Appointments for a concealed handgun license in Dechutes County are being put on hold temporarily.  Sheriff’s Sergeant Jayson Janes says they did it in the name of safety during the pandemic after a department employee tested positive for Covid.  If you already have a future CHL appointment scheduled, Janes says you’ll be notified of the postponement.  He says the department’s currently in the process of looking at other ways to offer the service without compromising public safety.
