Today, on National Peace Officer Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities, including those we have lost locally. This solemn occasion reminds us of the profound courage and selflessness displayed by law enforcement officers every day. As we look upon this small section of the National Law Enforcement Memorial Wall in Washington D.C., we see more than just names etched in stone. We see legacies of heroism, dedication, and sacrifice. Each name represents a life lost in the line of duty, a family forever changed, and a community forever grateful. We especially pay tribute to the following Douglas County Law Enforcement Officers whose names are forever etched on this national memorial wall: 🔵 Officer Donald DeSues Roseburg Police Department EOW August 7, 1959 🔵 Special Deputy Ronald H.

🌞 As we head into the weekend with temps reaching into the 80s, it's the perfect time to soak up the sun and enjoy outdoor activities! But before you dive into your weekend plans, the Sheriff's Office wants to share some important water safety tips to keep you and your loved ones protected: • Wear a life jacket: Always wear a properly fitted life jacket, especially if you're boating, kayaking, or participating in any water activity where you may not have control over the conditions. • Swim in designated areas: Stick to swimming areas that are designated as safe for swimming. Avoid swimming in areas where there are strong currents, underwater hazards, or heavy boat traffic. • Never swim alone: This ensures that there is someone who can assist you in case of an emergency. • Learn to swim: If you're not a strong swimmer, consider taking swimming lessons to improve your skills. Knowing how to swim can greatly reduce your risk of drowning. • Watch out for children: If you're supervising children near water, keep a close eye on them at all times. Children can drown in just a few inches of water, so never leave them unattended near pools, lakes, or other bodies of water. • Be aware of weather conditions: Pay attention to weather forecasts and avoid swimming during storms or when there is lightning in the area. Strong winds and currents can make swimming dangerous. • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water, especially if you're spending time in the sun or participating in strenuous water activities. Dehydration can increase your risk of accidents and injuries. • Know your limits: Don't push yourself beyond your swimming abilities or comfort level. If you start to feel tired or overwhelmed, take a break and rest on shore. • Avoid alcohol and drugs: Never consume alcohol before or during water activities. They can impair your judgment, coordination, and reaction time, increasing your risk of accidents and drowning. • Know how to respond in an emergency: Learn basic water rescue techniques and CPR so that you can assist others in case of an emergency. Enjoy your weekend responsibly and stay safe out there! 🌊🚤 #WeekendSafety #StaySafe

𝐃𝐄𝐏𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐀𝐍 𝐈𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐏 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊-𝐈𝐍 𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐑, 𝐎𝐫𝐞. - A Gardiner man has been arrested in a burglary of the Gardiner, Reedsport, and Winchester Bay (GRWB) Salmon Trout Enhancement Program (STEP) hatchery. The investigation began on Monday, April 22, 2024, when deputies were alerted that someone had forcibly made entry into the hatchery building. Once inside, the suspect had poured a chemical substance into one of the rearing ponds causing the death of approximately 15,000-20,000 smolt chinook salmon. Deputies processed the scene and began conducting a follow up investigation. On Tuesday, April 23, 2024, around 6:30 p.m., a deputy patrolling the area observed a male walking south along Highway 101 near milepost 210. A short time later the deputy walked into the hatchery and observed that same male behind the locked gate and no trespassing signs. The male, identified as 22-year-old Gardiner resident Joshua Alexander Heckathorn, was contacted and interviewed by the deputy. During the interview, Heckathorn admitted to trespassing on the property and entering a storage location and handling the chemical bottle on Monday. Deputies arrested Heckathorn and lodged him at the Douglas County Jail on charges of Burglary II, Criminal Trespass and Criminal Mischief. Due to the number of smolt chinook salmon that were killed in the incident, the Sheriff's Office is collaborating with the Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife unit on the case. “Solving this case is the result of collaboration and good policework,” Sheriff John Hanlin remarked. “I am proud of the work done by the deputies and have full confidence that the investigation will aid in holding those responsible accountable for their actions." The Sheriff's Office was also assisted by the Reedsport Police Department.
