The Deschutes County Commissioners will have a hearing Wednesday on the Grievance of Termination filed by William Bailey, a former Deschutes County Sheriff’s office Captain.

Bailey, who unsuccessfully ran for Sheriff in 2024 against now-former Sheriff Kent van Der Kamp, is filing the administrative appeal against the county’s decision to fire him over comments made in the media by Bailey about Van der Kamp during a 2025 radio interview.

The commissioners have the hearing schedule for 1:30 this afternoon as part of the regular board meeting agenda.

The Commissioners could make a decision whether to uphold Bailey’s termination at the hearing.
