Sheriff nelson Reviews 2019 Calls Made To His Department

BEND, OR -- Deschutes County sheriff Shane Nelson has reviewed calls received by his department last year. The calls are broken down into three categories… Jail Calls, Use of Force and Patrol Calls.  Nelson says 75-hundred people were booked into jail last year with only 87 instances of Use of Force. He says Corrections had only 6 complaints last year.  Nelson says the Patrol Calls last year were just over 74-thousand with more than half self-initiated by deputies. He says they had 83 Uses of Force and only 17 complaints. The sheriff says some complaints are handled by front line supervisors, but in some cases they’ll turn over complaints to an outside investigator.
