DEPUTIES: Three Sisters deputies have been selected Continued from page 1 a number of foot patrols over the summer, meeting citi- zens and business owners, handing out business cards, and introducing themselves to provide name and face recognition. <We have received an overwhelmingly positive response from the public. We are excited for all of the deputies to be in place by September 12,= Bailey told The Nugget. He indicated that the foot patrols will be part of the deputies9 routine duties. <We want to be more than just the police force. We want to be part of the community,= Bailey said, noting particu- larly the current environment for police across the nation. The other two depu- ties, Michael Hudson and Allie DeMars, are transfer- ring to their new positions in Sisters from other county patrol teams. Deputy Brent Crosswhite, the resource officer for the Sisters School District, has been serving in Sisters this summer and will be patrolling as the <west dis- trict car= outside the Sisters city limits and will also work out of the Sisters substation. — Last Week’s Puzzle Solved — PHOTO BY JASON DARRAH The Green Ridge Fire burned in heavy timber. Additionally, there will be workspace available for the DCSO public information officer when in the area. The interior of the police substation, located in the building on the southwest corner of North Larch and West Barclay Drive, is already looking different, with more workstations in place, a large conference table and chairs, and removal of some excess furniture to open up floor space. A sepa- rate office will provide space for the lieutenant. A new restroom will also be added to the station. Last year, the County purchased that entire building from a local citizen. A covered parking area on the west side of the build- ing will provide protection in the winter for the deputies9 vehicles. Sometime before September 12, the DCSO will be taking delivery of three cars and a pickup truck, all with the DCSO logo and indicating they are Sisters patrol units. Deputies will be on duty seven days a week, with everyone scheduled for Fridays, when they will hold meetings, conduct trainings, and share relevant informa- tion face-to-face. Bailey indicated there will be a public meet-and-greet in the substation parking lot after everyone has arrived and settled in. This Week’s Crossword Sponsors Greg Wieland L.Ac.
