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.
