The Oregon Sheriff's Association board permanently expels the Deschutes County Sheriff. This follows the Deschutes County District Attorney classifying Sheriff Kent van der Kamp as an unreliable witness. Van der Kamp was notified the OSSA board would address his status, but chose not to appear or provide a written statement on his own behalf. In what could be another blow to van der Kamp's ability to lead his Sheriff's department, the state law enforcement licensing body meets Thursday to discuss their own investigation.
