“As Sheriff, one of my key roles is conserving the peace of our county. The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office has partnered with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Vancouver Police Department, and Washington State Patrol, acquiring resources to maintain peace during this event. The freedom of speech and the right to peaceably assemble are protected by our United States Constitution. However, criminal activity during this event will be investigated and enforced,” states Sheriff Summer Scheyer. “I want nothing more than a respectful and peaceful event for all.”
