With New Hire Approved, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Will Rejoin Drug Task Force

Douglas County Sheriff Kevin Morris joins Dan Langager on the KOHO Morning Show to talk about the new Law & Justice Building and his office’s 2020 budget.

The Douglas County Board of Commissioners approved a new deputy hire for 2020, which Morris said will allow them to assign a senior officer to the Columbia River Drug Task Force, re-joining all local law enforcement agencies in designating at least once officer to the Task Force. Morris said they’ll start recruitment soon.

Morris said now is the time of year to protect yourself from car prowlers while your car is warming up and from so-called “porch pirates” who steal holiday shipments from homes.

And next week is the annual Shop With A Cop at Hooked On Toys.
