The sheriff's dilemma and the county charter. For the second time in a year, Multnomah County's sheriff is entangled with the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, the state agency that issues certifications to law enforcement officers. A year ago, then- Sheriff Bernie Giusto voluntarily relinquished his police certification before vacating the office to Bob Skipper. With more than two years remaining on Giusto's term in office, Skipper was required to attend the basic police academy because he hadn't worked in the industry since he abruptly left office in 1. Measure 8. When the agency denied his request for a waiver, Skipper turned to the Legislature for rescue. The quick passage of Senate Bill 3. Skipper, exempted him from the academy, provided that he attend a two- week refresher course and pass an open- book test. After attending the short course, Skipper failed his test. Skipper is now scheduled to attend a grueling 1. October. But he may not last that long. Because he failed to obtain his certification within the year required by state law, Skipper may be forced to vacate the office by Nov.

The last six Multnomah County sheriffs have had two things in common. Each was a certified police officer, but none had ever worked a single shift in the county's jails. Yet for fiscal year 2. Fortunately, county voters may have the opportunity to correct that longstanding deficiency next year. For the second time in a year, Multnomah County's sheriff is entangled with the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, the state agency that issues certifications to law enforcement officers. Beginning in September, a bipartisan committee of 1. One proposal the charter review committee will consider would require the county's sheriff to be certified in corrections in addition to any other state requirement. If that's approved by voters, Multnomah County will be the first and only county in Oregon to require its sheriff to be certified in that way. The Oregonian's editorial board noted the emerging corrections function of the Multnomah County sheriff with this observation: . He runs an overcrowded jail- corrections system and diminishing patrol program. Yet the county's charter calls only for a policeman's credentials for the sheriff. That doesn't make sense.
