Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 4, 2017 SHOOTING Chamber Chatter -Continued from PAGE ONE Morrow County and Nov. 2016 in Umatilla County and is serving five years of probation, which includes a provision not to possess weapons, firearms or dan- gerous animals Morrow County Sheriff Ken Matlack said Haak has been on leave during the investigation, per the officer-involved shooting plan, which is in the process of review. The plan does not pro- vide a timeframe for when an officer should return to work after a shooting, Matlack said, while most agencies specify a period of 48 or 72 hours. Matlack said the sheriff ’s office is looking to change the period to something like no sooner than 48 hours to create some certainty and line up with other agencies. Haak, of Heppner, was a parole and probation of- ficer in Morrow County until summer 2016, when he moved into a deputy va- cancy at the sheriff’s office. He graduated in January from the basic police course at the Oregon Public Safety Academy, Salem.
