Umatilla acquires 27 acres of land
By HERMISTON HERALD
The city of Umatilla
added 27 acres to its inven-
tory when the city council
agreed to acquire a prop-
erty at a meeting last week.
The property is at the
corner of Highway 730
and Highway 395 and was
acquired from Hermiston
Power Partnership, a sub-
sidiary of Calpine Corp. a
power plant operator.
The company had been
making mitigation pay-
ments, which average
not what our job is. We’re to
go out and look for crime.”
Boardman police and
most other agencies in Uma-
tilla and Morrow coun-
ties rely on the same police
records management sys-
tem, Sun Ridge Inc., which
is creating software to help
agencies gather the data.
Stokoe said Boardman
police will start in as soon as
the software clicks.
Pendleton Police Chief
Stuart Roberts said habit-
ual offenders raise another
red flag. Pendleton has some
drivers who are members of
minorities and who receive
multiple traffic citations a
week.
Sentences
to 30 days jail and $100 fine.

ing felony sentences have

The state mandate for
police to collect race and
gender data could lead to a
downturn in some officer
activity.
Local police leaders
expressed that and other
concerns about House Bill
2355, which requires police
to document race and gender
during traffic stops “to iden-
tify patterns or practices of
profiling.” The law kicked
into effect this summer but
the state is giving more time
for smaller departments to
sort out how to gather, store
and submit data.
Hermiston Police Chief
Jason Edmiston said his
department has to start by
July 1, but will roll out the
program in April so officers
have time to learn the sys-
tem. He said he anticipates
at least one side effect.
“I think we’re going to
see a very slight dip in offi-
cer-initiated activity and a
slight dip in traffic stops,”
Edmiston said.
That could lead to police
missing bigger crimes.
Police catching unlawful
activity during stops “hap-
pens all the time,” Edmis-
ton said, but bogging down
a cop in the field with extra
work is likely to lead to
FRIDAY, DEC. 14
2:22 p.m. — There was an
assault at Kennedy Avenue.
2:49 p.m. — Someone
was taking bows off the
Christmas tree on Northeast
Second Street.
backlash to avoid that work.
The chief said that’s just part
of human nature.
The bigger problem,
police said, stems from gath-
ering the data. Officers have
to provide the reason for the
stop and their perceptions at
the moment.
“Just because you per-
ceive somebody to be a male
or female, doesn’t mean
they are male or female,”
Edmiston said. “And when
you perceive race, I think
you are on a slippery slope.”
Boardman Police Chief
Rick Stokoe expressed a
similar concern.
“I don’t want our officers
to guess,” he said. “That’s
“That totally taints your
statistical information,” he
said.
And while the state has
promised to contact agen-
cies when blips arise, Rob-
erts said he found that hard
to believe given the 180 or
so agencies in Oregon.
Data collection is nothing
new for police. Oregon law
requires agencies to report
crime data, which Oregon
State Police sift through
and compile each year into
reports of several hundred
pages to show everything
from the number of murders
in Oregon to officer assaults.
According to state police,
the Oregon Annual Uni-
form Crime Reports have an
error rate of approximately 1
percent.
Yet the 2017 report, the
most recent for a full year,
shows gaps in the 162 agen-
cies it lists. The Harney
County Sheriff’s Office and
University of Oregon Police
Department were among 17
agencies that did not sub-
mit up to six months of data
in time for the 2017 report,
and 25 agencies, often
small and rural, submitted
no data, including the sher-
iff’s offices of Grant, Gil-
liam, Sherman and Wallowa
counties. Race and gender
data could face the same
problems.
