Corrections Facility
The Umatilla County Correctional Facility is a
state-of-the-art
252-bed facility which enables us to maintain a balance
between
protecting the public and providing an environm
ent
that safeguards the
life, health, and safety of staff and inmates.
Our staff must be certified through the State of Oregon and
maintain
40 hours of training per year thereafter. They are highly
motivated
individuals and maintain a safe and secure facility. We have
24
full-time staff that work 12-hour shifts, and 9 support
staff. Our
annual intake and release average is 4,500 inmates. That,
combined with
all our programs, keeps us very busy.

Awards
Jail
Administrator Lieutenant Stewart Harp was awarded the
honor of being
selected as the Jail Commander of the year by the Oregon
State Jail
Command Council. The award was bestowed at the
Oregon State
Sheriff's Association (OSSA) Annual Conference in Bend on
December 10th
2008 and was presented by OSSA President Mitch
Southwick. That
honor was also recognized and acknowledged by the Umatilla
County Board
of Commissioners at a public meeting held in January 2009.
Sheriff Trumbo, in the nomination letter he sent to the Council, "noted that Stewart was selected to his position as Jail Administrator in October of 2007 and immediately made an impact by taking on the challenge of balancing a budget that was severely stressed due to unanticipated expenses from contract negotiations, not to mention increased food and medica
l
costs," stated Sheriff Trumbo.
Lt. Harp has also overcome significant challenges with
hiring and
retaining qualified employees in the jail. "For the
first time in
recent history the Umatilla County Jail is fully staffed
with Certified
Corrections Officers. I think it's fair to say that
the excellent
working environment created, the attention to detail that is
required,
and his support of the line officers has led to the success
we share,"
the Sheriff noted. The letter goes on to say, "In
fact, the staff
is discussing raising our self imposed inmate cap because
they feel
with the quality and attitude of the line staff, they can do
more with
less.
That attitude and quality was tested recently when the Jail lost the services of a 12 year Sergeant and a 30 year veteran who retired, leaving a huge hole in the supervisory ranks. Because Lt. Harp had previously identified the best and brightest, the jail never skipped a beat in the transition," stated the Sheriff.

VINELink
-
Victims Information Network Everyday - VINELink is
an on-line
resource that allows you to search for
information regarding an offender's current custody
status. It is provided by the Oregon
Department of
Corrections and Oregon Department of Justice in
cooperation with the
Oregon Sheriffs' Association and the Oregon Youth
Authority. You may also register to be
notified
automatically when an offender is released, transferred,
escapes, dies
or has a change in parole or probation status. The
Oregon VINE Service
is provided to you in an effort to help keep
the public safe and informed. Do not depend
solely on the
VINE service for your protection. If you feel
that you may
be at risk, take precautions as if the offender has
already been
released.
