MESSAGE
of the
PRESIDENT
Several new programs have been adopted
and procedural changes made in the Fresno
County Sheriff's Department during the past
year. This issue of the Sheriff's Review reports
on these changes. We hope that these programs
will all result in better law enforcement as they
are implemented.
Despite unusual and often disturbing events
related to the election of the Sheriff last year,
we, as professionals in law enforcement, have
endeavored to maintain a high standard of
serVice at all times. I feel certain that I can
assure you, the citizens of Fresno County, that
all deputies and non-certificated personnel will
continue the highest possible standard of
service as new leadership takes over.
One of our primary goals in publishing the
Sheriff's Review is to better inform the citizens
f Fresno county about our work. We recognize
that this would not be possible without the
pport of our advertisers. We hope you will
Anrll'Pl"l~te this support as much as we do and
iill in turn give them your support.
The cooperation of these advertisers is m
of the cooperation extended to
members of the Department by most citizens of
Fresno County. This cooperation is greatly
appreciated, for no law enforcement agency
can function effectively without citizen support.
Most people recognize that failing to report a
crime or deliberately withholding evidence is
protecting the criminal and may be illegal. But
withholding help in little ways may be equally
serious, so complete cooperation should always
be given. Only by working together in this way
can we build a society which will make us proud
and which will provide a safe and orderly
environment for ourselves and our children.
The Sheriff's Review is the result of many
hours of work by many members of the
Department and, on behalf of the officers and
members, I want to publicly express our thanks
for their ideas, information and other help in
producing this, our 1975 edition.

WILLIAM LEWIS HORINE
William Lewis Horine, a Fresno County
Deputy Sheriff, lost his life in a private
automobile accident on February 24, 1974. The
County lost an experienced law enforcement
officer because of his untimely death.
Bill was born July 14, 1935, in Muncie,
Indiana. He was raised in California and at
tended Coalinga High School and West Hills
Junior College. He started his law enforcement
career in June 1959, when he joined the
Coalinga Police Department as a patrolman. In
February 1966, he became a Deputy Constable
for Tom Quinney, the then-incapacitated
Constable for the large Coalinga Judicial
District. When Quinney died, the Board of
Supervisors appointed Bill to the office of
Constable. He remained in that capacity and
was elected once in his own right in 1972. When
the Constable's offices were incorporated into
the Sheriff's Department, Bill was assigned to
the Firebaugh area as a Deputy, and he served
in that capacity until his death.
Bill is survived by his wife Judy, two teen-age
sons, Lawrence and Brian, and one sister,
Joanne Norton. Both his mother and father are
deceased.
Masonic services were held February 27,
1974, in Coalinga, and his fellow officers
turned out in his honor in such numbers that
there was standing room only at the church.
Bill's 141/2 years of public service were
enlarged by his activities as a Mason, Shriner
and Elks member. He is sorely missed by
family and friends.
GILBERT ROCHA
Gilbert Rocha was born in Fresno March 18,
1948. Gilbert attended Fresno High School and
graduated in 1965. After graduation, he joined
the United States Army to fulfill his military
obligation. During his three years, Gilbert was
assigned to the Military Police Section, where
he received training in law enforcement. Since
childhood Gilbert had wanted to become a
policeman or deputy sheriff in Fresno County.
He served his three years honorably and after
his release, he enrolled at Fresno City College
since college units are required to become a
Deputy Sheriff.
Gilbert joined the Fresno County Sheriff's
Reserve Unit and also worked part-time as a
State Ranger at Millerton Lake. During the
time he was a Reserve Officer, he was called on
many times to fill a regular officer's position in
the Fresno County jail. In 1973, his dream
came true when he passed the written
examination and became a regular officer for
the Fresno County Sheriff's Department. He
was assigned to the Fresno County jail and
while there received a certificate for suc
cessfully completing a course in jail operations.
On April 7, 1974, Gilbert was on his way to
work when he was involved in a fatal vehicle
accident.
The men who worked with him found him to
be an outstanding officer, a man who had a
special kind of understanding for his fellow
man. Gilbert will be remembered by the men at
the Sheriff's Department.

No one person in Fresno County has as many
lives and emergencies to contend with as the
Fresno County Sheriff's Department
Dispatcher. He coordinates the Sheriff's
Department patrolmen in the field, and he
dispatches all emergency ambulance requests
for the entire county, including the City of
Fresno. He has hotlines to the Fresno Fire
Department for fire and resuscitator cans, the
Fresno Police Department, the California
Highway Patrol, the ambulance companies and

a burglar alarm company. He coordinates
operations between the California Highway
Patrol, the Fresno Police Department and all
city police departments in the county. The job
is endless and the paperwork is unreal -it is
necessary to record each step of the operation,
sometimes in three different forms for the same
call.
The dispatcher is the link between the public
and the various agencies and divisions within a

r
department. His first function is to direct and
coordinate the patrolmen in the field. On each
watch he usually has five patrolmen in the
metropolitan area, plus approximately twelve
patrolmen in the rest of Fresno County. The
dispatcher talks to the public and at the same
time monitors the Sheriff's Department radio
band regarding traffic with the patrolmen. As
he talks to the public about a call, he might be
reading a board on the radio console and
dispatching a patrolman on a previously
received call.
He has to decide instantaneously what is an
emergency call and act accordingly. Report
calls take second place to emergency calls. For
instance, a murder takes precedence over a call
on a burglary that has already occurred. A
burglary in progress call takes priority over a
burglary report call. A fight in progress is more
urgent than a stolen bicycle call. However, to
each person calling the Fresno County Sheriff's
Department Dispatcher, his call is an
emergency.
The public must realize that the dispatcher
does all he can to help but cannot work

miracles. Sometimes when the public calls in,
the dispatcher is forced to ask if the call is an
emergency and if not, he puts the call on hold.
The dispatcher has six lines to the public and
seven direct lines (hotlines) to other agencies on
his telephone console. He has a headset
telephone and while he is talking to you, he
might be walking over to a large map to check
your call for county or city jurisdiction. While
talking to you he might put you on hold to
dispatch a patrolman into your area for your
call and then again you might have to wait an
hour or two for the patrolman to arrive to take
a report call.
Daytime is the worst because most
metropolitan patrolmen are going from one
report call to another because the crime
happened during the night and was not
discovered until the next morning. Insurance
calls take up most of the patrolmen's time.
Insurance companies take many man-hours
away from patrolling by requiring a police
report on stolen items where there is no
evidence of theft. Insurance companies should
have their own forms and reports that would

allow the patrolmen to stop crime and not just
report it. It is quite evident that the patrolman
is doing the insurance companies' paperwork.
This adds to the dispatcher's problems because
he knows that each time a patrolman is sent on
a report call, the patrolman will be out of
service for about an hour. It would seem that
the insuran~e industry could provide a short
form that would be sufficient.
If a patrolman needs help, the dispatcher's
job is to get him help immediately. Sometimes
it seems the dispatchers work miracles and pull
help out of their hats. The men and ad
ministration of the local California Highway
Patrol deserve a big thank-you for their never
ending assists to our deputies. The dispatcher
sighs with relief when the California Highway
Patrol hotline rings and informs him that they
have an officer in the deputy's area and
assistance is already on its way. The same goes
for our dispatcher when he hears the California
Highway Patrolman requesting an' assist. It is
definitely a good feeling for a patrolman
stopping a vehicle to look up and see the amber
parking lights of the California Highway Patrol

vehicle less than a block away and know that a
backup unit is near if he needs it.
Another thing the dispatcher contends with
is what to do when all patrolmen are on calls
and a real emergency comes in. The dispatcher
has to make fast decisions and reroute
patrolmen. It is nothing unusual for the
patrolman to go into the 6th, 7th, or even 8th
hour of his work day before he gets lunch
because of the steady stream of calls he has to
answer.
Another responsibility of the dispatcher is
getting supporting personnel, such as detec
tives, criminologists, vice squad and super
visors, to the crime scenes when they are
needed.
The Fresno County Sheriff's Department
dispatcher also dispatches all emergency
ambulance calls in Fresno County. If you live
inside the Fresno city limits, this is what
happens when you request an ambulance from
the Fresno Police Department. The Fresno
Police Department dispatcher takes your call
for the ambulance. He picks up a hoUine to the
Sheriff's Department dispatcher and relays the

message. The Sheriff's dispatcher looks at the
ambulance call sheet to see which ambulance
company is to be called. The dispatcher then
picks up a hotline to the ambulance company
and again the message is relayed. After the
ambulance is on its way, the dispatcher must
fill out three different forms -one for the
Fresno County Sheriff's Department records,
one for the daily log, and one so the ambulance
company will get paid by the county. All of this
paperwork takes time to complete.
If you are injured in an automobile accident
in the county, again the Sheriff's dispatcher
dispatches an ambulance to you. For example,
if the accident were in the outlying area, the
California Highway Patrol would arrive on the
scene and request an ambulance. The
California Highway Patrol dispatcher picks up
the hotline and contacts our dispatcher. He
finds the location of the accident on the map
and then dispatches the proper ambulance by
the Sheriff's Department's radio. Again the
paperwork must be done.
On some ambulance calls, the dispatcher
also dispatches the Fresno Fire Department or

outlying fire departments to the scene because
they are much closer to the victim than the
ambulance. Why send the fire department?
Many fire departments have resuscitators and
they can save the life of a victim of a heart
attack or breathing problems, if they arrive on
the scene quickly enough.
The dispatcher also notifies the fire
departments when citizens report fires to the
Sheriffs Department.
What kind of person makes a good
dispatcher? Someone who is very mature and
able to work under constant stress. He must
think quickly and clearly and be able to do
several things at once. He must be able to work
closely with people and control all situations.
He must be calm and able to calm people down
over the telephone, thereby getting the proper
information from an excited person. A good
dispatcher worries about the patrolmen in the
field because at times their lives are in his
hands. If the dispatcher underestimates a
distrubance call and does not send enough
help, a patrolman could be injured. He must

LEITER OF COMMENDATION
On January 7, 1974, Eric Bison and Phillip
Hudecek were walking on a canal bank when
they observed a brown paper sack floating on
the water. It was near the west bank just south
of a temporary dirt dam in the canal. Both boys
became curious and investigated. After
retrieving the bag, they found 10 plastic bags of
green leafy material inside. This was later
identified as marijuana. The boys decided to
turn the illegal drugs over to the law en
forcement authorities for destruction.
Sheriff Willmirth was advised of the above
facts. The Sheriff wrote letters of com
mendation to both boys. Part of the letters read
as follows:
"In today's social climate, it is frequently
assumed that all youth will seize every op
portunity to disregard the laws as a symbol of
protest against the establishment. Your actions
refute that stereotyping and clearly illustrate
that the future of our nation is indeed secure.

A Lesson With An

The detonation was earthshaking! What was
left of the vehicle could be seen strewn about
within five square acres of barren land in the
Coalinga foothills. Overhead a piece of metal
from this same vehicle could be-seen lazily
floating as if it were a feather caught in the
wind, only to land approximately 20 yards to
our rear, kicking up dust and sagebrush as it

much charge in that one," says Bill Mallory,
special agent in charge of the Fresno office of
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
The A.T.F., as it is more commonly known, is
a division of the Department of the Treasurer
responsible for, among other things, in
vestigating any form of bomb or explosive
incident within its five-county jurisdiction, be it
a bomb threat or actual detonation. continued

Approximately 40 members from various
interested agencies within Fresno County were
gathered together as part of a bomb and ex
plosive training seminar, instructed by agents
of the A.T.F., and hosted by the Fresno County
Sheriff's Department. Those agencies
represented were police departments of Clovis,
Coalinga, Parlier, Selma, Sanger and Fresno;
the Fresno California Highway Patrol,
P.G.&E., Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
Railroads, and the California Division of
Forestry. The seminar, a 40-hour training
session, consisted of three days of classroom
study covering such areas as the nomenclature
of explosives and clandestine devices, special
handling techniques, bomb scene incidents,
evidence investigation, damage control, and
team concept. The latter, Mallory suggests, is
the most important, and the basic reason for
the seminar. "We have three agents within our
five-county jurisdiction to handle such in
cidents as may present themselves, and there is
just no way to do a proper job without the help
of you men here in attendance. Our hope is to
acclimate you to the do's and don'ts of an

explosion investigation and hope to hell the
years of 1969 and 1970 do not reappear."
Class study. was intense, with everyone in
attendance quick to realize that the subject
matter being presented was for a purpose vital
to any and all explosive investigations. Each
sequence of the course outline related to the
next, so strict attention was vital. Each in
structor was well prepared and very
knowledgeable ill his field. Although the hours
were long, the time passed quickly as class
interest mounted with each passing day.
"When we get through with you guys," con
tinued Mallory, "you will not only be able to
investigate a bomb scene properly, but will also
be able to tell what the bomb consisted of,
where it was placed, how it was contained, how
much as well as what kind of charge was used.
Bombers today are a screwy bunch of people
with various psychologies and motivations.
Some do it for the excitement, others merely for
destruction. Other causes, especially in the
early 70's, were anti-war and symbolic
etiological factors. Whatever the reason, they

are bad news and can play havoc with a given
community. "
Mallory continued by saying that a 1971
study revealed that 56% of all bomb arrests
were the result of student unrest, usuaHy
motivated toward a military cause; 19% the
result of the various black organizations; 14%
the white race organizations; 8% criminally
oriented as a form of extortion; 2% labor
dispute directioned, and 1 % religious beliefs.
He stated that by far the majority of all
bombers are either amateur or sub-professional
in their skill levels. The amateur has a low-level
planning attitude and chooses an easy target.
His bomb placement is usually ineffective, and
the amount of charge placed is either too much
or not enough. Thus, depending upon the
target, he either overkills or underkills.
"The professional, however," says Mallory,
"strikes without warning and usually does not
warn the community of his placement."
Mallory says the professional tailors his device
accordingly, attacks his target regardless of
security, usually works alone, and plans the
incident itself and his escape in detail. He will

rarely overkill, yet his target, and it alone, will
be completely destroyed.
"Most professionals are either within
organized crime or foreign government
indoctrinated," Mallory said, adding that there
are very few in this country. "They generally
cause little overall problems and, unlike the
amateur or sub-professional, are few in number
and selective in their target. The guy out to get
the est&blishment, however, can cause a
tremendous problem and, regardless of his
cause, can create panic within a given com
munity overnight."
Most of the problems facing A.T.F. agents
today are the result of dynamite thefts, usually
from construction sites. For this reason anyone
legally possessing dynamite is required to
report such thefts within 24 hours. If such a
theft is not reported a stiff fine is imposed, with
a second conviction resulting in a possible jail
sentence. "Then we have the clandestine
devices which are encountered on occasion.
And by the way," says Mallory, "we are not in
the business to render safe any device. A man

could get his head blown off doing a fool thing
like that. And believe me, some devices are
impossible to disarm in the first place. The
slightest movement, noise, or jarring may
activate such a device, thus the removal of such
an instrument from its placement is not only
impossible but suicidal! I've known such a
device sensitive enough to be activated by a
footstep. And then there are those with three or

detonate upon lifting or pressing it too tightly.

Military ordinance depots are also a prime
theft target for the bomber. Mallory says that
they are usually closely guarded, yet somehow,
and by some means, thefts always occur. He
related an incident in which a military or
dinance depot went unguarded for an entire
weekend. The guards, feeling their
replacements were soon to arrive, left their
posts, only to later find that due to confusion of
assignments no one bothered to show up at all.
"Guys were literally walking through the front
gate and hauling off weapons, grenades,
military dynamite and plastic explosives by the
arms full. "
The A.T.F., according to Mallory's
statistics, usually handles approximately 100
bomb threats per month. Practically all are a
hoax, he says; however, all are properly in
vestigated as a hoax cannot be assumed. "It is
important, however, that anyone handling a
bomb threat call keep calm. Panic and con
fusion at this point will spread like the plague,
and most of all may trigger the caller into an
impromptu decision which may create a
si tuation even he had not planned." Mallory

says that in receiving a call of this nature the
individual should ask questions, such as where
the bomb is placed, at what time it is to
detonate, and also the reason for such a
placement. The recipient should also note any
language irregularities, his state of emotion
(either or confused), and any background
noise.
Kids are also very interested in explosives.
Mallory related a recent investigation of two 13
year-olds who retrieved a quantity of reloading
powder from one child's father's locked garage
cabinet and proceeded to manufacture a pipe
bomb. As a result of the detonation in one of
the boy's back yards, a large fragment ripped
through the 1" x 12" fence, landing a block
and a half away in a second rear yard. One of
the capped ends went through and into a neigh
boring house -not through the window, but
through the dwelling wall itself. "The tragic
ending," says Mallory, "is that one of the two
boys is walking around today minus an arm.
They just don't realize what they are playing
with, " cried Mallory. "God, if they would only
realize!" continued

automobiles, using certain types of charges and
specified placements. "Notice the color of the
smoke as well as the sharpness of the blast,"
instructed Mallory. "A high order explosive
such as military TNT will have not only a
greyish colored smoke residue, but will result in
a sudden and sharp 'crack'." Mallory con
tinued by saying that commercial dynamite, on
the other hand, would give off a white/grey
colored smoke and would detonate with a
resounding "thud."

Team members spent the last day in
vestigating actual bombings. All available
evidence was photographed, collected,
analyzed and properly tagged and labelled for
an actual moot court presentation. At that
point a final determination was arrived at as to
what type of charge was set, the amount it
contained, and the method by which it was
detonated.
I can only speak for myself, but I am sure the
positive results of the bomb seminar were
echoed by all in attendance. Hats off to Bill
Mallory and agents Gagnon, Reeves and
Vizzard for a most informative week of
training.
One final thing we all learned and learned
quickly. Explosives are something not to be
toyed with; must sometimes, however, have to
be reckoned with; yet, much like a rattlesnake,
should always be respected!

MURDER
by Sgt. Robert Worstein
Homo Caedere, Latin words for man plus kill
or the killing of one person by another -words
that are straight from Webster's New World
Dictionary, now becoming more common and
familiar to the general public as well as to the
law enforcement officer. Homicide or murder is
almost becoming a household word as seen in
the various media each day. The daily
newspaper will almost always have some news
of a murder trial in progress, or the sentencing
of a suspect found guilty of murder. The
television stations are kept busy in the New
World of today bringing news and pictures of
homicides or murders. Why? Because the New
World of today is experiencing an unbelievable
rise in the number of murders of one person by
another.

The exact cause of this high percentage rise
in the homicide rate is unknown, but we do
know that a large percentage of all homicides
can be attributed to money, greed or passion.
We in law enforcement also know that drugs
and people who use or deal in drugs playa large
part in many other crimes that support the
drug industry. Drug users and drug dealers
depend almost 100% on thefts to support their
habits and to support the dealers. A recent
homicide case in Fresno County illustrated the
connection between homicide and drugs and
the attributes of money, greed and passion.
One person lost his life because of his failure to
pay money owed for drugs to a dealer. Another
person lost his freedom because of his greed for

stated the victim had a heroin habit which cost
him about $150.00 a day, and he dealt in drugs
in a neighboring county to support this habit.
The victim's family furnished investigators with
names and addresses of friends of the victim as
possible leads to his killer. The investigators
learned that most of the names supplied by the
family were well known to law enforcement in
the area as drug users or suppliers, as was the
victim. Thus the investigators began a long and
tedious search for the motive for the murder
and the person or persons responsible. The
investigation lasted several months and en
tailed the services of not only the Fresno County
Sheriff's Office but of several other counties
and two other state agencies. It also led them to
at least five different states. Eventually the
crime was solved and the persons responsible
were apprehended and are now serving time in
state prison.
The investigation started immediately after
the discovery of the victim's body and con
tinued for several months, with the final court
action and sentencing occurring eleven months
la ter. The investigation disclosed the victim
and several of his friends were heroin users and
dealers and the actual murder was committed
by hire, and the reason was a debt of money
owed by the victim for drugs to the person who
hired the killer. It was also learned that another
friend of the victim had died recently of an
overdose of heroin, and the victim was blamed
by his other friends for this death.
The final disposition of the case disclosed
that the actual gunman who fired the fatal
shots into the victim was hired by another to
perform this act and after apprehension ad
mitted this to the investigators and gave the
name of the person to the officers. This person
was also arrested and was found guilty in
Superior Court in the County of Fresno and
sentenced to prison.
Ironically, the gun used to kill the victim was
once his own property, and he sold it only a
short time before his death for a small amount
of money to purchase drugs.
Murder weapon discovered in the river where suspect
had disposed of it.

Katherine Leavitt
1943-1974
On January 31, 1974, veteran Sheriff's
Department employee Katherine Leavitt
retired after 31 years' service. "Katie" was born
in Fresno and graduated from Kerman High
School. She was self-employed as a bookkeeper
until 1942, when she worked for the govern
ment in Visalia. She studied nights at Fresno
Technical High School to learn shorthand and
entered employment with the Sheriff's
Department under Sheriff George Overholt in
February, 1943, as a stenographer-clerk.
Through the years Katie worked long and hard
to advance and achieved the position of Chief
Account Clerk for the Department, the position
she held at the time of her retirement.
Throughout the years of her association with
the county, Katie was active in many
professional and employee associations, serving
for six years on the Board of Directors of the
Fresno County Employee's Association.
She has three children, two daughters and a
son, as well as several grandchildren.
In her letter to the Sheriff announcing her
retirement, Katie expressed both happiness
and sorrow at leaving the Department after so
many years of service -happiness at the
prospect of staying in bed in the mornings and
sorrow over leaving the "greatest and best
Sheriff's Department in the State of Califor
nia." Such is the enthusiasm and dedication of
Katie Leavitt toward this department, a spirit
that will be sorely missed in the years ahead.
All who know her wish her the very best in
her well-earned years of leisure.

ERVIN FRANKE DONALD ROSS
Ervin Franke and Donald Ross transferred
from other Fresno County Departments to the
Fresno County Sheriff's Department late in
their careers.
Ervin Franke was the first custodian in the
remodeled Fresno County Detention facility.
He was with us for about four years. Needless to
say, Mr. Franke kept a tidy ship.
Donald Ross worked in building main
tenance for the County for many years and
most of that time was spent in maintaining the
jail. Don transferred to the Industrial Farm as
the Building Maintenance Engineer where he
kept things running smoothly.
We wish both of you the best in your future
years.

As policemen have come under increasing
criticism by various individuals and groups in
our society in recent years, I cannot help but
wonder how many times they have clenched
their teeth and wished they could expose their
critics to only a few of the harsh realities which
their job involves.
Persons such as myself, members of the
academic community, have traditionally been
quick to find fault with the police. From
isolated incidents reported in the various news
media, we have fashioned for ourselves a
stereotyped image of the police officer which
conveniently conforms to our notions of what
he is. We see the brutal cop, the racist cop, the
grafting cop, the discourteous cop. What we do
not see, however, is the image of thousands of
dedicated men and women struggling against
almost impossible odds to preserve our society
and everything in it which we cherish.
For some years, first as a student and later as
a professor of criminology, I found myself
troubled by the fact that most of us who write
books and articles on the police have never
been policemen ourselves. I began to be
bothered increasingly by many of my students

who were former policemen. Time and again,
they would respond to my frequently critical
lectures on the police with the argument that I
could not possibly understand what a police
officer has to endure in modern society until I
had been one myself. Under the weight of this
frustration, and my personal conviction that
knowledge has an applied as well as a
theoretical dimension, I decided to take up this
challenge: I would become a policeman myself
as a means of establishing once and for all the
accuracy of what I and other criminologists had
been saying about the police for so long.
From Professor to Cop
Suffice it to say that my announced intention
to become a uniformed patrolman was at first
met with fairly widespread disbelief on the part
of family, friends, and colleagues alike. At 31,
with a family and an established career as a
criminologist, I was surely an unlikely can
didate for the position of police recruit. The
very idea, it was suggested to me, was
outrageous and absurd. I was told that no

police administrator in his right mind would
allow a representative of the academic world to
enter his organization. It had never been done
and could not be done.
Fortunately, many of my students, who
either had been policemen or were at the time,
sounded a far more optimistic and enthusiastic
note. Police administrators and officers alike,
they said, would welcome the opportunity to
expose members of the academic community to
the problems of their occupation. If one of us
were really willing to see and feel the
policeman's world from behind a badge and
blue uniform, instead of from the safe and
comfortable vantage point of a classroom or
university office, police officers themselves
would do everything in their power to make the
opportunity available. Despite these assurances
from my policemen-students, I remained
keptical over my chances of being allowed to
do such an unorthodox thing.

country. I learned that Sheriff Carson and
Undersheriff Brown. two former FBI Agents,
had won considerable respect in the law en
forcement profession as enlightened and in
novative administrators.
The size and composition of Jacksonville, as
well as its nearness to my university and home,
made it appear to be an ideal location for what
I wished to do. Numbering just over one-half
million residents, Jacksonville impressed me as
being the kind of large and rapidly growing
American city which inevitably experiences the
major social problems of our time: crime and
delinquency, racial unrest, poverty, and mental
illness. A seaport and industrial center,
Jacksonville offered a diversity of urban,
suburban, and even rural populations in its
vast land area. I took particular note of the fact
that it contained a fairly typical inner-city slum
section and black ghetto, both of which were in
the process of being transformed through a
massive program of urban redevelopment. This
latter feature was especially important to me
insofar as I wanted to personally experience the
stresses and strains of today's city policeman. It
was, after all, he who had traditionally been the

subject of such intense interest and criticism on
the part of social scientists such as myself.
Much to my surprise. both Sheriff Carson
and Undersheriff Brown were not only sup
portive but enthusiastic as well over my
proposal to become a city patrolman. I made it
clear to them at the outset that I did not wish to
function as an observer or reserve officer, but
rather wanted to become a fully sworn and full
time member of their department for a period
of between 4 and 6 months. I further stated
that I hoped to spend most of this period
working as a uniformed patrolman in those
inner city beats most characterized by violence,
poverty, social unrest, and high crime rates.
They agreed to this, with the understanding
that I would first have to meet the same
requirements as any other police candidate. I
would, for example, have to submit to a
thorough character investigation, a physical
examination, and would have to meet the same
training standards applied to all other Florida
police officers. Since I was to be unpaid, I
would be exempted from departmental civil
service requirements.

Restyling an Image
Both Carson and Brown set about over
coming various administrative and insurance
problems which had to be dealt with in advance
of my becoming a police officer. Suppose, for
example, I should be injured or killed in the
line of duty, or should injure or kill someone
else. What of the department and city's
liability? These and other issues were gradually
resolved with considerable effort on their part.
The only stipulation set forth by both ad
ministrators was one with which I strongly
agreed: for the sake of morale and confidence
in the department, every officer must know in
advance exactly who I was and what I was
doing. Other than being in the unusual position
of a "patrolman-professor," I would be in
distinguishable from other officers in every
respect, from the standard issue .38 Smith and
Wesson revolver I would carry to the badge and
uniform I would wear.
The biggest and final obstacle which I faced
was the necessity that I comply fully with a 1967
Florida Police Standards law, which requires
that every police officer and deputy sheriff in

the State complete a minimum of 280 hours of
law enforcement training prior to being sworn
in and assigned to regular duty. Since I had a
full-time university job nearly 200 miles from
Jacksonville, this meant that I would be unable
to attend the regular sheriff's academy. I would
have to attend a certified academy in my own
area, something which I arranged to do with
Sheriff Carson's sponsorship.

For 4 months, 4 hours each evening and S
nights a week, I attended the Tallahassee area
police academy, along with 3S younger
classmates. As a balding intellectual, I at first
stood out as an oddity in the class of young men
destined to become local law enforcement
officers. With the passage of time, however,
they came to accept me and I them . We joked,
drank coffee, and struggled through various
examinations and lessons together. At first
known only as "the professor," the men later
nicknamed me "Doc" over my good-natured
protests.
As the days stretched into weeks and the
weeks into months, I took lengthy notes on the
interviewing of witnesses at crime scenes, in
vestigated imaginary traffic accidents, and
lifted fingerprints. Some nights I went home
after hours of physical defense training with my
uniformly younger and stronger peers with
tired muscles, bruises, and the feeling that I
should have my head examined for undertaking
such a rugged project. • As someone who had never fired a handgun,
I quickly grew accustomed to the noise of 3S
revolvers firing at the cardboard silhouettes
which our minds transformed into real
assailants at' the sound of the range whistle. I
learned how to properly make car stops, ap
proach a front door or darkened building,
question suspects, and a thousand other things
that every modern police officer must know.
After what seemed an eternity, graduation
from the academy finally came, and with it
what was to become the most difficult but
rewarding educational experience of my life: I
became a policeman.
The School ofHard Knocks
I will never forget standing in front of the
Jacksonville police station on that first day. I
felt incredibly awkward and conspicuous in the
new blue uniform and creaking leather.
Whatever confidence in my ability to "do the
job" I had gained during the academy seemed
to evaporate as I stood there watching other
blue figures hurrying in the evening rain toward
assembly. After some minutes, I summoned the
courage to walk into the station and into my
new career as a core city patrolman.
That first day seems long ago now. As I write

this, I have completed over 100 tours of duty as
a patrolman. Although still a rookie officer, so
much has happened in the short space of 6
months that I will never again be either the
same man or the same scientist who stood in
front of the station on that first day. While it is
hard to even begin to describe within a brief
article the many changes which have occurred
within me during this time, I would like to
share with fellow policemen and colleagues in
the academic community a few of what I regard
as the more important of what I will caIl my
"street lessons."
I had always personally been of the opinion
that police officers greatly exaggerate the
amount of verbal disrespect and physical abuse
to which they are subjected in the line of duty.
During my first few hours as a street officer, I
lived blissfully in a magic bubble which was
soon to burst. As a college professor, I had
grown accustomed to being treated with
uniform respect and deference by those I en
countered. I somehow naively assumed that
this same quality of respect would carryover
into my new role as a policeman. I was, after

a magnet which drew me toward many in
dividuals who hated what I represented.
I had discounted on my first evening the
warning of a veteran sergeant who, after
hearing that I was about to begin work as a
patrolman, shook his head and cautioned,
"You'd better watch yourself out there,
Professor! It gets pretty rough sometimes!" I
was soon to find out what he meant.
Several hours into my first evening on the
streets, my partner and I were dispatched to a
bar in the downtown area to handle a
disturbance complaint. Inside, we encountered
a large and boisterous drunk who was arguing
with the bartender and loudly refusing to leave.
As someone with considerable experience as a
correctional counselor and mental health
worker, I hastened to take charge of the
situation. "Excuse me, Sir," I smiled
pleasantly at the drunk, "but I wonder if I
could ask you to step outside and talk with me
for just a minute?" The man stared at me
through bloodshot eyes in disbelief for a
second, raising one hand to scratch the stubble
of several days growth of beard. Then sud
denly, without warning, it happened. He swung
at me, luckily missing my face and striking me
on the right shoulder. I couldn't believe it.
What on earth had I done to provoke such a
reaction? Before I could recover from my
startled condition, he swung again -this time
tearing my whistle chain from a shoulder
epaulet. After a brief struggle, we had the still
shouting, cursing man locked in the back of
our cruiser. I stood there, breathing heavily
with my hair in my eyes as I surveyed the
damage to my new uniform and looked in
bewilderment at my partner, who only smiled
and clapped me affectionately on the back.
Theory v. Practice
"Something is very wrong," I remember
thinking to myself in the front seat as we
headed for the jail. I had used the same kind of
gentle, rapport-building approach with
countless offenders in prison and probation
settings. It had always worked so well there.
What was so different about being a
policeman? In the days and weeks which
followed, I was to learn the answer to this

question the hard way. As a university
professor, I had always sought to convey to
students the idea that it is a mistake to exercise
authority, to make decisions for other people,
or rely upon orders and commands to ac
complish something. As a police officer myself,
I was forced time and again to do just that. For
the first time in my life, I encountered in
dividuals who interpreted kindness as
weakness, as an invitation to disrespect or
violence. I encountered men, women, and
children who, in fear, desperation, or ex
citement' looked to the person behind my blue
uniform and shield for guidance, control, and
direction. As someone who had always con
demned the exercise of authority, the ac
ceptance of myself as an unavoidable symbol of
authority came as a bitter lesson.
I found that there was a world of difference
between encountering individuals, as I had, in
mental health or correctional settings and
facing them as the patrolman must: when they
are violent, hysterical, desperate. When I put
the uniform of a police officer on, I lost the
luxury of sitting in an air-conditioned office
with my pipe and books, calmly discussing with

menace to my personal safety and the security
of our society. The felon was no longer a
harmless figure sitting in blue denims across
my prison desk, a "victim" of society to be
treated with compassion and leniency. He
became an armed robber fleeing from the scene
of a crime, a crazed maniac threatening his
family with a gun, someone who might become
my killer crouched behind the wheel of a car on
a dark street.
Lesson in Fear
Like crime itself, fear quickly ceased to be an
impersonal and abstract thing. It became
something which I regularly experienced. It
was a tightness in my stomach as I approached r
a warehouse where something had tripped a
silent alarm. I could taste it as a dryness in my o
mouth as we raced with blue lights and siren d
toward the site of a "Signal Zero" (armed and rt

condemned the officer who was now myself,
trembling with fear and anxiety and menacing
an "unarmed" assembly with an "offensive"
weapon. But circumstances had dramatically
changed my perspective. for now it was my life
and safety that were in danger, my wife and
child who might be mourning. Not "a
policeman" or Patrolman Smith -but me,
George Kirkham! I felt accordingly bitter when
saw the individual who had provoked this
near riot back on the streets the next night,
laughing as though our charge of "resisting
arrest with violence" was a big joke. Like my
partner, I found myself feeling angry and
frustrated shortly afterward when this same
individual was allowed to plead guilty to a
reduced charge of "breach of peace."
Loud Defendants and
Silen t Victims
As someone who had always been greatly
concerned about the rights of offenders, I now
began to consider for the first time the rights of
police officers. As a police officer, I felt that my
efforts to protect society and maintain my
personal safety were menaced by many of the
very court decisions and lenient parole board
actions I had always been eager to defend. An
educated man, I could not answer the questions
of my fellow officers as to why those who kill
and maim policemen, men who are involved in
no less honorable an activity than holding our
society together, should so often be subjected to
minor penalties. I grew weary of carefully
following difficult legal restrictions, while thugs
and hoodlums consistently twisted the law to
their own advantage. I remember standing in
the street one evening and reading a heroin
"pusher" his rights, only to have him convulse
with laughter halfway through and finish
reciting them, word for word. from memory.
He had been given his "rights" under the law,
but what about the rights of those who were the
victims of people like himself? For the first
time, questions such as these began to bother
me.
As a corrections worker and someone raised
in a comfortable middle class home. I had
always been insulated from the kind of human
misery and tragedy which become part of the

policeman's everyday life. Now, the often
terrible sights, sounds, and smells of my job
began to haunt me hours after I had taken the
blue uniform and badge off. Some nights I
would lie in bed unable to sleep, trying
desperately to forget the things I had seen
during a particular tour of duty: the rat
infested shacks that served as homes to those
far less fortunate than I, a teenage boy dying in
arms after being struck by a car, small
children clad in rags with stomachs bloated
from hunger playing in a urine-spattered hall,
the victim of a robbery senselessly beaten and
murdered.
In my new role as a police officer, I found
that the victims of crime ceased to be im
personal statistics. As a corrections worker and
criminology professor, I had never given much
thought to those who are victimized by
criminals in our society. Now the sight of so
many lives ruthlessly damaged and destroyed
by the perpetrators of crime left · me preoc
cupied with the question of society's respon
sibility to protect the men, women, and
children who are victimized daily.

For all the tragic victims of crime I have seen
during the past 6 months, one case stands out
above all. There was an elderly man who lived
with his dog in my apartment building
downtown. He was a retired bus driver and his
wife was long deceased. As time went by, I
became friends with the old man and his dog. I
could usually count on finding both of them
standing at the corner on my way to work. I
would engage in ·casual conversation with the
old man, and sometimes he and his dog would
walk several blocks toward the station with me.
They were both as predictable as a clock: each
evening around 7, the old man would walk to
the same small restaurant several blocks away,
where he would eat his evening meal while the
dog waited dutifully outside.
One evening my partner and I received a call
to a street shooting near my apartment
building. My heart sank as we pulled up and I
saw the old man's mutt in a crowd of people
gathered on the sidewalk. The old man was
lying on his back, in a large pool of blood, half
trying to brace himself on an elbow. He cltit

ched a bullet wound in his chest and gasped to
me that three young men had stopped him and
demanded his money. After taking his wallet
and seeing how little he had, they shot him and
left him on the street. As a police officer, I was
enraged time and again at the cruelty and
senselessness of acts such as this, at the
arrogance of brazen thugs who prey with
impunity on innocent citizens.
A Different Perspective
The same kinds of daily stresses which af,
fected my fellow officers soon began to take
their toll on me. I became sick and tired of
being reviled and attacked by criminals who
could usually find a most sympathetic audience
in judges and jurors eager to understand their
side of things and provide them with "another
chance." I grew tired of living under the ax of
news media and community pressure groups,
eager to seize upon the slightest mistake made
by myself or a fellow police officer.
As a criminology professor, I had always
enjoyed the luxury of having great amounts of
time in which to make difficult decisions. As a
police officer, however, I found myself forced to
make the most critical choices in a time frame
of seconds, rather than days: to shoot or not to
shoot, to arrest or not to arrest, to give chase or
let go -always with the nagging certainty that
others, those with great amounts of time in
which to analyze and think, stood ready to• judge and condemn me for whatever action I
might take or fail to take. I found myself not
only forced to live a life consisting of seconds
and adrenalin, but also forced to deal with
human problems which were infinitely more
difficult than anything I had ever confronted
in a correctional or mental health setting.
Family fights, mental illness, potentially ex
plosive crowd situations, dangerous individuals
-I found myself progressively awed by the
complexity of tasks faced by men whose work I
once thought was fairly simple and straight
forward.
Indeed, I would like to take the average
clinical psychologist or psychiatrist and invite
him to function for just a day in the world of the
policeman, to confront people whose problems
are both serious and in need of immediate

solution. I would invite him to walk, as I have,
into a smoke-filled pool room where five or six
angry men are swinging cues at one another. I
would like the prison counselor and parole
officer to see their client Jones -not calm and
composed in an office setting, but as the street
cop sees him -beating his small child with a
heavy belt buckle, or kicking his pregnant wife.
I wish that they, and every judge and juror in
our country, could see the ravages of crime as
the cop on the beat must: innocent people cut,
shot, beaten, raped, robbed, and murdered. It

perspective on crime and criminals, just as it

Humaneness in Uniform

humanity and compassion which seems to
characterize most of them. My own-stereotypes
of the brutal, sadistic cop were time and again
shattered by the sight of humanitarian kind

embarrassed when I discovered the bags of jelly
beans which he carried in the trunk of his car
for impoverished ghetto kids -to whom he
was the closest thing to an Easter Bunny they

his own pocket to a hungry and stranded family
he would probably never see again; and another
patrolman taking the trouble to drop by on his
own time in order to give worried parents in
formation about their problem son or
daughter.
As a police officer, I found myself repeatedly
surprised at the ability of my fellow patrolmen
to withstand the often enormous daily pressures
of their work. Long hours, frustration, danger,
and anxiety -all seemed to be taken in stride
as just part of the reality of being a COp. I went
eventually through the humbling discovery that
I, like the men in blue with whom I worked,
was simply a human being with definite limits
to the amount of stress I could endure in a

I recall in particular one evening when this
point was dramatized to me. It had been a
long, hard shift -one which ended with a
high-speed chase of a stolen car in which we
narrowly escaped serious injury when another
vehicle pulled in front of our patrol car. As we
•
checked off duty, I was vaguely aware of feeling
tired and tense. My partner and I were headed
for a restaurant and a bite of breakfast when we
both heard the unmistakable sound of breaking
glass coming from a church and spotted two
long-haired teenage boys running from the
area. We confronted them and I asked one for
identification, displaying my own police
identification. He sneered at me, cursed, and
turned to walk away. The next thing I knew I
had grabbed the youth by his shirt and spun
him around, shouting, "I'm talking to you,
punk!" I felt my partner's ann ort my shoulder
and heard his reassuring voice behind me,
"Take it easy, Doc!" I released my grip on the
adolescent and stood silently for several
seconds, unable to accept the inescapable
reality that I had "lost my cool." My mind
flashed back to a lecture during which I had

told my students, "Any man who is not able to
maintain absolute control of his emotions at all
times has no business being a police officer." I
was at the time of this incident director of a
human relations project designed to teach
policemen "emotional control" skills. Now here
I was, an "emotional control" expert, being

A CompJel: ChaJJenge
As someone who had always regarded
policemen as a "paranoid" lot, I discovered in
the daily round of violence which became part
of my life that chronic suspiciousness is
something that a good cop cultivates in the
interest of going home to his family each
evening. Like so many other officers, my daily
exposure to street crime soon had me carrying
an off-duty weapon virtually everywhere I went.
I began to become watchful of who and what
was around me, as things began to acquire a
new meaning: an open door, someone loitering
on a dark corner, a rear license plate covered
with dirt. My personality began to change

slowly according to my family, friends, and
coBeagues as my career as a policeman
progressed. Once quick to drop critical barbs
about policemen to intellectual friends, I now
became extremely sensitive about such remarks
-and several times became engaged in heated
arguments over them.
As a police officer myself, I found that
society demands too much of its policemen: not
only are they expected to enforce the law, but to
be curbside psychiatrists, marriage counselors,
social workers, and even ministers, and doc
tors. I found that a good street officer combines
in his daily work splinters of each of these
complex professions and many more. Certainly
it is unreasonable for us to ask so much of the
men in blue; yet we must, for there is simply no
one else to whom we can turn for help in the
kind of crises and problems policemen deal

with. No one else wants to counsel a family with
problems at 3 a.m. on Sunday; no one else
wants to enter a darkened building after a
burglary; no one else wants to confront a
robber or madman with a gun. No one else
wants to stare poverty, mental illness, and
human tragedy in the face day after day, to
pick up the pieces of shattered lives.
As a policeman myself, I have often asked
myself the questions: "Why does a man become
a cop?" "What makes him stay with it?" Surely
it's not the disrespect, the legal restrictions
which make the job increasingly rough, the
long hours and low pay, or the risk of being
killed or injured trying to protect people who
often don't seem to care.
The only answer to this question I have been
able to arrive at is one based on my own limited
experience as a policeman. Night after night, I
came home and took off the badge and blue
uniform with a sense of satisfaction and
contribution to society that I have never known
in any other job. Somehow that feeling seemed
to make everything -the disrespect, the
danger, the boredom -worthwhile.
An Invaluable Education
For too long now, we in America's colleges
and· universities have conveyed to young men
and women the subtle message that there is
somehow something wrong with "being a cop."
It's time for that to stop. This point was for
cibly brought home to me one evening not long
ago. I had just completed a day shift and had to
rush back to the university with no chance to
change out of uniform for a late afternoon
class. As I rushed into my office to pick up my
lecture notes, my secretary's jaw dropped at the
sight of the uniform. "Why, Dr. Kirkham,
you're not going to go to class looking like that,
are you?" I felt momentarily embarrassed, and
then struck by the realization that I would not
feel the need to apologize if I appeared before
my students with long hair or a beard. Free love
advocates and hatemonger revolutionaries do
not apologize for their group memberships, so
why should someone whose appearance
symbolizes a commitment to serve and protect
society? "Why not," I replied with a slight
smile, "I'm proud to be a cop!" I picked up my
notes and went on to class.

Let me conclude this article by saying that I
would hope that other educators might take the
trouble to observe firsthand some of the
policeman's problems before being so quick to
condemn and pass judgment on the thin blue
line. We are all familiar with the old expression
which urges us to refrain from judging the
worth of another man's actions until we have
walked at least a mile in his shoes. To be sure, I
have not walked that mile as a rookie
patrolman with barely 6 months' experience.
But I have at least tried the shoes on and taken
a few· difficult steps in them. Those few steps
have given me a profoundly new understanding
and appreciation of our police, and have left
me with a humbling realization that possession
of a Ph. D. does not give a man a corner on
knowledge, or place him in the lofty position
where he cannot take lessons from those less
educated than himself.

THE CORONER
PAST AND PRESENT
by Dimas Cardoso and Richard Tobin
The Word "Coroner" is derived from the
term "Crowner." The Crowner was an eleventh
century English Royal Official who was the
King's personal representrative and in
vestigated local matters, collected taxes and
reported directly to the King.
In the 1500's, the word "Coroner" first
appeared in English legal documents, and at
the same time the present functions and duties
were recognized. English settlers brought
English law, and thus the position of Coroner
was established in American law.
With California's admission into the Union,
the state constitution provided for the election
of Coroner as the chief law enforcement officer
in each county. State law still provides that the
Coroner replace the county Sheriff, if he is
unwilling or unable to act.
When Fresno County was chartered in 1856,
one of the first county officials elected was the

Coroner. In 1892, the offices of Coroner and
Public Administrator were combined. In 1896,
the position of Coroner was again made a
separate office. The voters of Fresno County, in
1950, combined the offices of Coroner and
Sheriff.
Administratively, the Coroner's Bureau is a
subdivision of the Sheriff's Department under
the administrative direction of the Un
dersheriff. The staff consists of one Sergeant,
four Deputy Coroners and one receptionist.
The Coroner is a county officer acting under
the authority of provisions of the California
Government Code, Health and Safety Code and
Penal Code. There are specific laws which
define the Coroner's powers and which vest him
with the right and duty to investigate certain
classes of death. Primarily, it shall be the duty
of the Coroner to investigate the manner,

means. and cause of death, and to classify such
deaths.
In Fresno County, Coroner cases have nearly
doubled since fifteen years ago, with staffing
remammg the same. Therefore, Deputy
Coroners work many hours, over 40 hours a
week. but a large percentage of the time is on
standby time.
The Coroner's Bureau works very closely
with all the law enforcement agencies
throughout the county and, on various oc
casions, throughout the state. The bureau
develops information pertaining to accidents or
incidents occurring where injuries were a
contributing factor as to cause of death.
Generally, the most frequent designation of
calls will consist of the following: Natural
Death, death due wholly to natural causes;
Traffic, any vehicle accident on public roads or
highways; Motor Vehicle-Nontraffic, vehicle
accidents on private property; Miscellaneous
Accidents, any accidental mishap which
directly causes or contributes to the cause of
death, including falls where fractures are
sustained; Industrial Accidents, any accident
which occurs during a course of employment,
excluding traffic accidents on public roadways;
Suicide, or Homicides. There have been in
stances where after exhaustive investigations,
determinations and circumstances, the causes
are still unknown.
The Deputy Coroner may consult with
various law enforcement agencies, family
members, doctors, review medical charts,
request post-mortem examinations and various
laboratory tests in order to establish cause of
death. The most difficult task of the Deputy
Coroner is notifying the next of kin. The
Coroner is also responsible for all properties
and valuables found on the decedent. In cases
where there is no next of kin or the next of kin
is from out of state, the Public Administrator's
Office is advised as to disposition of the
remains and valuables or properties.

Is your curiosity hurting someone or helping?
Think about this a minute. The next time you
pick up the telephone to call some police
agency to find out what that loud boom was,
are you stopping someone who might be in
great need of emergency services from using the
phone? Maybe you will be in need of emergency
services someday, and you might not be able to
obtain them because of someone's uncontrolled
curiosity.
A classic example of this was in May, 1974,
V:'hen two dams in Madera County were under
construction. There was blasting to be done at
the site. Each time a large blast was set off the
emergency telephone lines at the Fresno County
Sheriff's Department lit up like a Christmas
tree. None of the calls received was reporting
any damage -they just wanted to know what
was going on. All emergency lines were jammed
for over 10 minutes. I might ask, what good it
does to call a police agency to see if we have had
an earthquake or disaster. All you are doing is
jamming the lines and keeping vital reports at a
possible disaster scene from being reported.
Attention might be needed immediately for life
saving services, and there you stand with the
telephone in your hand asking, "What hap
pened?" What if someone in your family
needed an ambulance right away and you could
not get through due to curious people calling
the police? If you are concerned, turn your
radio and television on and listen. If there is a
disaster your television and radio stations will
announce it shortly.
On the other hand, if you see or hear
something that should be reported, then by all
means contact your emergency service agency
continued
67
right away . We need your eyes and ears to help
people by reporting an incident or accident.
Another example of uncontrolled curiosity is
people who follow emergency vehicles. The
California Penal Code Section 402 states the
following:
IMPEDING POLICE, FIREMEN OR OTHER
OFFICIALS AT SCENE OF DISASTER,
MISDEMEANOR, Every person who goes to the
scene of a disaster, or stops at the scene of a disaster,
for the purpose of viewing the scene or the activities of
policemen, firemen, other emergency personnel, or
military personnel coping with the disaster in the
course of their duties during the time it is necessary
for emergency vehicles or such personnel to be at the
scene of the disaster or to be moving to or from the
scene of the disaster for the purpose of protecting lives
or property, unless it is part of the duties of such
person's employment to view such scene or activities,
and thereby impedes such policemen, firemen,
emergency personnel or military personnel in the
performance of their duties in coping with the
disaster, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
For the purposes of this section, a disaster includes
a fire, explosion, an airplane crash, flooding, wind
storm damage, a railroad accident, or a traffic ac
cident.
Many times curiosity has cost the victim of
an emergency precious time and money by
curiosity seekers impeding police and firemen.
I recall an incident that happened in Fresno
County. Curiosity seekers were out in force at
the scene of a fire. Little did they know the
danger they were in. Explosives were near and
the building was already partially destroyed.
The crowd impeded the fire department on
their arrival by parking cars everywhere and
standing in the way. The Sheriff's Department
was attempting to move the crowd away from
danger and out of the Fire Department's way
when the crowd began yelling negative com

The last example of uncontrolled curiosity I
call fatal curiosity. It is still hard for me to
believe what happened during a recent gun
battle between armed suspects and police
agencies. There stand the curious in the middle
of a gunfight. People seem to come from
everywhere, and they seem to enjoy the gun
battle. Police agencies try to keep the people
back from danger, but you should hear the
negatiave comments about being moved to
safety. I think people watch too much television
and they feel they are immortal. Let the police
do their job for you and stay ou t of the way.
Think before you go looking for trouble.
Report it to the police, and then stay away from
the scene. Learn more about an accident from
TVand radio -don't tie up emergency phone
lines seeking unnecessary information.
Emergency services may some day save your life
-if phone lines are open.

THE BIG PUBLIC RIP-OFF
(BURGLARIES)
It is the intention of this interview to make
the public aware of some problems the police
are having with burglaries. It also points up
some of the things the public can do to help
protect their property and the property of their
neighbors. Fresno County has a very high
burglary rate.
For several years, deputies in the field have
been asked numerous questions regarding
burglars by citizens in our community. The
staff of this year's Review compiled many
questions and asked your questions of the
Sheriff's Departments Burglary Detail in the
following interview. Staff members Deputies
Tom Gattie, John Maier and Mike Satterberg
asked the questions. Detectives Gordon Taber,
Tommy Kerns, Larry Hill and Sergeant Bill
Shuman responded with the following answers.

WHAT DOES A BURGLAR LOOK LIKE?
Burglars come in all sizes, shapes, colors, ages
and both sexes. They can be from the middle·
income white collar worker to your highest or

Anybody can become a burglar if the op
portunity presents itself. In Fresno County,
approximately 70 % of our burglars are drug
addicts, and the balance is made up mostly of
juveniles.

WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE TURN TO
BURGLARY AS A POSSIBLE WAY OF
LIVING? Either a person who is lazy or a drug
addict may turn to burglary as a way of sur
viving. Drug addicts must turn to crime to live,
and burglary is for them a way in which they
can keep their drug habit going. Juveniles in
increasing numbers are turning to burglary.
ARE THERE PROFESSIONAL BURGLARS
THAT ARE NON-DRUG ADDICTS? There
are very few, but most professionals are drug
addicts. Some otherwise legitimate
businessmen support the professional burglar
because of their greed. It's that few extra
dollars under the table that allow this burglar
to survive. A professional burglar must fence
his stolen property to a source that can sell this
property.
DO DRUG ADDICTS HAVE A COM
MUNITY OF THEIR OWN? Yes. Drug
addicts tend to run with drug addicts.
Therefore, they talk over what the other drug
addicts have been doing. If he is successful in

WHAT TYPE OF VEHICLES DO
BURGLARS USE IN BURGLARIES? All
types of vehicles. Be especially aware of vans.
Vans with curtains can carry a lot of property
away undetected.
ARE BURGLARS LEERY OF ANY NOISE?
Burglar alarm systems will scare burglars away.
They usually do not want to attract attention
and therefore are very leery about any noise
they might create. They are not afraid of a
radio inside the house.
DO MOST BURGLARS WORK ALONE?
Usually not; they work in twos or threes.
WHAT ARE THE METHODS OF
BURGLARS? The door knob twist with pliers
or the front door kick-in are used quite a bit.
Some slip windows or they look for open
windows or doors.
DO BURGLARS SPECIALIZE? Yes. Certain
individuals strike only against mobile homes,
garages and vehicles. Some specialize in what
they take, such as tools, televisions, cameras,
guns, jewelry and stereos.

type of burglary can be stopped by neighbors

WHAT DO BURGLARS LOOK FOR OR
KEY ON WHEN THEY ARE OUT TO
COMMIT A BURGLARY? The first thing
they look for is inactivity. Another thing is the
open garage door without a vehicle inside. This
is a sure give-away that nobody is home. Other
indications a~e lights on all the time,
newspapers and mail out front, and shades
pulled down in the daytime. One way to keep
them from keying on your house when you are
away is to have a friend or neighbor change or
take care of all the above.
Another thing burglars will do is come up to
your front door and knock. If you answer, they
will ask for someone who doesn't live there and
then leave. If they receive no answer, then they
burglarize the house. Report anyone that
follows the above pattern to the police. Be sure
to get the description of the person and their
car. If you do the above, you will definitely
reduce burglaries. Most burglars are caught
from leads from the public. The police are
happy to check out this type of person because
it usually results in catching a burglar.

WHY PUT GOOD LOCKS ON THE

will completely stop all burglars, but with
proper locks, the property loss will be lowered
because the burglar will have to enter through a

climbing out of a window attracts attention.

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND TO THE
PUBLIC TO BUY A BURGLAR ALARM?
YES. Why? Because it will cut down on the
property losses. A burglar alarm will not stop a
burglar, but it will cut down on the amount of
time the burglar will have inside your home.
The best burglar alarm is your neighbors, if
they will get involved.

DO YOU THINK LONGER PRISON SEN
SENTENCES WOULD HELP SLOW DOWN
BURGLARIES? Yes.
WHY? Because the person would be off the
street longer. A 60-day sentence vs. a couple of
years -you figure it out. When your place has
been burglarized and 60 days later you see the
same suspect back on the streets, you have to
wonder where justice has gone. Longer sen
tences would make the suspect think twice
about going back to prison for another long
sentence. Burglars now feel they can do 60 days
to 6 months standing on their head, but not so
with 2 to 5 years.

DEPARTMENT AND THE FRESNO
POLICE DEPARTMENT STOP OR
REDUCE BURGLARIES IN FRESNO
COUNTY? Largely because people don't want
to get involved, Another reason is Fresno's
geographical location. Fresno is right in the
middle of the state, and most drugs travel
through the valley. Very few drug addicts are
rehabilitated. They are caught and sent to the
California Rehabilitation Center for six months
to a year and then they are right back where
they left off. A regular burglar would receive up
to five years in prison. Therefore, it is much
better for the burglar to be a drug
because of the lesser sentence. This area is a
hereoin haven because of all the
people.
WHO CAN STOP BURGLARIES? Only you,
with the help of the police.

DOES CARE
A New Approach
to Handling
Rape Cases
Recognizing the need for a new and modern
approach to the care and handling or rape
victims, the Fresno County Sheriff's Depart
ment instigated the so-called "Rape Squad."
On April 1, 1974, the Rape Victim Interview
Project began. Its main purpose was to in
terview female rape victims by female
detectives.
This project started with four different
female deputies in the Fresno County Sheriff's
Department being qualified to conduct these
interviews, each of them handling or assisting
on many cases, but the squad narrowed down
to its present one full-time member. Deputy '
Sheriff Millie Kosmosky was transferred from
the Women's Detention Facility to the
Detective Division, with her primary duties

being the care and handling of female rape
victims. She will also conduct other in
vestigations when not busy on rape cases, but
she is on call twenty-four hours a day for rape
cases. The other three qualified members are
also on call to assist her or to fill in when she is
either busy on another rape case or unavailable
on her time off.
Many times in the past it was noted that
female rape victims were reluctant to discuss
the crime with a male investigator due to the
very embarrassing nature of the crime itself.
Many victims were unable to fully divulge all
the facts of the case due to embarrassment, and
therefore a strong case against the suspect was
not possible and the rapist would go free of
punishment. It was also noted that the victim
was much more at ease and less embarrassed
and able to give full details to a female deputy
whenever one was present during the interview.
Thus the need for female investigators for this
type of crime was very apparent.
Most victims seem to appreciate being in
terviewed by a woman instead of a male,
especially young girls or victims of complicated
or perverted rapes, because this type of case
can become embarrassing to both the victim
and the male deputies conducting the in
terview. Despite the image portrayed on
television, the male detective is not quite the
calloused and hard-spoken interviewer of rape
victims as shown so many times in the media. A
large percentage of the rapes are not reported
because the victim does not wish to be em
barrassed or bring embarrassment to her
family, husband or friends.
Deputy Millie Kosmosky is fully qualified
for this position as she has been with the
Fresno County Sheriff's Department for several
years, working both in the Women's Jail and
now in the Detective Division. Millie is happily
married and a mother and a mature person
whose age we will not divulge. She is known
and respected by her fellow detectives, both
male and female, and by her superior officers
who have assigned her to this difficult job.
When a victim of rape comes to the attention
of this Department, Millie is assigned to the
investigation as soon as possible and in many
cases is the first person to actually interview the
victim after the initial contact by a field deputy

and the fact of the crime established. She will
see that the victim is examined not only for
injuries but for actual proof that the crime of
rape was committed, and she will have the
doctor check for physical evidence that can be
used in court such as semen samples or pubic
hair from the rapist. The field deputies will
only ask enough questions to be reasonably
sure that a rape has been committed and will
then turn the investigation over to Detective
Kosmosky. Millie will then do all of the in
terviewing of the rape victim herself and will
seek assistance from other detectives to search
the crime scene for evidence and to make the

Of all the violent crimes in this country, rape
is now the fastest growing or most repeating. In
1972 there were approximately 46,000 forcible
rapes reported, and 50,000 or more in both
1973 and 1974. We feel that more rapes are
being reported now that we have this new in
vestigating program. We are hopeful that the
conviction rate will increase from its present
one-half of one percent of all cases to a much
more believable rrate of conviction due to the
more modern approach and the gaining of
more details and evidence from the victim.
Not only are law enforcement officers
becoming more aware of this new approach to
the handling of rape victims, but so are the
prosecuting attorneys and the court judges. A
recent seminar was conducted in Fresno by the
Fresno Rape Counseling Service for an
audience of deputy district attorneys. It was
designed so that they might better understand
both sides or views of how a rape case can be
handled with the least amount of em
barrassment to the victim and still obtain all
the evidence necessary for a successful
prosecution.

A Burglar Leaves
A Calling Card
A citizen called the Fresno County Sheriff's
Department during 1974 to report his home
had been broken into. Deputy Robert MagiH, a
patrolman in the Uniformed Field Division,
arrived at the scene in a few minutes.
Deputy Magill contacted the victim and
began a preliminary investigation immediately.
After getting the victim's story, he searched the
outside perimeter of ' the residence. He
discovered the point of entry made by the
suspect(s). However, a search for tracks and
clues outside the house was less fruitful. He
entered the house carefully. He did not want to
destroy any evidence. The victim listed the
missing items.
Due to the type of search the suspect(s)
made, Deputy Magill requested the assistance

of the Identification Bureau. Criminologist
Wes Sarmento a specially trained Deputy in the
gathering and identification of all evidence,
arrived on the scene. Before Sarment arrived,
Magill had removed the victim from the scene
and secured the area.
While Sarment worked in the house, Magill
checked with the neighbors to ascertain if they
might have observed or heard anything
unusual. Magill's efforts were fruitless.
However, while Sarment was carefully going
over the scene he discovered a wallet with
identification cards inside which did not belong
to the victim. This information plus additional
clues developed a suspect. This information
was passed on to the Detective Division.
Detectives Richard Guthrie and Tommy
Kerns began the follow-up work by contacting
the person to whom the waBet belonged. After
he was advised of his rights, the male adult
suspect stated he had lost his wallet. His
mother was contacted at the same time and she
consented to the house being searched after
being advised of the facts of the case and her
rights.
In the sleeping area of the suspect's room,
part of the stolen property was observed in
plain sight. The suspect stated he had owned
the property in question for the past two years.
I t was determined by the detectives the suspect
was a heroin user. After this information was
revealed to the suspect, he decided to
cooperate.
The suspect stated he was high on drugs on
the day of the burglary. He found the victim's
residence and broke out a window to gain

entry. He stole several items to sell for money to
buy drugs. He needed the drugs right away.
The detectives asked the suspect if he could
recover the property taken in the burglary. He
stated he would help the detectives and began
by telling where the property was sold. The
suspect was transported to the house where the
stolen property had been bought by a fence.
The suspect pointed out one of the subjects in
front of the house as the person who had
purchased the stolen items. This subject knew
the items were stolen. Inside this house, the
suspect had observed many items that he
believed to be stolen. He gave descriptions of
the items to the detectives.
The suspect was then booked into the County
of Fresno Detention Facility.
The above case, together with another
criminal case involving the purchasing of stolen
items from the above fence, revealed a pattern.
With this information a search warrant was
obtained. The deputies armed with the search
warrant went to the fence's house. He answered

Over the past several years, the general public
has become aware of the fact that the crime
rate has been on a steady increase throughout
the state. What most people do not realize is
that vehicle thefts have been increasing in
California at a higher rate than the rest of the
nation and that nationally California ranks
third highest in vehicle theft losses. One out of
every six major crimes in California is a vehicle
theft. In California alone this crime has in
creased an average of eight percent in the last
three years while the recovery rate of stolen
vehicles has dropped from ninety to eighty
percent.

has the dubious distinction of having the third
highest rate of vehicle thefts in the state of
California, the leading counties being those of
Los Angeles and San Francisco. Smaller in
population, Fresno County leads the major
metropolitan areas of San Jose, San Diego and
Sacramento in total losses due to car thefts.
Because of its central location in the San
Joaquin Valley, Fresno County has become a
convenient convergence site for auto theft
groups operating throughout the state.
Statistics show that every month more cars are
recovered here than are stolen within the
county limits. This can be attributed to

vehicles being stolen in other areas such as San
Francisco, San Jose or Southern California and
dropped at this location because the individuals
are either coming into the Central Valley for
work or removing Fresno area vehicles to
continue on to other destinations.
Because of this burgeoning problem, it be
came apparent that an expanded and intensive
anti-vehicle theft program must be undertaken.
This would be done in conjunction with the
California Highway Patrol, which had
traditionally been the major vehicle theft in
vestigator in the county. Therefore, in the
summer of 1973, a federal grant was applied
for to help fund equipment, supplies and
manpower for a proposed vehicle theft unit
within the Fresno County Sheriff's Depart
ment.
In October, 1973, the grant was approved. It
had four major objectives. The first goal was to
reduce the number of vehicle thefts in Fresno
County by five percent; the second goal, to
increase by the same percentage the number of
vehicles recovered. Thirdly, a program was to
be established to divert juvenile offenders away
from vehicle theft activities and, lastly, the
Fresno County Sheriff's Department would be ·
responsible for coordination of individual
. efforts by other law enforcement agencies to
attack the problem.
Manpower for the auto theft detail was
selected and consisted of a sergeant, three
investigators, a field inspector and a secretary.
Because of problems in obtaining some of the
basic equipment and also the fact that vehicle
theft prevention was to be a new undertaking
for the Sheriff's Department, the men spent the
entire month of November training on a day-to
day basis with the California Highway Patrol.
They travelled to Sacramento where they
became acquainted with the resources of the
Department of Motor Vehicles and, in ad
dition, several of the deputies in the unit at
tended the California Peace Officers Standards
and Training Basic Auto Theft Academy in San
Jose. The vehicle theft investigators joined with
other agencies in the San Joaquin Valley in
establishing a Central California chapter of the
Association of Western States Auto Theft
Investigators.

was officially activated, and the Fresno County
Sheriff's Department became the primary
agency in Fresno County concerned with
vehicle theft. A records system was set up
within the detail to assist the investigators,
answer inquiries from the public and facilitate
the gathering of statistics. Included in this
system is the maintenance of ledgers containing
descriptions of stolen vehicles, license and
vehicle identification numbers, the stolen and
recovery locations of all vehicles reported to the
Sheriff's Department and the recovery con
dition and disposition of such vehicles. As an
additional aid, there is a suspect and victim
card index maintained.
Within its boundaries Fresno County has
four junk yards where old or damaged vehicles
are brought and crushed for recycleable metal.
Throughout the state this type of facility has
always had a number of stolen cars processed
through it, thereby eliminating any chance for
law enforcement to recover the . vehicles or
identify the suspects. Some action had to be
taken to forestall this problem. The unit
researched and discovered a county ordinance
dealing with the junking of vehicles. I~n-

ferences with the District Attorney's Office it
was determined that this was an enforceable
ordinance and in April, after meeting with the
owners of the yards, the field inspector from the
auto theft unit began making daily inspections
of all vehicles to be crushed. The ordinance
made it mandatory that an individual selling a
vehicle to a junk yard provide positive iden
tification of himself and ownership of the
vehicle to be destroyed. The yards themselves
were required to retain the vehicle in its original
condition for a minimum of ten days until the
Sheriff's Department processed the vehicle,
correctly established ownership and ascer
tained if it was, in fact, stolen. This is perhaps
the only ordinance of its kind in the entire state
of California, and enforcement of it has
resulted in the recovery of many stolen vehicles
which would have otherwise been
unrecoverable. The ordinance has also resulted
in the identification and apprehension of
several auto theft suspects.

from the four major law enforcement agencies ROBERT N. LE ROY

Fresno city police departments, the California
Highway Patrol and the Sheriff's Department.
This task force was established to allow in
vestigators from the individual agencies to pool
their information and resources and to coor
dinate their activities to effectively combat auto
theft. There are two outstanding examples of
such inter-agency cooperation.
In August, information was received that
burglary suspects were stealing automobiles
from Valley Medical Center parking lots. The
individuals would then take these vehicles into
rural Fresno County, commit a daylight
burglary of a residence, transport the stolen
property to Fresno, dispose of it and abandon
the car in the general area from which it had
been stolen. Personnel from the Police

aliens, including two burg]ary suspects, were
arrested, two stolen cars were recovered and
property taken in a burglary that day was also
recovered. Prior to the raid, employees and
patrons of Valley Medical Center had stolen
from the parking lot over 27 cars in less than
three weeks. After the raid, the vehicle theft
rate at the hospital immediately dropped to
between one and two cars per week.
Another task force operation took place
during the Fresno County Fair when the
Sheriff's Department Auto Theft Detail, the
California Highway Patrol and a large number
of Reserve Deputies participated in a plain
clothes surveillance of vehicles in the parking
lots and streets adjacent to the Fairgrounds.
Numerous thefts both of and from vehicles were
prevented by this nightly patrol. In 1972, 65
cars were stolen during the lO-day fair; in 1974,
16 cars were stolen during the 13 days of the
fair. Also effected were 19 felony arrests
ranging from vehicle thefts and vehicle
burglaries in progress to possession of narcotics
and illegal weapons.
Also established during the summer was a
vehicle theft advisory board. This board
consists of community representatives and
middle management law enforcement per
sonnel throughout the county who offer

problem of auto thefts. The average citizen fails Vehicle Theft Advisory Board, the Sheriff's
to realize that over 350 vehicles a month are Department continues to combat vehicle theft
stolen within the county boundaries and that in this county.
there is something he can do to reduce this. The
public awareness campaign consists of radio
and television public service announcements,
billboards, bumper stickers, bus and window
posters all featuring a fictional crooked
character by the name of Otto Ripoff.
Numerous agencies and individuals within the
city and county have assisted in providing
means of getting the message out to the public.
A local businessman, for example, donated the
use of a stripped and burned vehicle. The
vehicle was a $9,000 customized van which had
been stolen from a coastal community, brought
to Fresno, stripped and burned and was now
worth $75. This vehicle, along with a new
customized van also loaned by another
businessman, was set up as display at the
Fresno County Fair manned by Sheriff's
Department Reserves and Explorer Scouts. To
date, this has proved to be our most effective
means of delivering the anti-vehicle theft
message.
As another facet of this public awareness
program, a local area grocery store is making
arrangements to have vehicle theft slogans
printed on its grocery bags. Through
cooperation with the City of Fresno, the auto
theft message of "Lock It or Lose It" has been
stenciled on city owned and operated parking
facilities. The Sheriff's Department Explorer
Post, working in conjunction with the Fresno
Police Department Explorer Post, has been
patrolling the four major shopping centers in
metropolitan Fresno, checking vehicles for keys
left in the ignitions, unlocked vehicles con
taining packages, etc. The scouts contact the
owner of the vehicle when he returns to make
him aware of the potential danger and enlist his
cooperation in trying to eliminate the problem.
The public's response to this has been very
encouraging. The number of manhours ex
pended by both the Explorer Scout Posts and
the Sheriff's Department Reserves has been one
of the biggest factors in the year-old vehicle
theft prevention program.
The federal grant terminated in January,
1975, but the problem did not. With the

COMMERCIAL
RIPOFF
by Tom Gattie
Commercial ripoff also known as
shoplifting and petty theft -is attempting to
sneak its way into America's number one spot
as the national pastime. Petty theft has always
led the crime statistics as the most frequently
committed theft-related crime. While a
majority of its participants previously had been
juveniles, the new trend includes a large
number of adults in every economic and social
range.
The apple from the sidewalk vendor, or the
small package of fishing weights from the
sporting goods area of the department store,
has led to "bigger and better things." Adults
and juveniles have become both more
sophisticated and more bold in their acts of
theft. To some of us it is inconceivable that a

person could walk out of a department store
with a lawn mower, a sewing machine or an
expensive fur coat without paying, and not be
apprehended. Numerous tricks or tools of the
trade are often used, but the majority of thieves
use nothing more than intestinal fortitude and
the belief that the average salesperson is either
too ignorant or too afraid to challenge them
about the theft which is occurring. Ask the
seasoned thief what he has in his pocket or
purse and you will usually get the stock answer,
"Nothing." Straight-faced, without a show of
emotion, the "professional thief" will attempt
to bluff his way out of this situation by making
store personnel believe they really 'didn't see
what had just transpired.

suspect
•
Commercial businesses are now countering
the thief's basic philosophy with well trained
and experienced store security personnel.
Security personnel include off-duty and ex
police officers, students and graduates of
criminology, and even a few rehabilitated ex
thieves who have learned to put their prior
experience to work in legitimate channels.
Sophisticated equipment, including detection
monitors, closed circuit television, cameras,
mirrors, and magnetic price tags, are being
introduced to curb the upward-spiraling trend.
But as one local department store security
supervisor admits, "We have only begun to
scratch the surface of the problem." The nickel
and dime thief will probably never be totally
eliminated, and the professional type learns
new methods faster than prevention personnel
do. As the thief's daring increases, so does the
size of the losses.
Proving a case is often difficult, even after a
has been apprehended. Detailed
reports pinpointing each move of the suspect
and each observation by the witness must be
compiled. Marking of evidence, signing formal
complaints, and testifying in court are added

requirements of security personnel. The cost of
theft, and the costs of preventing thefts, are
borne by you, the consumer.
Take the example of Michael. Michael is
twenty-three years old. with two prior arrests
for petty theft. Michael enters a large suburban
shopping center wearing aT-shirt and a pair of
well-worn levis. Michael decides to window
shop inside the store but does not have any
money. First, he decides a change of wardrobe
is in order. A new pair of slacks, shirt, mod
shoes and flashy socks are removed from
display. A new belt, watch, ring. checker chain
are in order, and to top it off, a leather vest.
Into a dressing stall and shortly thereafter
emerges Michael, a shining knight in new
armor, wearing everything he has just "pur
chased." Michael exits the store pursued by
store security personnel, who have alertly
observed the entire incident. Michael is ap
prehended outside of the store by store security
and police who were notified while the theft was
in progress. Michael is booked into jail, the
clothing is inventoried and the bill comes to
$236.00. While the story of Michael is true, the

problem it presents is even more real; every
"purchase" by a thief means you pay too.
Increased consumer costs are used to recover
the loss created by thefts.
Shoplifting is the clean term used to remove
the shame of stealing. No matter how it is
rationalized or explained, the results and
implications are the same. While the case of
Michael clearly shows an act of theft, there are
other acts of theft that are not so clear.
Examples of this include changing price tags,
consuming food products in the store and
failing to pay for them, and knowingly ac
cepting too much change from a cashier after a
purchase. A large segment of our "honest"
population attempt to rationalize this behavior
with phrases such as, "The price is too high,"
"They make plenty of money, they will never
miss it," and "It serves that dumb cashier
right." We complain that prices are too high,
but allow our compulsion for personal gain to
override our sense of honesty. The answer to
the problem is not an easy one, as we have
become geared to trying to accept this defiant
behavior as a socio-economic way of life.
Each one of us, as consumers, have an
obligation and an opportunity to rectify this
unnecessary expenditure of our hard-earned
money. If you observe a theft in progress within
a store, notify a clerk or salesperson. And the
next time you find the line at the checkout
stand a little too long to suit you, don't slip that
item into your purse or pocket and walk out of
the store without paying. Remember, even an
"honest" person who steals is a thief.

SEVEN
In 1974, the Fresno County Sheriff's
Department set up and organized seven
substations in the outlying unincorporated
areas. The purpose of the restructure was to
increase the efficiency of the law enforcement
mission in the county through the following
ways: improve called-for services response,
improve follow-up investigation, improve
departmental coordination of effort, establish
community relations and awareness program,
establish a program of positive law enforcement
procedures for implementation in other areas.
The substations and the areas they include
are: Firebaugh and Mendota; Coalinga;
Kerman; Caruthers, Laton and Riverdale;
Fowler, Selma and Kingsburg; Reedley,
Parlier, Del Rey and Sanger; and Ponderosa.
The substations are divided by the East and
West side of the county, each headed by a
Uniformed Field Division Lieutenant. His
duties are to implement required programs for
the attainment of objectives and secure

compliance to departmental policy and
procedure. He also establishes liaison with
communities, agencies and the public to attain
community support for programs. Examples of
this type of program are community relations,
citizen cooperation and crime prevention. He
must also administer the police functions of the
area. Through coordinating and com
municating, the Lieutenant directs and sup
ports the attainment of the desired goals. He
also sees that aU statistics and records are
inserted into central retention and control
bureaus.
Making assignments of personnel to
necessary functions is the main duty of the area
supervisor. He must also maintain records of
activity, equipment, personnel, and also
establish procedures for the smooth flow of
information, reports and data between the
various services of the Department. He reviews
reports and assigns necessary follow-up in
vestigations.
The Field Supervisor supervises the activity
of the 4 p.m. -12 midnight watch and coor
dinates the flow of all pertinent information

NOW IT IS BEE RUSTLING
The purpose of this story is to acquaint the
public and law enforcement personnel with the
Bee Rustler.
This new type of theft has entered our San
Joaquin Valley. Bee rustling is on the increase,
and it threatens our crop production, Imagine
the world without bees. If you are a farmer,
going without bees to pollinate certain crops
reduces or stops production of life
sustaining materials. To the consumer, it
means less food at higher prices or not having
necessary materials for life. Without the bees,
you and I would not eat so well.
By now, you are asking yourself who would
steal bees and why. There are two types of
individuals who rustle bees. Both types steal the
entire hive. The only difference is the amateur
steals the hive intact and puts the hive in his
backyard for the honey. The commercial
rustler is a beekeeper, and he steals the entire
hive and transfers the bees into his hive. After
getting the honey, he destroys the branded
parts of the hive. Sometimes it is employees
who steal the hives.
Why are bees stolen? Because of their value.
A two-story colony is worth a considerable sum
of money. With today's price of sugar, the
demand for honey has risen drastically.
Another reason for thefts is hives are left in one
spot anywhere from one day to several months.
This sometimes gives the bee rustler a false
sense of security because he feels the beekeeper
will not miss the hives.
What should the public be aware of? First,
when you observe suspicious activity around
bee hives, call the Fresno County Sheriff's
Department. Many hives are destroyed in the
field by vehicles knocking them over or by
vandals shooting them.
What should the law enforcement personnel
look for to stop the bee rustler? First, bees are
seldom moved during the daytime hours
because the bees are flying away from the hives.
If the bees are moved in the daylight hours, the
bees must be netted, and if the weather is hot,
119
Beehives are stacked near a field where bees are
pollinating.
The number on the side of the hive is the beekeeper's
brand.
the hives are packed in dry ice. Therefore, if a
deputy sees a truckload of bee hives moving on'
the roadways during the day, it would be a good
practice to stop the truck and prepare a field
investigation card. Bee hives are usually
branded and are registered with the
Agricultural Commissioner's Office. The
brands are visible on the outside of the hives.
The last brand on the hive should be the last
owner.
However, some hives are not branded and
these should be carefully observed and field
investigation cards filled out and turned in to
the Department. Just because they are not
branded does not mean they are stolen. Some
small hobbyists' bee hives are unbranded. But
all bees must be registered in November in the
county they are in at the time.
Let's help keep bee thefts down by public
and law enforcement agencies doing their part.
Without bees, you and I would not live so well.

SECURITY AND CORRECTIONS DIVISION
Jail ComDland Staff Enlarged

by Gene Hallam
1974 brought a major change in the com
mand structure of the jail. Previously, the only
person of supervisory rank on duty at night
and on weekends was the watch commander,
who was a sergeant. The extensive remodelling
of the past few years, while providing a better
environment for the inmates and making
possible more efficiency in operation, also
made the operation of the jail more complex.

inmate movement control on the second floor,
and housing and various other activities on all
floors, it was impossible for one person to
provide adequate supervision.
Arrangements had already been made to
create six positions of Senior Correctional
Officer, to be first-line supervisors and assist
the watch commander. As of January, however,
the positions had not yet been filled, for the job
qualifications established by the Personnel
Department required eighteen months' ex·
perience as a correctional officer, and the
position was so new we didn't have enough
people with sufficient experience to make the
examination truly competitive.
Late in 1973 a few incidents occurred which
seemed to indicate the need for a higher
ranking officer to serve as watch commander.

Hogue, who assumed command of the
morning watch, and Pierce, who took over the
evening watch, both had recent experience as
jail sergeants. Hansen, who became relief
watch commander, was in about the same
situation I had been in when I assumed
command of the division in 1971, having been
away from the jail for several years, and quite
unfamiliar with all the changes that had oc
curred in correctional procedure and

commanders, the assignment of lieutenants
also created a more stable situation. For years
we'd had the same problem with sergeants as
we had with deputy sheriffs assigned to the jail.
Newly appointed sergeants began their
supervisory careers in the jail. They knew their
assignments would be temporary, lasting only
until they acquired sufficient seniority for
advancement, as it was then considered, to a
more desirable assignment in another division,
through normal turnover. Therefore, no matter
how capable the sergeant was, it was difficult
for him to develop and maintain a sincere
interest in jail operation and its problems.
When the lieutenants were assigned to the
division, they knew they'd probably be there for
a long time, for there isn't a great deal of
turnover among lieutenants and higher ranks.

They therefore approached the new assignment
as a potentially long-lasting and perhaps
virtually permanent phase of their careers, with
true dedication and interest. All three are doing
an excellent job.
They are also making the division com
mander's job more challenging. Sergeants
serving as watch commanders had a tendency
to accept without question any directive I gave,

whether or not they agreed with me.
Lieutenants, however, aren't afraid to point out
any flaws they see in my policies, and before I
take a position on any problem or question, I
have to analyze the situation very carefully, and
make sure I can defend it. I like it that way. It
keeps me on my toes.
By February an acceptable number of
correctional officers had acquired sufficient
experience to qualify for the promotional
examination. Those subsequently promoted to
Senior Correctional Officer were Donald
Bradford, Donald Broyles, James Baum,
Melvin Howe, Gary Martin, and Ronald
Durham.
When I talked to the candidates in deciding
whom to recommend for promotion, it was the
third time I'd interviewed some of them for
jobs. I'd first talked to Bradford for that
purpose in 1970, when I was a lieutenant in the
Records and Identification Division, and he

Technician. Later he'd placed close to the top

the two previous assignments, coupled with his
many years experience as a Chief Petty Officer
in the Navy, made him well qualified for a
supervisory assignment.
Broyles also had had a successful military
career, having retired from the Air Force after
several years' service as a non-commissioned
officer. He had been a capable jail records clerk
before becoming a correctional officer and, as
an extra bonus in the way of qualification, had
studied law and earned a degree.

I'd selected Baum for appointment to a
position as jail records clerk in 1971, and a few
months later he became a correctional officer.
He lacked experience in supervision, but his
score on the examination indicated he had the
necessary knowledge of the principles of
directing other people. He had a great deal of
formal education in corrections, and as a very
capable clerk, had developed a thorough
knowledge and understanding of jail record

keeping and general operating procedures.
Howe also brought to his new assignment
many years of military experience in super
vision, having retired from the Navy as a Chief
Petty Officer shortly before JOInIng the
department in 1972. He had shown strong
leadership potential since his first day on the
job as a correctional officer.
Martin had also been a jail records clerk
before becoming a correctional officer, and his
tenure dated from the days before remodelling
and reorganization. At that time all jail ad
ministrative duties were concentrated in one
area, and the clerk was in a position to learn
practically every detail of the operation. In fact,
because he actually may have been more
familiar with the overall operation than the
officers, because of more frequent officer
turnover, there was a saying then, "The clerks
run the jail." Martin therefore had a sound
background in jail operation to make him well
qualified as a supervisor.
Durham was also somewhat lacking in ex
perience as a supervisor. However, he had
proven to be a very versatile correctional of
ficer, having worked in several different
assignments and performing very well in each.
He had exhibited a high degree of initiative,
and just the right degree of aggressiveness, to
indicate a genuine leadership potential.
As I told the six new supervisors when I
presented their collar brass to them, I couldn't
have come up with an eligibility list of better
qualified officers if I'd composed it myself.
The upgrading and increase in members of
command and supervisory personnel in the jail
has been justified. Since the changes were
made, there has been a substantial decrease in
inmate unrest, operational errors, and citizen
complaints. While the very nature of the

Sheriff's Explorers Keep Busy This Year
by Explorer Captain Mike Lum
During this past year the Sheriff's Explorers
Post has been very active. Just a few of our
activities this year were the United Cerebral
Palsy and Muscular Dystrophy Telethons,
Scout-O-Rama, City-County football game,
Elks Charity Motorcross Race, Kearney
Mansion, Fashion Fair and the Fresno District
Fair. Some of these activities were made
possible by our new advisor, Sergeant Gerald
Lawless, who is also the Sheriff's Department's
Reserve coordinator. When the Reserves are
needed for duty, Sergeant Lawless is called. He
in turn calls on a few of us to assist him and his
Reserves.
Working at Fresno Fashion Fair is a yearly
project. Our purpose out there is to assist the
security guards, gain experience in public
. relations and in general crimes such as
shoplifting, bike thefts, car thefts and purse
snatchings. This project was made possible by
the Fashion Fair management, and the owner

One of our big activities coming up soon is
working with the Auto Theft Detail, under the
direction of Sergeant Dave Murray, passing out
information on why you should lock your car
and take your keys from the ignition. We will
also be engraving identification numbers on car
rims.
Another activity coming up is taking the
students from the Kelso School to the rodeo at
the Convention Center.

to thank Fresno Merchants Patrol Owner Chief
Edgar Grove, Fashion Fair management,

The Kingsburg Police Department serves a
population of 4500 persons. Under the ad
ministration of Chief of Police John Swenning,
who accepted his position in 1972, after serving
eight years with the Fresno County Sheriff's
Department, the department has experienced
many changes.
Many people today believe the small town
police officer and department has impeded the
growth of professionalism in law enforcement.
Throughout Fresno County this image is
changing, as the smaller departments are
providing more efficient services to their
communities.
We in Kingsburg believe that all too often,
the "small town" officer is not given the credit
he deserves. A "generalist policeman," he must
attend the same academies, receive basically
the same training, possess the same technical

information, and be prepared to deal with the
same types of problems as any other officer.
The most significant difference lies in the
workload and, unfortunately, the pay.
The Kingsburg officer makes his own in
vestigations of crimes; he dusts for prints, takes
photographs, searches, interrogates and,
hopefully, apprehends the suspect. The officer
who conducts the initial investigation is usually
required to conduct his own follow-up in
vestigation, with direction provided as needed.
The Kingsburg officer, as a result, gains a wide
spectrum of experience. Recently, an armed
robbery case was followed up by a younger
patrolman who was able to solve the case. The
experience he gained added to his value as an
officer.
Because all these things are required of the
officers, training is vital. The training
programs, offered both in and outside the
department, are continuous. The department
adheres to POST standards, and there is always
at least one officer attending some type of
training institute. More officers are attending
college than ever before. Three are working
towards their A.A. Degree, two already have
this degree, and are working for the Bachelor's
Degree.

The most significant change the department
has experienced is the new ' headquarters
building, which was made operational in
December, 1973. The carpeted floors and
paneled walls in the office and operations areas
gives the department more of an "office" look
than a typical police building. The building
contains a records room, evidence and property
room, and a booking and interrogation room.
There is also a detention cell, two offices, and a
large conference room ..
New communications equipment has
recently been ordered as the result of a com
munications grant project which was approved
by the California Council on Criminal Justice.
Included in the grant are such items as "walkie
talkie" radios for all personnel, two new base
stations, monitoring devices, and improved
mobile car communications.
The recently developed Reserve Officer
program has added a new dimension to the
department. This has added to our manpower,
and we have drawn from several groups in the
community some dedicated persons who are
doing a tremendous job. Now on the drawing

board is a Home Security Inspection Program,
planned and conducted solely by the Reserve
Officers, under the direction of Dennis Parker.
One of the first programs developed by Chief
Swenning was the School Resource Officer
program, which is now going into its third year.
Several officers have been participating, rather
than just one, and the response from parents,
teachers and, most importantly, the kids, has
been overwhelming. The department also
sponsors a Little League baseball team, named,
appropriately, the "Cops."
This year Kingsburg hired its first female
officer, Tina Magana, who presently is
assigned to dispatcher and juvenile duties. She
is a sworn officer, and assists in other areas
when needs arise.
For about a year now, the Police Department
has had a weekly column in the local newspaper
entitled "Cop Talk." Each officer in the
department contributes weekly commentary on
a variety of subjects, most of which are in
tended to familiarize our citizens with the
functions of their police department. There are
also articles on crime prevention and safety.
Recently officers, in line with the "change in
image" trend, voted for a uniform change. The
old tan uniforms were discarded in September,
and officers donned new blue uniforms.
The Kingsburg Police Department is striving
to provide its public with modern, concerned,
and professional police service. Public support
has been tremendous, and without it, we would .. not have been able to accomplish what we have .
Because we are proud of our department we
want to continue to improve, and feel that we
will. We also invite you to drop by sometime.

Youth Service Program
Our Police Department has implemented a
youth service program which includes career
guidance counseling and a Law Enforcement
Explorer Post.
The officers of this department have com
mitted themselves by donating their off-duty
time to be available in the Guidance Center at
the Parlier High School. The idea is not to
coach students into what they should or should
not do -the officers are there to rap, to answer
questions which may be very important to
them, no matter how insignificant the question
may seem. Officers participating in this
program have made themselves available in
classroom situations as well as on an in
dividual, confidential basis. Efforts on the part

of the officers have achieved a trustworthy,
working relationship with juveniles of the
Parlier High School District. We are pleased
enough with the results to increase our ac
tivities in this field.
Another aspect of the youth service program
is the Parlier Police Department Law En
forcement Explorer Post. This program is
designed to provide a planned exposure of high
school age students to all phases of law en
forcement. This includes riding in patrol cars
and policing non-hazardous events in the city,
after a six-month probationary period.
Because of the current rise of lawlessness,
law enforcement must develop new recruits who
are trained and unswerving in their devotion to
justice. However, there is currently a very real
"generation gap" between police and young
people and, by exposing young people to
professional police officers, we feel we can
narrow this gap. We want to help train young
men and women as responsible citizens who
can take care 01 themselves, who are good
neighbors, and who take an active interest in
their community and their nation.
The programs administered by the Parlier
Police Post include an Emergency Telephone
index, bicycle registration and safety, and
burglary prevention.
As officers of this department, we are proud
of the efforts of the Explorer Post members and
again pledge our assistance, realizing our
efforts now will reap dividends later which will
be incalculable.
