The Fresno County Sheriffs Department was saddened the past year by the loss
of its former chief and two active members of the d epartment. Their loss is a bloy{
both to the department and to the community.
The only man ever to serve five con
secutive terms as sheriff of Fresno County
passed away June 3, 1964. George J.
Overhoi t was sheriff from 1931 until
1951. During his administration many im
provements were made in the department.
He earned a reputation as a man who
could get the most in law enforcement
from the tax dollar.
Born in Clark's Valley, Fresno County,
on October 23, 1883, Sheriff Overholt
spent nearly all his life in the Fresno area.
His parents were early day settlers in the
county. Before entering law enforcement,
Sheriff Overholt engaged in ranching and
GEORGE J. OVERHOLTvarious business enterprises.
He entered law enforcement in 1918 as Undersheriff under Sheriff William F.
Jones. While serving in this capacity he was in charge of the Civil Division. When
Sheriff Jones announced his rttirement in 1930, Overholt became a candidate for sher
iff and was elected. He was reelected in1934, 1938, 1942, and again in 1946.
Some of the more notable achievements during his administration were the build
ing of a new jail and sheriffs office; the establishment of a night patrol; uniforms
for parrolmen, bailiffs, and jailers; and the installation of a two-way radio system.
He was also credited with forming the sheriffs mounted drill team which won
trophies throughout the state, and with the formation of the sheriff's aero squad
ron for aid in search and rescue operations.
Sheriff Overholt was a past president of the San Joaquin Valley Association of
District AttOrneys and Sheriffs, The California Peace Officers Association, and the
California State Sheriffs Association.
He was a mtmber of the Native Sons of The Golden West, the Elks Lodge,
Woodmen of the World, and the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
He is survived by his wife Dorothy and two sisters, Mrs. Annie Burns of Sierra
Madre and Mrs. Norma Vermillion of S~IO Francisco.

Captain Arthur Lee Johnson passed away November 18, 1964 as the result of a
heart attack suffered while bowling with the Sheriffs Department Bowling League.
His death was unexpected and came as a great shock to his many friends and asso
Ciates.
Captain Johnson, affectionately known
as "Lee" by his fellow officers, had been
a Fresno County Peace Officer fQr thirty
years, the last twenty-two years as a mem
ber of the Sheriffs Department. At the
time of his death he was in charge of the
Coroner's Office.
Lee was born in Georgetown, Colorado.
on March 11, 1902. When he was five
years old the family moved to California
and settled in the Sanger area. He was a
graduate of the Sanger Union High School
and attended the University of California
at Berkeley for three years.
He began his career in law enforcement
as a traffic officer with the Sanger Po'lice Department in 1934. In conjunction with
his police duties he doubled as chief of t he Sanger Fire Department.
In November of 1942 he joined the staff of Sheriff George]. Overholt as a jailer.
In August of 1945 he became Head Jailer, and in 1952 he was promoted to Cap
tain. From 1953 until 1957 he was Undersheriff. He also served as a captain in the
Criminal and Administrative Divisions.
Lee was a man of great personal integrity; whenever he gave his word it could be
relied upon. He was also blessed wtih a sharp memory and a keen sense of humor.
Many of us younger members began our Iaw enforcement careers under his guid
ance. We remember him as a man who always insisted upon the best performance
from each officer, but who was always fair and understanding in his rclations with
us.
He is survived by his wife, Emma, and a step-son, Arthur S. De Manty of
Fresno, and two sisters, Louise Zinn of Klamath Falls, Oregon, and Florence John
son of Livermore.

Each person has, or should have, a definite purpose in life. Some of us strive to
develop our tedents to the utmost, and while so doing, never forget the human ele
ment.
Such was the axiom of life followed by
Alinda Ruggieri during her fifty -eight
years of life upon this earth. She was a
rare individual who was endowed with the
virtue of putting the welfare of others be
fore her own. She was the personification
of the "Golden Rule."
Alinda worked as a legal secretary in
the Civil Division of the Sheriff's Depart
ment for fourteen years. She passed away
on July 20, 1964.
She was born in Moose Lake, Minne
sota, and came to California twenty-five
years ago.
Alinda was an active member of St.
Pauls Methodist Church, the Fresno Coun
ty Employees Association, and the Legal ALINDA RUGGIERI
Secretaries Association of Fresno County.
We all miss Alinda and her warm and tender ways. Many times have the me
mories of her accomplishments cross the minds of her fellow employees in the
Civil Division.
She suffered for many months before leaving the stage of life, but never once was
she heard to complain or condemn. Her loss was of a paramount nature to her fam
ily and the Fresno County Sheriff's Department.
She is survived by her husband, F. A. Ruggieri of Fresno ; two sons, Frank Rug
gieri, Jr., of Grand Turk Island in the Bahamas, ;lnd Michael of Fresno; twO
daughters, Mary L. and Ruth C. Ruggieri , both of Fresno.
The contributions of each of these departed members will long be remembered
by the Fresno County Sheriffs Department.

COORDINATION WITH VOLUNTEERS
By GENE HALLAM
All too frequendy in Fresno County a child wan
ders away from his home or his parents' camp ; a
hunter or fisherman fails to return as expected ; or
some unfortunate person drowns in one of our many
canals or lakes. Each time such an.incident occurs , the
sheriff is required by law to render appropriate aid.
As our population increases these incidents become
more frequent and more varied in scope.
Until a few years ago it was possible to handle
these matters with whatever personnel happened to
be on duty or available at the time the need arose.
However, in addition ro our Own population growth,
more and more people from Southern California now
regularly come to Fresno Counry for a weekend of
outdoor recreation. These two factors have increased
the magnitude of the problem to the point it can no
longer be handled in such a casual manner. Late in
1963 therefore, Sheriff Willmirth asked Undersheriff
GIVES COUNTY VALUABLE SERVICE
James Long to assume responsibility for all search
and rescue operations, and to pur tOgether an effect
ive organization ro carry out these duties.
Undersheriff Long's first act was to appoint Lieu
tenant Warren Saunders as operations officer. The
tw of them then began to make plans and to organize
a permanent staff.
If search and rescue work were a full time job, or
even if the time required could be somewhat ac
curately forecast, putting a crew rogether to handle
it would be relatively easy. Such, however, is not the
case. The summer months are usually the busiest, but
there can be a sudden flurry of activity in the dead
of winter. Even during the summer there might be
several weeks in a row without a call, then suddenly
there are two or three situations needing attention
simultaneously. Therefore it would be highly im
practical, even if manpower were no problem, to se
lect a group of men and assign them to rescue work

SEARCH AND RESCUE
exclusively. Since rescue operations are so varied, it
is also impractical to try to train a few people to be
experts in all its many phases.
With these factors in mind, it was decided to
select men who were interested in and had an apti
tude for rescue work, and give them intensive train
ing in whichever category they were best (lualified.
The goal was to eventually have available a number
of trained and experienced scuba divers, skiers and
snowshoers, trackers and map readers, truck and jeep
drivers, horsemen, trail motorcycle riders, aerial ob
servers, and such supporting personnel as communi
cations experts and cooks. Then, no matter what the
situation, there would be several people familiar with
the problem, who could actually conduct the opera
tions themselves, or take the lead in organizing volun
teers if a large scale operation was called for. Since
such assignments would be in addition to their regu
lar duties, the men would be chosen from every di
vision, so that no one unit would be unduly burdened.
The next step in organizing the program was the
assignment of two sergeants, Bill Young and your
writer, to supervise field training and actual opera
tions. The selection of personnel, assignment to
specialized groups, and the planning of a training
program then began in earnest.
At the same time efforts were initiated to solve
another problem almost as important as manpower,
that of inadequate equipment. Previously men sent
on rescue missions had gotten to the scene by what
ev.er means of transportation happened to be avail
able; usually sedans from the Detective Division.
Since there were no facilities for cooking and serving
meals in the field, a crew on an extended mission
had to choose between going hungry; eating cold
and stale sandwiches; or wasting valuable hours
driving miles to the nearest restaurant. There was
an obvious and pressing need for a headquarters
vehicle, big enough to carry supplies, radios, and
emergency equipment.
Since there were no funds available to purchase a
new vehicle of this nature, Long and Saunders
checked the county surplus yard for a suitable used
vehicle. Luck was with them. There they found an
old GI 6x6, which to those not familiar with military
terms means a truck with six wheels and all of them
powered. It was over twenty years old, but still in
serviceable condition, and it even had a van type
cargo body, ideal for conversion to a field headquar
ters. Its tremendous power made it ideal for llse on

Members of the snowshoe unit prepare for a training
exerCIse.
steep, narrow mountain roads where it would most
often be needed.
With a minimum amount of red tape, arrange
ments were made for transfer of the truck to the
search and rescue unit, and the job of modification
began. Radio sets were installed to provide contact
directly with sheriffs headquarters, ground to air
contact with Sheriff's Air Squadron planes, and con
tact with field units using citizen band walkie-talk
ies. A military type field kitchen range was put in,
and cabinets were built to hold cooking utensils,
emergency rations, and miscellaneous equipment.
Space was even found for a folding desk, for map
reading and message writing.
A generator was mounted on tile rear to provide
power for radios and flood lights, and a large water
tank hung beneath the van for use when operating in
dry areas. A portable canopy was devised for shelter
at one side in case of inclement weather.
Several members of the newly formed unit devoted
many hours of their off duty time to preparing the
vehicle for service. Mr. Willis Case, Superintendent
of the County Garage, was very cooperative in pro
viding men and material for the project. After sev
eral months of experimentation and hard labor, the
search and rescue unit had a field headquarters ve
hide of which they could be justly proud.
Since the unit was organized during the wincer
months, the first field training was in the use of skis
and snowshoes. Deputy Dick Boulware, who since
has been promoted to sergeant, was an experienced
skier, and he volunteered to instruct recruits. Several
training missions were conducted, and the trainees
soon learned that there was little glamour and a lot
of hard work involved in pulling a sled loaded with
a full-grown man over soft snow and trying to learn

SEARCH AND RESCUE
the technique of remaining upright while traveling
on snowshoes. They persevered, however, and by
the end of the winter there were several men who
were capable of conducting a rescue operation in the
snow.
There are several horse owners in the department
who several years ago had banded together with two
or three volunreers from outside the departmenr to
form the Sheriff's Mounted Patrol. The group had
once been quite active in rescue work, but hadn't seen
much activity during the past couple: of years. This
unit was re-activated, and plans made for training in
map reading and working in coordination with air
craft. About the same time arrangements were made
with a local dealer for the use of four trail moror
cycles on an experimental basis.
The first major air-ground training exercise was
held in March in the Coalinga area. In preparation,
four orange signal cloths about two feet square were
placed on the ground at widely separated points.
Four air-ground teams were formed, one consisting
of one air crew and three trail cyclists, and the other
three consisting of one air crew and two horsemen
each. At 9:00 a.m. the ground units met at the Coal
inga airport, and each one was given a map of the
general area in which the unit's target was located.
They then departed for the respective target areas.
An hour later the air crews were given the same
information, and they rook off. The mission called
for the air crew to locate the target, then direct the
ground unit to it by radio. The operation was coordi
nated by a field sergeant and the Air Squadron'S
operations officer, working from the headquarters
truck parked at the airport.
Within the allotted time all but one of the teams
had successfully completed its mission. One team
had the opportunity for valuable practice in manual
air to ground signals when radio communication
failed, and still managed to complete the mission.
After the exercise the team members and observers
met for lunch and talked over specific problems en
countered.
In April the search and rescue unit arranged for
public recognition by entering a unit in the Clovis
Day Parade. Since the event is held in connection
with the Clovis Rodeo, it was decided to make the
mounted patrol the "stars" of the entry. The head
quarters truck, washed and polished for the occasion,
led the way. It was followed by six horsemen, dressed

and equipped for field operations, leading two pack
mules loaned by Dean & Dave's Pack Station of
Dinkey Creek One mule carried camping equipment,
and the other bore a basket litter containing a red
headed female clothing store mannequin simulating
an injured person.
The blankets in which the mannequin was wrapped
gave it the appearance of a woman in an advanced
stage of pregnancy. Since one of the members of
the mounted patrol was Dr. Charles Glass, a local
obstretician, it was facetiously suggested that we halt
midway in the parade and let him deliver a baby.
This suggestion met with the same reception, how
ever, as a similar one that the ski and snowshoe unit
mount a sled on roller skate wheels, load it with a
victim, and pull it the entire length of the parade
route walking on snowshoes.
The horsemen were followed by the department
jeep pulling the scuba-diving equipment trailer, and
several members of the Sheriffs Powerboat Squad

little in the way of tralOlOg, all who participated
had a lot of fun, and the spectacors no doubt learned
a great deal about the departlnent's facilities and
capabilities in the search and rescue field.
Sometime in April Undersheriff Long heard about
the annual rescue seminar conducted by the Southern
California chapter of the International Mountain Res
cue Association. Always on the alert for new ideas
and information which might be of value, he ar
ranged for your writer to attend. Two members of
the Air Squadron, Commander Ken McNamara and
Operations Officer Bud Miller, also attended.
We arrived at ldyllwild, about twenty-five miles
southeast of Banning in Riverside County, late on a
Friday evening. A church summer camp had been
rented for the seminar, and search and rescue units
from all over Southern California, and a few from
neighboring states, had gathered to display eguip
ment and exchange information and ideas.
The session officially got under way early Saturday
morning, after a breakfast of powdered eggs and hot
cakes. The first thing we learned was that powdered
eggs haven't improved much in the twenty years
since World War II. They still taste all right if
you 're hungry enough.

SEARCH AND RESCUE
The first two hours were devoted to classroom
lectures on various subjects relating to search and
rescue, such as organization and control of search
parties, legal obligations of law enforcement agen
cies, cooperation between agencies, liability for in
juries suffered by participants, etc. Next there was a
formal equipment display, where units exhibited
various pieces of equipment designed to meet specific
needs or problems. Some of it had been designed
and produced commercially, and some by the mem
bers of the units themselves. Among the most inter
esting items, which we from Fresno County had never
seen before, were a gasoline powered winch small
enough to be carried on a back pack; a gasoline
powered generator of a similar size; a rescue sled
equipped with rigid handles at each corner instead
of ropes, so that it can be more easily lifted over
obstructions; and a litter basket with a bicycle wheel
to give the bearers a brief respite whenever a smooth
bit of trail is found. We were somewhat astonished
to find, however, that even though some of the
units had newer and more expensive vehicles, none
had as good an all around headquarters vehicle as
our oid GI truck.
After lunch we drove several miles from camp to
a SpOt where a creek runs through a small canyon
with sheer rock walls. Here we saw demonstrations
of the various uses of ropes in climbing cliffs, and
lowering and raising litters into and out of deep
canyons. The afternoon ended with a simulated res
cue. A dummy was placed in a grotesque position
on the canyon floor, representing a hiker who had
fallen and seriously injured himself. A team of rock
climbers descended on ropes to the victim, rendered
first aid such as bandaging cuts and applying splints
to broken bones, then placed the victim in a basket
litrer. A second team then took over and raised the
litter, one man literally walking up the cliff behind
it, to the canyon rim opposite our vantage point.
From there a third team transported the basket across
the canyon on a rope to the top of a large flat
boulder. There it was picked lip by a helicopter from
the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The precision work of the various teams was quite
impressive. However, we didn'r feel that Fresno
County was hopelessly outclassed. We have rock
climbers available among the Edison Company em
ployees ar Big Creek, and, as Bud Miller said in
reference to the helicopter pilot's skill, "He's good,

SEARCH AND RESCUE
but he's not any better than Harry," meaning Harry
Rogers, the leader of our helicopter squadron.
Afrer a deliciolls dinner not <"luite so reminiscenr
of our milirary careers as breakfast bad been, we
assembled in the mess hall for the evening program.
First on the agenda was a short business meering of
the sponsoring association, then the speaker of the
evening took over. He was a doeror fromSeanle,
who is medical advisor for the Imernational Moun
rain Rescue Association, and an avid moumaineer.
Seldom had we listened to a more dedicated man.
He reminded me of an old-fashioned evangelist ex
pounding the gospel. He had participated in several
spenacuLtr rescues of injured moumain climbers, in
cluding a comparatively recem mission high on the
shoulder of Mr. McKinley in Alaska, and several
from the more rugged peaks of the Cascade Range
in Washingron and Oregon. His talk and the slides
with which he demonstrated it ran on for hours, but
no one seemed to mind . The only persons who left
before the conclusion of the program were [wo
Riverside County rescue teams who were called out
to search for a fisherman reported lost on a stream
a few miles away. This call seemed so trite everyone
tbought it was a gag at first, but it proved to be on
tbe level, and we learned tbe next morning that the
search had been successfully completed shortly after
midnight, with the victim found unharmed.
Sunday morning's program featured the use of
the helicopter in rescue work. There were demon
strations of equipmem drops, picking up a litter with
a winch and cable while hovering several feet in the
air; and how to safely load a helicopter" while it
hovers inches above the ground with the rotor blades
whirling. Two bloodhounds and their handlers were
flown to tbe demonstration area, a large meadow a
half mile from camp, and we saw how the gigamic,
sad-faced animals can follow a scem. We were told
that a good., well-trained bloodhound is valued at
over two thousand dollars.
Later in the morning we saw a demonstration of
the tensile strength of various types and sizes of rope,
and the difference in strength that various knots will
make in the same piece of rope. After lunch the
seminar was adjourned.
We came away witb the feeling that the trip bad
definitely been worthwhile. Several bits of informa
tion of potenrial value to this department had been
assimilated, and it had been encouraging to see that
even though we were just beginning to get our search

SEARCH AND RESCUE
their availability and willingness to help was fully
understood and appreciated.
Observing the success with which Southern Califor
nia agencies utilize the services of volunteer groups
confirmed the value of an idea we had already
formed and begun to make a reality. We have men
tioned the Air Squadron, and the important part it
played in training and its potential value on an
actual mission. Our other auxiliary groups, such as
the Sheriff's Posse, the Powerboat Sljuadron, and the
Communications Squadron, are of course always
available and anxious to help. It was felt from the
beginning, however, that we also needed people we
could call upon who were inrimately acquainred with
the area in which our missions would be carried out.
Since the majority of our calls come from the
Huntington and Shaver Lakes area, and the Southern
California Edison employees living at Big Creek are
the largest group of year round residents of that
area, they seemed to be a highly valuable source of
help. The matter was discussed with Ken Davis, spe
cial agent in charge of law enforcement matters for
the Edison Company, and he liked the ide:a. He: there
fore: arranged a meeting in the company social hall,
and several of us, including Sheriff Willmirth and
Undersheriff Long, attended and outlined our plan.
In addition to Edison Company employees, several
other residents of the: area were present.
The overall plan, devised in cooperation with Mr.
Davis who volunteered to act as coordinator, was
to have on file the name of each person who was
interested in rescue work, with pcrtinent information
regarding the time he would be available, his particu
lar skill, such as mountain climbing, tracking, diving,
etc.; and whatever special equipment he had. Thus,
if extra help were needed, Mr. Davis could be noti
fied, and he would check his file for the ilppropriate
personnel and take care of dispatching.
Response· to the idea was more gratifying. We
learned that practically all of the people of the area
feel very strongly about search and rescue work, and
are very anxious to help a neighbor, or a stranger,
who is in trouble. In fact, those at the meeting im
mediately backed up the:ir convictions with something
more substantial than words, by conrributing several
dollars to start a fund for the purchase of extra
equipment for our unit.
Shortly after the Big Creek group was enlisted in
our case, we learned of another group, already well
organized, equipped, and trained, who were anxious

ro become a pa rt of our program. This was Explorer
Scout Troop #50, under the leadership of Mr. Glen
Dorfmeier. Ie must be confessed that at first we had
some doubt about asking them to join us, based
principally upon the youth of the members and the
questionable wisdom of using them on such potm
tially hazardous tasks as search and rescue missions.
After attending a couple-of their meetings, however,
hearing the young men talk about their training and
experience, and seeing their physical equipment and
mental attitude, we welcomed them to the team.
The scoutS proved their worth on their first mis
s:on. Late in May tWO yeung motorcycle riders failed
ro return home at the expected time from a Saturday
afternoon ride. Since they had rold their parents they
were going to Bass Lake and North Fork, the search
was begun on Sunday by Madera County officers. By
Sunday afternoon, however, the youths had been
traced past Shaver Lake and Dinkey Creek, and late
that evening Constable Dick Smith and Game War
den Jim Bates found mororcycle tracks leaving the
Dinkey-Balch Camp road and entering a dirt logging
road which leads across the northwest shoulder of
Patterson Mountain and ends on its west slope.
Smith and Bates began following the tracks by
autOmobile, but had gone only a few miles whcn a
large snowdrift blocked their path. Tracks indicated
the riders had wrestled their machines through the
drift, so the officers continued on foot. A few hun
dred yards farther on they found qne of the bikes
hidden in a clump of brush beside the road.
About five miles farther they found the second
bike, abandoned after the riders had practically car
ried it through several snowdrifts and dragged it
over and under fallen trees. The riders had then
continued on foot, apparently under the impression
the road would eventually lead them ro civilization.
The officers followed the foot tracks several more
miles, and finally gave up when the tracks disap
peared at a point where the road spread Out into a
maze of short roads extending into the timber cutting
area. They hiked back ro their vehicle and radioed
this department for assistance.
Four members of the Sheriff's search and rescue
unit met Smith and Bates early Monday morning,
along with two volunteers with powerful winch
equipped jeeps. The deputies began the long trek to
the end of the road, while the jeep drivers, Smith,
Bates, and Constable Jack Sturges began checking
logging roads in the area. Meanwhile a team of
deputies was dispatched from Fresno to check roads

SEARCH AND RESCUE
in the Balch Camp area, and the Air Squadron began
an aerial search.
The search continued throughout the day, with no
sign of the lost youths. A daylight search of the area
where Smith and Bates had lost the tracks showed
that the boys had spent considerable time investigat
ing the many side roads, apparently hoping ro find
a way out of the area. When they found thar each
one ended within a few hundred yards, they had
started ro return. After about a half mile, however,
the tracks literally disappeared, and it was impos
sible to determine which direction the boys had tak
en. From that point, however, Pine Flat Reservoir
is clearly visible, and ro one inexperienced in moun
tain terrain would appear to be only a few miles
away. The officers felt sure, therefore, that the boys
had seen the lake, starred ro walk toward it, and were
probably still wandering around somewhere in the
extremely rough country between the foot of Patter
son Mountain and Dinkey Creek. There was a good
chance that, had they not injured themsel ves in some
way, they would eventually work down the east bank
of Dinkey Creek ro Balch Camp.

pointed our the potential value of an organized unit
of volunteer jeep owners. Undersheriff Long ap
proached several members of the local Four Wheel
Drive Club with the idea, and the Fresno County
Sheriffs Jeep Squadron was born.
The unit is composed of fifteen members, all of
whom own four wheel drive vehicles and are ex
perienced in operating them in rough mountain ter
rain. Most of the vehicles have engines much more
powerful than those with which they were originally
equipped, and practically all are equipped with citi
zco's band radio. The unit was called upon often
during the remainder of the year to prove that it
will be an extremely valuable addition to the search
and rescue team.
During the first few months of the year most of
the action was on land, but the underwater phase of
search and rescue was not neglected. The Sheriff's
Underwater Rescue and Recovery Unit was re-or
ganized, under the direction of Sgt. Stan Barnes, and
several new members trained. A more efficient system
for keeping equipment in working order was devised,
with all supplies except the divers' personal gear
kept in the unit's trailer, ready for action at a mo
ment's notice. One man was given the responsibility
of maintaining the supply trailer.
The unit had the usual number of calls to recover
eodies of drowned persons from the canals in the
Fresno area. Late in May they joined forces with
the mountain crew to help in the recovery of the
body of a thirteen year old Fresno boy who slipped
off a rock and drowned while fishing in the south
fork of the San Joaquin River.
Headquarters for the operation was established at
Hoffman Meadow, thirty-eight miles northeast of
Huntington Lake, and the nearest point to the scene
accessible to vehicles. From there it was a long hike,

SEARCH AND RESCUE
requiring several hours, to the scene of the tragedy.
Pack horses were brought in to carry the scuba gear,
but the divers and the others had to walk. It was an
all day operation, hampered considerably by the
fact that the canyon is so deep direct radio communi
cation with the truck was impossible.
The Explorer Scouts had been dispatched to as
sist, and an attempt was made to solve the commu
nications problem by stationing ScoutS equipped with
citizen band radios at intervals along the trail, to rc
lay messages. Even this method did not work, due to
inadequate equipment, so a call was made to Fresno
for an airplane. The Air Squadron responded im
mediately, and kept an airplane over the area the
remainder of the day, relaying messages back and
forth between the scelle of operations and the truck.
Late in the afternoon the body was recovered.
Several more hours were spent in earring it back to
Hoffman Meadow, and making sure all members of
the search party returned safely.
On July 5th a six year old boy strayed away from
his parents' camp at the Boggy Meadow Camp
ground at Edison Lake. Several members of the de
partment's rescue unit were immediately dispatched,
and they, with eight volunteers from the Edison Com
pany, conducted an all night search. Arrangements
were made for assistance from the Sierra Madre Res
cue Team, one of the previously menrioned volunteer
groups from Southern Cailfornia. Eight members of
the unit arrived in Fresno early the following morn
ing, with a bloodhound. They were enroute from
the Air Terminal to the scene when word was re
ceived that this incident too had ended in tragedy.
The child's body was found in the water just a few
yards from his parents' camp.
Also participating in this operation were six mem
bers of the Jeep Squadron, fifteen members of the
U.S. Forestry Service, Mr. Dorfmeier and nine of the

Explorer Scouts, anu Deputy Constable Dick Smith.
The Southern California units were called upon
again on August 3rd, and this mission had a happier
ending than the two previously mentioned. A thir
tcen year oJu boy had become separated from his par
ents while hiking near the Badger Flats campground
on Kaiser Pass. The search party consisted of several
sheriffs deputies, members of volunteer groups affil
iated with this department, plus members of the
Sierra Madre, Montrose, and Riv~rside rescue teams,
who again had brought a bloodhound. The com
bined efforts of the dog and a tracker led the party
to the victim, who had been injured in a fall from a
rock in the bed of Rancheria Creek. He was flown to
a Fresno hospital by Byron Clark of the Fresno
County Sheriffs Helicopter Sguadron.
These are but a few of the many search and rescue
missions conducted by this department during 1964.
Space does not permit mentioning them all. How
ever, the following statistics are an indication of the
magnitude of the task. Man 'hours spent in actual
search and rescue operations during the year were as
follows:
Sheriffs Department personneL__ ___ __________ 1623
Other law enforcement personneL__ _____ ____ ___ 122
Organized volunteer groups_____________ ______ .__ ._1489
TOTAL_________ ________ .. ________________________ __________ 3234
This does not include the uncounted hours spent by
private volunteers, nor the hundreds of hours spent
in training and preparation of eguipment.
The year ended with the most pressing problem,
that of maintaining dependable and adeguate com
munication between headguarters and field units,
still nor completely solved. However, toward the end
of the year several new and more efficient portable
(Continued on Next Pager
Vcdley Ice Company

SEARCH AND RESCUE
radios were purchased. They have undergone a great
deal of testing, and promise to fulfill the need.
Due to promotions and transfers there have been
a few changes in key personnel, but the overall pro
gram remains unchanged. Although great strides
have been made, the task of providing the people of
Fresno County with a search and rescue unit prepared
for any contingency is not yet completed. ~ome of the
plans for the future are as follows.
A continuing training program will be conducted,
with new personnel constantly being added and those
already in the group encouraged to maintain their
skills at peak efficiency. A search and rescue manual
of procedure is now being prepared, so that any
person assigned to take part in such a mission will
be able to find out exactly what part he is to play.
Several major items of equipment are in the
"talking and wishing" phase of acquisition, among
them a "snow-cat," for use in back roads in the
mountains during the winter when conventional
vehicles are useless. Naturally, the cost of a new ve
hicle of this nature would be prohibitive, but the
possibility of acquiring one from military surplus is
being explored.
Last but not least, an intensive public education
program is planned, to teach users of our recreation
areas how best to avoid placing themselves and their
children in a situation which might require the serv
ices of a search and rescue unit. The members of the
Sheriffs search and rescue unit would be very happy
if this program would turn out to be so successful
that they would be put out of business.

The curriculum is flexible to meet the changing
needs of law enforcement. The academy stresses the
application of each subject to police work and pre
sents practical problems which the student must
solve. The FBI maintains a full staff of instructors,
supplemented by FBI experts and other specialists
in various fields. Outstanding educators, criminolo
gists, police officials and firearms specialists number
among the faculty. A rigorous daily physical fitness
program, including instructions in judo, self-defense
and dis-arming tactics is maintained throughout the
course, presided over by deceptively mild looking
FBI agents in the basement gymnasium. Tests and
practical laboratory studies are conducted under the
guidance of trained, world renowned specialists. The
outdoor firearms ranges at the FBI academy in Quan
tico, Virginia, are utilized by the student to learn
and practice weaponry of all types under FBI fire
arms instructors of unbelievable skill and apparent
inexhaustible patience.

ordinary aptitude for citing, from memory, cases
and decisions affecting the subject material has
rightfully earned him the title of "The Judge."
The second hour is enlivened by the frantic
gyrations of the FBI expert on sex crimes and the
sex criminal. From the endless notes and printed
material he produces, there emerges a new under
standing of the underlying causes of many seem
ingly senseless crimes committed in your area.
At 11 :00 A.M., a famous professor from George
Washington University gives the first of a series
of lectures regarding the psychology of the crimi
nal. Medical and psychiatric terms seems to melt
together, making necessary the burning of mid
night oil to place everything in the proper per
spective.
During lunch, usually spent in the large base

expected examinations in the afternoon.

Writers cramp becomes an occupational disease
and a new malady, "typewriter fingertip" makes
Its appearance.
At 7:00 P.M., that evening, the stude:nt is
among a group gathered in the bureau library to
do research for a "term paper" assigned by the
academy staff. Their subject is "Crime Scene
Search Procedures," and the student is surrounded
by a most cosmopolitan company. A sergeant from
the police department in Rock Island, Illinois, a
sheriff's captain from Clearwater, Florida, the:
commissioner of police: from the Virgin Islands,
and the assistant chief of police from Monterey,
California. Others standing by to lend assistance,
or to criticize, include the militarily erect deputy
superintendent of police from Singapore, Malaysia,
the lazy appearing and razor sharp Mississippi
Highway safety patrolman, the sergeant from the
police department of Anchorage, Alaska who con
stantly turns the classroom thermostat down to a
teeth chattering temperature. A major from the
Peruvian Investigation Police is engaged in a mul
ti-accented argument with the chief of police from
Framingham, Mass. , concerning the best procedure
to be used when evaluating personnel. The inter
national makeup adds flavor, but it serves a much
greater purpose, by creating understanding among
men of identical professional interests and diverse
political and national philosophies.
One day of the session is spent at a nearby Army
installation where a crack military police battalion
demonstrates military procedures in mob and riot
control, through the use of helicopters, tear gas, a
multitude of sophisticated equipment and many hun
dreds of "extras" from the camp. This demonstration
is for the benefit of the academy students, but many

police officials, government administrators and high
ranking officials are invited. So much rank is present
that full colonels serve as ushers in the grandstands.
The highlight of the entire session is, of course,
the graduation ceremony conducted in the huge gov
ernment auditorium directly across from the Smith
sonian Institute. Playing always to a packed house
of department heads, relativl's and friends, the stu
dent is handed his diploma by the attorney general
with Director Hoover looking on. The good byes be
tween old friends are hurriedly said and the rLlsh to
the airports and train stations commences.
It is truly said that the most valuable long range
achievl'ment of the acaduny graduate is the personal
associations among peace officers of such widespread
areas. Correspondence never ceases and the flow of
professioanl information and knowledge continues
to travel across the nation and from over the oceans.
The national academy provides advanced knowledge
in the field of law enforcement during each session,
but its contributions continue to emanate through
the personal and professional friendships formed
among the proud academy graduates.

ON THE CAMPUS
In 1964 Fresno City College, with enthusiastic
encouragement and suppOrt from local law enforce
ment agencies, added to its curriculum a degree pro
gram in Police Science. Presently it is staffed by
instructors from law enforcement agencies with for
mal college backgrounds in criminology and many
years of experience in police work. Law enforcement
personnel is also well represented among the stu
dents. There are students from the Fresno Police

Department, Fresno County Sheriff's Department,
Madera Police Department and Madera County
Sheriff's Office. During the first semester there were
five students enrolled from our Department. They
enrolled at their own initiative and expense and on
their own time.
Law enforcement is one of the many vocations
in our contemporary society which require a con
tinuing education to keep abreast of rapid develop
ments and changes. And yet law enforcement of
ficers, like most other people, generaUy have families
and many demands on their time and money. For a
family man to go to school while working a full
time job is not easy. A cwo year college program
offers a much less formidable barrier than a four
year course. Frequently, practical considerations
make the latter next to impossible.
These men, others registered at Fresno State Col
lege, and others who have previously been enrolled
are to be commended. Many pay lip service to the
importance of continuing education, but the number
who go beyond talk is much smaller.

TRAINING, ACONTINUING PROGRAM
By JOHN JORDAN
Many different things can happen when a peace
officer places a suspecr under arrest. The suspect
may submir peacefully; he may objecr verbally and
arrempt co bluff the officer our of making the ar
rest, or he may atrack rhe officer. For rhis reason no
arresr can ever be considered as "routine."
The peace officer musr be prepared to make splir
second decisions CO fir rhe circumstances of each
arrest. He musr be cognizant of rhe law of arresr
and recent courr decisions affecring rhe defendant's
rights. He must know when force may be legally
used and how much. If force is necessary he musr
know how co apply it in order CO protecr himself
and his fellow officers as well as rhe lives of any
innocent bysranders and thar of the suspecr himself.

The best merhod of preparing an officer co meer
all of rhese eventualities is by rraining. Wirh this in
mind and in view of rhe recent increase in physical
arracks on peace officers, rhe Fresno County Sher
iff's Deparrmcnt during rhe pasr year conducred a
rraining course in defense ractics and an intensified
course in firearms rraining.
The course in defense ractics emphasized the use
of rhe police baton and "come-along" holds. The
firearms rraining course was in addition co rhe reg
ular firearms rraining program and offered insrruc
rion in rhe use of the shorgun as well as the re
volver. Both courses were raughr by F.B.I. Agents
and were very informative.
The regular firearms training program has been
increased wirh all sworn personnel required to shoar
once a month. Training bullerins continue co be
issued from rime co time.
Training is a funcrion of the Adminisrrarive Di
vision and is supervised by Caprain Harold McKin
ney assisred by Deputy John Jordan.

PATROL DIVISION
The Patrol Division is a uniformed unit of the
Sheriffs Department which is manned 24 hours a
day. When a call is received by the Department for
assistance, it is routed to the Patrol Division so that
they not only have the initiaI contact, but the most
numerous contacts with the public throughout the
year.
The Patrol, a unit of the Criminal Division, is
under the command of a Captain who is responsible
for its overall function. He delegates his authority
to watch commanders under him.
In order to furnish around the clock service, the
Division is divided into three watches. Each watch
consists of a Lieutenant, who is the officer in charge,
a Sergeant and a varying number of uniformed pa
trolmen. The watch commander is in charge of
Technical Services, Records and Detectives during
the evening and early morning hours.
When a call initially comes to the switchboard, it
is directed to the operations officer who evaluates
all the circumstances of the complaint being reported
by the caller. He in turn, through the Radio Com
munications section, dispatches the proper beat car
to the scene where the patrolmen contact the com
plainant and make the initial investigation.
The Sergeant is in charge of the patrolmen in the
field . He directs their activities and gives advice and
assistance as needed.
The patrolman is assigned to an area of respon
sibility called a bear. This is an area or sector marked
off by boundaries. During hi-s tour of duty he makes
any special investigations directed to him by radio
communication. When not answering such calls, he
patrols his beat, checking business places, industrial
areas, residential areas and known trouble spots.

DIVilSION
By: ART CHRISTENSON
The Detective Division, an investigative sub-divi
sion of the Criminal Division, is responsible for all
felony investigations in the unincorpOIated area of
Fresno County. This Division is headed by a Captain,
who assigns and supervises the cases reported and
detailed to 13 DeteCtive Sergeants and five Detect
Ives.
For the year 1964 a total of 2,292 felony cases
were investigated by this Division. The following
list comprises a breakdown of crimes and reports:
Homicides-9; Rapes-140; Robberies-lOO; Ag
gravated Assault-155; Burglaries-l,390; Grand
Thefts~210; Sex Offences-59; Bad Checks-169;
and Miscellaneous Crimes-60.
When it is known that a felony has been com
mitted, at the time it is first reported to the Sheriff's
Department, the DeteCtive Division makes the com
plete investigation. Many investigations come to
them after they have been initially reported to the
Patrol Division and a partial investigation made.

Investigations differ as to the types of crimes com
mitted. Basically the investigators are responsible
for evaluating the crime; knowing what evidence is
needed to prelient to the court; the apprehension of
the responsible suspects; and the recovery of properry
if theft is involved. In performing all this work it
is necessary that the investigator be well informed,
not only on the laws involved but also on various
court decisions bearing on the investigation of crimes.
Written reports are prepared and presented to the
DistriCt Attorney's office for securing complaints. H
further information is needed, the investigators are
responsible for obtaining it and then must be avail
able to testify in court as a witness for The People
of the State.
This Division also receives information daily from
all other law enforcement agencies throughout the
State. Speedy communications, close cooperation and
mutual assistance with these agencies are the hall
marks of modern law enforcement.

THE" HOW" IS IMPORTANT, TOO
In the accompanying article, the casual reader
might not give a great deal of attention to the state
ment that detectives must not only know what, but
bow to obtain evidence. This is an important part of
their work and tbe two examples that follow show
the need for keen awareness of the subtleties of the
law regarding seizure. They are taken from an ar
ticle on narcotics wbich recently appeared in a na
tional magazine (Life 3-5-65) .
A detective staking out the home of a suspected
heroin wholesaler sees him emerge with an attache
case. On the sidewalk, he meets another man, known
to be a pusher. They enter a parked car, sit for a
moment and, as the detective approaches, he sees
the pusher hand the suspected wholesaler a fat ma
nila envelope. The detective opens the car door, flips
open the attache case and finds it filled with a kilo
gram of pure heroin -worth at the addict level
a quarter of a million dollars. The envelope is filled
with cash. He arrests both men. Later, in court, both
men are freed. Recent Supreme Court decisions, rules
the judge, indicate that the detective's knowledge of
the suspects' background and method of operation
did not legally justify his opening the attache case.
Another example: Some time ago police raided a
New York apartment and seized six kilograms (13.2
pounds) of heroin-enough after repeated cutting~
to make 270,000 $5 bags. The haul indicated a well
financed, highly organized operation. Sophisticated
laboratOry equipment was seized with the heroin. A
man in the apartment was arrested. In court, police
produced the warrant on which the raid had been
made. But, argued the defense, had the warrant been
legally issued? It had been issued on the strength of
information from an informant, the police replied.
But was the informant known to be reliable? After
all, you can't go barging into an apartment because
just anyone says it's loaded with heroin. (The fact
that tne apartment did indeed prove to contain heroin
was not considered sufficient indication of the in
formant's reliability.) Had the informant ever be
fore provided information producing a conviction?
Yes, he had -twice.
But had those convictions been handed down at
the time the warrant was issued? In other words, was
he at that moment known to be reliable? No at that
time the particular cases on which his reliability was
based were still in court. In that event, the judge
ruled, the warrant had been obtained on information
80
from an informant not -at the time the warrant
was issued -known to be reliable. The warrant
was therefore ruled illegal. Since the warrant was
illegal, the raid was illegal and the evidence illegally
seized. Case dismissed .

KEEPING UP
By CHRIS FLAMMANG
In this age of rapid change and advance, of scien
tific and technological discovery, and of social and
political emergence, the necessity of orientation to
change is paramount to the recention of productive
policy, procedures, and methods . No matter the field
of endeavor, the problem of keeping abreast of new
ideas and practices was never more important. The
rapidity of change places an added burden upon
those presencly engaged in any given vocation .
Education and training do not cease with the pre
pararory know ledge needed ro embark upon a career;
but the search for such increase in knowledge as may
be dictated by the complexities of our sociecy, must
continue throughout che duracion of service. Those
persons who fail to initiate action which will lead
to their continuing educational growth are not only
failing themselves, but are also failing their area of
endeavor.
Th e foregoing premise applies ro law enforcement
as readily as to any ocher profession. Within th<:
broad field of enforcement, the need for continual

craining tends to increase in proportion to the degree
of specialization. Therefore, when it is found that
social phenomena diccates the establishment of a
spe::::ialized, <.luxiliary service, those officers assigned
to that service must accept che responsibilicy of re
maining informed in the changing laws, philoso
phies, methods, and concepts which will govern their
ability to perform cheir tasks with efficiency and ef
fectiveness.
L:rw enforcement's recogni tion of the need ro es
cablish specialized unics of juvenile officers pre
~uppcses che recognition of the need for specialized
training and orientation of those officers. While the
educacion and training of officers entering juvenile
wo rk may vary in che manner in which ic was ob
taine::l; and, while such knowledge may be enlarged
upon through experience, che basic need to follow
the ever changing pattern of juvenile enforcemenc
remains a constancly exiscing realicy.

"KEEPING UP"
As many departments are unable to provide either
time or funds for formal training of officers, it is
often a matter resigned to individual pursuit. This
manner of gaining knowledge allows for extremes of
variance. The need for consistency of information,
and for the distribution of such information, is ap
parent.
Prior to 1949 there were three juvenile officer
organizations existing within the state. All were au
tonomous, and were incapable of truly presenting a
program assisting all officers of the state, and any
strength of unity was non existent, Through the ef
forts of a few far sighted men and women a state
wide organization emerged combining the three re
gional groups and unifying them into a stronger,
more effective, parent organization. The California
State Juvenile Officers Association came into being
as the outcome of a meeting at Asilomar on No
vember 17, 1949.
The first annual training conference was held at
Long Beach on April 5, 1950. Since that time, annual
training conferences have been held in March. These
consist of three days of workshops and seminars on
current problems arising in juvenile enforcement,
presented by experrs from law enforcement, and other
allied fields.
The association, through its laws and legislation
committee, has introduced or has supported legisla
tion for the good of the community, and has vigor
ously opposed legislation that appeared to be detri
mental to our youth.
At the regular monthly meeting of the regional
association, programs pertinent to the field are pre
sented; coupled with the dissemination of new laws
and decisions affecting enforcement. Besides the
educational affect of these meetings, the opportunity
is also provided to become personally acquainted

with other officers, to share the mutual problems
which exist, and to exchange ideas and concepts.
The Fresno County Sheriff's Department has long
been actively represented through the participation
of the members of the department's Juvenile Bureau.
This participation has been at both the Central Re
gional and at the State Association level.
Capt. Larry Hoskins, formerly in charge of the
Juvenile Bureau, was the first member of this de·
patrment to serve as president of the Central Associ·
ation. He has been followed by Wayne Johnson (re
tired), and recent! y by Sergeants Laurene Thomas,
and Edward Margosian.
The need for training and orientation is keenly
felt by those officers assigned to work with youth,
and it is a tribute to the dedication of the juvenile
officers of the state that, through the contribution of
their own time and effort, they have devised one
method of assuring that they will be prepared for the
complexities of juvenile enforcement.

PROGRESS REPORT
Previous issues of the Review have mentioned the
reorganization of the Idenrification Bureau, and the
change of its tide to Records and Identification Di
vision. The need for such a step had been pointed our
by Nfr. Philip Sanchez, now Chief Administrative
officer of Fresno County, in 1960 when, as an analyst
on the staff of CAO Ernest Mobley, he had made a
comprehensive survey of the operations of the depart
ment.
As Mr. Sanchez had pointed out, the business-like
modern methods adopted by the Patrol and Detective
Divisions during the past few years created more
clerical work, and increased the demand for fast, ac

curate recording, storing, and retrieving of informa
tion. Recent COurt decisions regarding constitutional
rights were also a factor. Information the detective
of the 40's could carry in his head or record on the
back of an old envelope until the trial, then forget
about, must now be kept indefinitely, and muSt be
indexed and filed accurately, so that it is always
readily available.
Some of the specific points mentioned by Mr.
Sanchez as in need of immediate correction were as
follows:
I. There was inadequate control over the various
files. Since no one was on duty in the Records Section
at night, all record searches made then were by per
sons not intimately familiar with the filing system.
This resulted in many documents and reports either
not being found when needed, or being misplaced
when returned to the files.
II. There were tOO many files. Separate index
files for investigation reports and individual record
folders were maintained. Therefore it was often
necessary to make two searches instead of one in
order to locate the desired information.
III. There was no clearly defined line of respon
sibility and authority. Part of the clerical work was
done by clerks assigned to the Criminal Division;
the remainder was done by those assigned to the
Identification Bureau. One or twO clerks divided
their time between the work of the tWO divisions,
and the duties overlapped so that they could never
be certain to whom they were responsible.
IV. Time was being wasted by outmoded pro
cedures, duplication of effort, and keeping non
essential information. For instance, a long, elaborate
letter was typed for each warrant on which a mailed
notice was sent ro the defendant, including detailed
instructions for several ways in which the warrant
could be cleared. There were also sometimes twO or
three different places to look to find out what had
happened to a particular warrant.
V. Technical services operations needed ro be
updated. There was no provision for orderly dis
patching of field technicians; whoever answered the
phone rook the call. There was also room for con
siderable improvement in the control and safeguard
ing of evidence, and much of the equipment and
ways of using it were obsolete. For instance, there
were two darkrooms. Film was developed in one on
the main floor; then taken to another in the base
ment for printing.

A PROGRESS REPORT
None of these deficiencies were the fault of any
one person. They were merely the result of thirty
five or forty years accumulation of duties and meth
ods. Many good ideas and new methods had been
developed over the years. However, in many cases,
when a person had found a better way to do some
thing, he lacked authority to discard the old method,
so the task was done both ways. The major need was
for someone with authority to examine every detail
of the operation, decide what could be eliminated,
what could be kept but improved, what could be
merged with some related task, and what services
should be added.
When the division was reorganized and re-titled,
those made responsible for making the plan a success
I
were given the needed authority. At first they were //

seemed almost impossible that any significant imHE WAS CLEANING HI'S GUN
provements could be made without a substantial in
crease in manpower and working space. However,
they decided to give it a try, so they rolled up their
sleeves and went to work.
A complete book could be written on the problems
encountered and the solutions found.
Perhaps the most frustrating one was trying to
assure the other members of the department that all

operations of the department, and that in the long fc
run the improvement in service would make any
temporary inconveniences worthwhile. After a while su
those in other divisions began to understand and ar
cooperate, and from then on the task went more m
smoothly.
The close of 1964 marked the end of two years ar
since the gigantic task had been started. Those reth
sponsible were able to report the following progress. ti<
I. Twenty-four hour:, seven day a week coverage ad
had been provided for the Records Section. E,
II. The two separate main files, plus one or two th
smaller files, had been combined into a master index th
file.
III. A rigid chain of command had been es
tablished. Each member of the division had been
given a specific task Or group of tasks, had the au
thority necessary for successful completion, and knew
Cto whom he was directly responsible for its comd. pletion.
CllIV. All outmoded procedures had been either

discarded or brought up to date. All duplicate pro
cedures had been eliminated with the most efficient
method retained. Printed form letters were devised
ior us wherever applicable.
v. Technical service procedures are more closely
supervised and controlled. Evidence is securely stOred
and accounted for, and much of the obsolete equip
ment has been replaced.
The most significant point is that, by careful study
and planning, and thorough supervision and control,
these improvements were accomplished with prac
tically no increase in manpower, and without the
addition of a single square foot of working space.
Even more incredible is the fact that, in addition to
the improvements outlined, ways were found to add
the following services.
I. A file is kept of felons wanted by other police
agencies in California, and by some other States if
there are indications the subject may be in this area.
II. Crime statistics for the monthly report to
C.I.I. and F.B.I. are now accurately compiled on a
daily basis, instead of being done in a once a month
rush as before.

A PROGRESS REPORT
III. \X!arrant statistics are accurately compiled,
~lOd a rigid control maintained over warrants as
signed for service. Percentage of warrants served has
increased considerably during the two-year period.
IV. All old records have now been put on micro
film. Since one roll of film in a box slightly larger
than a cigarette package can hold about three thous
and documents, this has made possible the storage
of all records on the main floor, eliminating time con
suming trips to the basement whenever an old folder
was called for.
V. In every bperation of the department, as
many improvements as were possible, and some that
seemed impossible, had been made. Naturally, there
were errors, but for each error a lesson was learned.
A task of this nature can never be considered as
finished. The Records and Identification Division
provides so many diverse services that there will al
ways be room for improvement, and a constant
evaluation of methods and results must be main
tained.
The future provides an exciting challenge to those
who administer such an agency. Experiments are al
ready being conducted on the adaptation of electronic
data processing to the police records field. The re
sults so far have been more than promising. It is
predicted that within a few years, it will be possible
for a patrol officer to make a warrant or record
check, and to be told within a minute or two whether
or not the subject is wanted Or has ever been arrested
in any part of the State.
The potential value to law enforcement generally,
to the public it serves, of such fast service is obvious.
The eguipment is already available. All that remains
is for the state to coordinate and set up the system,
the taxpayers to agree to pay for it, and police iden
tification and records personnel to train themselves
to use it.

THE SILENT SERVICE -
The Civil Division
The civil division of any sheriff's department can
be compared to one's family physician. You don't
see much of him or have any lingering social con
taCtS with him, but when you are ill, he is the best
friend you can have. He performs a specialized serv
ice. Such are the reactions that a citizen may have to
this vital division. It recei.ves very little publicity, but
is forever performing a specialized service to the
public, to the attorneys, and to the courts.
The functions of this department are manifested

in satisfying the judgments handed down by our
courtS, securing pending suits through attachments
properly executed, and the service of summonses,
subpoenas, notices, orders, etc. Its functions are much
too complex to cover with an article of this length.
The division is composed of a captain, a lieutenant,
a sergeant, and six deputies along with eight women
who look after the intricate aspects of the clerical
work. An efficient and detailed accounting system
accounts for every penny received and its proper
disbursement. When one considers the fact that this

department is partially self sufficient because of the
fees that it collects, it is indeed a rarity in our law
enforcement structure.
The duties performed by this division, though of a
vital necessity to the individuals involved, are at times
quite depressing to the deputies. Certain heart break
ing cases are bound to be encountered that leave their
latent marks on the field deputies. Orders from the
Superior Court which direct the sheriff to take into
physical custody children in the care of one parent
and deliver them to the other parent are quite shat
tering to the nervous systems of all involved. The
field deputy in this division is frequently exposed to
violent emotional reactions.
A Writ of Possession commanding the sheriff to
place a landlord in peaceful possession of a dwelling
quite often requires the physical moving of the occu

pants and their belongings. Every effort is made to
make the moving as painless as possible. Neverthe
less, many pitiful conditions are encountered. The
fruits of ignorance, poverty, and neglect are constant
companions to the deputies in the Civil Division.
It is sometimes difficult for the average civil
deputy to get a feeling of satisfaction from such
assignments; but nevertheless, it is a job which must
be done, and if he does it to the best of his ability
and as painlessly as possible, the deputy can take
pride in the fact that he did his best.
Other cases require the repossession of personal
property such as automobiles, furniture, equipment,
etc. An individual would sometimes rather give up
his wife and family than part with his automobile.
Real property is also attached and sometimes sold
at a sheriff's sale in order to satisfy a judgment or a
lien. A case handled last year required the Civil De
partment to send two deputies to the Coast Range
Mountains near the San Benito County line to locate,
post, and eventually sell thirty-five asbestos mining
claims along with thousands of dollars worth of
machinery.
This division handled more than 12,000 cases last
year and case load grows each year.
Each case must be carefully scrutinized for its ac
curacy as outlined by the California Code of Civil
Procedure. Since our laws are constantly changing,
much study is required in order to maintain the de
sired degree of accuracy.
If anyone sub-department of our country govern
ment were required to produce a financial statement
for the purpose of showing the economic status of
our county, the Civil Division would be well quali
fied since its case load constantly reflects the local
business cycle.
Although the Civil Division seldom makes the
news, it is doing a job nevertheless.

The Fresno County Industrial Farm is a unit of
twenty-eight employees which functions under the
direction of the Sheriff. This is a minimum security
facility and is commonly called the Elkhorn Farm
because it is located at the corner of south Elm and
Elkhorn A venues. The Elkhorn Farm is staffed by
one chief supervisor, two assistant chief supervisors,
nineteen industrial farm supervisors, one food man
ager-jail, two jail cooks, one laundryman and two
clerical.
The inmates are assigned to Elkhorn for a mini
mum period of 30 days. During their confinement,
they are assigned to work crews performing neces
sary tasks there and at county facilities throughout
the county. Included are work assignments in the
Farm program, which has resulted in the production
of fresh vegetables for use at county facilities. Trees,
shrubs, and plants are raised by the inmates during
their assignments for use by the County Parks De
partment.
During the year a total of 182,989 man hours
were spent in the development and maintenance of
County Parks. This work wnsisted of the construC
tion of new buildings, tables, benches, water foun
tains, restrooms, roads and the planting of shade
trees, shrubs, lawns, etc. While developing the new
recreational areas, the inmates were maintaining
the old.
As the county population grows, new facilities
are anticipated with a corresponding increase in the
services needed.

Captain Conrad Spomer has re(ired after twenty
six devoted years to the law enforcement profession,
He officially retired on December 9. 1964.
"Connie," as he was affectionately called by his
fellow officers, joined the Sheri ff' 5 Dl:partment on
November 18, 1938. At the ti:Tl l" pf his appointment,
there were only twenty-seven I('pllties in the deparr
ment. It now has more than (\\"0 hundred.
"We worked twelve to sixteen hours a day seven
days a week when I first starred," stated the robust
looking captain.
"h's different now; Our hours are much better and
the profession has improved with changing times.
The boys coming in now are younger and have a
better education, With experience and training they'"
become better officers."
Spomer's advice to all new and potential officers
is well worth listening to:
"Don't pretend that you know it all. Listen to
your superiors who have experience and knowl<:dge
in crime work."
Spomer was promoted to captain in 1952, He
served as head of the jail before taking over the
Detective Division. His law enforcement career has
spanned the administration of three sheriffs. He was
born in Fresno sixty-four years ago.
He and his devoted wife, Amelia, celebrated their
forrieth wedding anniversary in 1962,
Captain Spomer and his wife plan to do some
traveling now that he finally has the time. His first
love is hunting. This is where he can put to good
use the new shotgun presented to him by Sheriff
Melvin A. Willmirth and fellow employees at his
retirement luncheon.
Good hunting, Captain, and don't forget your
many friends who have admired and respected your
wisdom and your vast knowledge in the field of law
enforcement.
AT EASE WITH THE EASEL

badge and gun for the brush and the easel. Don re
tired on a disability pension on Oct. 8, 1963 because

1, 1951 . During his career he served in the Jail, the
CourtS, Patrol, and the Detective Divisions. He was

The Search and Rescue Unit of the Fresno County
Sheriff's Department received considerable publicity
recently when this article was published in EDISON
NEWS, the monthly magazine of the Southern Cali
fornia Edison Company. The article appeared in the
March issue of the magazine which is distributed
throughout the power system and to many news
papers and firms outside its service area. The article
rdlects the fine cooperation that Edison employees
give to the Search and Rescue Unit in the mountain
area.
With the first melting of the winter snow in the
High Sierras the fish~rmen, campers and hikers of
southern and central California start making prepar
ations for their first excursion to the high mountaim
of the Big Creek area. Their thoughts are on the
golden trout and the tracking trails. There is no
thought of danger; no meditation of impending dark
disaster which can, and has, marred many a vacation
in the High Sierra country. For as any member of

Maintaining an accurate up-co-dare file on every
volunteer in the area, Davis has complete catalogued
information on each man, piece of equipment,
amount of training, skills, and his availablility. He
has catalogued foot troops, mountain climbers, snow
shoers, divers, communications experts; he has listed
every boat, jeep, truck and horse in the Big Creek
area. He knows where every man is, what they can
do and what equipment they possess to help them
do it. "We can efficiently call twO men with a row
boat, or mobilize the entire mountain," Davis says.
Davis is quick to point oue that the volunteers of
the Big Creek area are juSt that -volunteers. "We
never instigate any action on our own, other than
notify Fresno of a happening. We never initiate ac
tion, we stand ready to assist and to follow the
orders of our friends in Fresno."
Heading up the Search and Rescue Unit is Lt.
Warren Saunders, a veteran of many years service
with the Fresno Sheriff's Department. Warren is
experienced in this area and is ably supported by Sgt.
Bill Young, a man of vast knowledge of men ancl
mountains.
Assisting Davis in the performance of his liaison
duties are key Edison men living at Shaver Lake, Big
Creek 1, Powerhouse 2-2A, Powerhouse 3, 4 and 8.
Each key man maintains a list of each off duty vol
unteer in his section and immediately after receiving
a call from Davis ascertains the availability and sta
tuS of every man assigned to his section. "Literally
within minutes after a call comes in from the Sher
iff's office we can report back with a toll-call status
uf every employee who is off-duty and not scheduled
to work for the anticipated duration of the emer
gency," Davis says. "We are always hopeful, of
course, that very few men are needed -in fact, we
would be happier if we were never needed, but that
isn't realistic -but we can mobilize in short order
if the demand is there.
Three years after the formal organization of the
Search and Rescue Unit there is still the same chilling
feeling when the cry of "Child Lost," echoes through
the hills. But there now stands ready and willing a
dedicated group of men with the desire and knowl
edge co cheat death and tragedy in the hills every
chance they get.

WIVES SERVE
IN AUXILIARY
The Sheriff's Wives Auxiliary was organized in
August 1960, after a group of officers' wives realized
a need to become better acquainted. At the first
meeting the wives decided to serve primarily as a
Service group rather than a social group.
Service projects to date include an indigent funJ
disbursed by Sheriff Willmirth and a family emer
gency fund which is used in emergencies for officers
or members of their families. The wives also donate
their services for babysitting, ironing and houseclean
ing, when needed.
Each spring the Auxiliary sponsors a Pit Bar-B
Que for all members of the Sheriff's Department and
Road Camp and their families. In the past, these
have been held at Kearney Park; however this year
it will be held at the new Peace Officer's Range. Each
December a Dinner Dance is given, often with assist
ance of the Sheriff.
Since all wives of officers are not members of the
Auxiliary, money creates a problem as Jut's Jo not

wives sponsor sales at Cherry Avenue, Bake Sales,
and their biggest project, a Christmas Bazaar, usu
ally held the first parr of December of each year.
While the Auxiliary is composed of wives of
Sheriff's officers, several meetings a year are planned
to include their husbands.
Officers for 1964-65 include: Lydia Hoskins, Pres

CLOY ,IS PO'LIC 'E DEPARTMENT
The Clovis Police Department has grown with the
city and has earned a reputation for doing excellent
and efficient police work under the expert guidance
of Chief Thomas W . Higgason. Chief Higgason has
eighteen years with the department, starting as a
young pauolman working his way to the top.
Records in the department reflect the excellent
work being done. In 1964 there were 171 felony
crimes reported to the department, and of those
reported, 98 were cleared by arrest, which is ap
proximately 56ro. Of all crimes reported to the de
partment during 1964, 33ro were cleared by arrest
and 32 % of all property loss to victims was re
covered. This is a record to be proud of.
Chief Higgason attributes the success of his de
partment, which has fifteen employees, to the fact
that they are selected by Civil Service tests, Promo
tions in rank is also handled by this method, insur
ing the best gualified man for the job. He also attri-

butes its success to the fact that the average education
of the employee is two years college. A continuous
inter-department uaining program, plus outside law
enforcement schools help to develop the personnel
of the department.
The little town of Clovis, with a population of
2700 ten years ago, has grown to a city with a popu
lation in excess of 10,000 and an area approximately
five and one half sguare miles, bordering the City of
Fresno on twO sides.
The first serious assault occurring in Clovis this
year (1965), was an attempted rape and assault with
a deadly weapon. This occurred January 31, 1965
at approximately 0210 AM as a seventeen year old
girl returned from a date to an empty house. Her

PONDEROSA JUDICIAL DISTRICT
The name of the Ponderosa Judicial District has
no connection with the fictional ranch area in a
popular television show except that they were eoth
undoubtedly named for the same species of pine tree.
The district covers the large mountain area East of
Clovis.
Merle L. Ivie of Shaver Lake became the Justice
of Peace of the district on September 1, 1964. He
succeeded Archie Brumagin of Auberry who retired
on that date.
Judge Ivie is shown in the above picture in his
new court room in Auberry. Court had previously
been held in Judge Brumagin's home. Judge lvie
rented a building in Auberry upon being appointed
to his new post and remodeled it so the area now
has a separate court house.
The district is served by Constable Jack Sturgess
who also now has office space in the new court
house. He stands on the right in the plcrure with
Deputy Constable R. Q. Smith on the left.
They patrol the area in the 4-wheel drive station
wagon on the right.

By ELMER RODIE
Assistant Chief, Reedley Police Department
After 27 years of faithful service as Judge of the
Reedley Judicial District, Paul Eymann on January
Ij, 1965 relinquished the gavel to his successor
Charles Edwards. On December 31, 1964 in the
Reedley Courtroom members of the Reedley City
Council, Reedley Police Department and other law
enforcement officials were in attendance to pay their
respects to the retiring judge.
Eymann became Justice of the Peace for the then
eighth Judicial Township August 3, 1937 when the
County Board of Supervisors appointed him to fill
the unexpired term of Justice Rex Porter who re
signed due to ailing health.
While serving as Justice of the Peace as well as
handling his own law practices, Eymann soon inher
ited another job when Judge Gallaher resigned as
City Judge in 1937. The City Council appointed Ey
mann to this post. In 1948 when Orange Cove be
came incorporated the City Council there asked Ey
mann if he would serve as their City Judge, which
he did. Eymann's three duties were combined 1Oto

PAUL A. EYMANN RETIRES
one by the passage of a constitutional amendment in
1952 which created the present Reedley Judicial
Disrrict.
The retired Judge staered his venture in law work
after graduating from Reedley High School. He at
tended one year at Bluffton College in Bluffton,
Ohio, and studied two years at Pomona College in
Claremont. The next three years he studied at the
University of Southern California Law School, grad
uating with an AB and an L.L.B. degree.
After being admitted to law practice Eymann be
came a Deputy Disrrict Atrorney in June 1934, serv
ing under G. M. DeVore. On January 5, 1935
Eymann rook over the law office of S. L. Heisinger,
Jr., who became an assistant District Attorney when
Dan Conway, Sr. was elected DA for Fresno Coun
ty. Heisinger was later to serve in the armed forces
during World War II where he was captured by the
Japanese on Corregidor. He died in a prisoner of war
camp.
When Eymann made his announcement early last
year that he would not seek reelection to the Judicial
POSt, he said a stroke he suffered had a great bearing
on his decision, admitting that the job was a binding
one.
"When I first took over duties as Judge," Eymann
recalled, "I could call up the Judge in Parlier or any
where else and ask if he could take over the local
couer for a few days. However, within the past six
years the Chief Justice of the state Supreme Court
must make the assignment. Eymann stated in the
early days his court would handle around 600 cases
a year, whereas the COuer will now handle 2500 to
3000 cases a year.
Eymann, even though he may be a "Retired Judge,"
can still serve as Judge anywhere in the state in both
Superior and Municipal couers by assignment.
Eymann in 1950 was state presidenr of the Judges,
Constables and Marshalls association.
Upon retirement Eymann commented on the fol
lowing:
JUVENILES: I feel that it is wrong that the Legis
lature has taken away Our local juvenile cases and
handed them over to the Fresno Courts. We know
the issues of the cases and are afforded the oppor
tunity of trying to help the juvenile who is in trouble
a little better because we are in closer conract. It puts
too much of a load on the Fresno judges and it is
not fair to them in trying to rehabilitate the juvenile.
POLICE: I feel that we have one of the cleanest
districts in the state. I attribute much of this success
to our fine law enforcement officials, who have dont:
a commendable job. The conscientious people want
it this way.
Since retirement from the bench Eymann has
opened up a Jaw office in Reedley. Eymann said he
plans to hep busy with his law practice, handling
mostly wills, probates and escrows, as well as getting
his fair share of fishing and hunting in.
From the people of Reedley to a man who has
brought dignity to the Judicial office, "Thanks for a
job well done through devoted and faithful service
in the Cluse of Justice. Good luck and success."

Reedley Police Active In
Community Projects
Chief John Kroeker of the Reedley Police Depart
ment reports a quiet year as far as sensational crimes
are concerned. The overall crime rate in the city
showed a considerable decrease in some categories
and only a slight decline in others.
Traffic citations, public intoxication, petit theft,
and aUtOmobile thefts topped the police blotter dur
ing the past rear reports Chief Kroeker.
The department's suppOrt of worthwhile commu
nity projects is considered one of the reasons for the
low crime rate and general respect for law and order
in Reedley.
One of these projects, which is now in its eleventh
year, is the Sequoia Safety Council.
The Sequoia Safety Council was organized in 1953
and authorized to operate as such in Fresno County
the same year. The council has a two-fold program
(a) Ambulance Service and (b) a safety program
which entails safety in the home, on farms, and on
our streets as a broad description of this phase.
The ambulance service crew works in close prox
imity with the Reedley police department. The police
department acts as the receiving agent for all calls
for the ambulance. The dispatcher notifies the driver
and attendant on duty and dispatches the ambulance
to the requested location.
The dispatcher keeps a log of all calls, ie; time
and from whom the call was received, the time the
crew notifies the dispatcher they are rolling, time
of arrival of ambulance at the scene, name and.
address of the patient or patients, hospital to which
delivery was made, and the time the ambulance is
again ready for other calls.
The cooperation of the other law enforcement
agencies, police in other cities, constables, and high
way patrolmen is sincerely appreciated by the mem
bers of the Sequoia Safety Council Ambulance Serv
ICe.
Marlowe Frueh was recently appointed to head
the ambulance service as ambulance captain. He suc
ceeds Alex Gerhardt who retired after serving as
captain for six years.

Department reveals a continuing increase 10 the
number of cases handled and complaints received,
however there were no cases of a noteworthy nature.
The successful closing of most of the cases was ac
complished by the usual routine of methodical inves
tigation coupled with the high degree of coopera
tion with other law enforcement agencies that is the
hallmark of modern Police Science.
The Selma Police Department would like to take
this opportunity to extend to all law enforcement
agencies a hearty thank you for the excellent coopera
tion which has been given in the past, and which has
contributed to the success that the Selma Police De
partment has had.
Of minor interest, in keeping with the general
trend in law enforcement, the Selma Police Depart
ment has adopted, as a part of the service uniform,
crash helmets for all officers. It is a trend which ie,
highly desirable in offering more and better protec
tion to officers in the performance of their duties.

ILA W ENFORCEMENT AND SAFETY
ON FRESNO LAKES
By JERRY LAWLESS and CHET LOVGREN
The increase in interest and panicipation in water
spans as a recreational outlet has affected the Sher
iff's Department. The many boat owners residing in
the local area, coupled with the infl ux of recreation
ists and fishermen from other pans of the state has
placed an added burden of responsibility on the De
panment.
It became necessary to provide boat patrols on the
three most popular lakes that fall under the juris
diction of the Sheriff. The largest and closest of these
is Pine Flat Reservoir, located less than one hour's
drive east of Fresno. The lake is the result of the 420
foot high Pine Flat Dam and holds in reserve one
million, one hundred thousand acre feet of water.
The lake itself has 87 miles of shoreline, and on
week-ends and holidays in the summer months, as
many as 3000 people enter the area to avail them
selves of the facilities.
Each year, during May, a Sheriff's boat patrolman
and boat is assigned to the area. The duties of this
officer range from routine boat patrol and safety
checks to rescue assists and criminal investigations.
This officer receives assistance from the members
of the volunteer Sheriff's Power Boat Squadron who
aid in controlling boat launchings, and manning the
Pine Flat Tower at Island Cove. This tower is radio
equipped and commands an extensive view of the
lake, including the more popular swimming areas.
Due to the natural protection afforded the lake by
the high canyon walls, it is a favorite water skiing
location, as well as a noted fishing ground.
The season usually draws to a close in late Sep
tember. The officer assigned during the past year
was Dep. Jerry Lawless.
Fifty miles east of Fresno lies another of the three
mountain lakes patrolled by Fresno County Sheriffs

BOAT PATROL
Department boat patrol. Shaver Lake, a man made
lake at an elevation of 5,500 feet, is one of the more
popular lakes for both fishermen and water skiers.
During the spring and early summer months the
boating activity is usually limited to fishermen, how
ever as the weather warms the boating becomes pre
dominately water skiers.
The other lake in this area, patrolled by the Sher
iffs mountain boat patrolman is the beautiful Hunt
ington Lake, twenty miles beyond Shaver Lake at an
elevation of 7,000 feet. Due to the cooler climate,
colder water, and strong winds, HuntingtOn Lake is
not as popular with the water skiing crowd as is
Shaver Lake. However, Huntington Lake is consid
ered the best sailing lake in the state of California,
and during the month of July, Huntington Lake
plays host to several national championship sailing
races. The reason for the popularity with the sailing
enthusiasts is the prevailing winds that begin blow
ing out of the west at approximately 10:00 A.M.
daily and lasting until approximately 5 :00 P.M.

DO YOU HAVE PROPER
SAFETY EQUIPMENT ABOARD
111 August, 1964 this boat burned and sal1k at Pine
Flat Lake. Due 10 property safety equipment 011
boaI'd 110 one was injured. This boat was only one
monlh old and cost four thousand dollal'J'. Boating
Jatel)' can not be expressed 100 strongly. Insurance
replaced the boat, it cannot replace your life.
The Sheriffs mountain boat patrolman being one,
with One boat, but with two lakes to patrol, musr
spend his time where the need is greatest. As the sail
boats and fishing boats are least likely to violate the
boating laws, the earlier part of the summer is spent
patrolling Shaver Lake. Shaver Lake is fast becoming
one of the more popular vacation spots in the state,
due largely to the new camp ground facilities pro
vided by the Southern California Edison Company.
Shaver Lake is probably the most ideal lake for
water SPOrtS with mild water temperature and pleas
ant climate. Vacationers at the Shaver Lake area are
predominately from Southern California where the
population far exceeds the recreational facilities.
Most of the boaters using either of these twO lakes
are very conscious of the boating laws and safety
regulations. However, there are those who have no
regard for these regulations thus making it necessary
for the boat patrolman and his familiar white patrol
boat to be in attendance. Boat safety is the main ob
jective of the boat patrolman and safety checks are
part of the daily routine. Checking for such things
as ade<:juate life preservers, fire extinguishers, proper
exhaust and flame arrestors, boat numbers and li
cense, and registration. Safetywise the summer of
1964 was a good year for the mountain boat parrol
man as there were no boating accidents on either
Shaver or Huntington Lakes.

situated to detect fires in the near-by forest area.
Thanks to Mr. Al Plumber and the U. S. Corps of
Engineers, this facility was made available to the
Fresno COUllt)' Sheriff's Depclrtment for their opera

As the summer wears on and the water spores
activities increase at Huntington Lake the real chal
lenge for the boat patrolman begins. Providing ade
guate patrol for both lakes often necessitates moving
the boat from one lake to another tWO or three times
in a week.
Boat patrol is not the only activity to occupy the
mountain boat patrolman's time. He must also pro
vide vehicle patrol for Huntington Lake, investigate
criminal offenses, assist in search and rescue opera
tions, and police public functions such as the weekly
teenage dances. A typical day for the lake patrolman
usually begins at 10:00 A.M. from his residence in
Big Creek. The first two hours are spent checking the
Huntington Lake area, followed by a drive to Shaver
Lake where boat patrol activities usually begin by
1:00 P.M. If the boat is being used at Huntington
Lake the boat patrolman then remains at that loca
tion. Due to the large number of boats using these
lakes during the summer months, boat patrol is a
necessity until 6:00 or 7 :00 P.M. Teenage dances are
held three nights a week at Huntington Lake, and
on these nights, it's back to Huntington Lake at 9:00
P.M. On Saturday nights several hundred teenagers
and young adults are in attendance for the dance,
thus necessitating the presence of the mountain
patrolman until 1: 30 or 2:00 A.M:

of Mountain boat patrol during the past year was

They Should Have Stayed In Bed
By DAN F. CONWAY
Have you ever had a day when everything seemed
to go wrong? I think all of us have. September 16,
1964 was such a day for Manuel Aguilara, Robert
Enriquez and a third person, for this was the day the
trio chose to rob the Community National Bank at
567 0 Street, Mendota.
They had big plans and it was going to be, oh so
simple. First they would steal a car, then rob a bank,
and then drive to a field about six miles from Men
dota where they intended to meet the third party who
would be waiting with his car for a clean getaway.
Aguilara and Enriquez were up early that day-of
days to find an automobile to use for the robbery.

They stole a car belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Jessie
Smith of Mendota. Before they could get to the task
of robbing the bank, the Smiths saw them driving
the car and threw rocks at them. Aguilara and En
rilluez then decided the car was too hot to use in the
bank robbery so they drove to Los Deltas where they
abandoned the vehicle. They then walked nearly 5
miles to Firebaugh where they stole another car. In
their new car they returned to Mendota, slightly be
hind schedule but still determined to proceed with
their bank robbery.

The scene of the bank robbery where
eve rything went wrong (for the rob
bers that is), and the Sheriff's cars
which cwrived shortly dfler the rob
bery We/S reported.
"THEY SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN BED"
On their travels they had taken with them a
green colored pillow slip which they intended to use
ro carry the loot from the bank. During the commis
sion of the robbery however, when the bank teller
put a quantity of change into the pillow slip the
weight of the money ripped the bottom out of it and
the money fell to the floor. As one might well ima
gine, this disturbed them greatly and caused them ro
leave unexpectedly and excitedly. In spite of their
continuing misadventures, they did take with them
about $30,000 of which $1,119.50 was in change.
As they were leaving the bank heading out to the
field where they were certain their friend would be
waiting, their luck held true ro form -mostly bad.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith again saw them and recognized
them, even though they were driving the stolen car
from Firebaugh. The Smiths were therefore able to
give officers the direction of flight and a description
of their vehicle. On their arrival at their pre-deter
mined location where they were to meet their friend,
Aguilara and Enriquez were chagrined to find that
the friend was no longer waiting. He apparently as
sumed something had gone wrong and had gone
home.

while an unidentified lelevision pho

The two decided to abandon their get-away car
and set au[ on foor. The afternoon temperature had
risen past the 100° paine and after walking about six
miles, their coins became so heavy that they decided
something else must be done. One of them lay down
in a cotton field with the coins while the other went
ro the bighway and attempted ro catch a ride. Four
laborers stopped and were persuaded to take both
of them to a house in Mendota for $20. The laborers,
however, had observed the bank sacks which con
tained currency and returned to the cotton field to
see why one of tbe suspects had been lying there. At
that time tbey found the $1,119.50 in coins. They
immediately reported their find to F.B.I. agents and
Sheriff's deputies who were in the area.
Investigation by the officers revealed the full
name of Robert Enriquez but only the given name of
Manuel, the second man, was known to the officers.
Photographs of Enriquez and other similar-looking
individuals were requested from the Fresno County

picked four photOS at random from thousands of
piCtures on file and added the photOgraph of En

Manuel Aguilara was included in this group of pic
tures. The odds against this happening were about
seven thousand to one, but after all, that was juSt
about the kind of a day the novice robbers had been
experiencing.
With speedy identification of the two suspects
by the bank employees, their apprehension and al
most total recovery of the money was readily made.
A Federal bank robbery complaint was obtained
against Aguilara and Enriquez who were convicted
and sentenced to long terms in a Federal prison.
It seems likely that they will long remember the
date of September 16, 1964 and no matter what their
future endeavors may be, they will hope that so
much bad I uck and poor judgment will never again
be crammed into a single day.

PROTECTION OF CALIFORNIA
FISH AND WILDLIFE
On September 22, 1951, under the Charles Brown
Reorganization Act, a new department was formed
for the protection and enhancement of the State's
fish and wild life resources, the Department of Fish
and Game. Until that time the Department of Fish
and Game had been a division of the Department of
Natural Resources.
The department is self supporting, operating from
the sale of fishing and hunting license, commercial
fish tax, California share of federal excise tax on
fishing gear, firearms, and ammunition, and 50ro
of the fines for violation of fish and games laws.
The primary duty of California Fish and Game
Wardens is to enforce fish and game regulations.
However, game wardens are peace officers and their
work is guite varied and time consuming.

The wardens are trained in first aid and often
acminister treatment to injured boaters, water skiers,
hunters, and fishermen. Because wardens cover the
back country and remote areas, they are often called
upon by the Sheriffs Office to assist in search and
rescue work.
The Department of Fish and Game has its own
independent 3-way radio system, with a tie-in with
the local Sheriffs Office which has contact with
mobile units during night hours and on week-ends
when the Fish and Game Office is closed.
In Civil Defense, wardens have a definite job
of manning civilian defense radios, and monitoring
radioactive fallout. Each patrol car is eguipped with
radiological monitoring eguipment, emergency first
aid kits, and emergency rations. Wardens assist the
Sheriffs Office in any civil disaster.

Entering The Electronic Age
Law enforcemenc takes ano ther step into the Elec
tronic Computer Age this year with the inauguration
of the California Highway Patrol's AUTO-STATIS
projeer (Automatic Statewide Auto Theft Inquiry
System) . This service, which is extended to all law
enforcemenc agencies, provides electronic filing and
supplying of data on stolen and wanced cars.
Major enforcement agencies will be invited to in
stall their own facil ity with transmission lines to
California Highway Patrol's two computers in Sac·
ramento. Smaller departments can concaer the Fresno
office for assistance.
Records will be maincained for the currenc year
plus four years on stolen vehicles, felony wants, and
stolen identifiable parts. Recovered vehicle informa
tion will be maincained for thirty days and lost and
stolen license plate information will be maimained
for the life of the plate if capacity permits.
The system will have a capacity of 40,000 stolen
and wanted vehicles, 30,000 lost or stolen plates, and
30,000 identifiable parts.
This is not a system for the Highway Patrol but
is for use by all law enforcement agencies. It will not
be possible for the California Highway Parrol alone
to make this system successful. It will take thc whole
hearted cooperation and active participation of all
law enforcement agencies in the State if it is to
suCceed .

This move to combat car theft and lawlessness
with modern computers is in keeping with the CHP's
histOry of progress since it was created by the state
legislature in 1929. It was formed for the purpose of
enforcing the California Vehicle Code and all laws
governing operation of vehicles upon public high
ways.
The primary mission of the departmenc is to pro
teer the motOrist and further his safety.
The duties of the California Highway Patrolman
include handling road patrol and enforcement, in
vestigating accidents, assisting motOriSts in emer
gencies, rendering first aid, supplying information
to motorists, conducting traffic sa fety education pro
grams and assisting other agencies.
During 1964, with the patrol cars operating 1,
857,300 miles, the Fresno office of the Caiifornia
Highway Patrol investigated 4,000 accidents in which
123 persons were killed and 2,900 were injured.
During the same period 150 felony cases were in
vestigated, 48,000 citations were issued and 7-1,000
enforcement contacts of all types were made. 467
citizens were arrested for drunk driving and 402
stok n vehicles were recovered.
The accident figures above reveal a small reduc
tion, while the enforcement results refl ect an increase
uf 15 ;70 in arrests and 20 ;70 in total enforcement
concacts.

DOING IT THE
HARD WAY
By AL FLORES
The Fresno County Sheriffs Department is proud
to have had one of its former members admitted to
the California Bar during the past year. William A.
Smith passed the bar examination and is now a Dep
uty D .A. on the staff of District Attorney Clarke
Savory. What makes Bill's achievement so outstand
ing is the fact that he did it the hard way -without
the benefit of law school.
Bill majored in criminology in college, but did not
go into full-time police work immediatley because of
the low pay that peace officers were receiving. In
stead he took a job as a heavy construction laborer
on the Mammoth Pool Project some sixty miles above
North Fork in Madera County. While working in
the back country he enrolled in a law correspondence
course to occupy his spare time. He had no idea of
cecoming an attorney at that time, but the study of
law seemed a good way to prepare for a law enforce
ment career. He studied for four hours every night
and found it more pleasure than hard work.
The salaries paid police officers had begun to im
prove somewhat, so when he finished the mountain
job in 1960 he took a part-time job as a patrolman
On the Clovis Police Departmenc.. He realized that
if he ever intended to make law enforcement a career
he would have to make the change soon or he would
be too old to meet the age limits.
A short time later there was an opening for a
permanent position on the Clovis !Police Department,
and this became his first full-time job in law enforce
ment.
He felt that he could further his law enforcement
career if he could get into a larger department where
he could get a wider variety of experience. He
learned that a civil service examination was being
given by Fresno County for deputy sheriff. Passing
the written exam and the agility and oral tests were
no problem for Bill, but the physical requirements
presented him with a real problem -he was Y<I
of an inch too short. Exercise, chiropractors, and a
combination of other efforts finally enabled him to
hurdle this obstacle.

DOING IT THE HARD WAY
Getting a job with the sheriff's department was
more of a break for Bill than was first apparent. It
was a major factor in his success in passing the bar
examination. He had registered with Caifornia Bar
Association as a law student just in case he might be
eligible some day to take the bar examination.
Bill's first assignment as a deputy sheriff was in
the jail. Here he had an opportunity to get acquaint
ed with the kind of people he would have to deal
with in other assignments. He feels that his jail ex
perience has been a great help ro him in his present
position as a Deputy D.A.
Bill was one of those officers who always tried to
·learn all he could from each assignment rather than
bemoan his fate as some officers do if they don't get
the detail of their choice.
After leaving the jail he was assigned to the War
rant Detail on a temporary basis during the summer
months. After this assignment was completed he
requested a transfer ro the couns as a bailiff, so that
he would have more time available for study.
At first he rotated from court to court, but was
finally assigned to Department Two of the Superior
Coun under Judge Joseph L. Joy. This was a particu
larly advantageous assignment for Bill because Judge
Joy rook an interest in helping him through the
tougher areas of the law. He had an opportunity to
learn many points of law which would have been
very difficult to master through a correspondence
course.
Probably the most difficult part of studying law
for the bar examination when not in law school is
William A. Smith, form er deputy
sheriff and police officer, at his nell'
deJk as a Deputy District Attorney,
not knowing whether one's progress is adequate. In
a law class one can compare his progress with that
of other students and determine whether or not
greater effort is needed. Bill had a feeling of un
certainty during this period which drove him to study
harder.
Before attempting the bar examination, Bill de
cided to take advantage of a bar review course
taught by Richard Wicks in San Francisco. Out of a
hundred and fifty students he topped the class. The
California I3ar Examination is a three day mental
and physical marathon which eliminates many intelli
gent students by sheer fatigue alone.
Apparently his preparation for the bar examination
was adequate because he passed it on his first at
tempt, something many law school, graduates fail to
do.
In looking back over the long y'ears of study and
ordeal of the bar examination, Bill says that it all
seemed mild compared to the three months suspense •
of waiting for the results of the exam. This was three
months of being afraid not to study for the next
exam and of being too nervous to concentrate. This
wait was made a little easier by having his fellow
officers and court personnel making daily inquiries
of, "Have you heard yet?" Although it reminded him
of something he had just as soon' forget about for a
while, it showed him that they had a sincere interest
in his future,
Bill 's success should be an inspiration for future
law students who are unable to attend law school.
It also demonstrates the caliber of some of the men
who enter law enforcement.

After a smooth flight from Los Angeles, the jet
plane taxied to a stop at Haneda Airport on the
outskirts of Tokyo. It was the last week in June and
the rainy season was just ending. As I stepped out of
the plane, a gust of hot humid air struck me with
full force. It was a stifling sensation, ~nd I sud
denly appreciated the dry heat in Fresno which we
so often criticize.
My first impression was a feeling of astonishment
at the appalling crowds of people everywhere. Words
cannot adequately describe how it feels to be in the
largest city in the world, with a teeming population
of ten million. The traffic is almost terrifying. Jap
anese automobiles, most of them no larger than

American made compacts, travel bumper to bumper
cutting in and out of the line of traffic. The traffic
problem in Los Angeles is mild by comparison. Many
times I had close calls, but, surprisingly, during my
three weeks stay, 1 did not see a single accident.
Some vehicles have handlebars installed on the dash
board. I did not understand their purpose at first, but
I soon learned. They were for the passengers to
grasp so that he can keep his seat when the goin§
is rough.
The primary purpose of my trip was to visit my
aging parents whom I had nOt seen in over twenty
years. However, as a peace officer I was naturally
interested in the activities of the Japanese police, so
I spent a great deal of time becoming acquainted
with their organization and methods.
Before I left Fresno, Sheriff Melvin Willmirth
had given me a letter of introduction to the Superin
tendent-General of the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment in Tokyo, and this enabled me to obtain an
interview with this high official. Yoshikazu Imatake,
Director of the Administrative Division, whom I had
met eight years ago in the Bureau of Criminal Iden
tification and Investigation at Sacramento, California,
while he was on his tour there, introduced me to the
Superintendent-General, Bumpei Hara. As is the
custom in Japan, tea was served, and while sipping
this refreshing beverage, we had a pleasant discus
sion about police work and many ideas were ex
changed.
The National Police Agency
The police system in Japan was established 10
1872, not too many years after Sir Robert Peel or
ganized the London Metropolitan Police Department
and ten years before Al phonse Bertillon introduced
the anthropometric system of identification in Paris,
France. The Prime Minister is the nominal head of
the Japanese police. However, the actual administra
tion is handled by the National Police Agency
(NPA) which is headed by the National Public
Safety Commission. This commission is a parliamen
tary body composed of the chairman, who is the
minister of the state, and five members appointed
by tI e Prime~linister with the consent of the Diet
(Parliament) . The five members are selected from
citizens having no police background. Precautions
have b en written into the law to keep the five-man
commission strictly non-political.

The NPA is rhe cemral organization of rhe polICe

Bureau. However, in matrers of national importance,
the NPA takes a direct hand in supervising rhe pre

to the NPA are the Police College, the Scientific

q uarters. Seven Regional Police Bureaus are estab

and liaison among the prefectural police forces
throughout clleland.
The Metropolitan Police D epartment
The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) IS
the largest componem of the Japanese police force.
It occupies a 6-story V-shaped building in the heart
of Tokyo and faces the moat which encircles the Im

in the same year work was begun for construction of
Folsom State Prison in California, and two years

stations which are esrablished within the precincts.
Personnel assigned ro a police station range from 30

Under the police stations are 382 sub-stations and
826 police boxes (so called because they were at
one time small boorh-like structures no longer in
evidence today). These serve as a termini of police
stations. There are four types of police boxes depend

ro five officers are stationed at each police box.
Besides this close network in law enforcement,

Before World War II, the Japanese police were
noted for their arbitrary display of authority which
often was unwarranted. Their words were virtually
law, and their attitude toward the people often
brewed resentment and contempt. This is not in
evidence today. Not only did the saber which they
carried disappear, to be replaced by modern side
arms, but the basic concept of law enforcement has
gone through a significant change. Nowhere have I
seen such phenomenal transition in so short a period
as I have found in the Japanese police system.
Trained under a democratic principle -.lnd with thor
oughness in the use of latest scientific methods, the
Japanese police of today can be ranked among the
best trained peace officers in the world.

Training and Education
An applicant for police officer must be 25 years
old, and a graduate of a senior high school or its
eguivalent. Before he is accepted, the applicant is
reguired to take an examination and is subject to
strict character investigation. If he is accepted, he is
trained for one year in a police school in his district.
Upon completion of this training, he is assigned to
field service. After several months, he is sent to the
regional police school where he is given four months
of intensive in-service training. Thus, every police
man gets one year and four months of basic training.
Those assigned to investigation and traffic detail
received additional specialized training.
Every prefectural police department maintains a
police school where the recruits receive pre-service
training. Here also, in-service education and technical
training is given to police officers below the rank of
Assistant Police Inspector. Every regional police de
partment also maintains a police school where of
ficers who have passed the promotional examination
are trained for a period of four to six months. In
Tokyo, a Police College is maintained by the NPA
where Assistant Police Inspectors who have passed
the Police Inspectors examinations are trained. This
is the highest police training institute in Japan. A
cadet course designed for pre-service training of
graduates of universities and colleges who have suc
cessfully passed the police examination is also given.
In-service training is also given to police officers
holding the rank of Assistant Police Inspectors and
above. Dormitories are established within the school
campus to accommodate students from foreign coun
tries as well as those from other districts.
Health and Recreation
Every policeman is given a physical check-up twice
a year. If he reguires hospitalization, he is given
proper care at the Police Hospital or at a sanitarium,
both of which are maintained by the Police Depart
ment. Health resorts located at hot springs, lake
shores, mountains, and beaches are established for
the benefit of police officers and their families. An
officer needing guidance regarding financial matters
can seek advice at the employee consultation office,
where his problems are discussed and help given if
needed.
Housing
For the benefit of investigators and mobile unit
crews on emergency duty, there are 281 dormitories
which can accommodate 2,304 families . There are

Identification Section & Research
The Identification Section, is under the jurisdiction
of the NPA and is a vast center of information serv
ing all the police departments in the country. Finger
print identification in the Japanese police was started
in 1911, There are approximately ten million finger
print cards on file in this agency, which also main
tains a complete modus operandi file and criminal
records_ Several thousand fingerprint cards are re

country, The Japanese system of classifying finger
prints is based on the amended Roscher system which
was devised in Hamburg, Germany, The fingerprint
card used in the Japanese system differ somewhat
from the Henry System used in the United States_
In the Japanese system, impressions of the left
fingers are placed above the right, and the order of
fingerprint impressions from left to right are index,

and is said to be the pride of the Japanese police.
It has a staff of 104, fifteen of whom have doctorates
in their respective fields. Research is conducted con
stantly to improve methods and techniques to assist
the field investigators and technicians. Adjoining
the Institute is a criminal museum where evidences
are displayed inside show cases for viewing. There
are numerous wax models of the human anatomy
involved in crimes of violence. Skulls and bone frag
ments as well as a large collection of confiscated
weapons incl uding numerous knives and swords are
also displayed.
Crime Prevention Juvenile Division
In the Crime Prevention Juvenile Division, studies
are conducted to determine the cause of delinquency.
Means are sought for the solution of this universal
problem and to provide guidance to unfortunate
youths by helping them solve their social problems.
Policemen stationed at police boxes maintain a close
watch over juvenile activities. By working closely
with the Juvenile Division, questionable behavior is
often halted before it develops into a crime.

the constant growth and expansion taking
place in a progressive city, vehicular traffic becomes
a major problem, and Tokyo is no exception. The
police department in Tokyo takes a direct hand in
tackling the traffic problem. These include such work
as laying out and modifying traffic patterns through
out the metropolitan area, closing off streets to heavy
trucks, trailers, and buses during peak rush hours,
and enforcing parking regulations within the com
mercial area. A Traffic Control Center is established,
and from 126 stations along the highway connecting
Yokohama and Tokyo (a distance of 18 miles), traf
fic information is collected every two hours by radio
and telephone. If a bottleneck is discovered at any
point, the police station directly responsible for that
area is notified and extra traffic officers are dis
patched to handle the congestion. Closed circuit
television is used extensively to study traffic patterns,
and a close watch is kept for speed violators. In
some areas, helicopters are employed to report traffic
situations. As of October 1962, there were 800,000
automobiles registered in Tokyo and cars were being
registered at the rate of 10,000 a month.

In addition, the police sponsor the International
Police Photo Contest, an annual event open to the
public. As a service to the public, special patrolmen
make periodic visits to homes to determine whether
the homes are adequately protected against thieves
and burglars. They also advise the homemaker as to
the best method of crime deterrent, and keep them
informed of latest police regulations pertaining to
the home.

A VISIT WITH OUR NEIGHBOR
seen in such a short period. What impressed me
more than anything else is perhaps the structure of
the Japanese police system. With the National Police
Agency serving as a giant hub, and the uniform sys
tem applying to every police headquarters through
out the land, an efficient and highly flexible law
enforcement organization has been developed. It
must be understood, however, that the system as
developed in Japan exists because it best serves the
needs of a community unique in many aspects. The
facilities that I have observed are as modern as
those in Our departments. In some fields, especially
those pertaining to application of scientific methods
to investigative work, they may be ahead of us. By
and large, there was much to learn and the experi
ence I gained was very rewarding. It is hoped that
some day an international exchange program on a
practical basis may be initiated through which police
methods may be exchanged.
Ttldashi Nakahara, mperintendent-general of the
Metropolitan Police Department, is the 66th persoll
to hold this imporlant position.

Working For Child Safely
More children die by accident than all
childhood diseases combined. This is the
reason the Child Safety Council was formed
and this is the reason that Sheriff Melvin A.
Willmirth and Undersheriff James D . Long
headed up a local campaign of the council
last year.
Teaching safety to the child is the major
project of the CSC and to do this they dis
tribute approximately 17 tons of printed mm
ter a month from their own printing plant
and more that cannot be produced with their
facilities. These utilize advanced psychologi
cal methods and are designed with fun-for
the-child in mind .
Each year, new child safety manuals are created
for a continuing and graded program that offers new
challenge and new interest to the student. A monthly
CSC child safety poster is furnished over 5000
schools with an appropirate message for the month.
Another CSC service is the maintenance of the a
free child safety film library for the use of interested
groups. Folders are also supplied on the child mo
lester problem, school bus behavior, tips for baby
sitters and the narcotics problem.
The council is a tax-exempt organization head
9uarrered in Jackson, Michigan. It has been operat-
