The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol is contracted with the Oregon State Marine Board to provide 750 water patrol hours on the Columbia River and Willow Creek Reservoir per year.  Most of the contracted hours are spent on the Columbia River since that is the area of the highest boating traffic.  While out on the water, marine deputies look for unsafe boating operations, life jacket violations, impaired boaters and provide boater assists.  Marine deputies will contact boaters at the docks in the marina and out on the water for safety inspections.

Morrow County Reserve Deputies supplement full time deputies, often riding in the car with them as a second unit.  Reserve deputies provide patrols during community celebrations such as the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo, Ione’s Fourth of July Celebration and the Irrigon Watermelon Festival.  The reserves volunteer their time to complete these patrols.

The Administrative Division is supervised by the administrative lieutenant, who also serves as the Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer (PIO) and Custodian of Records.  This division includes the Civil unit, Concealed Handgun License (CHL) unit, and the Records unit.  The division is staffed by the civil sergeant/office manager and a civil/records deputy.  Patrol deputies are also under the supervision of the Administrative Division while they are serving civil papers.

The Corrections Division is supervised by the corrections lieutenant.  There are currently 4 personnel assigned to the Corrections Division.  This division includes Parole and Probation and Community Service Work Crew.

The Community Service Work program allows for the placement and monitoring of offenders ordered to perform community service work as a condition of court order supervision.  The program also provides alternative sanctions for offenders who violate their conditions of supervision.  The Community Service Work program also helps offenders learn job skills and tools to become successful employees.
