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.
