'The whole notion of body
cams is multi-faceted'

will only be a matter of time before
his department has them.
“That whole thing was caught
on a body camera and it’s golden
because you can hear and you can
see what’s going on,” said Garton
of the body camera evidence. “I like
them and I think there is a good use
for them.”
Garton said the other issue is
the technology side of gathering
the footage, which is evidence, and
storing it for different periods of
time depending on the agency the
department is working with. He
said he wonders how the Sheriff’s
Office will not only store every-
thing, but who will be the person to
do the actual redacting of people in
the background.
Garton said the math on how
much footage accumulated can add
up quickly when you are talking
about 20 officers each working 12-
hour shifts and producing 12 hours
of footage per officer per shift.
“I wouldn’t deploy cameras until I
had a policy in place and approved,”
said Garton.
Yamhill County District Attorney
Brad Berry said the day of body
cameras for all law enforcement is
coming if for no other reason than
the recording of statements from
people that officers encounter and
interview.
“The whole notion of body cams
is multi-faceted,” said Berry. “First
and foremost, I think it provides
accountability for the officer and
the agency on the conduct of the
officers. “
Berry said the practical side of us-
ing the footage the officers accumu-
late is something new to his office. He
said most law enforcement agencies
in Yamhill County do not have body-
worn camera technology yet.
“When it comes to my office, we
have an obligation to provide a copy
to the defense so we have to retain
it somehow and we have to provide
it to the defense somehow,” said
Berry. “I would say it’s fair to say
that all of them are talking about it.
Each agency is looking at whether
to do it and if so, what equipment
to use and what is the cost.”
McKnight said he feels it’s time
to move into the future and having
body cameras for Grand Ronde offi-
cers helps him to make that move.
“I think it’s a great thing for the
Tribe and like I said the transpar-
ency that it makes for our police
department – it’s all on camera,”
said McKnight. “So it’s all there.” n

PUBLIC NOTICE
COLUMBIA RIVER SYSTEM OPERATIONS —
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation and Bonneville
Power Administration, referred to as the Action Agencies, intend to
prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on the Columbia
River System operations and configurations for 14 federal projects in
the interior Columbia Basin.
In this Columbia River System Operations EIS, the three agencies
will present a reasonable range of alternatives for long-term system
operations and evaluate the potential environmental and socioeconom-
ic impacts on flood risk management, irrigation, power generation,
navigation, fish and wildlife, cultural resources and recreation. The
Action Agencies will serve as joint-lead agencies in developing the EIS.
Comments received during the public scoping period (Sept. 30, 2016
— Jan. 17, 2017) provides anyone who is interested an opportunity to
help the agencies identify issues and concerns that could be analyzed
in the EIS. The agencies welcome your comments, suggestions and
information that may inform the scope of issues, potential effects, and
range of alternatives that should be evaluated in the EIS. Letters of
comment or inquiry can be submitted to comment@crso.info or ad-
dressed to: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Northwestern Division,
Attn: CRSO EIS, P.O. Box 2870, Portland, Ore. 97208-2870.
