years. For example, in the early 1900’s there was an archway one would have to cross under along their route along “The Road of a Thousand Wonders.”

Though the archway is no longer there, the current bridge, built in 1938 and opened in 1939, replaced the older steel bridge; which was eventually moved further down the river. The Sheridan bridges are the only means of crossing the river from and into town.

The Sheridan community maintains its own school district which offers public, private and charter schools; including a traditional high school, a Japanese school, and The Delphian School. Since its founding, Sheridan has had a number of schoolhouses providing a public education. Pictured below is one such school from approximately 1906.

As a part of the law enforcement services contracted with the City of Sheridan, the Sheriff’s Office provides a School Resource Officer in support of Sheridan’s School District 48J. The SRO works with the school administration, staff, and more importantly the students.

Founded in 1879 and incorporated in 1902, the City of Willamina is located in both Polk and Yamhill County.

Since the city’s founding it has thrived on agriculture,

brick production, and the timber industry as well. The city has been called “The Gateway to the Coast,” “The Town with the Big Payroll,” “Brickburg,” and presently “Timbertown U.S.A.”

Willamina is rich in history and has preserved much of it in their Museum of Local History housed in one of the remaining oldest buildings in the city, a church built in 1877.

Willamina is located next to the South Yamhill River near the intersection of Highway 18, Highway 18 Business, and Highway 22; neighboring the communities of Sheridan and Grand Ronde.

Though Willamina is still a timber town with the main employer being the Willamina Lumber Company; Spirit Mountain Casino also weighs in as another of the cities major employers.

As a part of the law enforcement services contracted with the City of Willamina, to include code enforcement, the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office also provides an SRO in the Willamina’s School District.

Willamina once had only one public school in the early 1900’s (top photo), present day it now has three: a high school, middle school, and elementary school. In addition to providing an SRO, the Sheriff’s Office also has a Reserve Deputy ensuring Code Enforcement is maintained throughout Willamina. The beneficial impact of the Sheriff’s Office to the citizens of Willamina became self-evident mid-June 2009, when a local bank was robbed. However the alleged robber did not get very far, as Sheriff’s deputies quickly took the lead and apprehended the alleged bank robber in less than 130 minutes!

The City of Lafayette was founded in 1846, the first post office was opened in 1851; and it was incorporated on October 17, 1878.

Established on the main Indian Trail that traversed the Willamette Valley, at one point being on the Yamhill River that was then known as Yamhill Falls; Lafayette was the original county seat for Yamhill County from its founding until the county residents voted to move it to McMinnville in 1889.

In the mid 1900s, Lafayette had its own police force, as depicted by this undated photograph.

Lafayette Police Patrol

For many years now the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office has been providing contractual law enforcement services, to include code enforcement, for the City of Lafayette. The Sheriff’s Deputy works out of the Lafayette City Hall, just across from the Post Office.

The Sheriff’s Office has had a positive impact on the residents of Lafayette in maintaining a sense of law and order. One such example occurred during the summer of 2009 when Sheriff’s Deputies investigated and successfully apprehended several suspects involved in defacing public and private property.

Though time has passed, several historic buildings still remain along the main street through Lafayette. For example, the old dry goods store owned by R.P. Hamblin pictured below.

With modernization of paved roads and other developments since then, the old building remains; but it is now a local eatery specializing in traditional Italian dishes, catering to wine enthusiasts as they travel throughout the Willamette Valley on various local winery tours.

Amity was established between 1848 and 1849 by Joseph and Ahio S. Watt, two brothers whom immigrated to Oregon over the Oregon Trail.

The name "Amity,” meaning friendship or harmony between individuals or groups, originated from the name of a school that was built by two rival communities subsequent to an amicable settlement of a dispute. Then on October 19, 1880 the Oregon Legislative Assembly incorporated the town of Amity.

Joseph established the first woolen mill in Oregon, and in 1868 shipped wheat to England in the first instance of Oregon wheat being sent around Cape Horn. These shipments were most likely taken out of Amity by railway through the Amity Depot when trains first began traveling to and from Amity in 1879.

Amity’s first Post Office was established in 1853, and the first newspaper, The Amity Popgun, began in 1892.

Shortly after the first Amity Church was founded, the first school was also founded, Black Hawk School. This log building continued as

Amity’s only school as late as 1873. With a student body of 22 taught by William Lysander Adams, who arrived in Yamhill County after leaving Bethany College in 1848, came one Oregon State Governor, one U.S. Representative and Senator, one Oregon State Supreme Court Justice, and five physicians.

As Amity grew, so did the need for a larger schoolhouse; one of the first being built in approximately 1914, which marked the beginning of Amity School District #1.

Today Amity’s high school serves in excess of 274 students; and in 2008 an astounding 86% of its student body received their high school diplomas.

Local area attractions include an aquatic center, Turkey Rama, a historic district, Bald State Peak park, Maude Williams State Park, Siuslaw National Forrest, Amity Vineyards, an annual Pancake Breakfast (for over 40 years), Brigittine Monastery, and the Amity Daffodil Festival.

The City of Carlton began as a midway stop along the railroad between Portland and St. Joe stations. Over time the railroad

employees grew in numbers, as did the residents of the area, which became known as Carli’s town. The first post office was established in around 1874, with F. J. Fryer serving as the first Postmaster for Carlton. Eventually Carli’s town was incorporated as Carlton in1899.

A part of Carlton’s early history involves John Wennerberg, born in Sweden in 1837, who immigrated to Oregon in the early 1870s at the urging of his brother, Daniel. Having an affinity for farming as a business and an operation, Daniel introduced John to two prominent citizens of Portland who owned farm properties in the Yamhill River Valley. Naturally John was asked to manage several of their farms, later purchasing his own farmland in the Carlton area.

Over the years Wennerberg brought several Swedes to his farm as farmhands and housekeepers, later helping them acquire farms of their own. John Wennerberg is often thought of as the founder of the Swedish-American community in and around Carlton.

One of Carlton’s parks is named after John Wennerberg, where “Carlton’s Walk in the Park” takes place. This event is a benefit for local charities where local artists, musicians, restaurants, and wineries get together for a fun filled August weekend.

Carlton’s historic Main Street offers quite a few antique stores, fine dining, wineries and tasting rooms. Within walking distance are several other services, to include the Carlton Gallery, Woodland Woolworks; and lodging with Carlton Cottages and the Lobenhaus Bread and Breakfast. In April 2009, the Oregon Main Street Resource Team visited Carlton with the goal of revitalizing historic Main Street; which has a strategic advantage with a strong cluster of wine-making/tasting businesses and emerging high quality restaurants. Despite the recession, plans are in the works for economic and community development not only in Carlton, but in many cities throughout Yamhill County.

The City of Dundee was named in honor of the birth-place of William Reid, Dun-dee, Scotland.

The first post office in the area was Ekins, established

in 1881; however it was closed in 1885 with a new post office opening in 1887, named “Dundee Junc-tion”; which was renamed “Dundee” in 1897.

The Post Office still stands today, which is now an antique store.

With an abundance of highly rated restaurants, award winning wineries, unparalleled vistas, and ex-cellent quality of life, Dundee is a required stop on every Wine Country tour.

Dundee's parks provide a pleasant getaway for a little hiking, a little stroll, or perhaps a picnic in one of three parks from which to choose. Billick Park, adja-cent to Dundee Elementary, hosts a variety of sport-ing events and festivals throughout the spring, sum-mer, and fall and offers walking trails, playgrounds, picnic areas and tennis courts. Falcon Crest Park and

picturesque Crabtree Park, near Erath Vine-yards, both provide nature areas, trails and many play areas to explore.

During the recession many people are pooling their resources together to restore one of Dun-dee’s historical landmarks, the Dundee Community Hall; which was originally built in 1915, that was once the place of business for a barber shop, confection-ery, a gathering space for local residents, a stage and a library.

The Dundee Women’s Club and Dundee Commu-nity Center Restoration Committee remained resilient in an ambitious restoration project that is now under-way; the completion date is scheduled to be in 2015, during the city’s centennial celebration.

Area events and attractions include the Riverwood Golf Course, the Vineyard Bed and Breakfast, the Dundee Farmers Market between June and Septem-ber; and Inn at Red Hills that provides lodging, a wine bar, and the unique gourmet café & market called “farm to fork.”

The City of McMinnville is the county seat for Yamhill County. Located where the North and South Forks of the Yamhill River converge in the Willamette Valley.

McMinnville was incorporated as a town in 1876 and became a city in 1882; but it did not became the county seat, originally located in the City of Lafayette, until in 1886.

A thriving agricultural center, McMinnville was described as one of the most flourishing villages within the county as of 1866. With more than 300 residents, the booming community enjoyed five stores, three blacksmiths, two wagon shops, one photo artist, a silversmith, one shoe shop, two churches, a flour mill, and even two doctors.

McMinnville at one time even had its own National Guard, as seen among the nurses and other courthouse staff in front of the former county courthouse.

McMinnville is also the location of Linfield College, a four-year undergraduate liberal arts and sciences college. It is one of the oldest colleges in the western United States; tracing its roots to a Baptist institution established in 1849, before Oregon became a state. Today Linfield serves eight communities.

Oddly enough, McMinnville is also well known among UFO researchers and fans of the such paranormal phenomena. This came about due to a photograph that was published in the June 9, 1950 Telephone-Register (now the News-Register), that was reportedly an unidentified flying object taken a month earlier by a local farmer. Now each year a “UFO Festival” is held in the historic downtown district, which is reportedly the biggest gathering in the Pacific Northwest; and second in the country only to the festival held in Roswell, New Mexico.

In 1848, Joseph Rogers settled down and planted roots along the Willamette River in what is now known as Newberg.

Incorporated as a town in 1889, along with its first

official newspaper, The Newberg Graphic, was established the same year. Newberg was then incorporated as a city when its Charter was adopted in 1893.

In the center of town is George Fox University, the only evangelical Christian University in the Pacific Northwest. Originally founded by Quakers in 1891, the university was originally called Pacific Academy.

Located approximately 28 miles southwest of Portland in the northeast side of Yamhill County, this small but modest community has retained its distinct physical separation from the metro region.

Surrounded by an enjoyable lush greenbelt of rural forests, farmlands and vineyards, Newberg is also know as the home of former President Herbert Hoover, the 31st President of the United States. In addition to its historic downtown at the city’s center, other areas of interest include Bald Peak State and Champoeg Park, Roger’s Landing (i.e. boat launch on the Willamette River); and for those seeking a little

rest and relaxation there is the Allison Inn and Spa. Newberg is a fast growing community that has managed to maintain a relaxed pace that complements the cordiality of the people who live here. It is a community where its citizens are rightfully proud of their Newberg heritage and its future.

Further evidence that Yamhill County is thriving despite the recession is the fact that Portland Community College has purchased more than 16 acres of land in Newberg to build a new educational facility. With construction on the horizon, the estimated completion date of this new campus is sometime in the fall of 2011.

Still rich in history, Newberg still has one of the last four operating drive-in theaters in the state with the 99-W Drive-in; in addition to a historic indoor theater, the Cameo.

Local events include the “First Friday Art Walk” through historic downtown Newberg where numerous restaurants, coffee and pastry shops, art galleries, jewelers, and wine tasting rooms open to the public.

Last but not least is Vista Balloon Adventures that provide rides across various portions of Yamhill County with stunning views and great photographic opportunities. Following this airborne adventure, everyone gathers for a communal breakfast and a toast to their shared experience.

The City of Yamhill is located in the northern part of Yamhill County, at the intersections of Highway 47 and Highway 240.

Originally named North Yamhill, with its first post office being established in 1851; the city was later incorporated on February 20, 1891. Then in 1908 the city name was changed to “Yamhill.”

Shortly after becoming incorporated, the first Grade School was built establishing Yamhill’s primary school District 16.

Due to their proximity and respective population size, Yamhill and Carlton school districts are combined into one providing an intermediate, elementary and high school.

Yamhill, or North Yamhill as it was once called, had humble beginnings as just a store along the stage road to Tillamook. When the Southern Pacific Railroad arrived, North Yamhill became the starting point along the Tillamook Trail.

In 1891 the council members voted to have a jail built, which was eventually located between Maple and Laurel streets. Being a one room building with two barred windows, it was eventually torn down due to a lack of demand for the jail.

On December 21, 1892 the first coal oil lamps were installed by the Council Members on posts along Maple Street. In 1892 dollars, these lamps cost $53.05 to light, maintain, and turn off later in the evening. Eventually someone was hired at $.20 a night to accomplish this task; the first lamplighter being Chester Fox, nephew of Lee Laughlin.

At one point and time in North Yamhill’s history, it was legislated under Ordinance 20, that cows giving milk and owned within the town’s limits could be permitted to run at large between five a.m. and nine p.m. However the section under this Ordinance was repealed on June 18, 1907; thus making it safer to walk the streets of North Yamhill without having to worry about crossing paths with a wandering cow.

Some notable residents who have lived in the City of Yamhill include Beverly Cleary, a children’s author, who wrote her first memoir titled A Girl from Yamhill; Jeri Ellsworth, entrepreneur and self-taught computer chip designer; Nicholas Kristof, columnist for the New York Times; and Merle C. “Hap” Johnson, who was a decorated U.S.A.F. Colonel who served in France and Spain during World War II.

Though not one of the most largest cities in Yamhill County, it’s modest size allows for a peaceful rural environment; and the climate makes it ripe for the local vineyards.

K-9 The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office has long been committed to the fight against illicit drugs and their impact on the community it serves. Although legislation surrounding pseudoephedrine has lessened the environmental and health impacts of methamphetamine laboratories, the scourge of meth continues to drive the criminal element in Oregon. Yamhill County is no exception. Although he has very active patrol deputies, and a drug detective assigned to the Yamhill County Interagency Narcotics Team, Sheriff Jack Crabtree recently added a four legged tool to this fight. Remi, a two year old German Wirehair, has recently begun training as the county’s newest “Deputy.”

Remi was purchased using donated funds through Yamhill County Dog Control. Highly trained, Remi has already shown how her skills from hunting birds can be modified to hunting various controlled substances, such as methamphetamines, marijuana, cocaine, and heroine. Every good dog needs a good handler; as such, Deputy Marc Brodeur was chosen through a competitive process and has committed to the program’s success. Deputy Brodeur and Remi were trained by Oregon Police Canine Association (OPCA) Master Trainer and Department of Corrections Dog Handler Mack Reid. Sheriff Crabtree is grateful that Mack, a rural resident of Dayton, was willing to take on the enormous task of training this energetic team; and he is proud that it is a Yamhill County resident doing the training. Both Deputy Brodeur and Remi successfully completed the OPCA standards certification test in August, and since they have been working side by side ever since.

Though the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office has had access to tracking dogs through volunteer teams, such as Oregon K9 Special Teams, for a number of years; the Sheriff’s Office began research into a low cost option for its own specialized tracking dog. This decision was due to several factors, which include but were not limited to manpower for containment, low capture rates of assisting agency’s canines, and unavailability of canines when needed. As a result, Deputy Tom Hoy took the initiative and spent substantial time researching information that would provide a suitable alternative to this situation. Sifting through quite a bit of information, he soon discovered the high success rate of Bloodhounds in the eastern and southern parts of the U.S. Although Bloodhounds are routinely used on patrol in other parts of the country, they have not been as well established in the west due to a lack of sufficient knowledge and education of this breed of canine for tracking purposes. The Sheriff’s Office immediately saw the value of not only being able to successfully track and catch a fleeing offender, but also in the ability to search for missing children and Alzheimer patients with zero risk of injury since Bloodhounds are not trained to bite; rather they track and locate the missing with a sense of passion. In short, Deputy Hoy came into contact with Robert Stevens of Douglas, Massachusetts, trained and bred Bloodhounds for law enforcement and Search and Rescue use for 45 years. This contact quickly became invaluable, as the Sheriff’s Office was able to obtain a Bloodhound trained just for Deputy Hoy free of charge; along with a quality K-9 transport cage donated by the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office The end result for the YCSO K9 team is a trained tracking canine with an extremely high success rate.

The Sheriff’s Office detective assigned to YCINT works together with officers from McMinnville and Newberg-Dundee Police departments, in addition to the Oregon State Police (OSP) in the investigation and interdiction of illegal drug activities within Yamhill County. YCINT is overseen by a Policy Board comprised of the Yamhill County Sheriff, Chiefs of Police for McMinnville and Newberg-Dundee, the Station Commander for OSP, and the Yamhill County District Attorney.

The following information recounts some of the cases and seizures that YCINT engaged in:

There was an increase in Medical Marijuana cases, with one specific medical marijuana grow that was not in compliance with DHS; which resulted in the seizure of 153.84 grams of Marijuana and 1 weapon. There were 3 cases that led to the seizure of prescription drugs being sold: 10 Vicodin, 27 Hydrocodone, 22 morphine, and 4,235 Oxycotin seized in providing assistance to a case originating with the Oregon State Police in Salem, Oregon. 38 out of 146 of YCINT investigations resulted in the seizure of meth. 8 cases were MJ Grow, which is significantly down from last year (18). 1 large Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO) grow where 1900 plants were seized along with 68 pounds of processed marijuana. Approximately 20 children were referred to DHS, usually present while drugs were being dealt (NOTE: Sometimes the same child/home was involved in multiple investigations). At least 3 of the homes were Section 8 government housing. There were 16 juveniles involved in YCINT cases, which is a significant increase from last year. A total of 30 weapons were seized, which is nearly double (16 seizures) that of 2008. Throughout 2009 there were approximately 814 tips received by the Intelligence Analyst. This is likely in part due to community education and awareness

Page 32

Annual Report

with officers and deputies handing out “Drug Tip” cards when they have made contact with citizens concerned with potential drug activities in their neighborhoods. The most notable success for YCINT in 2009 was the seizure of 36,101 poppies, which was the first ever in Yamhill County and largest in state. The first grow was located on tribal land in Grand Ronde; and the second was on private timber company property adjoined with tribal lands. It was The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde who located both grows and immediately contacted YCINT. This seizure was featured in the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association Oregon Sheriff Magazine, Volume 25, Number 6, Fall 2009 (following two pages); and an article dated July 22, 2009 published at the Salem-News.com (below).

Yamhill Drug Cops Take Out Another Opium Poppy Grow Site

(McMINNVILLE, Ore.) - A crop normally grown in places like Afghanistan and China, the fabled opium poppy, has been making a showing lately in Oregon Willamette Valley farm country.

The Yamhill County Interagency Narcotics Team raided an illegal poppy plant grow site in rural Yamhill County, On July 17th, 2009.

Sgt. Dwayne Willis with the Yamhill County Interagency Narcotics Team, says the plants were reportedly discovered on private timber lands northwest of Grand Ronde. Willis says the plants were growing in multiple plots in a clear cut area and ranged in size from a few inches to 4 feet in height.

"A total of 24,045 plants were seized by detectives. The estimated street value of the opium contained in the plants was approximately $90,000."

He says this is the second opium poppy plant seizure the drug team has made this month.

The previous grow site was eradicated on July 2nd where a total of 12,056 plants were seized. Investigators believe the two are connected.

Once thought of as an exotic plant growing on the far off shores of a distant country and seen only on the 6 o’clock news; the Opium poppy has arrived in Oregon. Discovered growing in the coast range of Yamhill County, over 36,000 plants have been seized in the last two months. Linn County also reported finding approximately 8,000 plants growing in their county in the last year.

Is this a fad or are we seeing a new emerging trend in our state?

According to Yamhill County Sheriff Jack Crabtree, the Yamhill County poppies were located growing in a very dry and ash based soil in the Grand Ronde area. They were planted in recently logged areas that had been burned in preparation for reforestation. These conditions are perfect for Opium poppies.

Planting poppies is very simple and requires very little effort. The seeds are hand broadcast on the area where they are to be grown. After seeding, the poppies are left to Mother Nature and soon sprout. They take approximately 2-3 months to fully mature and be ready for scoring.

In the scoring process opium is coaxed from the plant by slitting

the head or pod of the poppy and allowing it to seep the milky white opium. After it dries, the opium is collected from the pod and through various methods turned into Heroin and other extremely addictive pain reducing substances.

Opium poppies are more often found growing in the arid mountainous regions of Burma, Afghanistan and Central Mexico.

Residents of these areas produce raw Opium that is later converted to both (Mexican) brown and (China) white Heroin. Also made from the Opium are pharmaceutical grade medications such as Fentanyl and Morphine.

Because of the many uses of the poppy it is not certain what these poppies were destined to become. Raw opium itself can be smoked. Refining the opium into other drugs is very tedious and time consuming; however it does not require a technologically advanced lab for the conversion process. Some basic chemicals and a knowledge base of the process are all that is required.

Oregon law enforcement is very familiar with finding illegally grown substances such as marijuana, but it came as a surprise to discover opium poppies here. Initially located by alert employees of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, they couldn’t believe what they had stumbled onto. After checking the poppies against pictures found on the internet, they notified Sheriff’s Deputy’s.

From the onset investigators were surprised to be dealing with heroin. They are well trained and equipped to deal with marijuana grows, but now they were confronted with thousands of opium producing poppies. Calls went out to federal law enforcement for protocols and procedures used in dealing with opium poppies. Calls came in from other state and local law enforcement agencies wanting to know what the plants looked like and how to deal with them.

It is uncertain at this time whether or not these poppies were a test grow, or if poppies have been successfully grown on a large scale in Oregon before. What is known at this time is that this is brand new to Oregon law enforcement. Due to amazing cooperation between all agencies involved, protocols and procedures have been developed to deal with this threat in the future.

“With our accessibility to air support resources, we will be successful in rooting out this newly discovered scourge” said Sheriff Crabtree. “Because of discoveries like this, it is my intention to seek all reasonable means to regionalize the current Yamhill County Air Support Program. Not unlike many law enforcement issues, these growers are not concerned with county lines. A regionalized, statewide, and even national approach will be necessary to effectively combat this dangerous criminal activity.”

Anyone who encounters colorful poppies growing on our forestlands should contact their local sheriff.

The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office Marine Division is responsible for patrolling navigable waters in and around Yamhill County in accordance with a contract for service held with the Oregon State Marine Board. The Marine Board Motto is “Education through Enforcement” and is “dedicated to promoting boating safety, education and access in an enhanced environment.”

Marine patrols regularly perform courtesy safety inspections, answer questions, give direction, assist stranded boaters, assist in search and rescue operations, and assist with boating safety education programs and school programs; in addition to standard law enforcement functions.

In 2009 a new Program Manager, as well as the introduction of a nearly totally new Marine Safety Law Enforcement staff, comprised the Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol. All the deputies that served in 2009 completed the Marine Safety Law Enforcement Academy that consisted of two weeks of rigorous training; that which consists of a combination of classroom, on water and swimming pool exercises designed to prepare our deputies with a basic knowledge of proper on water procedures to enhance and improve the experiences and safety of the boating public.

In addition to the sworn marine deputies, there are also several marine certified deputies who assist with patrols and other assigned duties as needed.

Areas of Responsibility

The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office has primary patrol responsibility on the Willamette River between Boone’s Landing in Wilsonville and the Wheatland Ferry.

MARINE PATROL

Page 35

Annual Report

With the addition of the enhanced wake enforcement zone this primary area extends to a point below the Canby Ferry and upon request by Clackamas County includes the area above Willamette Falls.

The Marine Patrol also has patrol responsibilities on the Yamhill River from the mouth up to Lafayette Locks. The river is inaccessible by boat above the locks except in periods of high water.

The marine unit works well with both Clackamas and Polk Counties as well has having developing relation-ships with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and O.S.P. Game Division.

New 2010 Laws This was the first year of the new wake rules on the Willamette between the Highway 219 Bridge and Wil-low Bend.

We stepped up efforts in this area in an effort to in-crease awareness and education. Our contracted hours were also increased in anticipation of the need for presence in this area.

We did not run into a great deal of conflict and over-all saw compliance. Deputies spent the first part of the season issuing warnings except for blatant violations and stepped up enforcement after the first of July. The coming season brings with it the ban on usage of wake enhancing devices which may provide some chal-lenges but nothing that cannot be overcome.

Overall we are at nearly 91% of our contracted patrol hours with a remaining 246 hours of patrol time to be scheduled on the Willamette and Yamhill Rivers.

Our deputies have issued 61 citations, performed 635 boating examination reports, 183 compliance checks and observed alcohol being used during boat-ing activities 16 times.

Future Efforts Currently we are focused on developing closer work-ing relationships with the surrounding agencies in or-der to develop more efficient strategies in the en-hanced wake enforcement area. There are proposals to purchase a new patrol facility (Boat), which may in-clude retirement of our older boats and equipment.

Education is on the front burner and we are working to revamp the school education program. Additionally, there has been some concern that a lack of snow pack may cause lower river levels in other areas and cause an increase in activity and probable increase in prob-lems. Notwithstanding, everything is on track for an-other productive season.

Records & Civil Division As with any law enforcement agency, the Records Section provides an essential function as the point of first contact of the Sheriff’s Office assisting citizens who either walk into the business office; or by tele-phone, email, or facsimile.

Open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Records Section provides services that include but are not limited to the following: processing new and renewal Concealed Handgun License applications, processing requests for name scans for other law en-forcement agencies and public records requests, fin-gerprinting, notary services, disbursing witness fees originating from the Court and District Attorney’s Of-fice, processing daily case reports submitted by the deputies, computerized data entry of citations and DMV crash reports, expungements, and sex offender registration.

The Civil Division carries out the Sheriff’s statutory responsibility for the service of process and execution of writs. These judicial process documents originate from the courts, governmental agencies and private attorneys in Oregon and elsewhere throughout the United States. Examples of such documents include summonses, complaints and subpoenas, writs of pos-session for real estate, writs of garnishment; and in-junctions, or orders of protection (i.e. restraining or-ders) against domestic violence.

The Civil Deputy is formally trained in the civil proc-ess to ensure that all court orders are processed in ac-cordance with Oregon law and the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure. Ensuring that these submitted docu-ments for service and processing are complete, the Civil Deputy delivers the documents to the person named, or if the law allows, to a responsible party at the location provided on the documents for service.

Sheriff’s fees associated with civil processing are set by the Oregon Legislature and codified in the Oregon Revised Statutes. As of January 1, 2010, new legisla-tion increased the civil process service fees in accor-dance with House Bill 2392, and signed by Governor Kulongoski on July 28, 2009.

The Yamhill County Dog Control facility is not just about controlling dogs, reuniting dogs with their owners, or issuing licenses; it also actively functions as an adoption facility.

The facility is currently located at the Yamhill County Fairgrounds in McMinnville; and it is run and maintained by two dog control deputies, one records clerk, and inmates who are inmate trustees who assist in the cleaning of the kennels and care of the dogs in the facility.

Having been in operation for more than 30 years, Dog Control has been 100% self-funded; which means no taxpayer dollars are used in its daily operations. Also a part of that self-funding includes charitable donations that includes not only funding, but also food, blankets, collars and leashes, and cleaning supplies.

When a dog cannot be reunited with its owner, or is a stray, every attempt is made to have the dog adopted. Working with organizations like Animal Shelter.org and Petfinder.com, dogs available for adoption are posted online with details about the dog and the benefits of adopting a new pet. Some of those benefits include a first free veterinary examination, microchip and registration, discounts at local pet supply and feed stores, and obedience classes provided by Stuck On Obedience.

JAIL HISTORY

In 1889, the City of McMinnville became the county seat of Yamhill County. In moving the county seat from Lafayette, the first city jail was located between the McMinnville Fire Department and City Hall.

According to the earliest jail records, the first recorded inmate in the City Jail under Sheriff W. L. Warren was Nay Unger, age 21. He was arrested on October 17, 1891 for “assault with intent to kill,” and committed to a 1-year sentence under the authority of “Justice” on April 1, 1892; then released to the State Penitentiary on April 5, 1892.

Since the first jail was built and housed its first inmate in 1891, the county jail today is much larger with a capacity of holding up to 260 inmates; and the technologically used to monitor and control the inmates are far more advanced than the first city jail.

The jail functions on a 24 hour basis, 365 days a year with rotating shifts of correction and reserve deputies maintaining 24 hour security based on an evidence-based model of supervision; that which includes the utilization of audio and video technology recording processes. In fact, given the size and overall operations of this facility, it is comparable to that of a small city with utility costs that range as high as $150,000 to $200,000 a year.

JAIL OPERATIONS

The inmates take an active part in facilitating various jail operations, which includes but are not limited to having two inmates in each cell block assigned ensuring assigned block is cleaned on a daily basis; floor crews maintain the cleanliness and are responsible for any repairs of the floors throughout the jail; laundry services, and food preparation and delivery of meals.

The jail kitchen is operated by a one full time and one part time cook who supervises inmates that have passed the required health inspection for food handlers and receive their Oregon Food Handler Permit. As a result, there were 25 food handler cards issued in 2009. These inmates are committed to the preparation of an average of 645 to 777 meals a day (depending on the daily average inmate population), at a cost of approximately $1.32 each meal. A direct benefit of inmates working in the kitchen and obtaining their food handler permits; is the fact that upon completion of their sentence, many have acquired jobs in the food industry following their release.

JAIL INMATES Throughout the calendar year 2009, Correctional Deputies booked 4,439 individuals, with a daily average population of inmates being 215; which breaks down to 80% male and 20% female. Under a specific classification system, which is subject to continuous inspection in order to maintain cell placement standards; the inmates are categorized by not only their security level upon booking, but also their status (e.g. pending prisoner or sentencing for a specific term of confinement) and housed accordingly.

WORK CREWS

The Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with Community Corrections, provides work opportunities for sentenced inmates with the proper classification that would allow certain individuals to work outside the jail. In 2009, inmate work crews provided 59,360 hours of labor (an average of 5,000 hours a month) in various community service projects; which include but are not limited to the following: repairs and landscaping of the County Campus, county Fairgrounds, clean-up and beautification of county parks, kennel maintenance at Dog Control; in addition to cleaning horse stalls following equestrian events and other work related activities during the county fairs held each summer.

Inmates also aid in emergency situations; for example, during the winter storm of 2008, inmates rode with deputies who aided stranded motorists by putting on required chains, shoveling snow from roofs in danger of collapsing from the weight of the snow, and shoveling parking lots and walkways. They also assist the county road department by filling sand bags if and when there is a threat of flooding in flood prone areas of the county.

WORK RELEASE

The Jail, through cooperation with community corrections, provides for a work release program where inmates of a certain classification are allowed to be released for a predetermined amount of time to perform the duties of the employment, then return to the jail to carry out the terms of their sentence.

As a result of this program, those inmates with jobs are allowed to continue that employment in order to

Page 40

Annual Report

continue providing for themselves and their family. Upon completion of their sentencing, they return to their family and continue in their employment.

JAIL UPGRADES

In the final quarter of 2008, construction began on the existing jail facility with the goal of adding four additional medical spaces resulting in a total of 6 secure cell units; expansion of the intake and booking area from 3 to 6 larger capacity holding areas; and an extended secure Sally Port for the receiving and transportation of prisoners.

In July 2009, that construction was completed and all improved areas were placed into operation shortly thereafter. The medical facility’s increased secure cell space allows for 24 hour observation of those isolated with particular mental or medical health issues. In the intake and booking area, the increased space and cells allow for secure separation of males from females, co-defendants, and/or new intakes from the potential of being involved in a physical altercation.

Last but not least, the new Sally Port provides a large space where the transportation bus, as well as patrol vehicles, can all fit in the same space securely. The space is even large enough that should there be an emergency, for example a hazardous material spill requiring evacuation of the jail, it can safely and securely house those evacuated as a result of that emergency.

JAIL INSPECTIONS

Though the Jail is inspected on an annual basis, shortly after completion of all construction, it was once again inspected. In July two members of the Board of Commissioners, Commissioner Mary Stern, George, and Lewis conducted an inspection of the fail pursuant to Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 169.040.

In August 2009, a group of citizens from the community was empanelled as a grand jury to tour and inspect the jail; then report their findings to the presiding circuit court judge pursuant to ORS 132.440.

The jail facility passed both inspections with high marks, and it has been operating most efficiently in taking advantage of the new renovations made of the intake and booking area, Sally Port, and the expanded medical facility.

RENTAL OF JAIL BEDS The approximate $2 million dollars used to complete the renovations to the jail facility was obtained through the contracts with other county agencies for the rental of jail beds. As such, no local county tax dollars were used to complete the renovations to the jail.

This contractual program continues present day, for example, with Benton County who contracts for 10 jail beds. In 2009, there were an average of 14 beds rented at any given time.

New Sally Port (2009)

Comprised of one full time Deputy Sheriff assigned from the Jail Division of the Sheriff’s Office, and seven reserve deputies throughout the year; Courthouse Security is responsible for the safety and security of the Yamhill County Courthouse. This includes monitoring state and county offices on all three floors of the Courthouse; thus ensuring the safety of employees and their patrons. In addition to the safety and security of the courthouse, daily perimeter and security checks are also performed; as well as responding to any security issues for the surrounding county offices, to include monitoring the public transit bus station for any disturbances. Along with ensuring a safe environment for employees and visitors, Courthouse Security is also responsible for escorting and supervising all in-custody inmates between the jail and the County Courthouse for their schedule court appearances. Additionally, Courthouse Security is responsible for processing all book & releases from the court. Another responsibility that Courthouse Security is charged with involves the moving of inmates to and from the Yamhill County Jail and other State and County facilities throughout the State of Oregon. Agencies from across the state meet at the transfer “hub” twice a week to exchange inmates. The 463 inmates transported in 2009 reflected a decrease of 20% from 2008; and the 611 inmates transported out is a decrease of 18.6% from 2008.

During 2009 there were a total of 35 medical transports, most of which went to either the Physicians Medical Center or the Willamette Valley Medical Center. Total transports to and from the Federal Corrections Facility in Sheridan were 63; which is an increase of 33% from 2008. Two out of state fugitive extraditions were completed in 2009. One extradition from Alaska and one extradition from Florida were completed by court security in 2009. Overall, Courthouse Security deputies spent a total of 1100.75 hours transporting a total of 1244 inmates in 2009. This comes out to a monthly average of 104 inmates and an average of 92 hours per month. When not supervising in custody inmates or completing other required duties, Courthouse Security spends an average of 124.5 man hours a month in court for non custody court proceedings. When compared with the average of monthly man hours worked, Courthouse Security spends an average of 78% of there time with non custody and general security. This standby time assists in the orderly operation of the court system, assuring that court participants and spectators are following the rules and not causing disturbances. Another example of how standby time aids in the orderly operation is when a person is taken into custody from court. The number of pages and alarms from 2008 to 2009 reflects a significant decrease. In 2008 Courthouse Security was paged 159 times for new in custodies; and in 2009 there were 94 pages for new in custodies. Training of Courthouse Security personnel in 2009 included the following: firearm qualification, defensive tactics, taser electro-muscular disruption and stun belt training, use of force, report writing, hazmat; and CPR and First Aid certification. Most reserve deputies are retired law enforcement with a variety of years of experience, knowledge and training. As such, they are a tremendous asset to the daily operations and security of the courthouse and surrounding County campus buildings.

Courthouse Security Transportation Activity

The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office provides several volunteer opportunities for members of the community to learn more and be a part of its operations. Those opportunities include the Sheriff’s Mounted Posse, Cadets, Jail Volunteers, Administration, Search and Rescue (SAR), Volunteer Response Unit (VRU), and through the Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES).

Sheriff’s Mounted Posse The Posse’s purpose is to serve as an equestrian service orientated extension of the Sheriff’s Office. Members will have the chance to attend public and private functions such as community parades, fairs, school events, and/or act as event security, crowd and traffic control. Additionally, each member is subject to call out for emergency service as requested. Membership requirements include being a person who is at least of 21 years of age, citizens of the United States, are of good moral character and reputation, have acceptable mounts and transportation to move their mounts. They also have to perform satisfactorily on a horse and rider evaluation before final consideration of membership. The Posse meets monthly and rides weekly at the Yamhill County Fairgrounds’ indoor arena. Training and recreational trail rides and campouts are also held regularly that foster camaraderie and the promotion of equestrian skills and experience. The Posse is an all volunteer equestrian team that is completely self-funded; and they are always actively seeking skilled equestrians that aspire to the highest levels and exhibit a strong desire to serve their community by volunteering with the Sheriff’s Mounted Posse.

Cadet Program The Sheriff’s Office has an exciting youth program for those between the ages of 15 and 21; whereby each person will have the opportunity to learn a variety of skills and participate in several activities in and outside of Yamhill County. The Cadet Program is self-funded, raising funds through traffic and/or crowd control at various events; to include selling Christmas trees.

Search and Rescue The purpose of Search and Rescue (SAR) is to assist in various types of searches, community programs and projects, and being generally available to assist the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office and other county agencies in case of emergencies. A team of volunteers that consist of community members from Yamhill, Washington, Marion and Polk counties consisting of the following expertise: trained searchers, K9 search teams, ARES, mounted search teams, and air support. New recruits must pass the Training Academy held annually, which is certified by the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association (OSSA) and consists of over 60 hours of training. Additionally, all SAR members are required to maintain current first aid and CPR certifications; however some members have also attained advanced ratings and standing as First Responders, EMT Basic, and Paramedics.

Volunteer Response Unit The Volunteer Response Unit (VRU), upon request of the Sheriff’s Office, responds to crime scenes in order to assist with securing the integrity of that crime scene and any other tasks as assigned. High focus on community policing is performed during the summer with park patrols, National Night Out, and Halloween patrols that help create and maintain a close relationship with the community. Additionally, VRU places the radar trailer in various points throughout contract cities in order to promote motorist safety. VRU members also presents educational public awareness displays at many community events with annual attendance at the Yamhill County Fair & Rodeo, Phil Sheridan Days, Juliette’s House Kid Safety Fair, and McMinnville’s Antique Air Show. The VRU is a non-profit self-funded organization through various security details and donations with the primary goal of helping the community.

ARES The Amateur Radio Emergency Service consists of licensed amateur radio operators who volunteer their experience and equipment for communication in the public service when any disaster strikes Yamhill County and surrounding areas.

All volunteers are required to submit an application and are subject to background check; thus ensuring that the standards, values and integrity of the Sheriff’s Office are upheld in maintaining the “Excellence in Service” provided to the citizens of Yamhill County.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS

Page 44

Annual Report

Sheriff’s Mounted Posse The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse is the oldest volunteer group, and it is the second oldest mounted posse in the State of Oregon. The spirit of service that is exemplified by the members of the posse is self-evident by its Mission Statement: “It is the Mission of the Yamhill County Mounted Sheriff’s Posse to represent the people of Yamhill County and the Yamhill County Sheriff through volunteer Public service; to project and encourage and environment of trust, security and civic involvement; and to promote skillful, safe and effective horsemanship.” In 2009 there were 11 active members, to include Sheriff Crabtree, 5 participating lifetime members, and 10 non-participating members. Activities that the posse participated in include the following:

Juliette’s House Safety Fair Cold Stone Creamery Fundraiser Yamhill County Historical Society Harvest Fest (parking detail) Pendleton Round-Up Parade Shodeo (Oregon Association of Mounted Posse’s event) McMinnville Christmas Parade Various summer parades throughout the county

The posse trains constantly throughout the year, which includes but is not limited to the ability to successfully navigate obstacles, horsemanship skills that involve working with the horse in desensitizing it to sounds, motions, objects, and people; as well as on-the street encounters and occasional crowd control. Additionally, for those members who carry a firearm while in uniform, they must qualify quarterly during firearm certification with Sheriff’s Office personnel. In April the posse assisted the Sheriff’s Office in the seizure of neglected horses from property located in Grand Ronde; which required the catch and transportation of 15 horses for holding and subsequent medical care. The upcoming anticipated event for 2010 that the posse will participate in is the Horsemanship Challenge; which is a trail type competition being held at the Yamhill County Fairgrounds July 10th and 11th.

The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office encourages the involvement of the youth in our community by becoming active members in our Cadet Program. Those between the ages of 15 and 21 who have an interest in a career in law enforcement are sought and recruited into the program; which is open to male and female candidates. The coordinator of the Cadet Program is not only a Patrol Deputy, but also a School Resource Officer as well. In addition to facilitating this program, this deputy overseas the background checks, interviews and joint approval with Sheriff Crabtree of each potential candidate. After completing a six month probation period and demonstrating the required skill set to advance in the Cadet Program, the Sheriff’s Office issues a uniform paid from cadet accounts. During their experience in the Cadet Program, each participant receives practical experience through volunteer service in various departments and divisions within the Sheriff's Office. As volunteers, cadets do not receive a salary; however they are covered under workman’s compensation insurance. Additionally, the program itself is funded through honorary reimbursements, or stipends, by sponsors of events that the cadets provide assistance for. Examples of such events include but are not limited to the commencement ceremony at Linfield College, the Yamhill County Fair and Rodeo; and traffic and crowd control during Oktoberfest in Mt. Angel. The Cadet program was rather successful during 2009, not only in the number of cadets, but also the processes we have made to enrich this program and continue to grow. During the year we had an average of 10 cadets in the program, and by years end there were nearly 20. This is a great improvement from prior years were we only had anywhere from 5-10 cadets. In 2009 there was more than 1,516 hours that were devoted to the Sheriff’s Office in a variety of functions and details. These hours were all voluntary with the cadets having been available in a moments notice.

Applications have been increasing and we expect 2010 to be one of the best years yet. As a result, the cadet unit has added an additional advisor due to the growing number of members in the program. Some of the functions that the cadets assist with include the Yamhill County Fair booth, assisting with traffic control at the Linfield Graduation and during Mt Angel’s Oktoberfest. The cadets received a significant amount of compensation from working at Oktoberfest, which will all be used to assist in the purchase of equipment and training. One of our most recent success story is Christina Eastman, who has been with the Sheriff’s Office since she was in the Cadet Program. During the summer of 2009 she was the first cadet to have worked on the Marine Patrol; and has expressed a desire to continue that experience again in 2010. Meanwhile she was hired as a Records Reserve in the Jail, and has demonstrated the desire and ability to some day make a great deputy with the Sheriff’s Office.

In 2009, we had 64 jail volunteers listed who donated more than 700 hours of their time in programs covering religious services, alcohol and dependency services, budget classes, and general education. Volunteers from several local community churches facilitate religious services of the various denominations of inmates; and the McMinnville School District provides two teachers for the Individual Education Program, whereby inmates who have not graduated from high school have an opportunity to obtain their General Education Degree (G.E.D.) during their incarceration. The following groups and organizations provide volunteers in facilitating their respective services to inmates seeking those services: AA-Inside Hope, Abundant Life, Bethel Baptist Church, Calvary Chapel, Celebrate Recovery, Gideons, Nazarene, Jehovah Witness, McMinnville School District, Narcotics Anonymous, Potter’s House, and Set Free. Jail volunteers provide an invaluable service not only to the inmates who seek their services, but also the community as well. For those inmates with substance abuse issues, organizations like AA and Narcotics Anonymous provide the education and resources helpful to an inmate’s recovery from their substance addiction. Religious services are provided to those inmates either seeking or furthering their faith; which provides a measure of direction and potential to empower them to be in a better position to help themselves during and after their incarceration. Inmates who have not obtained their high school degree have the opportunity to take courses and earn credits towards earning their G.E.D. with the Individual Education Program. All the services, education, and resources provided by the various jail volunteers demonstrates to inmates that their rehabilitation and reintegration back into the community matters. Their success is all of our success with reduced recidivism rates among those inmates who receive the services provided by the jail volunteers.

Annual Report

The Sheriff’s Office continues in its good fortu-nate with the spirit and interest of citizens from the community sharing their experiences and time in a mutually beneficial relationship. Our Administrative Volunteers assist the Sheriff’s Office in a multifac-eted capacity.

Each year the Sheriff’s Office averages approxi-mately 26,000 calls for service, 2,600 citations, and collects an insurmountable amount of evidence. In an effort to minimize costs and space, the Sheriff’s Office has two volunteers that assist with digitally scanning cases that are to be archived under re-cords retention laws. While this process takes hun-dreds of man hours, it makes accessing these re-cords easier for not only our own staff, but other criminal justice agencies as well.

In addition to scanning and filing documents for records and the evidence technician, they also as-sist the Sheriff’s Office with recruitment scheduling, presentation display setup, and record searches.

Administration volunteers provide not only an im-portant service to the Sheriff’s Office, but they also save the county taxpayers several thousands of dollars. For example, one volunteer donated 617 hours of their time in 2009; which translates to a savings of $10,994.84 under the Federal Volunteer Rate of $17.82 (which includes the minimum wage in addition to the added benefits).

Jail Volunteers

The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue is a volunteer-based program under the command of the Sheriff. This well trained group

consists of approximately 70 volunteers.

The call to assemble our team can come at any time

day or night, in all weather conditions, to expedite a search or a rescue with the possibility of someone's life on the line. Someone has reported a friend or family member missing, and all you have to go on is the place last seen, a map, and the talent and experience of our team.

These searches can be conducted over rugged territory in extreme conditions, but our SAR volunteers and their families have shown time again that they are committed to the selfless volunteerism this program demands.

SAR performs wilderness and Urban Search and Rescue, downed aircraft searches; lost person, child, Alzheimer's and Autistic searches, as well as assisting in searching crime scene for additional evidence.

In addition to our search and rescue missions, we have a mission of preventative search and rescue. The majority of our searches are in Yamhill County, but through our mutual aid agreements, we do respond to requests from other agencies to assist them with searches within their respective counties. This group is made up of volunteers dedicated to serving Yamhill County, many coming from various walks of life and also a part of other volunteer teams; such as a Special K-9 Team, VRU, and Civil Air Patrol.

2009 Citizen / Volunteer Academy Graduates

Page 50

Annual Report

On the evening of November 10, 2009 the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office held a graduation and swearing in ceremony of the fall 2009 Citizen/Volunteer Acad-emy. Over the ten weeks course, there was an average of 19 participants during each class; with a total of 23 participants in all by the end of the Academy course.

“The goal of this Citizen’s Academy is to ensure a high level of transparency of the working operations of your Sheriff’s Office. I am honored and humbled by those who give their time to support public safety in Yamhill County. I look forward to another very success-ful academy in the spring,” stated Sheriff Jack Crabtree. It also gave our staff the opportunity to inform the public about Senate Bill 111-Use of Deadly Physical Force implementation by Law Enforcement Officers, and its importance, not only our organization, but law enforce-ment agencies as a whole.

The participants were citizens from various communi-ties of Yamhill County: Amity (2), Carlton (1), Dundee (1), McMinnville (11), Newberg (5), Sheridan (1), and Willamina (2).

There were 4 participants in particular that maintained perfect attendance throughout the Academy: John Cornwell, Kathy Hoffman, Lawrence Rotondi II, and Paula Terp. Kathy says, “Everyday was an eye open-ing experience to a vast array of duties that the Sheriff’s Office performs and the high standards that they em-body and expect of their volunteers. Each class was extremely interesting and life enhancing. I was sur-prised at how much the S.O. relies on their volunteers and the level of community involvement they encour-age.”

The following 18 participants received graduation cer-tificates: Anthony Veith (Cadet), Aurelia Rico (Cadet), Carrie Brandt (Posse), Celia Morales (Cadet), Edward Schmid (VRU), Jenny Goodman (ARES), John Cornwell, Jorge Oliveros (Cadet), Kathy Hoffman,

Lawrence Rotondi II, Leo Read (VRU), Linda Shewchuk, Mike Brandt, Mike Fite (Cadet), Paula Terp (ARES), Ray Horowitz, Steven Brown (Cadet), and Thomas Clayton. Jorge Oliveros stated, “It’s definitely worth the time to go through all of the classes. I learned new things about the Sheriff’s Office, met lots of new people and was able to feel connected to the law enforcement com-munity.”

The following 5 participants received participation certificates: Bob McCallum, Cindy Bailey, Emilia Lozano-Barragan, Nic Morrisey (cadet), and Ross Eells. Mr. Eells is the GED teacher in the Jail and this is what he had to say, “The Citizens’ Academy allowed me to see the duties, responsibilities and services provided by the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office. I also became aware of the number of vol-unteers who contribute to the running of the office.” We have encouraged each and every one of them to return and attend the next academy in complet-ing the course and graduating.

As a result of taking the courses of the academy, 7 participants made the decision to become volun-teers within our organization: John Cornwell (VRU), Kathy Hoffman (Admin), Lawrence Rotondi II (VRU), Linda Shewchuk (VRU), Mike Brandt (Posse & VRU), Ray Horowitz (VRU), and Thomas Clayton (Cadet).

The Sheriff’s Office is very excited about the number of participants this year and has already begun preparations for another academy in the spring of 2010. Classes will begin on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at 6 p.m. If you or someone you know would like to participate and learn more about the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office Academy, just call and ask for the Volunteer Coordinator and she will assist you.

“Before all else fails…” ARES is a group of professionally trained and dedicated Amateur Radio Operators with a mission to provide emergency communication resources to our respective communities.

This group goes a step beyond amateur radio in working to support the agencies they provide their valuable services to. Their goal is to maintain communications in an emergency or disaster when normal commercial services are “overloaded” or “out of service.” As such, the members of ARES continually strive to improve upon their services with training and acquisition of effective equipment; thereby always maintaining a continual state of readiness when called upon, even in a moments notice.

In 2009, ARES volunteers donated 1,434 hours from a combined total number of 17 members.

Many hours logged during the training, installation and testing of the brand new amateur radio gear now in full operation at the County EOC.

This station features HF/VHF/UHF voice and data communications. This equipment is a result of a grant put together from our State Governor’s Office. We can support local, state and worldwide communications with this station.

Our unit received 'Advanced Certification' status from the Oregon Section ARES/RACES. This award was presented to the group for greatly exceeding all standards of the ARES/RACES program. This was achieved from a lot of hard work and dedication from the entire unit under the leadership of Todd Terp EC - YCARES 2008/2009.

Unit training is based on "Train the Trainer" and "Continuous Improvement". We have participated in the 'Cascadia Peril' table top, SAR field exercise and a county health exercise. We are pleased to be included in these exercises and look forward to helping out when and where we are requested.

Thank you to all of those that have helped us during this past year!

Yamhill County Communications (YCOM) is the primary answering and dispatch service for emergency and non-emergency calls for all of Yamhill County. With the exception of the Newberg-Dundee Police Department, which has its own dispatch communications center; the Sheriff’s Office, five municipal police departments, nine fire departments, and three emergency medical service districts, communications are covered through YCOM. Additionally, YCOM also provides a TDD phone system for the hearing impaired and 24 hour language interpretative line for primarily non-English speaking members of the community. These services provide assistance to dispatchers in an effort to facilitate prompt and attentive emergency services to all residents of Yamhill County. At the north end of the county lay the cities of Newberg and Dundee, which combined its law enforcement effort to form the Newberg-Dundee Police Department. Though they are within the county, at present they have their own dispatch center located in the Newberg Public Safety building.

In 2009, YCOM entered 79,646 incidents into CAD; received 29,612 emergency (9-1-1) telephone calls; answered 75,747 non-emergency (business) telephone calls; and made 40,372 outgoing calls. Emergency Communications Specialist Rachel Heidt was honored with the distinguished Lifesaver Award by the Oregon Chapter of APCO-VENA during a Conference that took place in Bend, Oregon in October. Utilizing her experience and knowledge, she received a call from a suicidal male while he was driving his vehicle at a high rate of speed. During the call she successfully persuaded the caller to pull over and toss his keys out the window, assuring the caller that the responding deputies were there to help him. The Lifesaver Award statement read as follows: “In special recognition of your outstanding performance in keeping the caller, officers, and the public safe during the police pursuit on April 9, 2008.”

In the Field: Crisis Intervention Training in addition to specific education that will enable deputies to better identify an individual as a veteran; and recognize certain behavioral characteristics of combat related trauma. As a result, the interactions between law enforcement personnel and veterans in the field would serve to make the veteran feel more at ease rather than ambivalent with or without exaggerated reactive responses. Thus preventing any potential flashbacks that may result in an exaggerated hypervigilant response indicative of the survival instinct that they were accustomed to being in a combat theater of operations. In the Jail: A Veteran’s Liaison position has been established within the jail and assumed by a Corrections Deputy who is also a veteran. This deputy will act as a low-level mentor in identifying and contacting veterans within the jail; answering questions about benefits, providing materials explaining those benefits (as provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs), and encouraging contact between the incarcerated veteran and a veteran’s service officer from either the county, state and/or federal veteran’s agencies in obtaining benefits upon their release. In the Office: Regarding deputies who have served in the Oregon National Guard or Reserves and subsequently return from deployment, specific policies and procedures are being established to assist in their successful transition and reintegration into their full time law enforcement role within the Sheriff’s Office. Examples of those policies and procedures include updating the deputy on new case laws or polices of the Office; refresher training on any new equipment; firearms qualification; and refresher driver training aiding the deputy in readjusting from driving in Iraq to that of being back in the United States.

Oregon & Yamhill County Veterans

Annual Report

In May 2009, over 2,700 Oregon National Guard and Reserve soldiers were deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Upon their return from a year long deployment, many will find that life for

them has undoubtedly changed due to their experiences overseas. Since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken place, there have been several studies and statistics collated by various organizations (e.g. The Rand Corporation) on the affects of multiple deployments and combat stressors upon today’s veterans. The results show that when they return they experience several difficulties that include but are not limited to the following: strained marriages, financial problems due to a loss of income when the soldier deploys, homelessness, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, and the obvious stress of physical and invisible combat wounds. These aforementioned issues have a tendency to create difficulties for a soldier’s transition and reintegration back into their civilian life more difficult. For some veterans it may result in substance abuse and other illicit behaviors, especially if they are experiencing problems obtaining health care and compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs. As a result, these veterans may come into contact with law enforcement and enter the criminal justice system. Recognizing these foregoing facts, the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office has conducted research in preparation of taking a new approach to today’s Oregon and Yamhill County veterans; especially those returning in April 2010. As such, the Sheriff’s Office will be focusing on three particular areas:

Page 54

Benefits Though benefits are limited while a veteran is incarcerated, upon release you are entitled to the following: Vocational Rehabilitation for disabled veterans

seeking education advancement for employment. Education & Training through the GI Bill,

Reserve Educational Assistance Program, and State programs.

Employment Assistance Help with seeking and preparing for employment.

High School Diploma A school may issue diplomas to veterans who did not graduate from high school because of military service.

Health Care at VA Medical Facilities for qualified veterans, to include counseling services.

Housing Assistance Obtaining temporary or long-term housing, to include home loan assistance at the state and federal level.

Compensation for Service connected injuries or ailments.

Pension for wartime veterans with limited income, permanently and totally disabled, or at least 65 years old.

Emergency Funds Assistance to veterans and their immediate families who are in need of immediate financial assistance.

Conservatorship Estate management for certain Veterans and dependents.

Public and Military Records Help in obtaining copies of records necessary for benefit claims.

For help or questions regarding Veterans’ benefits, contact your YCCF Veterans’ Representative

Annual Report

Mission Statement: It is the goal of the Yamhill County Corrections Facility (YCCF) to establish a Veteran’s Representative position that will provide low-level mentoring in answering questions, obtaining materials and contact information regarding state and federal benefits to inmates who are veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. These benefits, when obtained, will minimize certain outside social and economic pressures, thereby reducing or preventing future incarceration. Awareness Veterans of the US Armed Services are entitled to certain benefits as a result of their honorable service to this country. In an achieving our overall Mission, the YCCF Veterans’ Representative will be available to assist incarcerated veterans in obtaining the necessary information and contacts that will be needed upon release in applying for state and federal benefits. Since the laws covering veterans’ health care, disability compensation and pension, education and other benefits are very complex, you are encouraged to seek the assistance of county, state and/or federal veterans’ service organizations in applying for those benefits. As such, the YCCF Veterans’ Representative will be working with county, state, and federal veterans’ service organizations with the intent and purpose of assisting incarcerated veterans with important benefits material and contact information that will assist the veteran in applying for or reactivating full benefits when released from incarceration.

In 2009, the Sheriff’s Office started “Shop-with-a-Cop” to give economically disadvantaged kids throughout the county not only a positive law en-forcement experience; but also the chance to spend a $25.00 gift card at Wal-Mart on anything they choose. Soliciting local service organizations and in-forming the public in an article published in McMinnville’s News-Register, the Sheriff’s Office received a rather large response with several generous tax deductible donations. As a result, more than 183 children participated in this event that included Sheriff Crabtree and several deputies, as well as several officers from Carlton, McMinnville, Newberg, Yamhill and the Oregon State Police.

Last but not least is the Sheriff’s Office 6th Annual Toy Drive, which was a huge success. Not only in the number of gifts that each registered child re-ceived, but in the amount of monies and toys that were donated. One specific generous donation was received from 9 year old Sydney Geelan, who be-gan collecting toys and donations in June 2009.

Annual Report

Page 56

Community Involvement In 2009 the Sheriff’s Office participated in several community and charity events, which included but were not limited to the Yamhill County Fair & Rodeo, Tip-a-Cop Charity with Golden Valley Brew Pub, the Cold Stone Creamery Fundraiser, Back Pack Bud-dies, Kiwanis Teddy Dear Donation, Shop with a Cop at Wal-Mart, and the Sheriff’s Office 6th Annual Toy Drive.

During the 2009 Fair & Rodeo, themed “Sunshine Days & Country Ways,” fairgoers had the opportunity to “Dunk-A-Deputy” in support of the Sheriff’s Office annual toy drive.

Sheriff’s deputies received a teddy bear donation provided by the Walnut City Kiwanis Club. These teddy bears are collected throughout the year and then handed out to children during the McMinnville Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Then in December the patrol captain, sergeant, and a couple deputies assisted YCAP at Washcher Elementary School in Lafayette, and Edwards Ele-mentary School in Newberg handing out food as a part of the “Backpack Buddy” program. Not only is this a worthwhile cause in providing food assistance to local school children; but it is also an excellent op-portunity for deputies to interact with younger school children.

Annual Report

“Sydney decided that she wanted to become involved in helping underprivileged children,” Sheriff Crabtree said. “She began collecting donations from neighbors and friends, and then purchased the toys herself.”

In addition to Sydney donating more than $600 in toys, the Sheriff’s Office received hundreds of dollars in more toys and cash donations. Gifts donated in 2008 provided over 233 children with something special for Christmas; in 2009 more than 310 children received not one, but two or more gifts personally delivered by deputies throughout the county. Adding further Sheriff Crabtree stated that, “when a child comes into contact with a Sheriff’s deputy, it is usually because of an unpleasant situation and our staff makes every effort to leave a positive impression on their lives. This program gives our staff and volunteers the opportunity to deliver a little positive spirit and joy to the children who are submitted, and hopefully give them a positive memory they will never forget.” “I would personally like to thank everyone who has contributed to this important project over the past five years,” Sheriff Crabtree said. “Your gifts have made a life long impact on these children’s lives and help the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office make a difference within our community.”

Search And Rescue Report for 2009

SAR once again had a busy year ,but the emphasis in 2009 was on organizational changes and internal improvements and updates more than searches.

We are now reporting to Sgt. Steve Warden, a great supporter of Search And Rescue and our volunteer efforts. I believe this is a very promising move forward for all of us and we look forward to working with Sgt. Warden in the future.

In addition to Deputy Wellborn and his great wealth of knowledge and solid leadership, two new Deputies were assigned duties with the SAR team. Deputy Ca-sey and Deputy Higginson have been great additions to the team. Their professionalism and efforts will clearly add to the already solid direction and guidance provided by Deputy Wellborn. We hope Tim and Dan will be able to attend Search And Rescue courses in 2010 so that we will be able to better cover in case of Ron being unavailable.

We had 18 call out events in 2009. Two reported yet not confirmed bodies off Rogers Landing, one in March and the other in October failed to turn up bod-ies, despite the efforts of our teams and Dogs and Divers. We had three Project Lifesaver International searches, two that actually went on the books and the other was a find without equipment. The two finds we did have definitely proven that the system works and saves money , time and effort. These were the only call outs in Yamhill County in 2009. The other events during the year were in support of Washington, Tilla-mook, Polk, Linn and Benton Counties. Our profes-sionalism, efficiency and willingness to respond are well known to our peers.

The key numbers that we love to tell about 5791.36 hours were put in by SAR members in 2009. That is 723.92 eight hour days or 144.784 forty hour work weeks. These numbers need little emphasis as they stand alone quite well.

The Academy was once again a major endeavor on our part with 600 hours effort put into it by Instructors and Support members. Students put in 1292 hours of attendance. These are hours put in by people already working 40 hour a week jobs. This is spare time vol-unteer hours given by people dedicated to giving to

their community. The phrase “That others may live” is not taken lightly and it comes at a price.

A major milestone in Search Management was achieved this year with the application of Technology during a search that had not been used in Northwest Oregon, possibly all of Oregon, up to this point in time. Setting GPS units to track the trails taken by the Ground teams, Dog teams, ATV Teams and even the National Guard Helicopter and then loading the tracks to terrain mapping software on our PC, was put into action for the first time. Our staff was able to sort out, for Polk County in this case; exactly where the teams traveled on each of the days they went out day by day and lay out the information over the map of the sub-ject search area. This was the first time we were able to prove exactly where teams had searched. This was the first application of technology to prove “Probability of Detection”. This was an amazing leap forward for Search And Rescue in our County and all those Counties who count on us to help them. Congratula-tions Lonnie.

We even participated in the State Civil Air Patrol exercise this year, placing material representing a downed aircraft in the deep Poison Oak infested fields between McMinnville and Sheridan, as a target for CAP to locate and for them to coordinate a Coast Guard Helicopter rescue operation. The next day one SAR member flew with another team and demon-strated the value of ground mapping knowledge as they attempted to over fly the “crash site” and photo-graph it. His SAR knowledge came in handy. This was an opportunity for close coordination between YCSAR and CAP and a merging of experience for a common goal.

The Board of Directors began the year with three Goals. Purchase summer uniform shirts, Create and give a course on Leadership Training and the task of completing the Trailer. We successfully achieved our Goals for 2009 and look forward to new challenges in 2010.

We continued our efforts to bring greater efficiency to the SAR Incident Command Trailer in 2009 and have greater plans for improvements in 2010(budget willing). We purchased a new PC and Mapping Soft-ware to load into it. This is the software used in the

Polk County lost Hunter Search. We have moved into wireless Mouse and Key Board and hope to be able to purchase and install a big screen monitor to allow Team Briefing with the big screen to support a larger view of team assignments. Using a projected picture is almost impossible in sunlight. We have placed more efforts on organization of existing maps and equipment and restocking of medical kits. We look to improve our ability to shelter searchers in foul weather and bring some warmth with our recently purchased heaters.

Project Lifesaver International had a major mile-stone on the West Coast this year. Due to Deputy Welborn’s efforts and Sheriff Crabtree’s support, we have become the sixth Certified Airborne PLI training center in the country and the only one west of the Mississippi. Interest continues to increase in other Counties in the State and we’ve had interest for support from Washington State as well. Our State Coordinator has his hands full and a lot of eager people ready to help. We gave a class on PLI at the State SAR CON in Welches this year and it was very well received. Dep-uty Wellborn was ill at class time and was missed but two of us filled in for him, demonstrating the group’s flexibility and willingness to meet commitments.

In our County we had our first and second real PLI find this year, raising our confidence in utilizing the equipment and working in conjunction with the Police who always have jurisdiction over the searches. All of the original members were recertified as well this year, keeping everyone on the PLI team up to date and ready to go.

As I mentioned earlier, SAR spent time training in 2009. The SAR Academy for Yamhill and Polk County, trained and certified a total of 22 people. As I stated, there was a tremendous amount of hours and effort spent on supporting the classes. The leadership from Keith Fritz and Doug Cummins in particular was inspiring.

We also put on a Team Leader training class over a couple of weekends for both Yamhill and Polk Coun-ties. The class was put together by Doug and Keith and was very well received.

Polk County and Yamhill County both work quite well together and our familiarity with each other’s programs and volunteers benefits both Counties at the same time. Our Overhead team and their over-head team can and has worked as one quite the ac-complishment. In addition to Search And Rescue directed efforts, we have been highly supportive of the Sheriff directed and community requested events during the year. We had particularly solid support for the County Fair, with some personnel spending days at the Fair and many providing security support for the concerts. We also supported the Cold Stone Creamery event, the Antique Fly-In (which could have been a boat show considering the amount of water) and the always exciting Santa Parade in McMinnville. Our participa-tion this year has been commendable considering the changing landscape of the working world and em-ployer’s reluctance to let people respond to call outs and non SAR related events. Everyone does what they can when they can—i.e. Team work. Overall for 2009, the SAR Board of Directors, those appointed to positions and all our SAR members, had a very fruitful and busy year. I believe we have made use of the time we have not had call outs and are better prepared for when the call does come. We re-main dedicated to the tasks of keeping Yamhill County SAR an energized, educated and well versed group of team oriented volunteers. We know very well that none of this happens with-out the continued support of the Sheriff and his staff, and we appreciate the opportunity to serve.

Submitted respectfully;

Annual Report

VRU Annual Presidential Report for 2009

In January of 2009, the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office volunteer unit and its board officers foresaw a busy year. Big opportunities were planned for the VRU. A volunteer academy brought hope for increased membership. Re-introduction of the radar trailer program would help with traffic concerns by Yamhill County citizens. Volunteer ride-along opportu-nities were encouraged. As requested by some of the membership, training sessions were incorporated in monthly business meetings. As well as assisting in public relations by displaying educational awareness booths at community events. Our morning call program still goes strong. Behind the efforts of this – Volunteer Carol Stowell. This important program gives local citizen’s peace of mind knowing that their elderly loved ones have someone checking on them every day. She has a list of citizens that she checks up on daily. By a simple morning phone call, Carol can find out if a member of her “second family” is in need of anything that they can’t obtain on their own. If in the event that a person is in need, she has a list of resources to pull from to see that the mission is fulfilled. At least three or more days a week another impor-tant volunteer provides administrative support at the Sheriff’s Office. She assists with data entry, filing, copying and many other projects that help the office. Volunteer Karen Belt has been a volunteer icon for years and she deserves a lot of credit. Other adminis-trative volunteers provide countless hours for the of-fice as well. Lucienne Poff and Mary Errand are two other essential members of our team that have been vital with administrative efforts in the office.

An asset to our Sheriff’s Office, Bruce Douglas was appointed by the volunteer board as VRU Member At Large in August. He has been an exceptional resource to our group and others at the Sheriff’s Office. Always ready and happy to help, he’s only seconds away. All of our members were fabulous in their contributions, but a few stood out in 09. Our field response members were tremendous in participating in community events and security details. VRU members also assisted with evidence transport, middle school dances, drug raid recoveries and traffic surveys. This year members updated the Volunteer Response Van with event and crime scene equip-ment. Our volunteers got together for social meetings throughout the year. In May, we met at Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream for a fundraiser. And as we do every year, we enjoyed ourselves at our annual Christmas social in December. Throughout the year, our volunteer group conducted 31 community event/security details, 7 Sheriff’s Office requested activations, 33 other volunteer details and offered members 11 training opportunities. Our volunteers offered nearly 2300 hours of their time. A citizen/volunteer academy in September introduced citizens to an in-depth look into law en-forcement at its finest. Instructed by employees and volunteer leaders of the Sheriff’s Office, the curricu-lum introduced people to the day to day challenges and rewards of working with the Sheriff’s Office. Many volunteers were gained from this academy and we were very happy to adopt them into our team. On April 25th, during a community volunteer fair at the McMinnville Community Center we had the pleas-ure of meeting a citizen named Charles Whitney. Mr. Whitney was driving by the community center on Ev-ans Street and noticed our event trailer outside of the Sheriff’s Office. He told us that he decided to drive to his new home in McMinnville and return to provide us his wife’s entire collection of TY brand teddy bears. Mr. Whitney informed us that his wife had recently passed away. She had cherished the collection that he was giving to us to share with kids in Yamhill County. It was quite obvious that it was emotionally difficult for him to talk about the loss of his wife.

We informed him that the bears would help many kids during crisis situations and provide happiness at parade events during the holiday season. He was very happy to know that what made his wife happy in her life would soon make another child happy too. We were touched by Mr. Whitney’s story and generous donation of something so close to his lost wife.

Members of our volunteer group have experienced great opportunities and faced challenging personal endeavors in 2009. Even so, we still gave our best. Our goal as volunteers of the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office is to simply offer our assistance. We volunteer for the communities we live in. It is imperative that our volunteer group members understand that they all are very important. The little conversations and time you spend with citizens while representing the Sheriff’s Office really can make a difference. Thank you.

Volunteer Response Unit members are excited for 2010. Many more opportunities shall soon come. Another citizen/volunteer academy is on its way. The busy community event season will begin within the next month. We hope to see you around.

Submitted respectfully,

Jeff Breland
