The Morrow County Sheriff's Office appreciates the U m atilla Police D e partment, Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office, Hermiston Police Department, and the Morrow County S h eriff’s O ffice C o m m u n icatio n s Center for their efforts in this case. “These cases only re-enforce what we already know, and that is that law en forcement is a team effort,” says U ndersheriff Myren. “ In this case, each entity contributed something to the investigation. In one case, an agency had a last known address that led to a vacant house. However, the land lord o f that vacant house had additional information that led another direction.” Undersheriff Myren contin ued, “While there are those law enforcem ent officers and agencies that tend to try and handle cases with very little external input or as sistance, we feel that multi agency problem solving is far more productive in the long run.” MC Health Department calendar p.m. p.m. p.m. p.m. p.m. p.m. p.m. p.m. p.m. p.m. Thursday, Dec. 6 - Heppner Clinic 8:30 a.m.- 4:30 (closed 12-1) Monday, Dec.
