PENDLETON — The
Umatilla County Sher-
iff’s Office gave its online
jail roster a cleansing – the
mugshots of inmates are
gone from the page.
“In accordance with
House Bill 3273, the Umatilla
County Sheriff’s Office will
no longer be publishing
booking photos on the jail
roster or with press releases
on social media,” the sher-
iff’s office announced in a
press release Wednesday,
Dec. 29. “This legislation
prohibits law enforcement
agencies from releasing
booking photos except in
specified circumstances.”
According to the sheriff’s
office, the circumstances are
1) To the person depicted
in the booking photo.
2) To another law
enforcement agency, or to
a law enforcement officer
employed by another law
enforcement agency, for a
law enforcement purpose.
3) To the public, if the law
enforcement agency deter-
mines that there is a law
enforcement purpose for the
release, including but not
limited to assistance with
the apprehension of a fugi-
tive or a suspect in a criminal
investigation, or the identifi-
cation of additional criminal
activity.
4) To a state mental hospi-
tal upon the admission to
the hospital of the person
depicted in the booking
photo.
5) To a party in a criminal
proceeding resulting from

the arrest during which the
booking photo was obtained.
6) To the victim of the
offense for which the person
depicted in the booking
photo was arrested.
7) Upon the conviction
of the person depicted in the
booking photo, if the convic-
tion results from the arrest
during which the booking
photo was obtained.
The sheriff’s office posted
on its Facebook page about
the change, and that has
drawn more than a hundred
comments.
One poster stated: “Good.
Photos are posted before a
person is even convicted. If
you were innocent and your
mug was out there for eter-
nity, I don’t think you’d be
happy about it. Some states
don’t post until someone is
proven guilty, which makes
more sense.”
Another stated, “Consid-
ering the number for
for-profit companies that
abuse these photo-releases,
this is a positive change.”
But others were criti-
cal of the new law, assert-
ing this amounts to
protecting or coddling crim-
inals. Rep. Bobby Levy,
R-Echo, chimed in as well:
“I voted no on this bill.”
She did not explain why.
Levy was one of four
state representatives who
voted against the bill, which
passed in the House 54-4.
It had a tougher time in the
Senate, where it passed
17-13, primarily along party
lines.
The new law goes into
effect Saturday, Jan. 1.
COMMUNITY BRIEFS
Celebrate
Recovery offers
faith-based support
STANFIELD — A faith-
based program launched
several years ago at Stanfield
Baptist Church continues to
provide support to people
that may be struggling.
Based on the 12 steps
of Alcoholics Anonymous,
Celebrate Recovery is a
Christ-centered program
for those dealing with hurts,
pain and a variety of addic-
tions. It started with less
than two dozen attend-
ees in 1991 at a California
church. Since then, more
than 35,000 churches across
the globe offer the ministry
as a way to facilitate healing
through the power of God.
Scott Zielke, associate
pastor of congregational care
at Stanfield Baptist, said the
program provides a path to
healing for everything from
anger and money issues to
sexual addictions and alco-
hol or drug abuse. It centers
around establishing and
nurturing a personal rela-
tionship with Jesus Christ.
T he g roup meet s
