LEARN ABOUT SISTERS' NEW CONTRACT WITH DCSO AND MEET OUR LOCAL OFFICERS
This Let’s Talk! program represents one step toward working more meaningfully and collaboratively with our new local team. The City’s new contract with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) will give us all more opportunities to build relationships and trust with our local officers.
The video, recorded during the Nov. 16 Let’s Talk! with about 45 area residents in attendance, starts with City Manager Cory Misley offering the history and an overview of the new contract. You’ll also hear directly from Lt. Chad Davis, who is the sheriff’s unit leader under the new contract; and his new team of local deputies as well as the school resource officer for Sisters’ schools.
