Dear Friends,
We are extremely proud to present the 1974 issue of
the "Sheriff's Review."
The articles contained herein have been prepared to
better acquaint the public with law enforcement activities
in Fresno County. The readers will especially note the
many advances made within the Sheriff's Department during
the 1973/1974 period.
The Sheriff's Department has had to study, evaluate,
and supplement innovative concepts in order to maintain a
high level of protective and related services to the com
munity. The department is computerizing many segme nts of
its operation which will in turn provide a continued up
grading of services.
We are appreciative of the continued support from the
citizens of Fresno County, and we welcome your comments on
how we may better assist the community. We are well aware
that only through citizen cooperation and participation can
law enforcement achieve its many varied goals.
Thank you, ' . /." ./.. ~.,.,£./~~.~--

SAL V ADOR MOSQUEDA
Fresno Police Department
Salvador Mosqueda
On August 21, 1973, the community of
Fresno felt the loss of a Fresno policeman,
Sergeant Salvador Mosqueda, who was
killed in the line of duty while attempting to
help a fellow officer and apprehend an
armed robber.
Sergeant Mosqueda was born in Madera
and graduated from Kerman High School in
1940. He served in the United States Army
during World War II.
He then joined the Fresno Police
Department on October 18, 1947. After
spending five years as a patrolman, he
spent several years in the Detective
Division. On August 1, 1964, he was
promoted to Sergeant and returned to the
Patrol Division.
Salvador Mosqueda was a policeman's
policeman. He was never too busy, on or off
duty, to help his fellow man. He was known
for his participation in local community
activities. He had several letters of com
mendation from various groups, citizens
and the Fresno Police Department. He was
President of the Central California Juvenile
Officers Association in 1961.
The people of Fresno will miss Sergeant
Mosqueda, as a policeman and good friend.
He is survived by his wife Dora and sons,
Steve, Jerry and Ronnie. I

Robert HoutchensROBERT HOUTCHENS W. R.NIX
On December 8, 1973, the community of
Coalinga was saddened by the sudden dea th
of Captain Robert Houtchens, who suc
cumbed to a heart attack while on duty at
the Coalinga Police Department.
Captain Houtchens was born in Seattle,
Washington, and prior to entering police
work, pitched several years for the Port
land baseball team in the old Coast League.
He also pitched eight years for the Coalinga
Oilers.
Captain Houtchens' first entry into police
work was with the Bend, Oregon, Police
Department, where he served three years.
For the past 22 years, Captain Houtchens
had worked his way up through the ranks at
the Coalinga Police Department, where five
years ago he earned the rank of Captain.
Captain Houtchens was the per
sonification of a good small town lawman,
devoted to his job while still maintaining
sympathy and interest for those around
him. He could be tough, and he could be
compassionate for someone with a heavy
load of trouble on their shoulders. It was
said by many people, young and old, that
what put Bob atop the ordinary policeman
was the fact that "He Cared." There were
many young athletes at West Hills College,
short of cash, whom Bob helped out. He '
always seemed to have "a few extra bucks"
to loan. Bob never asked when they cO!lld
pay it back; but instead asked how much
they needed. Bob was not only a good cop,
he was also a good friend, be it in a patrol
car or on the golf course. Bob will be missed
by all, for no two men could replace one so
strong.
A scholarship for criminology students
from West Hills College is being established
as a memorial. Captain Houtchens is sur
vived by his wife Ruth, sons Armonde and
Bob, and a daughter Sharon.
w. R. "Dub" Nix
On December 29, 1973, the community of
Coalinga was stunned by the sudden dea th
of Sergeant W. R. "Dub" Nix, who suc
cumbed to a heart attack. Sergeant Nix's
death came just three weeks after the death
of Captain Robert Houtchens.
Sergeant Nix was born in Eldorado,
Oklahoma, on November 15, 1928. He was 45
years old at the time of his death. Sergeant
Nix entered his law enforcement career at
the Coalinga Police Department 14 years
ago. He was promoted to Sergeant five
years ago.
Dub was regarded as a tenacious and
thorough worker, and he was both a fine
officer and a fine person. His competence,
kind and friendly disposition proclaimed to
",nunno that he came in contact with. Those
of us who knew and worked with him will
long remember his friendliness and his keen
sense of humor. It was truly a pleasure to
work a shift with Dub, knowing without
question tha t he would stand behind you and
give you 100 per cent of his support.
Dub had just begun to make his farming
and ranching operation profitable,
something he had devoted his entire life to.
The entire community will miss Dub, the
cowboy cop who tried so desperately to
make his dream a reality, which was to own
and operate his own ranching operation. He
had worked so hard for so long, only to die
so soon.
He is survived by his wife Juanita, two
daughters, I Cinda Ramalho and Vanessa
and two

YOUR SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT
STEVE MAGARIAN by
Sgt. Steve Magarian
The County of Fresno has, over the past
several years, experienced a steady growth in
population. This has generated a commensurate
increase in demands for police services. The
population of the county in 1973 was 435,900.
Fresno County is one of the largest in this area,
with boundaries spanning 5,968 square miles.
Included are the desert regions of West Fresno
County, the fertile valley floor and the high
mountain ranges to the east. .
The county continues to surpass the majority
of California counties in the qualifications for the
position of Deputy Sheriff. The average formal

education among peace officer personnel in the
department is equivalent to two years of college
study. Department personnel attend both Fresno
City College and California State University,
Fresno. Many members of the department have
recently received their Bache10r of Science
degrees from California State University,
Fresno and many are working toward this goal
at Fresno City College. Administrators of the
Department have encouraged deputies to con
tinue their formal education and have made a
major effort to schedule assignments and hours
to coincide with school classes.

Expansion
The Fresno County Sheriff's Department has
experienced an expansion of services which has
increased the number of employees and inflated
the size of the budget required to opera te the
Department.
In 1973, following the passage of a county
charter amendment, the Board of Supervisors
resolved to consolidate the constables of Fresno
County into the Sheriff's Department. This
merger allowed the Sheriff to provide more
u~form law enforcement and emergency ser
VIces throughout the county and to provide more
uniform training for all county area law en
forcement officials as well as eliminating some
duplication of services. Fresno County was one
of the few counties in California still using
constables for rural law enforcement prior to the
consolida tion.
The Sheriff's Department has also moved to
reduce security costs by creating a new

Correctional Officer classification. This
classification is assigned to the men's security
facility and reduces the number of Deputy
Sheriffs necessary for its operation. With more
relaxed educational and physical requirements,
Correctional Officers received a lower salary
scale. This conversion to Correctional Officer
positions coincided with the remodeling and
expansion of the Fresno County jail facility from
a 400-inmate capacity to a new capacity of 700.
This expansion is still in the process of being
completed as is the conversion of Deputy Sheriff
positions to those of Correctional Officer
positions.
Structure
The Fresno County Sheriff's Department is
divided into six major divisions along with four
bureaus to facilitate the functional responsibility
and tasks of the Sheriff's Department.
In order to achieve a more balanced structure,
an organizational change was effected in 1973,
separating the Department administratively
into Line and Staff functions. Line functions
include the Uniformed Field Division, the
Detective Division, the Civil Division, and two
independent bureaus. Staff will include the
Records and Identifica tion Division, the Security
and Corrections Division, and two independent
bureaus.
The new organizational chart illustrates the
lines of authority and responsibility of all units
within the Sheriff's Department. The Un
dersheriff is second in command and Executive
Officer with primary duties as director of Line
functions. The Assistant Sheriff will direct Staff
functions within the department. (See chart)

5,000 member families in Fresno County believes
in low and order and commends the Sheriff's
Deportment in their efforts to this end.
New Functions
In August, 1973, the Sheriff's Department
formed a new Automated Services Bureau. This
Bureau will become the information center for
the Sheriff's Department as several depart
mental functions will be gradually automated. It
is under the staff supervision of the Assistant
Sheriff and is headed by a Captain.
Presently the Sheriff's Department and the
Fresno Police Department are jointly spon
soring a program to consolidate the Want
Warrants of both departments. This automated
Want-Warrant system will not only centralize .
want and warrant records but will also improve
the effectiveness of law enforcement through
efficient processing of want and warrant in
formation by ex tremely rapid responses to
inquiries. Information prior to the start of this
program is obtained through manual searches of
several thousand warrants, stored mostly at the
Fresno County Sheriff's Department.
Members of the Fresno County Data
Processing Center are currently assistmg our
eau personnel in the planning and im
plementation of the automated Want-Warrant
system. Their valuable assistance will ease the
transition into the new system.
Also included in the Automated Services
Bureau is the Intelligence Unit. This will in
corporate the I.C.I.S. project (Inter-County
Information System) , which is presently in its
third year of funding under a California Council
on Criminal Justice grant. The I.C.I.S. project
has been extremely useful to the users in the five
central valley counties.
Present plans include the Sheriff's Depart
ment being able to directly enter or purge in
formation from I.C.I.S. on a 24-hour basis. This
will increase the effectiveness of the information
system. Plans include this on-line capability to
take effect in the early part of 1974.
The Automated Services Bureau will include
all data processing programs as they are
developed. Continued

the age of 59 she opened a small cafe as the

from her family and a close friend. Mabel ren

1972, opened the Bamboo Hutch Cafe at 15064
South Elm Avenue near Caruthers at a location
commonly called Elders Corners. The only other
business establishment in the area was Elders
Grocery, located on the corner of Conejo and
Elm Avenues, a short distance from the cafe.
Despite her hopes, business was slow. But then

At about 3:20 p.m. Saturday, 23 December
1972, Mrs. Pugh's mother, Millie Leap of
Riverdale, along with a friend, stopped to visit at
the cafe. Mabel wasn't tending the counter, and
it appeared the cafe was empty until Mrs. Leap
walked into the kitchen area where she was able
to see her daughter lying in a pool of blood in a
small storage room in the rear of the kitchen.
The Sheriff's Department received the call at
3:34 p.m. and immediately dispatched a Deputy
Constable from Caruthers. The Deputy Con

of a beating, and requested additional assistance
from the Sheriff's Department. The Deputy
Constable then stood by to assure the scene
wasn't disturbed until investigators and crime
lab personnel arrived.
Detective Tommy Kerns was the next deputy
to reach the scene, closely followed ' by
Criminologists Dave Anderson and Dale
Morgan. These officers immediately instituted a
search for witnesses and evidence in an effort to
reconstruct the events leading to the victim's
death.
At 4: 10 p.m. Detective Sergeant Arthur Tabler
and Detective Arthur Christensen were called
from their homes to take responsibility for the
investigation. The Bamboo Hutch Cafe was
found to be a small building containing a dining
area, kitchen, store room and living quarters for
the victim. The living area was padlocked from
the outside and, after being entered, did not
appear to have been part of the crime itself.
It was immediately noted by the deputies that
there was no sign of a disturbance or struggle in
any room other than the store room. No service
had been placed on the counter as if the victim
were preparing to or had waited on a customer.
No dirty dishes were in the sink, no food was
being prepared for sale, and the victim's money
was still in the cash register. In the kitchen
facing a window to the dining area was a table on
which was found an open Watchtower magazine
with a pencil on it. Next to the magazine was a
half cup of coffee. It appeared that the victim, a
religious person, had been spending her time
prior to the murder reading the magazine and
underlining pertinent passages.
The store room behind the kitchen resembled a
slaughterhouse. The victim's partially clothed
body was lying on the floor with her head under a
chest of drawers along the south wall. She had
been severely beaten about the head. Sprays of
blood radiated upward from a five-gallon plastic

On the floor of the store room near the body
was found an assortment of tools including a
claw hammer with a freshly-split handle, an
undamaged claw hammer, screwdriver,
crescent wrench, metal hatchet and a grape
knife. The victim's false teeth, broken hearing
aid and glasses added to the litter. All these
items were splattered with or lying in a pool of
blood.
The absence of any sign of struggle in the cafe
made the deputies feel that the person respon
sible may have been known to the victim and
that she may have willingly accompanied him to
the store room prior to the attack. At this time it
learned that the victim had a business
partner who had put money into the bus~ness,
supplied meat to be used but whose name dId not
appear on any of the licenses. This information
was reinforced with the finding of an agreement
in the victim's handwriting in her quarters
detailing responsibilities for care of the cafe and
the division of the expected profits . .

up the business partner and transport him to the
scene. At 7:06 p.m. Sergeant Tabler interviewed
this man and immediately noted that he had
numerous blood spots on the front of his shirt.
This combined with the subject's unexpected
denial of any association with the cafe or
friendship with the victim left considerable
doubt of his innocence. The explanation given for
the blood on his shirt was that he had been home
all day butchering a hog. The subject was then
transported to the~ Sheriff's Department where
his clothing was tested and it was determined
that the blood was actually animals'. Other in
formation was obtained that verified the but
chering story and cleared this subject of any
implication in the crime.
On 24 December 1972, Dr. T. C. Nelson, Fresno
pathologist, conducted an autopsy on the vic
tim's body. Results verified that the victim had
been raped and had suffered up to thirty cuts and
blows to the left side of her head, apparently
administered from behind by someone using his
left hand to hold the weapon. It was believed that
the grape knife, broken hammer and possibly the
hatchet had been used in the attack.
The time of the victim's death could not be
determined; however, at 2:00 p.m. 24 December

Table beneath service window from kitchen to cafe,
with victim's magazine on it.
1972, a Hanford man telephoned the deputies,
stating that he had read of the murder and that
at 1:00 p.m. on the day of the murder he and
another man had stopped at the cafe. He
reported that they sat at the counter waiting for
service, then when no waitress appeared he had
stood up and at that time observed the victim
lying on the floor of the store room. No one else
was around, and the thought of a crime having
been committed never crossed their minds. Both
men felt that the victim was drunk and drove on
to Lemoore expressing the opinion that it was a
poor way to conduct a business. Another witn~ss
reported seeing the victim alive at 10:20 a.m.
that morning. These two times were the closest
that could be set for the victim's death.
A careful check cleared persons associated
with the victim of any implication, and witnesses
living in the area did not report seeing any
unusual people that day. The cafe's location on a
well-traveled highway, open to any casual
traveler, meant the suspect could have been 200
miles from the scene by the time the body was

found . The fact that rape had been the motive
rather than robbery made the deputies realize
that they were dealing with a seriously disor
dered offender who might be extremely difficult
to locate or identify but who was going to have to
be located to prevent any further such acts. On 26 ·
December 1972 a statewide bulletin was put on
giving the information relative to the offense and
requesting information on possible suspects.
On 27 December 1972 Detectives Tabler and
Christensen felt that they should make one more
effort to search the fields around the scene to
attempt to locate any possible evidence that
might give some clue to the identi ty of the person
responsible. At noon of that day Constable
Adrian White of Caruthers was informed of this
decision and was also advised that the deputies
wanted to check the farm workers pruning in the
fields adjacent to the cafe. Arrangements were
made to meet the Constable at the scene.
At 1:00 p.m. the detectives arrived at the cafe,
at which time Constable White arrived with the

information that on 25 November 1972 he had an
incident in that area where a Black farm worker
had entered a farm house, accosting the far
mer's wife, stating that he wanted a cup of coffee
and then attempted to attack her. This subject
had been arrested. Though the Constable did not
recall his name, the case had been handled by
Detective Willie Martin of the Sheriff's
Department, who was then contacted by radio
and supplied the name of Melvin Lister, who
lived in a la bor camp in Kings County south of
Riverdale. Records of the Sheriff's Department
indicated that Lister had served seven days for
the assault on the farm wife and was no longer in
custody. It was unknown if he was still in the
area.
Checking the fields around the cafe continued
until Detective Ta bIer struck up a conversation
with Mrs. Pearl Woods, who lived across the

Woods startled the deputies by stating that the
only Black subject she had seen in the area or at
Elders Grocery had been the man that tried to
strangle a Caruthers woman some time before.
Mrs. Woods then pointed out a field at the nor
thwest corner of Conejo and Elm A venues as
being the field where he was working.
With this information, Mr. Henry Gunland,
owner of the property, was contacted and
verified that Melvin Lister was presently
pruning vines in the field and had been so em
ployed on the day of the murder. The deputies
located Melvin Lister and another Black worker
standing around a bonfire heating lunch meat.
Lister was wearing a military field jacket that
appeared to have numerous blood spots on the
sleeves. The second worker complicated the
matter by also having blood splatterings on his
shoes and a large bandage on his head.
Melvin Lister was advised of the investigation
and stated regarding the day of the murder, "I
wasn't here, I was in Hanford all day at a party."

verified that he had been part of the work crew
the day of the murder. Lister also explained the
blood on his jacket by claiming tha t he had
helped butcher a hog at the labor camp. The old
hog butchering story was becoming quite
popular during this investigation.
Both Lister and the second worker were
brought to the Sheriff's Department for further
investigation. The second worker's story of being
injured in a fight at the labor camp was verified
through recortls of the Kings County Sheriff's
Department and the blood on his clothing and
shoes was found to be his own.
Lister then claimed that the blood on his
clothing came from trying to break up the fight
bet,,\-een the second worker and his adversary
but this also was disproved when it was found
that he had not been present at the fight. Since
Detective Willie Martin had previously dealt
with Lister he volunteered to assist with the
questioning. Detective Martin began the in
terview in the Detective Division of the Sheriff's
Department. During this interview Lister ad
mitted that he had worked in the field all day
Saturday with the other men in the crew and
stated that he had gone to the store at noon for a

owner of the store told him about the victim at
the cafe but denied that he had gone there.
Detective Martin carefully explained to Lister
that the blood on his jacket would be compared
with the victim's blood and that his shoes would
be compared with tracks found outside the cafe.
Lister then began to cry and admitted that he
had hurt the victim by hitting her with a ham
mer. Detective Christensen was immediately
brought into the interview and, in the presence of
both deputies, Lister began the story of how he
had gone to the store where he had been in
formed of the victim's need for business. He
related that he returned to the field, then went to
the cafe, where he found the victim alone. After
asking how she was doing, Lister told how he had
walked behind the counter, backing the victim
into the store room where he had made her get on
her knees with her head on a five-gallon con
tainer. He stated that he attempted to rape her
but the victim told him to stop, threatening to
call the police. Lister stated that he took the
hammer from the floor and bea t the victim. He
then raped her. He denied that he struck the
victim with the hatchet. Lister admitted that the
grape knife found at the scene belonged to him.
Blood samples were obtained from Lister for
comparison with the blood found on his clothing.

Sheriff's Criminalist Allen Boudreau determined
that the victim had type B blood, which was the
type found on Lister's clothing, while Lister's
blood was type A. The victim's blood was also
present on the hammer.
On 3 January 1973 a report was received that
on the day prior to the murder a young Black
fitting Lister's description was seen running
from the cafe back toward the field where he was
working . With this information Lister was again
questioned on 4 January 1973 and admitted that
he had been at the cafe the day prior, at which
time he had purchased a cup of coffee. He fur
ther clarified his actions at the time of the
murder by stating that when he first accosted the
victim he had been carrying hiS grape knife in
his hand.
During the investigation it was learned that
Lister formerly lived in Longview, Texas.
Detective Christensen telephoned the Sheriff's
Department in Longview, Texas and spoke with
a deputy who remembered Lister quite well. The
deputy recalled that he had arrested Lister for a
robbery committed in that area in April of 1969,
at which time it had been necessary to shoot and
wound him to effect the arrest. It was found that
Lister was wanted by the Texas authorities for
violation of probation and so, at their request, a
hold was placed on him to return him to Texas at
the conclusion of his California sentence.
A preliminary hearing was held in the
Caruthers Justice Court, at which time Lister
was held to answer to the Superior Court of the
County of Fresno on charges of rape and murder.
On 7 June 1973, at the conclusion of a court trial
and psychiatric hearing in the Superior Court of
Fresno County, Judge Leonard Meyers ruled
that diminished capacity did not enter the case
and found Lister guilty of first degree murder
and rape.
On 28 June 1973 Lister was sentenced to state
prison for his crimes and is presently serving the
sentence prescribed.

How Many More
Children Must Die?
by
Detective Floyd Poore
How many more children must die from
neglect or abuse, before the situation can be
corrected?
Each year the number of abused and neglected
children reported to law enforcement agencies
grows; however, there are no statistics to record
the number of cases tha t are not reported. These
children suffer, in many cases, irreparable
damage to their physical body as well as to their
emotional and psychological growth.
In order for these children to have at least a
fair chance at growing up to a useful life, it will
necessitate a concerted effort on the part of the
FlOYD POORE
citizens of the community.

by an alert and concerned citizenry. Some in

be indications of parents who do not care about
the health and well-being of their children. These
children usually suffer from chronic colds. Only
neglectful parents would allow their young
children to wander unsupervised around the
neighborhood day and night, allowing them to
find tbelr own amusement and entertainment.
If during the night a child screams for an
extended period of time, accompanied by yelling
and screaming by the adults in the home, there is
a very good chance that a child is being beaten.
These are but a very few of the circumstances
that result in abused and neglected children.
APATHY and the desire of non-involvement
greatly hamper the various agencies from being
aware of individual cases. If any of these
situations exist in your neighborhood, call the
agency of law enforcement in your area.
Children are singularly our most important
natural resource; without them there would be
no need for the conservation of the other natural
resources. If a child dies or is prevented from
becoming a useful productive citizen, then the
eltire society suffers. If you see a child that is
abused and through APATHY or non
involvement the abuse is not reported, then you
too will suffer and might be charged with a

A concerned citizenry can accomplish a
multifold purpose. They can be certain that
abused and neglected children are reported to
the proper authority. They can see to it by
demanding through their legislators that laws
are passed to be sure these children are
protected, and they can see that the agencies
responsible for the care of these children are
using all services available for these children.
It is the responsibility of each member of our
society to see that every child is given a chance
to reach adulthood and have a productive life.

jail for not more than one year or in the state

If the cheGk in question is under $100.00 then it
will be deemed a misdemeanor. I could go on and
quote other sections dealing with forgery, credit
cards, and possession with intent to defraud, or
passing or receiving forged notes, et cetera, et
cetera, but the main reason for this article is to
assist the merchant in a better understanding of
what to look for and how to protect himself from
being defrauded.
Naturally a merchant who accepts a personal
check cannot insult a customer and request a
look at their bank balance; however, he can and
should for his own protection demand proper
identifica tion.
1. Demand a proper California driver's
license, which bears a picture of the subject, not
an interim driver's license which is nothing more
than a receipt, and could have anyone's name on
it. These cannot be checked.
2. If in doubt also ask for one or more credit
cards bearing the subject's signature.
Do not accept military identification cards
or Social Security cards as it is virtually im
possible to trace such items, and the time
element involved is prohibitive.
The most important thing is to know your

maker or endorser.
Let's take a look at what happens when a check
bounces on a merchant, and he turns to the law
for help. First the check is returned from the
bank stamped account closed, or insufficient
funds. Upon receiving the check from the bank
the merchant is expected to make every effort to
contact the issuer of the check, and his efforts
should be noted on the proper forms which are
obtainable at the law enforcement agency in the
respective area . After he has expended all
possibilities, the check is turned over to the
proper authority for criminal action. On receipt
of the check the bank is contacted and a request
is placed for information regarding the suspect's
account. Prior to November, 1971, the banks
were reluctant to reveal any information without
a court order. The law now states that any bank
or lending institute cannot be held liable for
information turned over to a law agency, and if
the information received by the agency is made
known to anyone outside of the investigating
officers, they are liable for a fine and im
prisonment.
After receiving the information requested it is
the duty of the investigating deputy to determine
if intent to defraud can be proven. There are
times when legitimate citizens may have a mix

up in their bank account and there was no intent
to actually defraud on their part, and this is wha t
must be de.termined by the investiga ting deputy.
We are dealing, however, with the subject who
needs money, and knows that he can cash a
check for X number of dollars and then hope tha t
he can stall off the victim on collection. If, from
the bank statement of the suspect, it can be
proven that he had knowledge at the time that he
did not have suffjcient funds to cover the check
or that the account was closed at the time he
wrote the checks, then the District Attorney is
consulted regarding a criminal complaint
against the suspect.
When the District Attorney reviews the case it
is his responsibility to decide if a criminal com
plaint will be issued or perhaps the suspect will
be cited to the District Attorney to show cause

why a complaint should not be issued.
It should be remembered that a law en
forcement agency is not a collection agency, and
if the victim does not wish to file a criminal
complaint then he must handle the matter
himself, or turn the check over to a bonafide
collection agency. It is also requested and ex
pected of the victim to make all possible a t
tempts to contact the suspect and obtain
restitution if possible. All actions taken by the
victim should be noted on the proper forms so as
to expedite the case and eliminate duplication by
the investigating deputies.
If after failing in all a ttempts to obtain
restitution, and the victim wants to file a
criminal complaint, he should do so immediately
with the proper agency.
In the matter of PC 470, Forgery, where the
check has been stolen the victim should notify
the police or Sheriff's Department right away. It
is common practice for a burglar to attempt to
cash stolen checks in the form of payroll checks
over the weekend, as the business on which the
check has been drawn is usually closed and they
cannot be checked, or the burglary may not be
discovered until the business is opened the
following week. .

If at any time there is any doubt on the part of
a merchant as to whether a payroll check or
business-type check is any good, he should at
tempt to contact the business or the proper police
agency to see if the checks have been reported as
stolen. If this is not possible, and he still takes the
check he should obtain every bit of identification
he can, also have a clerk attempt to follow the
suspect and obtain a license number and
description of the vehicle the suspect leaves in.
The merchant should bear in mind how many
cans of beans, corn or whatever he must sell at
one or two cents a profit per can to make up for
the loss of a hundred or more dollars on a forged
check due to his laxity in protecting himself.
In conclusion it should be noted that money
orders are a favorite source of income for the
criminal whether they are stolen money orders
or purchased for a small amount and then raised
with the help of a ball point pen. The accepter of
such items should look at them closely, and if in
doubt refuse to accept them, and again if the
suspect leaves attempt to gain all information
which may be helpful to the investigating
deputy. The citizen is not expected to jeopardize
his safety by attempting to hold a suspect;
however, he can be instrumental in the ap
prehension of the suspect through his efforts and
diligence in obtaining as much information as
possible.
Remember a deputy is not a magician and
cannot pull names of suspects out of a hat. He
needs the help you can give him. With your
cooperation your losses can be greatly reduced.
Protect yourself at all times.

Beware of the Purse-Snatcher
Itis a deplorable age we live in, always having
to watch out for criminal acts such as rape, car
theft, house burglary, etc. The list is endless.
Sadly there is another contemptible crime all wom~n should be aware of: purse snatching.
Purse snatchers come in all sizes and ages.
Most often, the purse snatcher is a young man.
But there are women purse snatchers too. They
like to pick on elderly women because they can
easily knock them down, grab the purse, and
run. But they will snatch a purse anywhere, from
any woman, if the opportunity arises. Favo~ite
haunts of purse snatchers are theaters, trams,
buses, restaurants, department stores, and other
places where women are apt to be careless about
where and how they set their purses down.
If you're ever confronted by a purse snatcher,
let him have your purse. Resisting may only get
you beaten up, stabbed, or shot. The contents of
your purse are not worth it. Don't be like the
forty-three-year-old woman in Dallas, Texas,
who was confronted by a male purse sna tcher in
a hospital parking lot.
"Lady, 1 want that purse," he said.
"No, I need my purse," she replied. "I have all
my personal belongings in it and need it. If you
get my purse, you are going to have to kill me. "

He then backed away, pulled out a gun, and
shot the woman three times in the head., took her
purse, and ran.
Eliminate the urge to resist giving up your
purse if you're in such a circumstance. Do not
carry a lot of money and valuables in it when you
go out.

Many people think of a theft as only a theft, not
realizing that many
specialists. Most people also have heard of the
different types of thefts, such as a residence or
business burglary or armed robbery of a person
or business, but these are the most common of
crimes and are the ones that are usually seen on
television news or in the newspapers. There are
many other types of thefts not generally in the
or known to many people other than the
victim.
One of these is the theft of copper wire, usually

crime. Occasionally the so-called amateur will
also venture into this field. The frequency of this
type of offense depends mostly on the price of
copper on the market.
In most cases the public utilitiy companies,
such as Pacific Gas and Electric or Pacific
Telephone, are the victims, but also railroads,
large ranches, or industrial plants will become
victims. This type of specialized thief i~ one o(

the hardest to apprehend due to the nature of his
crime and the fact he leaves little in the way of
clues for the investigator. He usually works in
the dark of night and in remote areas away from
concentrations of people or communities.
Frequently his theft is not discovered im
mediately because the victim does not have a
present need for the equipment served by the
copper wire lines or does not have occasion to
visit these remote areas until the equipment is
needed. An irrigation pump or other equipment
is only used at certain times of the year.
The theft of copper wire can be very dangerous
for the thief because most of the thefts are
committed against the local electric company.
The electricity in these lines is very powerful and
dangerous and can electrocute a person or
seriously injure them. The copper wire thief
knows this and usually has a working knowledge
of the electric utility's lines. He can be very
efficient and creative in his ways and means of
removing the wires from their poles or struc
tures. This fact has been proven many times in
recent years by the accumulation of homemade
tools taken from these offenders when they were

atmospherics incorporated
arrested. Some of the tools were so crude and
dangerous that utility employees cringe and
shudder when shown the tools and find it hard to
believe the thief was not killed when cutting
through wire containing live electricity. Most of
the lines cut by this type of thief contain 12,000
volts of electricity, some even more, and some as
little as 500 volts. Even a small heater in a family
bathroom has caused many deaths by falling into
the bathtub while connected to only 120 volts of
electricity, so the thief is either very
knowledgeable about his specialty or very lucky.
There are several documented cases where a
thief has been found at the crime scene lying
dead at the bottom of an electric pole or under an
electric line, holding a crude non-insulated
homemade cutting tool. But there are many
cases on record where the thief was very ef
ficient in creating special tools for cutting into
live electric lines without danger to himself.
These are the ones who can be classed as
professionals.
Often when the investigator arrives, he can
immediately see it is the work of a professional.
Very little evidence is left at the scene. The thief

can be very proficient in disposing of the wire,
knowing the unscrupulous scrap metal dealers
who will buy his merchandise. Sometimes he will
haul it many miles to a void suspicion when
disposing of it. Recently a gang was ap
prehended who attempted to dispose of the stolen
wire by hauling it approximately 1,000 miles to a
large city in another state in rental truck vans.
This group consisted of seven men and several of

Even those who seem to be most successful in
this type of crime will eventually be arrested and
pay for th~ir crimes. If this gang had used the
same amount of effort and time on legitimate
jobs or occupations, they could have realized
much more than the $100,000, but they preferred
the so-called easy way. If they were to calculate
the amount of time and labor spent on each job
and the amount of time spent in jail or prison,
they would find they have been working for about
50 cents per hour. This is even less than the
minimum paid by law to most common laborers.
Specialist investigator jobs have necessarily
been created and developed to combat this type

We are very fortunate in Fresno County and in
the Central Valley, having skilled investigators
both in law enforcement and the public utilities,
such as Pacific Gas and Electric and Pacific
Telephone. Investigators' meetings and
seminars are condu~ted often to keep abreast of
both the suspects coming into this field and the
various new methods being used. Information is
passed daily from one agency to another
throughout the state so investigators may be
aware of the identity of suspects and their
movements. The public utility companies have
been most cooperative in all phases of in
vestigations and in sponsoring meetings or
seminars.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the major
victim in the wire theft cases, is most fortunate

immediately employed by Pacific Gas and
Electric Company in the same capacity. Of
course the cooperation between his company and
law enforcement is of the best, due to his
knowledge of the type of cases and his
acquaintance with all the special investigators in
law enforcement. His knowledge has been used
at many schools, meetings, and seminars for law
enforcement personnel to qualify them as
specialists or investigators in this field. Without
him and his company's cooperation, law en
forcement in the Central Valley would not have
the high level of knowledge it enjoys at the

riminals Fear Undercover Squad
by Editor
The story you are about to read is a true story.
For obvious reasons no names will be used nor
will the size of this select group of crime
specialists be revealed.
Due to the rapidly increasing ra te of
burglaries in the Metropolitan area the Fresno
County Sheriff's Department organized a two
month experiment in order to develop effective
methods to combat this high burglary rate.
Limited funds were available, which were taken
from other areas in the Department. The
program could only be sustained for eight weeks.
In early 1973, the Sheriff's Department im
plemented a small, highly mobile and fast
moving plain-clothes undercover squad. Or
dinary vehicles were rented and com
munications systems were furnished. The hours
the men worked were always changing, thereby
giving the appearance the squad was always on
the streets. The use of the county computer was
made available to the squad with nightly in
formation being fed into it.

The objective of the program was to reduce
burglaries by keeping a constant surveillence on
known burglars, keeping up-to-date information
on the suspected burglars; vehicles, acquain
tances and places where they congregate.
Records were kept as to where the stolen goods
were being sold and recovered.
The results were very impressive, The
burglary rate in the control areas dropped by 41
per cent while increasing by 15 per cent in other
areas. In the control area most other crimes
seemed to drop while the squad was on the
streets. Patrol units began to increase their rate
of burglary arrests while the Detective Division
was solving more cases.
The l'easons for the increase in arrests and the
drop in the burglary rate was due to the burglars
being forced to look back over their shoulders,
because they did not know what the squad looked

like or when they might appear. The burglars
were forced off their routine to support their
drug habits. Their methods changed. They were
forced to take chances. Several arrests were
made by the squad and cases solved because the
squad was able to work undetected. When
arrests were not made, the informa tion was still
fed into the computer. The criminals knew that a
special squad was in the county and they were
being watched closely. The word went out
quickly on the criminals' grapevine.
-Here are some of the squad's experiences:
The squad went to work in a control area with a
high burglary rate in the Northwest
Metropolitan area. At first, the squad worked the
evening hours. A heavy concentration of
juveniles was observed in the area, in the late
night hours. Drugs, alcohol and expensive cars
were prevalent. The first night out, one of the
deputies observed a burglary of a garage in
progress. The other deputies moved into the area
undetected. A patrol unit was requested and the
arrests were made of three juveniles. The
property taken was recovered.
Later that night, several groups of juveniles
were observed roaming the streets. Some had
alcohol in their possession. A couple of large
groups were broken up in front of local stores.
The squad called in the pa trol units on each
occasion. The juveniles began to wonder how the
Sheriff's Department was now seeming to be
everywhere.
The next two evenings the juvenile activity
decreased sharply as the word spread through
the schools in the area. However, several young
adults were observed driving their vehicles in
the residential areas. Patrol units made severa}
.. vehicle stops for the squad. These vehicles ap
peared to be suspicious in some way. Some of the
persons in these vehicles were legitimate but
others were known burglars casing the area.
Some arrests were made for criminal offenses
and pertinent information was compiled for the
computer. Some patterns were soon unveiled
from this information.
By the end of the first week, due to the removal
of the juveniles, it was apparent that burglary
offenses as well as other crimes were in a
downward spiral, especially those of malicious
mischief. The curfew law was strictly enforced.
The squad switched hours and it was a new
problem all over. Most people were legitimate
for the area, so now came the task of separating
the individuals from outside of the area. The
weekends increased the problem with so many
people outside in their yards.
Late one afternoon, the radio broke the silence
:to say that one deputy had observed something 76

suspicious and was requesting a backup_
Another deputy responded. They set up to wa tch
three individuals who were in a front yard. A few
minutes later came their break. One subject
stood at the curb by a vehicle while the other two
went into a garage. The subject standing at the
curb was a lookout. Both deputies went un
detected in their plain vehicles which were only a
half block away. The two subjects emerged from
the garage carrying new tires. After placing
the new tires in the trunk of their vehicle, two of
the subjects drove off in the vehicle. A patrol unit
was requested to make a stop on the vehicle. This
observation led to the arrests of the subjects and
to the solving of at least two service station
burglaries.
Another deputy observed two males at
tempting to steal gas from a vehicle parked at
the side of a house in broad daylight. The arreSts
were made. The suspects had long criminal
records. The computer revealed the suspects'
vehicle had been observed in the control area
before. It later turned out these men were
suspects in burglaries and thefts in the area.

and pedestrian checks in the control area, the
word was out. The Sheriff's Department has a
new concentrated program to reduce burglaries.
The criminals have a very good grapevine. A
drastic drop in known criminals in the area was
observed.
The persons who came in contact with the,
squad, who checked out okay, were very in
terested in the new program after our function
was explained to them. Most were very happy to'
see their person and property being better
protected. The citizen found he now could see
some type of action take place as soon as he
called the Department. The reported situation
was checked out in minutes and the citizen
contacted with some satisfaction. Many more
citizens began calling the Department to report
anything suspicious.
One night in the third week, a deputy observed
a vehicle casing a large house with many
vehicles parked in front of it. It was obvious a
party was in progress. The squad moved in to
watch. One subject exited the vehicle down the
street. The vehicle drove off. The subject ap
proached the vehicles parked at the curb. He
slowly checked each car and looked inside. It
appeared the subject was about to attempt to
break into one vehicle when a guest appeared on

the front porch. The subject ran and met the
second subject in the vehicle down the street.
This vehicle was stopped down the street. A
warrant and record check were made on both
subjects. Neither had an outstanding warrant,
but both had long criminal records. Again in
formation was compiled for the computer.
Having no cause to arrest the subjects they were
released. The squad knew it had just missed a
burglary in progress, but we knew they would
strike again. Next time the squad would catch
them.
Statistics showed a reduced burglary rate in
the control area but an increase in other areas. It
was apparent the squad was moving the burglars
to other areas. So it was decided to let up on the
control area and move into another high
burglary area a few hours each watch. The
second area was on the east side of the
Metropolitan area.
Hours were again changed. For a couple of
hours, the squad went to the main control area at
the beginning of the wa tch. Then it would con
centrate on the second area.
Immediately the same suspects who were
observed in the main control area appeared in
the second area. Again, patrol units were
requested to make the vehicle stops or check
suspicious activities. Some arrests resulted and
the criminals were still wondering how they
were observed. In the next week several ob
servations of criminal activity were made and
the information fed into the computer. The
computer began to feed the squad information on
high priority burglary areas and likely times
they would occur.
~ A nice bit of detective work was done by one of
the deputies one afternoon. The deputy observed
two juveniles walking down the street. One
subject was carrying a violin case. As the deputy
passed, he noticed the juvenile was not carrying
the violin case very gently like a subject who
normally handles a violin. The deputy circled

back and positioned his vehicle so that as the two
juveniles passed he could get a better look at
them. As they passed, the deputy observed the
violin case' to be partially covered with dust at
one end like it had just been removed from
storage. The deputy struck up a conversation
with the juveniles. Neither juvenile played the
violin. Both juveniles were detained and
separated. In a few minutes the story came out.
The Juveniles had just burglarized a garage
nearby and figured to sell the violin.
During the fifth week the squad was told tha t,
due to the lack of funds, the program would
definitely end at the end of the eighth week.
However, the Department had decided to expand
the program while it lasted. The squad swung
into action on a greater level. Now the squad
would move in on all crimes and make their own
arrests. The control areas were continued, but
with greater latitude.
The techniques changed. The squad would hit
an area for a few minutes and then move on.
Again, known burglars were stopped. Most were
already aware of the presence of a different
breed of crime fighter on the streets of Fresno.

They believed the squad was in cars, pickups, on
motorcycles and foot. One suspect commented,
"You guys are all over and coming out of the
trees."
During the last three weeks the squad was
averaging two arrests a watch. The Patrol
Division was catching burglars in increasing
numbers on all watches. It seemed that the
previous five weeks had thrown the addicted
burglars off theIr schedules. They must steal to
support their narcotics addiction. Daytime
specialists were being forced, by fear of ap
prehension from the squad, to work different
hours than they were used to. They were having
trouble moving with the stolen goods, because
they didn't know when or where the squad would
strike. Increased pressure was placed on fences
(people who buy stolen goods to sell for profit) in
the area. Every criminal was feeling the
pressure.
In the evening hours, a couple of deputies
would move to a known area for burglars and
narcotics users to congrega teo It was obvious
from the start, that certain persons had a pur
pose in the area and would come and go within
ten minutes at most. Also obvious was the fact
that a large percentage of the subjects would

spend a couple of hours in and around the area. A
steady stream of vehicles was coming and going.
Many subjects would just stand around. It was
discovered that a large percentage of those
visiting the area were known addicts with
burglary records to support their habits.
Observed at this location nightly was a known
drug pusher. The squad nicknamed this pusher
"Candyman." The Candyman was observed
making several drug transactions over a period
of time. He is now in prison. After these tran
sactions would occur, a deputy would follow the
suspect to see where they went. These suspects
usually went to one of the nearby restrooms in a
service station or drive-in restaurant to take the
drugs. Several arrests were made on these
addicts.
Many suspects who had been observed in the
control areas would show up in this special area.
These suspects would sit around in their
vehicles. They were attempting to make
arrangements for fencing (selling) their stolen

goods for drugs. The squad began following these
suspects home. With all this information a
certam pattern unveiled itself according to the
computer.
One evening around 6: 30, four deputies moved
into this area on foot. Captured there was a long
wanted felon. The deputies got right up beside
this suspect before he knew it. This is usually
very hard to do, because the suspects have a
very good lookout system. The Candyman was in
the group. He was tapped on the shoulder by a
deputy. He turned around and immediately
recognized the deputy. At the same time
everyone else realized tha t lawmen were in their
midst. The deputy talked to the Candyman, but
had to let him go beca use there was no legal
cause to search him even though it was felt he
was loaded with heroin. If the deputy had

searched him, it would not have stood up in the
courts. The Candyman never returned to the
area again.
Within 30 seconds after the deputies made
their move, the area looked deserted. The thirty
or so people had disappeared taking their
vehicles. Now the parking lot was empty. In
cidentally, the addict attempting to make a buy
will not go into the area unless there are people
standing around. If no one is on the street, the
addict knows the vice squad is in the area.
That same evening, while the squad was
in the area, a known addict and drug pusher
approached the area. There was an outstanding
warrant for his arrest. He immediately realized
something was wrong. Two deputies closed in on
him. He had his hands in his coat pockets. He

hand stayed in the right pocket. He faced one
deputy directly. The other deputy stepped away
to confirm the warrant via radio. The deputy
using the radio looked back at the suspect and
realized he had a possible weapon in that pocket.
The suspect was disarmed of a fully-loaded .25
caliber automatic gun. The suspect was arrested
on the warrant and for carrying a concealed
weapon.
Due to the information that was compiled on
these suspects in this area, one burglary ring
was broken up and well over 100 burglaries were
solved.
Three months after the squad was disbanded,
the drug pusher, Candyman, was taken to an
airplane en route to prison by one of the deputies.
The Candyman had the following comments
about the squad:
"Those undercover deputies had made it real
rough on the burglars. The burglars passed the
word to move inside the city limits and not to
move through the county islands. When the
narcotics addicted burglars were slowed down or
put out of business, it made my business pretty
rough as I had contracts to meet. My business
dropped way off. Drug traffic at the meeting
place was very hard to move because very few

addicts would risk the chance of getting caught.
"Even the fences in the county were under
severe pressure and they would not take on
anyone new, because they feared it might be a
deputy. Most of the fences would not handle
anything local.
"Some of the addicts left town while others,
feeling the pressure from lack of drugs and the
squad, took too many chances. Their habit was
eating them alive."
In summatiun, the squad's potential is great.
Better protection was provided for the law
abiding citizen while the criminal felt endless
pressure. The squad will return and move
throughout the county as needed, as soon as
funds are available.
This entire program would not work without
you. Your concern, time, taxes and energy are
needed to complete our judicial system. The
lawman ca tches the suspects, compiles the
evidence and turns the evidence over to the
District Attorney's Office. The District At
torney's Office critiques the lawman's procedure
to make sure everything was done legally. The
judge rules on legal matters. You judge the
whole system. You say if the suspect is guilty or
not.

What type of river is located between Pine Flat
Dam and Reedley Beach? Most people would say
that this is the Kings River, a place for
recreation. They would be right in saying that
this waterway is named the Kings River, but
saying that it is a recreational area would not
justly describe the 20 to 30 miles between these
points.
As a deputy for the Fresno County Sheriff's
Department, this area has been a portion of my
assigned patrol section for approximately two
and one-half years, and the description of the
Kings River as just being recreational is far
from the truth.
The deputies who assist with the patrolling, the
rescues, and the recoveries feel that the Kings

River is a treacherous and dangerous hazard
that should be brought to the attention of the
public who use or plan to use the waterway.
Accidents are bound to happen when one or more
individuals enter an area for the first time or a
repeated number of times. But I have found that
the majority of the fatalities could have been
prevented with a little care and common sense.
A few experiences. that I have encountered in
the past two and one-half years have not ended in
tragedy but widened the knowledge for
preventive patrol tactics and awakened a small
portion of the public on what could happen from
a careless mistake in a recreational area such as
the Kings River.

of the many signs posted on the river
for the safety of the pu.blic.
One example is a Saturday morning in June,
approximately 10 o'clock, when I received in
formation regarding a possible stranded subject
on one of the islands located in the Kings River,
approximately one mile below Pine Flat Dam.
Upon arriving at the scene, I observed what
appeared to be two adults and four juveniles
stranded on a small island approximately 30
yards from the south bank of the river. The
water was extremely swift in this channel, and
the stranded party appeared to be very tired.
With the assistance of several Reserve Deputies,
the rescue was successfully completed within
approximately one hour without any injury to the
stranded party or to the rescuers. The statement
received from the adult in charge of the stranded
individuals was, "Two of the boys were able to
partially swim, the other two boys could not .. swim and the other adult was a poor swimmer. I
brought the party here to shoot the rapids in
inner tubes, but I didn't realize that the water
was this cold and this swift." The preceding
statement was from a prominent businessman
who should have known better. If it had not been

not known how the ordeal would have turned out.
An incident that occurred at Winton Park was
observed first-hand by myself and a fellow
deputy and could have ended in a tragic fatality
if it hadn't been for a quick-thinking fisherman.
Three young adults were attempting to shoot the
rapids downstream from the Piedra Bridge,
when two of them were knocked from their one
man life raft by a branch protruding from the
bank. Taking into considera tion tha t none of the
boys was equipped with any life-saving equip
ment, all three were successfully removed from
the water by an alert fisherman. It was
necessary for one subject to be administered
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and another was
treated for a small laceration on his forehead.
Two of the three boys were transported to a local
hospital for treatment and later released. A
statement obtained from the third subject in
volved was, "My two friends did not know how to

swim, nor did they want to seem sissified by
wearing a life jacket."
These two examples are just sequels of 20 to 25
incidents I have encountered, and could have
been prevented with a little preparation and the
use of common sense. .
When individuals use the Kings River for a
recreational area such as for rafting, canoeing,
swimming, and fishing, many of the hazards that
they will encounter are not always visible. The
major hazards for the swimmers and the
fishermen are the extreme cold and swift
moving water. There are also numerous deep
holes and slick rocks in some areas that appear
to be shallow and calm. For the individuals that
use the river for a passageway, the coldness of
the water, its swiftness, and the overhanging
branches seem to interfere with their navigation.
Then there are the rapids, a number of weirs,
and the eddies that are obvious hazards to the
waterway.
One of the most dangerous hazards, in my
opinion, is the Alta Weir. There have been
numerous drownings and near-fatal accidents

stemming from the violent water in this weir.
The Alta Weir is clearly marked with the
universal sign warning of the danger of any
passage through this weir. I have attempted to
rescue several individuals from the weir, some
being successful and others ending in a fatality .
There have been two occasions where the rescue
has nearly injured himself or also become a
fatality . In my comments regarding the Alta
Weir, I am not expressing any negligence on the
part of the Kings River Water District, nor the
Alta Irrigation District. The negligence and the
danger stems from the non-use of common sense
by individuals using the Kings River.
Accidents can occur in the Kings River even
though one is prepared. I remember one case
where two professional-type canoeists, although
equipped with life-saving devices, were
pronounced dead on arrival at a local hospital
due to the negligence on their part by attempting
to cross the Alta Weir with their canoe.
The Fresno County Sheriff's Department,
along with the cooperation of the water districts,
the State Department of Fish and Game, and the

Divers from the Sheriffs Department return to the
barge after searching for traces of a missing boat.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has attempted to
make the waterways of the Kings River a safer
place for recreation. At the beginning of the 1973
summer season the Kings River, from the lower
portion of Pine Flat Dam to Winton Park, was
posted with several three-foot by four-foot signs
consisting of restrictions under Penal Code
Section 409.5. Upon these signs are printed the
words "Danger. Area Closed. No Swimming. No
inner tubes. No air mattresses. By order of
Sheriff Melvin A. Willmirth." These signs were
strategically placed in the areas that are known
for this type of heavy traffic. It appeared that the
posting of signs in this area has helped to some
extent.
Ifindividuals find it necessary to participate in
recreation activities on the Kings River, there
are several precautions that should be taken for
their safety and the safety of others. The in
dividuals should use life-saving devices when
they are canoeing, using inner tubes, or swim
ming. The individuals should notify an in
dependent party of their type of activity, their
location and the estimated time of completion of
this activity. If the individuals participating in
their activities would use common sense coupled
with proper equipment, I feel it would minimize
or eliminate the hardship, the injury, and the
many fatalities brought on by the failure of being
prepared.
Deputy Roland Parker, at the wheel, puts divers
ashore after an all-day search.
Deputy Ross Kelly, at the wheel, and divers prepare
to set out lines in an attempt to recover a. body. The
flat-bottom boat is used mainly on rivers.

Mountain Search
and Rescue
by
Captain William Young
Many people, upon arrival in the mountains,
can't wait to go for a walk in the fresh air.
Children, in their excitement, can't wait to ex
plore their new surroundings. This first en
counter with the thrill of the moment is often the
most troublesome, for basic survival techniques
are often overlooked. The basic techniques are
simply a matter of getting your bearings,
knowing where you are in relation to major
landmarks. Good outdoorsmen will pick a
prominent landmark and use this as a guide.
Your campsite's location in respect to this
landmark is a constant guide back to your
starting point. If your campsite is some distance
from your landmark, pick two or three land
marks, which allow you to trianculate and know
where your starting point was.
A. Plan your trip well, and leave the following
information with someone who will notify the

I am at home, watching television, after
working all day in a patrol unit. It is nice and

telephone rings, and I am notified of a Search

with my search and rescue gear. Upon arriving
at the Department, I find the other deputies of
the Search and Rescue Team loading their gear
in the Search and Rescue truck which is always

While loading my gear, I hear over the radio

Jordan, Search and Rescue Field . Supervisor,.
assigns teams to the areas to be searched and
then briefs us as to the type of terrain and
weather conditions. We are told the lost person is
an experienced hunter and well versed in
mountain survival. Two things in his favor are
that he is warmly dressed and has a gun and
ammunition which he could use as a signal,
although the snow will deaden the sound con
siderably.
The jeeps put us into our search areas and
patrol the roads while we walk across country. It
is snowing heavily and will continue all day. The
search continued until dark. Knowing the hunter
has been out two nights in the snow, the mem
bers of the team began to feel uneasy after
finding no trace. Our dogs would be of no help
due to the snow covering the scent.
The second day of the search we are joined by
16 volunteers and four airplanes from the
Sheriff's Air Squadron, who are also Reserve
Deputy Sheriffs. The search is conducted from
sunrise to sunset without any sign of the missing
hunter. If the hunter is moving, the fresh snow is
covering his tracks.
The third day began well; it stopped snowing.
Around noon comes a radio call from one rescue
squad. They have just found fresh foottracks
moving south. The planes are called into the
area. Other squads are moved into the area, and
within an hour the hunter is found in good con
dition.

When he became lost he used his head and
attempted to stay in the area, and when the
weather turned bad, he built a shelter and waited
for better weather. This story ended well.
Many rescues ended well this year. However,
two were unsuccessful and unresolved. .
One search lasted nine days without finding a
trace of the lost person. This search saw our
team joined by nine members of the Calaveras
Mountain Rescue Team of the California
Division of Forestry, a private helicopter and
Forestry helicopter, several airplanes and over
150 volunteers. The volunteers walked with other
members of the search squads and showed grea t
stamina and courage. The squads were sear

team was impressed with the dedication and
willingness of these volunteers in their desire to
assist a fellow man.

depressing decision, for we had not found the
victim.
In closing, I would like to thank all persons and
agencies who helped us this past year, for your
efforts were most helpful.
I also encourage all persons going into the
mountains to follow the simple rules at the
beginning of this article and use a little common
sense. Above all, remember this: no one can
guarantee tha t you will be found if you are lost,
injured or ill. We can guarantee to try, and will
exhaust every resource in our efforts to help you.
These efforts are 99 per cent successful;
however, this is not good enough. Only you can
prevent yourself from becoming a fatality, or the
object of a search. You are the only one who can
guarantee that your trip to the mountains will
not end as a statistic in the files of the Sheriff's
Department.
IDYesllocally. We do.

SECURITY DIVISION
The Facts About Strikers in Custod'y
by
Gene Hallam
units of the Sheriff's
Division in 1973
received a great deal of unfavorable nation-wide
publicity during the United Farm Workers strike
in July and August. Unfortunately, the several
official investigations by the Department and
various other agencies, which proved the many
accusations, allegations, innuendos, and just
plain lies were nothing but deliberately planned
propaganda, didn't receive nearly as much
publicity as did the complaints which made them
necessary. Therefore, some citizens not familiar
with the operation of the Security Division and
Industrial Farm may wonder if there was any
justification for the claims of unfair and im
proper treatment.

Along with other
Department, the Security
person directly responsible for-the conduct of its
officers, I am naturally speaking from a biased
position. However, I feel I can be objective in an
analysis of jail conditions, and can honestly
reassure the citizens of Fresno County that the
people they have employed to operate their
correctional facilities are doing a good job.
Long before the new Minimum Jail Standards
law, which went into effect early last year,
forced many agencies throughout the state to
drastically revise their jail operating
procedures, Sheriff Willmirth had instilled in his
correctional personnel the philosophy tha t no
matter what an inmate is accused or convicted
of, nor what his attitude and behavior are, he is a
human being and is to be treated accordingly.

For that reason, the new standards imposed no
particular hardship or revolutionary effect on
our operation. Most of the improvements they
mandated had either already been made, or
were being planned. We have been told by both
state and federal jail inspectors that our
facilities and our methods and philosophies of
operation are among the most progressive in the
state and nation.
As for specific complaints made by certain
members of the United Farm Workers, let's take
a look at them one by one.
Medical Care
It was amaiing that out of a group of people
healthy enough to walk a picket line in the hot
sun, and presumably capable of doing hard
physical labor in orchards and vineyards, so
many complained of diseases requiring medical
attention as soon as they were incarcerated. The
Union claimed such attention was not provided.
These are the facts. Each inmate is informed
when booked that if he needs medical attention,
he has only to make a request and he will be
examined and treated by the jail physician. If he
needs treatment more extensive than can be
given in the jail infirmary, or if emergency
treatment is required when the jail physician is
not on duty, he will be taken to Valley Medical
Center. Few of the strikers in custody took ad
vantage of that opportunity, but expressed a
desire to be treated by the union physician. This
was satisfactory to us; the law provides that an
inmate may be treated by a physician of his
choice at his own expense. It does not require
that the jail furnish treatment facilities for an
outside physician. However, in this instance we
went far beyond the requirements of the law, by
making the jail infirmary available to the union
phYSician. Our only stipulation was that he
schedule his visits for afternoons and evenings,
so they wouldn't conflict with regular jail sick
call, which is held each morning.
Deputies plan and prepare to handle the incoming
strikers after the arrests for violations of the law
were made.

In spite of this gesture, the union physician
publicly accused us of refusing to cooperate. He
continually complained because he wasn't
permitted to go into the cell blocks to interview
and examine prospective patients. On the one
occasion he was allowed to do so, he immediately
began shouting union slogans, encouraging the
inmates to continue their resistance to the law,
and discussing matters totally unrelated to their
medical problems.
That his complaints were not sincere, but were
made only to gain public sympathy for the farm
workers' cause, is indicated by the fact that after
the strike was over, he wrote us a letter thanking
us for our assistance and cooperation.
Legal Counsel
There was also an allegation that strikers in
custody were not allowed adequate legal
counsel. The law requires generally that any
inmate may be visited and interviewed by his
attorney at any time the attorney so desires, and
that any request by an inmate to call his attorney
must be complied with. It is also legally per
missible for a law student who has reached a
certain level of education to interview an inmate,
if he is doing so on behalf of a sponsoring a t
torney, and the inmate is the attorney's client.
There is no requirement that we permit either
attorneys or law students to visit a group of in
mates to see if any are in need of their services.
During the period when the strikers were in
custody, several union a ttorneys and a group of
young people who identified themselves as law
students affiliated with the union had access to
the jail at any time of the day or night. They were
permitted to enter the cell blocks where strikers
were confined and talk to them individually or
collectively. We offered no objection when they,
like the physician, appeared to be discussing
matters far beyond the scope of legal counsel. To
my knowledge , no striker in custody ever made a
request to be contacted by a specific attorney.

which is the only type of visit we would have been
legally required to permit.
Personal Visits
In this category, too, we went out of our way to
assure that each striker inmate had more than
legally required visiting privileges. Jail visiting
rules, sanctioned by the Minimum Standards
law, provide that each inmate may have two 20
minute visits per week, from among three
persons he chooses and designates when he is
booked. The strikers were booked in such
numbers there wasn't time to prepare visiting
cards, so in their case the rules were virtually
suspended. Not only did we allow them as many
visits as we had time and personnel to handle;
we also permitted them visits outside regular
visiting hours. We didn't have time to keep
records of who visited whom, so we don't know
how many visits each striker received. However,
we're certain that if anyone of them didn't
receive his quota of visits during his in
carceration, it was because not enough people
asked to see him.
Telephone Calls
The law requires only that an inmate be
permitted to make two telephone calls within
three hours after he is booked. Our rule is tha t
additional calls may be permitted in emergency
situations, but at the discretion of the Watch
Commander, and the convenience of the jail
staff. We don't generally allow inmates to
receive calls from the outside, because we don't
have the personnel to handle the extra workload
it would entail. Again we ignored both rules, and
permitted the striker inmates to use the
telephone as often as time and other duties
permitted, for both outgoing and incoming calls.
~ Some of those booked at the Industrial Farm
may not have made their initial calls within the
prescribed time, but it was only because there
was only one trunk line available there, and
when a large group was booked it was impossible
for all to use the phone within three hours.
Food and Living Conditions
There was some complaining about food and
the condition of the cell blocks where strikers
were housed. They were fed as often as the
regular inmates, from the jail menu, which has
been checked and approved for quality, quantity,
and variety by a dietitian from the Fresno
County Health Department. Even those who
were housed in temporary quarters at the
fairgrounds were given hot meals.
Some of the cell blocks used to house strikers
wouldn't have passed inspection and been ap
proved for use under normal conditions. They
were those which are scheduled for remodeling,

and hadn't been in use for some time until the
overload due to arrests of strikers made it
necessary to reactivate them. They were ac·
ceptable for use in an emergency situation such
as existed a t the time. The walls needed pain
ting, a few light fixtures were broken, and there
was some leakage in the plumbing. However,
they were reasonably clean when the inmates
were admitted. A few inmates didn't have
mattresses for a day or so, simply because we
didn't have enoug mattresses on hand for such
an unexpected increase in jail population. Those
without mattresses were given extra blankets, so
no one was required to sleep on a bare bunk or
floor. That situation was rectified as soon as
possible by borrowing mattresses from other
agencies. Even those housed at the fairgrounds
were in a clean, air-conditioned room with plenty
of restrooms, drinking fountains, and a
telephone they were permitted to use.
Religious Services
The Minimum Standards Law makes no
definite provisions for religious activities. It is
customary in most jails that church groups from
the community are permitted to conduct ser

interested and whose attendance will not con

,stitute a security risk. In the Fresno County Jail,
and also at the Industrial Farm, several such
groups come in each week. Most jails, including
ours, also extend to ministers the same visiting
privileges as attorneys, permitting them to visit
their own parishioners or others who have
requested their counsel at any time.
Among the strikers who insisted on being
arrested and booked into jail were several
members of a well-known religious organization.
Because they refused to be released on their own
recognizance, they were in custody for several
days. During that time we permitted them to
conduct daily services for themselves and the
other strikers, and even assisted them in
acquiring necessary supplies and paraphernalia.
The religious people were, for the most part,
cooperative with and courteous to the jail per
sonnel. They were also some of our most severe
critics.
Physical Treatment
Although no more false than the others, the
accusation which caused us the most concern
was that the strikers were subjected to physical
mistreatment and abuse while in custody. The
charges were so ridiculous they'd have been
humorous had they not been so potentially
harmful to the reputations of the officers in
volved, and to the public image of the Depart
ment. For instance, one young man claimed he
had been beaten and his arm twisted in such a
manner that he was unable to use it. An
examination at Valley Medical Center showed
there was no injury. The criminologist assisting
in the Department's investigation of the alleged
incident took one photograph of him with his arm
dangling at his side, then said to him, "Now take
off your tee shirt so I can see if there are any
marks on your back." With no hesitation he
raised both arms above his head and removed
the shirt.
Generally, with the exception of a few
agitators, the strikers were so good-natured and
cooperative after arrest there was no occasion
for jail officers to even use stern language, much
less resort to physical force. The charges were
based mainly upon an incident which occurred
on the evening of July 21, in a maximum security
cellblock in which a small group of agitators had
been placed to keep them from inciting the main
body of strikers. The group started a fire in the
cellblock hallway, with blankets and mattresses
for fuel. Within minutes the cellblock and ad
jacent hallways were filled with smoke. Officers
brought in a fire hose and extinguishers and
quickly put out the fire, but the smoke remained,
seriously impairing visibility and making
breathing extremely difficult.

Jack Rustigan, left, is presented with a com
mendation from Sheriff Melvin A. Willmirth on
behalf of the law enforcement profession.
On July 21, 1973, Jack Rustigan observed two
men carrying property from a neighbor's home
while the neighbor was absent. He immediately
took them into custody and held them until
members of the Sheriff's Department arrived
and arrested them.
His alertness and the courage he displayed
prevented the successful commission of a
serious crime and resulted in the return of stolen
property from two burglaries.
His willingness to become involved in
preventing a criminal act graphically illustrates
how members of society can, through par
ticipation and courageous action, effectively
support police efforts to maintain public safety
and community order.

10 of these new referrals to proba tion depart

other law enforcement agencies. Most
youngsters, then, who came to the attention of
law enforcement agencies fell into the category
of Section 601, and these agencies were the
primary screening points which determined
whether these youngsters would move into the
juvenile justice system.

Large numbers of youngsters who come to the
attention of law enforcement agencies fall into
the category of California Welfare and In

considered to be "out of control." Almost one

While saddled with this responsibility, law
enforcement agencies have had limited options
for dealing with these youngsters. Usually they
have handled these cases by informal coun
seling, reprimanding and releasing, or if
necessary, citing on to the juvenile justice
system through probation. A limited number of
cases have been referred to Mental Health or
counseling agencies.
While recognizing that many of these
youngsters and their families needed counseling
services, unfortunately past experience with
mental health agencies has been poor. Officers
have been in the dark regarding the results of the
referrals, and they are left with discomfort
regarding their efforts. Oftentimes clients do not
follow through on these referrals, or if they do,
they do not stay in treatment long enough to
make substantial gains. Sometimes poor results
of referrals are because officers are not trained
in properly preparing clients for work with
another agency. People associate mental health
agencies with being "crazy," and an automatic
resistance to such help takes place. Good
referrals require skill and patience, especially
when referring to mental health agencies.
Generally the total experience of referring
people to mental health agencies from law en
forcement agencies has not been a satisfactory
one for the people referring, the client, or the
mental health therapist who is trying to provide
services. It is not surprising, then, that law
enforcement personnel have been reluctant to
make referrals, even though they may recognize
the need for such services.
Faced with this unfavorable situation, the
authors felt that there might be a better and
more effective way of providing needed coun
seling services to cl ients of law enforcement
agencies. The initial concern was that law en
forcement personnel have no available im
mediate resources. Referrals to outside agencies
did not work because of negative feelings toward

the idea of mental health, and intervention in the
crisis was not immedia te enough.
It is well known that when people are in crisis,
their chronit: difficulties, habitual personality
problems and long-standing concerns are not as
easily disguised and are more easily observable
to others. They are also usually more open to
outside help. Intervention at this point has a
greater chance of success than later when the
crisis has cooled, the pain eased and motivation
for help consequently lessened.
Aware of the negative feeling many people
have about the words "mental health," it was
felt that if these services could be provided in the
law enforcement agency, rather than in a mental
health clinic, there might be fewer negative
feelings and consequently less resistance to
counseling.
It was felt that attitudinal difficulties which
existed between law enforcement and mental
health which interfered with their cooperation
might be reduced or eliminated if the counselor
worked in the law enforcement setting and came
to be better known and himselfto better know the
people he worked with. Sometimes familiarity
breeds contempt, but we hoped that it would
engender mutual respect and understanding.
With these ideas in mind, support was obtained
in 1972 from both the Fresno County Sheriff's
Department and the Fresno County Mental
Health Department for a psychiatric social
worker to spend one day a week in the Sheriff's
Department to provide counseling services to
children and families who would have contact
with the Youth Services Bureau.
The service is voluntary, and there is no
.. coercion involved. Families are informed that
the service is available to them if they wish to
use it. There is a maximum of six interviews,
and if further services are needed, the family is
helped to find services elsewhere.
During the initial phase of this program, which
lasted about one and one-half years, over 100
families, or over 300 people, have been served.
Referrals to the juvenile justice system have
fallen appreciably, and the recidivistic ra te of
those youngsters served has been nearly zero.
About 10 per cent of the families seen were

law enforcement agencies. Although the contact
is short-term, the effects of the service seem to
have been important in terms of helping people
solve present and future problems. Certainly all
problems cannot be prevented. Life is a problem
solving process, and childhood and adolescence
are periods of dynamic growth fraught with
problems and difficulties. Early and appropriate
intervention can prevent the complication of
current problems and teach people ways of
solving future problems.
There has been a significant reduction in
negative attitudes regarding counseling ser
vices. There have been only a few cases of
refusal to accept the service.
Law enforcement personnel have a more
positive attitude toward counseling, and the

counselor has a better understanding of law
enforcement. The result is that both professions
are better able to work cooperatively in the in
terest of the population they are serving.
A most important outcome of this project is the
substantiation of the idea that with a program of
this sort in a police agency, law enforcement
personnel have an important and practical
alternative to the juvenile justice system. Police
work is enhanced, police morale is raised
because of the positive experience of being able
to help people, and the community is slowly
developing a positive attitude toward police as
helping these people.
In October of 1973 this program was expanded
with the support of the Probation Department,
which contracted with the Mental Health
Department to provide a full-time psychiatric
social worker for the Sheriff's Department
youth Services Bureau. This contract allows the
provision of services without charge to clients,
and the expansion of services to other than
Section 601 youngsters. It also makes possible
consultation with school resource deputies and
others who may desire it. It is our hope that these
services can also be offered to law enforcement
agencies in selected areas of the county.

Special Investigations
Detail
This detail investigates drug and narcotics
violations, prostitution, gambling, obscenity,
internal affairs and miscellaneous cases.
In 1973 the Special Investiga tions Detail
handled a substantial increase in cases over the
previous year.
A large percentage of these cases went to trial,
forcing the personnel to spend many hours in
courtrooms, off the streets. Before going to
court, usually several hours are needed to
prepare the case. However, the time was well
spent as a high percentage of the suspects were
found guilty of various crimes.
The men in this detail spend an average of
between 40 and 60 hours a week on duty plus
always being subject to an immediate call back
to duty at any time. Any police department in the
county may call for their assistance for in
vestigation in their related fields.
Besides working with the county police
departments, the detail works closely with state
and federal law enforcement agencies.
This detail is under the immediate direction of
Sheriff Willmirth. Sergeant K. Frankfort is the School Resource Deputy Deputy Tom Lean, left, and
unit commander. T. Johnson, G. Lewis and K. Detective Wade Williams confiscate some marijuana
plants for evidence. Arrests followed.Nicholas comprise the detail.

Sheriff's
Explorer Post No. 16
by
TOM WHITESIDE Explorer Tom Whiteside
The Sheriff's Department Explorer Post was
established in December of 1969. There were two
purposes which led to the formation of the Post.
First, the Sheriff's Department wanted to
establish a positive relationship with the young
men in the community. The second objective was
to get young men interested in a career in law
enforcement and to encourage them to pursue
their education, and possibly return to the
Sheriff's Department as full-time deputies.
Our present advisors, Deputies Gerald
Gallagher and Harry Massucco, help coordinate
activities for the Post and assist in areas per
taining to law enforcement. Our advisors are
always looking for new recruits. Anyone in
terested should contact the Sheriff's Depart
ment. All potential recruits are required to
complete an application form. A thorough
background check is made. All applicants are
then further screened by means of an oral in
terview.
When all new recruits have been chosen, the
Sheriff's Department invites the parents of the
recruits to a meeting where the program is
explained to them in detail.
In order for the affairs of the Post to be han
dled properly and efficiently, a chain of com
mand has been formed similar to that of the
Sheriff's Department.
Members of the Post have received in-depth
instruction on subjects such as first aid, the
Continued

Vehicle Code, the Penal Code, radio procedures,
combat techniques, and all divisions within the
Sheriff's Department.
The Post has been involved in many activities
during the past year. The Explorer Deputies
were asked to assist in crowd control during the
Miller-Johnson Circus. The Post participated in
a car safety rally. Some of the deputies have
donated their time along with our advisors to
take students from the Kelso School to the circus,
on fishing trips, and out to the industrial farm.
Picnics and various tours through different
facilities have also taken place.
The Post Deputies now have several additions
to their duties and responsibilities, such as an
swering the telephones in the information section
of operations in the Sheriff's Department.
Besides taking stolen bicycle reports and house
security checks, we also lead tours through the
Sheriff's Department.
The Explorers Post has expanded since last
year to include Female Advisor Rachel Davision
and several female explorers. Also plans are
being considered to establish more Sheriff's
Explorers Posts throughout the county.
The Sheriff's executive committee, our post
advisors, and all of our post deputies would like
to express our sincere appreciation and thanks to
the Fresno County Deputy Sheriff's Association,
who were so generous in the needed financial
support of the post.

The Making
Of Young Men
by
Deputy Gerald Gallagher
GERALD GALLAGHER
The Law Enforcement Explorer Program is a
Fresno County Sheriff's Department youth
oriented program affiliated with the Boy Scouts
of America and has the primary purpose of
providing a means by which young men and
women may determine through actual ex
perience if they would like to pursue a career in
Law Enforcement. Secondly, the program
provides the Sheriff's Department with ad
ditional human resources and opens a very
important avenue of understanding with the
future generation or society of young people.

Department Exploring activities, Deputy Ex
plorers assist the regular Deputy Sheriffs by
performing non-hazardous duties such as stolen
bicycle reports, house check information, crowd
assistance at community events, civil events,
anti-crime campaigns, and miscellaneous
community relations functions.
Deputy Explorers are non-compensated. New
members are expected to furnish their own
uniforms and equipment upon acceptance into
the program, but special considerations can be
arranged for those who cannot afford the initial
costs.
New Fresno Sheriff's Department Explorers
receive basic instruction in most phases of law
enforcement including crime prevention, nar
cotics, juvenile procedures, report writing, and
other fascinating related fields which are an
important part of law enforcement. Explorers
who are interested in law enforcement as a
career find the Law Enforcement Explorers
Program is an advanced step for a future in
volvement as a law enforcement officer. For
those who decide on a career outside of law
enforcement, they will find that they have gained
an insight and understanding of their govern
ment which will allow them to better discharge
their obligations as citizens.
If you are interested and willing to accept a
challenge, cdntact the Fresno County Sheriff's
Department in regard to the Law Enforcement
Explorer Program.

Reserves' Dedication
by Reserve Captain Ed Gajarian
The Uniformed Field Division Reserve Unit of
the Fresno County Sheriff's Department is truly
a civic-minded law enforcement group of men
who give of their time voluntarily day or night at
no cost to the Fresno County taxpayer. The only
exception is 526 hours in 1973, logged for security
purposes during the United Farm Workers strike
between August 2 and August 12.
The unit's size usually runs between 35 and 45
members. Between 8,500 and 9,000 man-hours
were put in to help the Department with its
workload and needs.
Each man buys his own uniform, leather,
headgear and sidearm. He is one of the unsung
extra law enforcement arms of the Fresno
County Sheriff's Department.
All members work full time at their regular
occupation or profession by which to make a
living for their respective families.
This Reserve Unit was originally formed and
activated by Captain Robert Saum with the help
of the late Tom Nix by authority of Sheriff
Melvin A. Willmirth and is now in its 16th year of

In last year's Sheriff's Review Magazine an
article was featured about the Sheriff's
Department helping one of the deputies who had
a little girl born three months prematurely and
how she fought to live. The medical costs were
staggering, and the Sheriff's Association had a
fund-raising campaign to help the family.
It is our pleasure to inform all those who
helped in the fund-raising campaign that Larry
Nomura and wife Ellen say Wendy is well, full of
love and growing like a weed. They wish to thank
all those who were so helpful in their time of
need.

Youth Services Are "Preventive Medicine"
by Officer Bill Jeans
Any kid can grow into a "bad kid." It's easy.
Just give him lots of time to think of ways to get
into trouble and be apathetic towards his needs
and feelings. Make sure he spends a lot of time
hanging out with young people who have already
gone sour, whom he can look up to and learn
from --learn things like disrespect for law and
order, parents, hard work and truthfulness. And,
of course, contempt for "the man."
The police officer is out in view, a symbol of
everything it now seems fashionable to criticize.
And the officer's reaction to the "bad kid" must
often be influenced by the circumstances under
which they come in contact. When an officer
comes in contact with a young person through
that young person's violation of the law, half the
battle is already lost. There stands the officer, an
unknown quantity in a uniform saying, "You
can'tdo this." However, law enforcement can be
like medicine taken to prevent . the illness, and
the old proverb about the ounce of prevention
was never truer than when it pertains to
.policemen involved in youth services.

Officers of the Clovis Police Department, as
with other law enforcement agencies, possess a
wealth of abilities and specialized knowledge
which has nothing to do with penal codes or laws
of evidence and arrest, but which can be of even
greater use to the community in the long run.
When an officer makes himself available to
youth programs of any kind, the benefits are
mutual. Young people cannot help but be in
fluenced seeing "the man" out from behind the
badge, on his own time, making an effort to help
youths with learning and just having fun. These
youths involved spread the word, and the officer
win never know how many young people he will
never have to take into custody because of time
he put in showing them alternatives to being a
"bad kid."
Clovis officers have given of themselves freely
in many programs affiliated with the Depart
ment, often on their own time and money.
The Clovis Police School Resources Program
is going into its fourth year, and its effects are
visible in the community. The bicycle and
pedestrian safety programs are reaching school
children and are noticed by patrol officers in

their behavior going to and from school. It is
almost impossible for a beat officer to contact
youngsters and not be asked, "Do you know
Officer Taylor?" Officer Doug Taylor's work
with school children is in addition to regular
detective and juvenile duties and is of im
measurable value in promoting safety and un
derstanding. Seeing Doug at the school in and out
of uniform, taking time and answering
questions, deeply influences young minds. A
cartoon character can tell a child not to get into a
stranger's car, but how much more lasting the
message when it comes from the child's own
"personal policeman." Children who were in
timidated by that tall figure in blue now are
firmly convinced that behind that star is a real,
warm person who will answer their questions
and to whom they can come with their problems.
Nearly all boys are interested in sports of some
kind . Aside from the fun of competition and the
rewards of winning, sportsmanship and the
diSCipline and dedica tion to achieve a goal that a
young man learns on the playing field carryover
into other endeavors in later life. Good athletes
generally make good citizens, and Clovis police
are deeply involved in building both. The officers
of the Clovis Police Department have donated
many hours and dollars to the football and
baseball teams sponsored by the Clovis Boys'
League, whose president, coincidentally, is

Clovis Police Captain Gino Pishione.
Two football teams are coached by members
of the Clovis Police Department. The Gamber
Cowboys are ably guided by Sergeant Jim
Reese, with capable assistance from Officer Jeff
Hubbard, a former college football player. The
Pepsi team, coached by Officer Taylor with
assistance from Officer Jim Kantarakis, went
into league playoffs this year undefeated. Both
teams will give birth to future high school
football talent and "good kids."
The Babe Ruth baseball team coached by
Officers Duane Uzzell and Jim Kantarakis
finished in the upper division of its competition
last year and is already looking ahead to next
season.
This year, in conjunction with the Department
of Fish and Game, the Clovis Police Department
has instituted a program of instruction in hunter
safety. Aimed at all age groups, the program
covers classroom and range familiarization with
firearms, the bow, and all aspects of safety in the
field. The program has successfully turned out
over 100 applicants this year as qualified safe
hunters under classroom instruction of Sergeant
Jim Reese, Officers Tom Payne, Jim Barrett
and Jim Kantarakis, with range instruction by

Officers Bill Jeans and Steve Hall. Seeing that
firearms are in the hands of safety-conscious
youths and.adults may not assure that you come
home with your buck, but it sure improves your
chances of coming home! New classes are being
formed through the Department of Fish and
Game.
The Clovis Police Department has for some
time sponsored and helped support Law En
forcement Explorer Post No. 355. Affiliated with
Boy Scouts of America, the unit is a career
influenced group of male and female young
people of high school age who participate in
classroom and field programs aimed at
acquainting youth with all elements of law en
forcement including criminal law, the vehicle
code, patrol procedures, self-defense, firearms,
etc. Uniformed members of the Post ride along
in patrol units and observe officers in the per
formance of duties in addition to field trips, such
as a recent one to tour the Los Angeles Police
Department and Sheriff's Department. The
Unit has assisted with many community ' func
tions in information and traffic control. In ad
dition to fostering an interest in the law en
forcement profession, the program, like the
school resources program, puts youth in contact
with what law enforcement is all about. The
members have made many contributions to
enhancing public relations for the Department
and Advisors Bill Jeans, Russell Greathouse and
Pam Peterson are. hoping to see the program
expand in the coming year.
As Department policy and in the minds of in
dividual officers, the Clovis PLiice Department
is firmly committed to involvement in youth

activities. This is the shape of things to come.
The na ture of our work has placed us in cars, out
of contact with the people we are working for
and, for reasons the public at large will not
always understand, much of our work appears
shrouded in secrecy. At a time of shocking
revela tions of corruption and criminal activity in
the highest bastions of our government, people
are suspicious of anything that represents the
establishment, and none are quicker to be
suspicious than our youth. Getting involved,
meeting them where they live and play and
sharing these experiences with them is as much
a benefit to our communities as the apprehension
of criminals. In a strictly practical light, the
officers' involvement with youth will reflect its
merits in the lightening of juvenile caseloads. On
another less obvious level, the merits of in
volvement in juvenile activities and the rewards
obtained therefrom are best judged by par
ticipating officers themselves. Let's all help
ourselves by helping build "good kids."

1973 brought many changes to the Kingsburg
Police Department.
Patrolman Tom Phillips was promoted tu
Sergeant, and a gradual employee turnover has
resulted in the hiring of five new officers. Crime
has shown a substantial decrease, particularly in
burglaries. A new crime prevention program has
contributed gre~tly. to this decreas~.
The school system is now enjoying a School
Resource Program, which was received
remarkably well by students and faculty. The
City of Kingsburg continues to grow and is now
approaching the 4,500 mark. The City Council
approved an extra position so that during most of
the year, at east one officer is able to attend
some type of training school. The Council two
years ago adopted the Peace Officers Standards
&Training (POST) charter and now officers are
able to take advantage of the many POST

certified courses.
The most significant change, under the
direction of Chief of Police John Swenning, is the
completion of a new 1,800-square-foot police
building. The building consists of 15 rooms, in
cluding three detention cells, a conference room,
a records room, and a large, modern operations
area. The building was added on to the Fire
Station, thus combining all city emergency and
public safety services.

Mendota Police Expand Activities
by Lt. Eddie Porras
Chief of Police Silverio Sanchez for the second
year has steadily upgraded the Department in
police work and education. His first year saw
him planning for the future through various
administration changes and innovation of new
training programs. The training and education
has begun to pay, resulting in more efficient
work attained in less time. This being ac
complished, the patrolmen have more time to
work on projects in which they can best assist the
citizens and youth of Mendota.
Chief Sanchez implemented an 18-year-old
auxiliary force and a cadet unit. After their
training, they were given work to perform.
In 1973 Officers John Swimley, George Ortiz,
Juan Amador, and Robert Rosenhagen attended
the Basic Police Officers Standard Training
Academy in Fresno. Several officers attended a
tear gas training class given by the Fresno
Sqeriff's Department.
Every year, just as an years must come, the
harvest of cantaloupes arrives during the
summer as Mother Na ture intends. Each season
the yielding of crops brings financial happiness
to many people, and to others it leaves a trace of

disappointment; this usually reflects on the
farmers due to low yieldage of crops and many
people not employed due to the number of people
available to pick these crops. The citizens of
Mendota saw 1973 as a prosperous year in
cantaloupes, due partially to the building of a
new packing shed in Mendota.
Little did the people of Mendota and Firebaugh
know what fate had in store for them. Strike!
While the name Cesar Chavez does not strike
fear, people have come to know that it usually
relates to labor strikes and boycotts, which to
some people means good news and to others it's
bad news. Chavez did come to Mendota to help in
the strike cause of the melon pickers. The strike
was on! The Mendota Police Department and its
personnel worked hard and long hours trying to
avert violence. As in all cases, there are two
sides to each story, and our personnel used its
education and resourcefulness to their greatest
capacity. The arrival of strikers around this city
caused for the first time a rash of arson caseS
(not proven to have been caused by strikers
directly or indirectly) caused by hurling in
cendiary bottle bombs at trucks parked around
the City of Mendota. An attempt was made at one
of the sheds in Mendota but was foiled as
pa trolmen in the area spotted evidence of the
attempt, and there was no damage caused. The
strike grew in people and then seemed as if it
would die down. Then in came outside people,
and the strike picked up again. Tactics employed
to disrupt the processing of melons ranged from
the hurling of bombs, to large numbers of pIckets

and finally to using bomb threats toward one of
the melon sheds. Businessmen of Mendota
suffered financially in not being able t@
capitalize on business transactions with the
people due to less work being available. The
strikers had less money too.
The City of Mendota suffered the consequences
as it had to payout overtime to its officers on
strike details. The youth of Mendota lost the
services of Eddie Porras and Alvaro Rossette
due to the strike. They missed not being able to
supervise the Little League teams.
Mendota Police Department would like to
thank the Firebaugh Police Department and
the Fre~no County Sheriff's Department for
making their personnel available when needed in
case of outbreaks in our city. Both departments
also had their hands full with strike details at
this time. Our city was well protected during the
strike.

feet was also rounded up along with other sizes of
plants, which led to the arrest of two persons in
the City of Mendota.
Cadets
This year the Mendota Police Cadets again
participated in the drive to collect funds for the
Cerebral Palsy program in Fresno and again
they topped the $1,300 mark. This was achieved
through hard work.
The Cadets were taken on a couple of trips
which proved "beneficial to them. They toured
Parker Center at the Los Angeles Police
Department and also visited Deuel Vocational
Institution at Tracy, California. They gained
enormous knowledge in the field of law en
forcement techniques and training of police
officers at Los Angeles Police Department and
increased their knowledge of correctional work
being done at Deuel's Vocational Institution.
Recently the Mendota Police Cadets Program
received approval for the third year of funding
through the Central California Criminal Justice
Planning Region. The work for funding was
completed by Chris Bowman, for which we are
thankful.

Animal Control Officer. The cities of Mendota
and Firebaugh entered a joint agreement to hire
a man for this job. Louie Vallejo was hired and
has the right to cite people in both cities under
city ordinances in violation of animal controls.
Mendota Growing
The City of Mendota in the last two years has
been growing rapidly. There have been ap
proximately 225 houses built during this period.
With the growth of the town, the need grows for
more police protection and crime prevention.
The Police Department has not remained idle. It
has improved its functional operations, con
sistent with the administration's policies and
guidelines since 1970. Such technological
achievements have included:
1. The modernization of our Investigative and
Identification Laboratory. The Mendota Police
Department purchased an enlarger worth $600,
which now allows us to develop our own
department's pictures and also enables us to
photograph the minutest fingerprint or foot
prints. We now are also equipped with
specialized photographic equipment. Numerous
cases have been solved by our department's
Investigative Laboratory personnel through the
fingerprint point identification system.
2. Our department has taken a look at several
big city departments and has adopted a new

1973 was a vear in which the Reedley Police
Department grew in professionalism, public
rela tions and personnel. Under the ad
ministration of Chief of Police Don Rose, the
Department's services were expanded and new
programs initiated to meet the goal of
professionalism.
Police Chief Don Rose started his law en
forcement career in 1956 and was hired by the
City of Reedley as Police Captain in November
of 1972. Shortly thereafter, Chief Elmer Rodie
was stricken ill and hospitalized. In March of
1973, Captain Rose was appointed by the City
Council as Acting Chief of Police. He was later
appointed Chief of Police effective December 1st
after the notice of retirement by Chief Rodie.
During the year, Officers Tom Rotan and Bob
Chapman were promoted to Sergeant. Under the
promotion process, both men passed the State
Board Written Sergeant's
Examination, an Oral Review Board and Per
formance Evaluation. Sergeant Chapman was a
military policeman and private patrolman prior

to being hired by the Department in May of 1968.
Sergeant Rotan served with the United States

Under a grant received from the California
Council on Criminal Justice on July 1st, a School
Resources Officer position was created. Over 60
applicants were processed through written and

maintained an A average. Officer Estrada is a
five-year police veteran and will receive his B.S.
degree in Criminology and Business Ad

and parking enforcement. Prior to being hired
by the Department, Caron attended Brigham
Young University for 3112 years with Languages
as his major.
An Investigative Division was added to the
Department. Sergeant Jeff Nevels was assigned
to the initial program. Sergeant Nevels was a 23
year Army veteran prior to being hired in August
1967.
A Breathalyzer and Portable Radar set were
purchased by the Department. A new Radio
Base Station and Teletype system were installed
at the station. All have helped in departmental
efficiency and are greatly appreciated by the
members of the force.
A Burglary Prevention Grant was just
received and will be instituted with three men
early in 1974.
In plans i'or the future, a grant has been ap
plied for to allow each officer to have his own
portable radio for constant communication. The
grant will also provide for tape recorders which
can be carried on the person and used to record
any activity of the individual officers.
Individual academic improve ment will
by Department members in 1974.
On August 25, Sergeant Ed Soliz, with Officers
Robert Beck and Forrest Brown, were honored
for heroism and presented certificates by the
Fresno County Support Your Local Police
Committee.
During the summer of 1973, Reedley had its
share of civil disorder and unrest. The Depart
ment met several civil disorders in which of
ficers were tested in ability and leadership. The
Fresno Co\:lnty Sheriff's Department and the
California Highway Patrol were sent to assist
our Department upon request. Their assistance
was prompt and greatly appreciated. We would
like to take this opportunity to thank both
agencies and their administrators, Sheriff
Willmirth and Captain Gibbs, for their services
rendered in time of need.
The Reedley Police Department is striving to
reach the goal of professionalization and is at
temphng to lay down a good ground-level
foundation for its accomplishment. We ap
preciate the support shown by our citizens, the
City Council and law enforcement agencies in
the county.
continue to play an important role in the
achievement of the Department goals. Several

SOFTBAL IL TEAM
by
Deputy Don Rose
DON ROSE
It's early spring, and a few deputies are
yearning to play softball. So under the guidance
of Sergeant Don Lemley, approximately 14 men
got together to form a softball team. The team
would practice during the week and play a
challenge game on Sunday mornings.
Our first game was against a team playing in
the Men's Division of the City Recreation
League. The team looked impressive for their
first game and was able to maintain an early
lead to win the game by a score of 7 to 5. The
following Sunday we met the arch-rival Fresno
Police Department. After playing six complete
innings, the game was stopped as we had to go to
work. The score, in case you are wondering, was

Our third game proved more challenging as we
played a young Mexican team, Milie Amaro's,
sponsored and coached by Bob Amaro of the
Probation Department. The Sheriffs collected
their third win out of three starts. The score was
6 to 5.
Now that we had won three games in a row, a
few of us decided to stay ~way from the next
challenge. Our fourth game was with Bill's
Furniture, and three of our starters failed to
show. We subsequently lost the game 7 to 4.
On Saturday, June 23, the team convoyed to
Oakland to play in the Oakland Police .Officers
Association Tournament. We left Fresno at 7:00
A.M. and arrived in Oakland at 10:30 A.M. ,
stopping and having breakfast in LosBanos. We
arrived a wee bit late to properly warm up and
went onto the field cold. We lost our first game to

softball until the strike situation eased in late
September.
On September 22 the Fresno California High
way Patrol team held their Law Enforcement
Tournament in Clovis. The Sheriff's Team did
enter; however, due to the long layoff, we could
not generate any momentum and lost two 11
inning games in a row. The first loss was to the
Orange County Sheriff's Team, and the second
loss was to the Bakersfield California Highway
Patrol Team. The season finally came to an end
with this last tournament.
The deputies comprising the team were John

the men and their wives had a quiet dinner on the
waterfront at Jack London Square. After dinner
we commuted to San Francisco's Fisherman's
Wharf for some sightseeing. Sunday morning
we arrived at the ballfield an hour early, and
apparently it worked as we edged the San Jose
Police Team for a 9 to 1 win.
The following weekend we returned to Oakland
to play in the semi-finals. We won our first game,
beating the Hayward Police Department Team,
and lost our second game to the host team, the
Oakland Police Department. Overall we placed
fourth out of nine teams.
The following weekend, back at home, we
played the Fresno California Highway Patrol
Team. After four innings the game was called,
with the Sheriffs having 16 to the California
Highway Patrol's 1.
We later entered the Modesto Police Depart

draw due to the farm labor strike activity in
Fresno County. Strike activity became so
demanding that the team discontinued playing

FARM LABOR DISPUTE
During the summer of 1973, Fresno County
experienced its second farm labor dispute.
The first such encounter was three years ago
when the United Farm Workers Organizing
Committee sought to unionize farm workers on
selected farms throughout the valley. The result
of the first effort was the signing of contracts
with many farms and farm groups.
These same contracts expired during 1973, and
efforts to renew them were not successful.
The Union, led by Cesar Chavez, called for a
general strike against agriculture. The primary
difference between the strike of three years ago
and the strike of 1973 was that selected targets
(certain farms) were the objectives of the Union
in 1969 and 1970.
During 1973 any and all farms were potential
strike targets.
Consequently, all farmers, . regardless of
. acreage, could be picketed. Roving caravans of
strikers drove the countryside seeking fields in
which workers were present and set up their
picket lines whenever they found field hands.

This tactic was used by the Union with as many
as five or six caravans of 25-50 cars each seeking
workers throughout the day. As a result, the
Sheriff's Department was required to keep
patrol units with each caravan to maintain the
peace. This was a most difficult task as
allegations of threats, reports of violence and
other aggravations were numerous. It was found
that by having an officer present the behavior of
all participants was considerably better than
when an officer was not present.
Many reports of threats to workers and
workers' families occurred at the workers'
homes, over the phone or when the worker and
family were shopping. Allegations tha t strikers
and workers were being denied the rights
guaranteed by the Constitution were common,
and often such aUega tions were used as a
defense for aggressive and questionable activity.
It appeared to many observers that those who
complained the loudest about being denied their
rights were the ones most flagrantly violating

and denying these same rights to others. As the
strike activity continued, it appeared that the
objective of the Union changed from organizing
farm labor to challenging the "Rule of Law"
concept. Some observers felt that the farm labor
platform was just a ruse to camouflage a
political, economical and social reform
movement whose objectives went far beyond the
farm labor problem.
The make-up of those rallying to the cause of
the farm worker and those taking advantage of
its forum would lend support to such conclusions
in many instances.
A notable difference in the make-up of the
participants during the strike of 1969 and 1970
and the strike of 1973 was observed.
During the strike of three years ago, many
pickets were local farm laborers. They were far
more responsible and less violent in their at
titudes and actions than those who made up the
picket lines in 1973. Many of the strikers on the
line during the past summer had obviously never
worked on a farm. Others were farm laborers
but not local residents. Most were "Green Card"
holders from Mexico. This change in the make
up of the supporters of the cause contributed to
the potential for violence and irresponsible acts
by those participating.

Also during 1973 observers noted that the
farming interests combined their efforts to
protect one another and their workers. They
impressed all who witnessed their actions by the
manner in which they restrained and controlled
their supporters, which contributed greatly to
the overall stability of the situation.
It is possible that this action on the part of the
farmers resulted in the farm labor organizers
changing their target and attacking the so-called
"Establishment" instead of the farmer. The
"Rule of Law" became the object of their tac
tics, their challenge of the courts' restraining
orders and the propaganda campaign embarked
upon was a significant insight into the depth of
their dedication and a revelation of their "total"
purpose.
There were certain observations made which
leads one to believe that when subjected to the
test of truth, the claims of "workers being op
pressed and victimized" were found lacking.
The clergy who came in considerable numbers
also left in considerable numbers without
becoming involved. Others stayed and learned.
They found that there were two sides to the
controversy and that much of the information
they had received was not factual. One priest
confided to this writer that they had been in
structed not to talk to the farmers or others
outside the Union after some appeared to be
having second thoughts. There was some ap
parent truth to this, as it was observed that the
clergy were mixed in among other pickets from
then on, instead of compiling a picket line made
up predominately of the clergy.
It would appear that the summer of 1974 will
bring more of the same to Fresno County. Again
we will face a barrage that challenges each of us
and severely tests our system of government.
Once again it will be the individual acting with
compassion, restraint and an abiding dedication
to the truth that will sustain and provide equal
rights to all. This is the strength of our system of
government, and each time it is tested it gains
strength for the next challenge.

from the circus help attain the Association's
goals.
The 1973 Circus was held a t the Fresno County
Peace Officers Range. In addition to the off-duty
deputies, the Fresno County Sheriff's Depart
ment Explorer Scouts assisted the public with
parking and seating.
The circus was held outdoors and the weather
was beautiful. Sunny matinees and an evening
performance under the stars helped the circus
perform its magic.
The children were able to view the animals
before and after each show . Elephant rides were
available during the intermissions. Even clowns
circulated in the audience to the delight of the
children.
