MEETING DATE: June 5, 2024
SUBJECT: Oregon Criminal Justice Commission Deflection Program grant funding and
Resolution No. 2024-033 adding 1.0 FTE Deputy Sheriff, Corrections
RECOMMENDED MOTIONS:
1. Move to authorize the application for the remaining annual funding for the Oregon
Criminal justice Commission Deflection Program grant.
2. Move approval of Resolution No. 2024-033 adding 1.0 Deputy Sheriff, Corrections as
of June 1, 2024.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office is seeking to apply for the remaining $378,336 of
Oregon Criminal Justice Commission's Deflection Program funding.
State of Oregon House Bill (HB) 4002 created a new misdemeanor for possession of a
controlled substance. HB 4002 offers pathways to expungement, dismissal, or no charges
filed, and encourages distract attorneys and law enforcement to divert a person, in lieu of
arrest or prosecution, to a deflection program. A deflection program is a collaborative
effort between law enforcement agencies and behavioral health systems that strives to aid
individuals in receiving treatment, recovery support services, housing, case management,
and/or other services.
On April 17, the Board of County Commissioners gave approval to apply for deflection
funding. The initial application for funding has been awarded and the Sheriff's Office seeks
approval to apply for the second 50% of funding.
The Sheriff's Office intends to use the funding to develop, coordinate and implement a
deflection program with public and community partners, and hire a new 1.0 limited
duration FTE Deflection Program Coordinator. The Deflection Program Coordinator will be
responsible for convening program partners as needed for the operation of the program,
managing grant program funds, and tracking and reporting data required by the Oregon
Criminal Justice Commission, including providing notification that a person has completed
the program to those entities responsible for sealing records. Should funding no longer
support the position, the Sheriffs Office will evaluate whether to absorb the position.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
Estimated additional $378,336 revenue in FY 2025. Expense of 1.0 FTE Deputy Sheriff,
Corrections position to be added to the FY 2025 budget. No adjustment is needed for FY
2024.
