On February 18, 2016, the Tri-County Major Incident Team released a report prepared, primarily, by the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office. The publically available version consists of 360 pages, though the page numbering indicates that the entire report consists of at least 714 pages. The officers involved are identified by assigned numbers, to protect their identity. There are heavy redactions of experience of officers and substantial portions of their interviews. References shown thus, {nn}, indicate PDF page numbers from the above linked document.
This article will point out discrepancies, disparities, and other portions that raise a question as to the objectivity of the published version of the report. The document explains that when they do the interviews, they can use the names of the other officers or personnel, though those names will be replaced by numbers in the documentation. So, when they speak of “Office #1”, we have no idea who he is, but the numbers remain constant for the various players, throughout. There will be a distinction between “Officer #4” “DCSO 4”, the latter being on the investigation team, the former being an officer involved from Oregon State Police (OSP). Italics will be used for direct quotes from the report.
