Sheriff Kent Van der Kamp of Deschutes County is under scrutiny for lying under oath about his educational credentials and past employment. The Deschutes County District Attorney's office found he lied about attending USC and the University of Arizona, leading to his placement on the Brady list, which bars him from testifying in court. A state investigation by the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) found six instances of his dishonesty, potentially leading to the revocation of his certification. Despite public and internal office concerns, Van der Kamp has not resigned and plans to continue his tenure.
