Certifications at risk for local corrections officers By PHIL WRIGHT STAFF WRITER Two corrections offi- cers in Umatilla County’s two state prisons are facing the revocation of their state public safety certifications. The Corrections Pol- icy Committee of the Ore- gon Department of Public Safety Standards and Train- ing in February voted 10-0 to recommend that Hector Torres and Robert Nung- aray lose their corrections certifications for life. The recommendations went up the chain to the Board on Public Safety Stan- dards and Training, which on April 26 approved the recommendations. Eriks Gabliks is the director of Public Safety Standards and Training. He said the policy commit- tee shoulders the work of reviewing cases, and while the board here agreed with the committee, the officers have not lost their certifi- cations. Rather, the depart- ment issued notice to the officers of their rights to a request a hearing to contest the board’s decision. They have 60 days to make that request. “This is in essence a peer review,” Gabliks said, that involves representatives for the officer and the state and culminates with an admin- istrative law judge deciding the case. If an officer does not ask for the review, the depart- ment instead issues its final notice and yanks the certification. Torres in November 1999 started working as an officer for Two Rivers Cor- rectional Institution, Uma- tilla, and resigned in Sep- tember 2015, according the online Oregon Crim- inal Justice Information Records Inquiry System. Nungarary was an officer at Eastern Oregon Correc- tional Institution, Pendle- ton, from July 2015 until he resigned in April 2017. Torres “failed to super- vise an inmate work crew allowing additional felony crimes to be committed,” according to the minutes of the Feb. 13 Corrections Policy Committee meeting. That amounted to “gross misconduct,” the com- mittee found, but Torres’ actions also involved the “misuse of authority” and dishonesty for changing the time on logs to try to cover up his failure, only to later admit to the falsifications. The department in April found Torres resigned in lieu of termination. TRCI spokeswoman Sherry Iles confirmed Torres’ dates of employment but did not have information about his case. Nungaray of Ontario in 2016 pleaded guilty in Malheur County to driv- ing under the influence of intoxicants, accord- ing to the committee meet- ing minutes and state court records, and entered into a diversion program. But he was arrested on July 5, 2017, for DUII. The court revoked his diversion and he pleaded guilty to the two DUIIs. The Corrections Policy Committee found he committed gross miscon- duct for the offenses and “when he failed to take a breathalyzer test and when he switched vehicle license plates.” The Corrections Pol- icy Committee at its meet- ing May 8 looked at two more corrections officers at the Pendleton prison. Gabliks said the commit- tee wants more informa- tion before taking action on Mario Lagao, and the committee voted to rec- ommended denying Tyler Beers’ certification for 10 years for gross misconduct. State court records show Lagao in October pleaded guilty in Umatilla County to driving while suspended or revoked, but state courts show no criminal cases for Beers. Gabliks said the meeting minutes detailing their cases soon would be public. He also said the depart- ment is serious about hold- ing officers accountable.
