Department of Public Safety Standards and Training Kate Brown, Governor 4190 Aumsville Hwy SE Salem, OR 97317-8983 503-378-2100 http://www.dpsst.state.or.us February 11, 2016 Glenn Palmer, Sheriff Grant County Sheriff’s Office 205 S Humbolt Street Canyon City, OR 97820 Dear Sheriff Palmer: The Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) has received the enclosed complaints alleging misconduct by you, a DPSST-certified officer currently holding the position of Sheriff of Grant County, Oregon. As you know, the DPSST, in conjunction with the Board on Public Safety Standards and Training, is responsible for training and certifying Oregon’s public safety providers, to include private security, private investigators and polygraph examiners. DPSST’s jurisdiction is limited to the certification standards found in Oregon law and rule (available for review on DPSST’s website: oregon.gov/DPSST). The allegations made in these complaints have been reviewed and it has been determined that, if founded, these issues may violate the Board’s certification standards. DPSST has forwarded these complaints to the Department of Justice recommending that an investigation into these allegations be conducted and the results of that investigation forwarded to DPSST for further review. If it is determined that any Board-established standards have been violated, revocation proceedings against your DPSST certifications may be initiated. Any questions or concerns can be directed to DPSST’s Professional Standards Unit. Sincerely, Linsay Hale, Director Professional Standards Division Tel: 503-378-2427 Email: linsay.hale@state.or.us Cc: File Enclosures: Complaints 1928, 1929, 1940, 1941, 1942, and 1943
