They also attend Basic Police Academy at the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. Deputy Bertsch has been with the Sheriff's Office for two and a half years and reassigned to Patrol after working in the Lane County Jail, where he was active on our Health & Wellness Committee to promote staff well-being.
