As your Sheriff, my primary focus has always been on fostering a dedicated and highly professional public safety organization. We uphold stringent hiring standards to meticulously assess applicants, aiming to identify any traits inconsistent with the values of a Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy. While our process isn't flawless, nor are all individuals perfect, I hold every member of the Sheriff’s Office to the highest standards.  
  
When a deputy violates their oath or breaches the public's trust, I take swift and decisive action. Upon learning of the incident last Sunday, I immediately engaged the Roseburg Police Department to conduct a thorough investigation. Simultaneously, I placed the employee involved on administrative leave. Today, immediately following his arrest and the completion of the criminal and internal investigation, I have terminated his employment.  
  
It's crucial to recognize that this incident reflects the actions of one individual, not the values of our organization. Each day, the dedicated men and women of the Sheriff’s Office work tirelessly to earn and maintain your trust and respect, even during challenging times.  
  
I am grateful for the prompt and thorough investigation conducted by the Roseburg Police Department.
