ROSEBURG, Ore. - The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce several awards and recognitions presented during the month of December to staff members whose service, leadership, and actions exemplify the highest standards of public safety and professionalism.   
  
Lieutenant Kelley Bean was honored by the Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association (OSSA) as Enforcement Commander of the Year. Lt. Bean has served the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office since 1998 and currently serves as the Investigations Lieutenant. In this role, he oversees major crimes investigations, medical examiner investigators, and administrative support functions. His leadership, attention to detail, and commitment to professional development have contributed to effective case management, strong collaboration with the District Attorney’s Office, and successful investigative outcomes. Lt. Bean’s career reflects consistent dedication to mentorship, training, and operational excellence.   
  
Deanna Stone, Civil Process Clerk with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, was awarded OSSA’s Civil Support Staff of the Year. As the agency’s sole civil clerk, Deanna plays a critical role in maintaining daily operations and public service. She routinely supports the Records Clerks and front office functions and demonstrated exceptional dedication during a period of reduced staffing by assuming additional responsibilities to ensure uninterrupted service. Additionally, she serves the community as a Douglas County Search and Rescue volunteer. Her professionalism, reliability, and commitment to teamwork exemplify the vital role support staff play in the success of the agency.   
  
In addition to the statewide OSSA awards, Sheriff John Hanlin presented Deputy Jake Littrell with a Lifesaving Award for his actions during a water rescue on November 22, 2025, at Tahkenitch Lake. Deputy Littrell responded to an overturned boat and located an individual still in the water, exhausted and without a life jacket. Acting quickly and without immediate assistance, he used a paddle boat to reach the individual, while in full duty gear, to bring them safely to shore. His decisive actions prevented a likely drowning and demonstrated courage, sound judgment, and dedication to preserving life.   
  
“These awards represent the professionalism, dedication, and service-oriented mindset of our staff,” said Sheriff John Hanlin. “Each of these individuals goes above and beyond in their roles, and we are proud to recognize their contributions to our agency and our community.”

BEGINNING OF THE YEAR SCAMS  
  
The start of the new year brings new and old scams alike. Be on the lookout for scams which often come through emails, texts, and phone calls aimed at tricking you into disclosing personal and financial information. Common scams may also threaten you with late fees, missed jury duty, or other penalties which “require” you to pay immediately or in untraditional payment types such as gift cards, BitCoin, money orders, and others. Here are some things to keep in mind throughout the year.   
  
Protect Yourself Throughout the Year  
Although some scams target specific events and deadlines, such as tax season or open enrollment, scams happen throughout the year. Scammers are creative and resourceful; they will try to convince you they are with a legitimate agency. They will sometimes create a fake, professional-looking profile or a website that looks very similar to the organization’s actual page. Scammers may try to use your emotions against you, such as pretending to be a family member in jail or threaten legal consequences if you do not pay immediately. When in doubt, hang up without providing personal or payment information and contact the real organization to verify the request is really coming from their office.   
  
Some things you can do to protect yourself and loved ones from scams:  
                                    
• Confirm an agency is legitimate (and the contact is really with the agency) before sending sensitive information or payment. Do not click on links or call phone numbers sent to you in suspicious communications. Instead, look up the agency’s contact information by searching online or in a phone book.   
• When you set up an account with an agency (bank, utilities, healthcare, etc.) bookmark their website and save their office number. This will make it easy to follow up with them if you receive a call, text, email, or letter requesting payment or sensitive information.   
• Be wary of social media comments. Do not click on links from other users or share sensitive information with them.   
• Help your friends and family members recognize scams and suspicious communications.   
• Remember, in general agencies such as law enforcement, healthcare, and financial institutes will not ask you for your account login and password information.   
• Remember what agencies will contact you about.    
  
o Our office will not call you regarding federal jury duty, local jury duty, etc.   
o We will not ask for payment over the phone.  
o Our office and other government agencies will not ask you to pay fines or fees with gift cards, money orders, bitcoin, etc.  
o Our office will not try to sell you merchandise or swag over social media through third party comments. Bookmark our pages below to know which pages are official.
