Jail Administrator Recognized By State

Lt. Stewart Harp, Umatilla County Jail Administrator, 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 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
January 21st.
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 medical costs.
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.
