A state police policy committee Thursday voted unanimously to recommend that Deschutes County Sheriff Kent van der Kamp lose his police certification for life. The recommendation comes weeks after Deschutes County District Attorney Steve Gunnels placed van der Kamp on a Brady list of officers with questionable credibility and the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training found him in violation of moral fitness rules because he concealed his firing from a California police department.
