Danny is a good man!

Getting to know your DCSO

Deputy Danny Graham has been with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office for 20 years! He has held various positions, including court security, corrections and patrol deputy, training officer, and detective.

The thing he enjoys the most about his job is getting to talk to people and being there for them in the good times, and the bad. For the future he hopes promote into a leadership position, but for now he is concentrated on new experiences. He believes being a deputy contributes to the agency's success by cultivating positive interactions, which enhances community trust and overall public perception.

He originally got into law enforcement as a police explorer when he was 17 years old, which was when he decided this was the career we wanted to pursue. “You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you”. –DG (John Wooden)

Today our Office received reports of citizens receiving calls from people pretending to be law enforcement officials requesting money to clear up warrants. This is an ongoing scam. Law enforcement will not contact you requesting money to clear up arrest warrants.

As the smoke settles over Oregon from our beautiful mountains on fire, the times and air are heavy. Let’s all start our snow dances early this year. Pray for precipitation. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌲🌲🐿🦌🌧🌧🌧💦

Hey we live in Oregon to enjoy the outdoors, but while the smoke is hanging around it’s best to stay indoors. Watch a good movie or something.

If you're looking for the official term for the current smoke situation in Bend, it's "Hazardous" and it likely won't get much better for a while. Outdoor activity should be avoided.

We will never forget.
