The Sheriff's office is now the only enforcement in the County, which he described. He described the Offender Custody Program with treatment options. Of the ninety-nine (99) inmates in custody at the jail today, thirty-six (36) are drug charges. Others are drug related, usually property crimes. He talked about current manufacturing and distribution in Tillamook County. District Attorney Porter said reducing the supply in one area does not reduce the demand. He talked about different recipes. Commissioner Hurliman discussed some of the unintended consequences of meth manufacturing. He said we need to get rid of the demand. Sheriff Anderson talked about the increase in female offenders, now about twenty (20%) percent of the jail population. Mr. Krein said the most common urinary analysis test result in juveniles is meth, when it used to be marijuana, just five (5) years ago. Many kids are now being raised by extended families because they have been removed from meth addicted parents. It takes eight (8) months forthe brain to correct itself. Sheriff Anderson said fifteen to thirty (15-30%) percent of the jail population have a mental illness. Vice-ChairLabhart asked the group whattheybelieve the Board ofcommissioners
