YOUNG ASSISTANT SHERIFF -SERVICES February 18, 1976 Dear Fr iends: We are proud to present this, the 1976 issue of the Sheriff's Review, for your information and enjoyment. The publication con tains articles of varied interest for the purpose of informing the public of our activities in serving the community. The progress we have made and plans for future improvements are noted. The rising crime rate and increased sophistication of those who commit criminal offenses requires new and innovative approaches by local law enforcement. With the cooperation and support of an interested public and the efforts of a dedicated staff, we will meet the chal~enges. Increased training and a flexible assignment policy are among a newly developed management philosophy. A constant study and evaluation of existing procedures provides the means for the de partment to maintain pace with a changing society and its problems. Our goal is to secure the participation and assistance of those we serve by a candid and honest administration of this agency of the County Criminal Justice System. Thank you. Sincerely J Association president 7 The Sheriff's Review is published each year to better inform the citizens of Fresno County on the operation of your Sheriff's Department. Through the cooperation of the many ad vertisers this is made possible. We hope you will in turn give them your support. Many changes took place within the department during 1975. Most of them were division commander changes. The goal of the Sheriff's Department is to reduce the crime rate. During the first six months of 1976 a definite reduction had been obtained, especially in burglaries. The Sheriff's Department has noted an increase in citizens' giving information, which not only has helped prevent crime but has aided in the arrest of the responsible person. Only by law enforcement and citizens working together can this goal of crime reduction be reached. Sheriff McKinney implemented a plan in January 1976 which reduced the burglary crime rate very effectively. This plan included a patrol team of five officers in marked cars which concentrated on specific areas where burglaries were a major problem. 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 express our thanks publicly for their support and ideas, in producing this our 1976 edition of the Fresno County Sheriff's Review.

MARKS AVE. FRESNO ANYWAY I YOU WANT IT MOVED 10 THE OFFICER~S JOB Public ,Service or Public Protection? by Gene Hallam The cover of this issue shows two patrol officers alighting from their vehicle to in vestigate a citizen complaint or suspicious set of circumstances. The type of call is not indicated; presumably, it is a situation where police action is in order. However, as this article will point out, that is not always the case. The present day California police officer may well be the best trained and equipped officer in history. The differences in those categories between him and his predecessor of a quarter of a centruy ago are almost incredible. Today's officer most likely has some college training, and perhaps a degree in police science. His predecessor may not even have finished high school. The officer today has at his disposal the very latest in weaponry, scientific criminal investigation equipment, and electronic in formation storage and retrieval systems. His predecessor had a revolver, a baton, com paratively primitive identification techniques and equipment, and information kept in file cabinets, which had to be filed and retrieved manually. In spite of all the apparent advantages with which today's officer is blessed, the crime rate in most areas continues to climb; not just steadily to match population growth, but at a rate with little correlation to the population increase. Various theories have been ex pounded to explain the phenomenal increase in criminal activity. Among those most frequently mentioned are court decisions which sometimes seem to be concerned with technical rights of defendants than with protection of the public; too lenient sentences of convicted offenders and a resulting lack of deterrent effect; inability of the undereducated, the underprivileged, the minority citizen, and the emotionally unstable to cope psychologically with the rapid technological developments of our modern society; the Viet Nam war; Watergate; poverty; women's lib; and a general attitude of per missiveness accompanying the breakdown of our mora] standards. Possibly each of the foregoing has contributed to some degree. The ...a couple of generations ago if Citizen Jones was annoyed by Neighbor Smith's barking dog or loud radio, he'd likely contact Smith ... and so inform him. problem is too complex for a single most significant cause to be isolated and identified. One thing that has seldom been mentioned, however, or has not been subject to widespread public discussion, may also be a significant factor. That is the attitude of the general public toward the overall police function, and the standard of service a police agency is expected to provide to the community it serves. It may be that the officer spends so much of his time responding to service type calls which are entirely unrelated to the crime rate that he has little time left for effective patrol action or proper preliminary investigation of actual crimes, either of which can have a significant effect on the crime rate. By that wei mean that too often an officer is called upon to perform a service which could and should be handled by the citizen requesting 11 RZ Custom Cabinet Doors 1681 South Brawley and Cabinets Fresno, Calif. 93706 Ph . 486-7498 Dave -Mitch the service. or by another public service agency specializing in that particular type of problem. For example. a couple of generations ago if Citizen Jones was annoyed by Neighbor Smith's barking dog or loud radio. he'd likely contact Smith in a friendly manner. and so inform him. Chances are Smith would apologize. agree to keep the dog quiet or turn down the radio. the problem would be solved amicably. and the police would never hear about it. Only if Smith couldn't be contacted and the barking per sisted. indicating something was wrong at the Smith residence. or if Smith became stubborn, a quarrel developed. and violence seemed imminent. were the police ever called. ... while he's trying to arbitrate a minor quarreL .. he may miss seeing burglars breaking into a house in the next block ...

Maple Ave., Fresno Now Jones will call the police to make the initial contact with Smith. Having a patrol car parked in front of his house, and a uniformed officer knocking on his door in full view of curious neighbors. annoys and embarrasses Smith, so he eagerly waits for a chance to retaliate. The next time the Jones youngsters run through Smith's flower garden, or inad vertently throw a ball into his yard, he calls the police and complains that Jones is bringing up a pack of juvenile delinquents that are a menace to the neighborhood. So it goes, back and forth. a bitter feud developing between two decent families who probably would have been friends if they'd never called in the police to settle their minor differences. Farfetched? Not at all. It's a typical example of the manner in which the modern, coUege trained. scientifically equipped police officer spends a great deal of his time. And while he's trying to arbitrate a minor quarrel and restore peace between the Jones and Smith families, he may miss seeing the burglars breaking into Brown's house in the next block, or the purse snatcher who has just knocked down the elderly Mrs. Johnson on the sidewalk around the corner.

Among them are arbitration of disputes over child visitation, property, and living arrangements in divorce cases, all of which are primarily civil in nature; therefore an officer can't take action without a specific court order. When a wife is leaving her husband, she may expect an officer to come to the premises and stand by to protect her from bodily harm, the danger of which is usually imagined, while she removes her personal effects. After the divorce, she may call an officer to evict the former husband if he overstays by a few minutes a court sanctioned visit to the children; he may call if he arrives for such a visit and she refuses him admittance; and either may call to complain about the other living with someone else. In neither of these situations is there any criminal activity per se, and there is nothing a patrol officer can do except offer advice, which should be the province and responsibility of the attorneys representing the two parties. ... the public (has been) led to expect a much higher level of service from its police agencies than it is either able or willing to pay for. An occasional call such as those described in the preceding paragraphs might not unduly in terfere with an officer's more important duties. However, in recent years such calls have been more than occasional. In a recent typical week, patrol officers of the Fresno County Sheriff's Department spent sixteen man hours handling calls generally referred to as "dog disturbances," meaning such things as a dog defecating on a neighbor's lawn, scratching up a flower garden, growling at passersby, or annoying someone by barking. The time spent is the equivalent of one officer working two full days, or forty per cent of his work week, handling one particular type of incident which I •should never have been brought to the attentIon of the Department. This example doesn't take into account all the other strictly service type COMPLIMENTS BUCK RANCHES fRESNO 13 He is expected also to be a legal adviser, father confessor, marriage counselor, child guidance expert, and neigh borhood information repository . calls that were handled by the Department that week. Police agencies must shoulder most of the blame for this unfortunate situation. About the time professionalization for law enforcement began to be emphasized 2S years ago, an equal emphasis was placed on the concept of public service. No distinction was made between public service and police service, or public protection. As a result, in the following years, the public was led to expect a much higher level of service from its police agencies than it is either able or willing to pay for. The motto was, "Every citizen complaint deserves the personal attention of an officer. No matter how trivial I. ,· (t"I""'O'(; \ \or\ & TOI")I ~ P I1 / mb(> F\ S noke) P..

Another phrase frequently heard in those days, with its philosophy still generally in effect, was, "We have nothing to sell but service," implying that the only way we could convince the public we were doing our job was to cater to its every whim. As a result of that public indoctrination, virtually nothing can now be handled by telephone. Even if the desk officer receiving the call knows without a doubt a problem doesn't exist, or, if it does, it is out of law enforcement jurisdiction, he doesn't dare tell the com plaining citizen so. A field officer must be dispatched to the citizen's home or business, to explain to him in person that nothing can be done, or to refer him to an agency which can handle his problem. Field officers are also dispatced to take reports of incidents of a non-emergency nature where the only action to be taken consists of recording a few facts; a task which could be handled in a few minutes by telephone, but which, counting driving time from another portion of the beat, may take the field officer Come to where the friendly people are. r~~ /&'~ f;:'~ ,.; ~].1~TI[~Y1J" ~~..... ~~~u/" ~)~ W ."

Citizens have been publicly encouraged to call for police assistance at the slightest excuse. A point repeatedly em phasized is that the field police officer does much more than investigate reports of criminal activity and apprehend violators. He is ex pected also to be a legal adviser, father con fessor, marriage counselor, child guidance expert, and neighborhood information repository. Naturally, the officer must have some skill and experience in these fields in order to handle many of his valid calls properly. But he shouldn't be expected to completely replace the professionals who specialize in these and other non-police categories. However, police officials have been known to publicly proclaim with pride that no matter what type of problem a citizen has, he is likely, presumably with their sanction and justification, to contact the police first for advice and assistance. As an extreme example of the misuse of police manpower, the long standing and sound practice of the beat officer checking residences of citizens away on vacation has been over emphasized in some areas, although not to any significant degree locally. The theory of such checks is, of course, that by his occasional presence at the premises he will discourage would-be thieves and burglars. We've heard of The television detective .. .is never seen working on such hopeless cases as thefts of garden hoses from front lawns, or bicycles from open garages. a few instances in other jurisdictions where the officers have found that to the citizen the house check means picking up mail and newspapers, turning on sprinklers, and other such menial tasks that for a nominal fee could have been entrusted to a neighbor boy. Because of the sales job law enforcement has done in convincing the public it is the answer to all problems, many citizens have abdicated to the police practically all responsibility for protecting their property. It is not uncommon for a valuable item to be left unattended, easily 15 ...the public has been led to expect an ever increasing level of service, and therefore has continued to call for more and more assistance ... accessible to thieves. then the police blamed when it is stolen. Another myth concocted by law enforcement in those less complex days, and , at least by implication, still being sold to the public, is that all crimes are thoroughly investigated. No one dares tell a citizen who is the victim of a crime that there is simply no evidence or in formation on which to base an investigation, or that chances of identifying and apprehending the person responsible are practically nil. He is led. or at least allowed , to believe that his case, no matter how hopeless from an investigative standpoint, will be assigned to a detective who will work on nothing else until such time as the case is either solved or definitely determined to be insoluble. Television and the movies are partially responsible for this misconception. The screen detective invariably solves his case in time for the final commercial or the popcorn break. But he is never seen working on such hopeless cases as thefts of garden hoses from front lawns, or bicycles from open garages. In addition, he has writers who provide him with the evidence necessary to identify, locate , apprehend, and convict the person responsible. The real detective's clues are usually supplied by the suspect's carelessness, a most unreliable source. Each time citizens have complained about the rising crime rate and slow response to calls, the problem has been compounded by the entire situation being blamed on a shortage of manpower. If sufficient pressure were then put on the elective governing body to provide funds for additional manpower, more officers were made available to further the concept of unlimited service, regardless of its relationship to criminal activity. In this manner the public has been led to expect an ever increasing level of service, and therefore has continued to call for more and more assistance outside the field of real law enforcement.

They reason that while much more man power is certainly needed to throw into the battle against crime, unless it is utilized in the front lines, instead of rear echelon areas of services not related to crime, it is wasted, and will simply generate a greater demand for more officers to handle service type calls. No com munity, no matter how high its tax base, can afford to go on paying for such a high and ever increasing level of service, and still expect its police agency to make any significant effort to control or reduce crime. Unfortunately, realizing and understanding the problem, and being able to take effective steps toward a solution, are not synonymous. It is also realized and understood that because the public has become so thoroughly accustomed to such a high level of service, taking it away now will create more resentment than if it had never been provided in the first place.

The ultimate goal is simple; to reduce service type calls to a bare minimum, to assure that the beat officer spends as much of his time as possible in activities for which he has been trained and equipped, and which have some direct relation to criminal activity. But how does a police agency convince a public ac customed to frequently and automatically calling for police assistance, no matter how trivial or of what nature the problem, that such a reduction in service is not 'only to its ad vantage taxwise, but will also give it better protection against the criminal element? Any plan to effect that goal must be well thought out and carefully executed.

The news media can be of tremendous help, of course. by objectively publicizing any planned changes. pointing out the reasons they are necessary and accurately documenting the ultimate advantages. But the final selling job must be done by the officers receiving and responding to citizens' calls for service. As a beginning, desk officers can be trained and encouraged to handle certain calls by telephone. with a tactful explanation to the complainant of the reason for the new procedure. For instance, if a citizen calls in to complain of a matter about which an officer sent ot his home could only listen and offer advice, in most instances there is no reason why the listening can't be done and the advice dispensed by telephone. If action on the citizen's problem is in order, but is beyond the scope of authority or responsibility of the department, the officer receiving the call by telephone can refer him to the p roper agency just as easily and much more quickly than can a field officer. In both instances the citizen is getting quicker service than if he had to wait for a field officer to contact him in person. Citizens calling to request assistance on minor neighborhood quarrels, or on domestic and divorce matters, not amounting to or likely to result in criminal activity, should be en couraged to first try to settle the matter without police intervention. Those calling to report non emergency incidents for which only a brief report will be written, and for which inspection of the scene is not necessary, should be asked to furnish pertinent information by telephone, or to stop by the department to make a counter report at their convenience. Some thought should be given to a simple report form the citizen can complete himself and mail to the department, for minor thefts in which an in vestigation would be a waste of time, and it is reported simply to satisfy the requirements of the victim's insurance carrier. Victims of crimes for which a foHow-up investigation would obviously be useless, as established by the preliminary investigation, should not be led to believe a full scale in vestigation wiU be attempted. Instead, the officer should frankly explain to the victim why an extensive investigation wouldn't be feasible, and tell him whom to contact in the department if any further pertinent information pertaining to the incident comes to his attention. If the idea of being satisfied with a lesser level of police service can be made acceptable to the general public, it may not result in a reduction to taxes or a need for fewer officers. But it may slow the rate of tax increases, and can reasonably be expected to have a similar effect on the crime rate, by assuring that police officers spend most of their time at tasks commensurate with their training and purpose. Hopefully, the public will agree that it is false economy of the highest degree to spend a fortune training, equipping and paying an officer to do a professional job of combatting crime, then require him to spend a great deal of his time at tasks which are, in effect, running errands, carrying messages, and offering non crime related advice and counseling; none of which have any real bearing on the crime rate, or provide any protection from the criminal.

McKinney has accomplished what 20 other Fresno County Sheriffs have not-he has risen from deputy to Sheriff. His career with the Sheriff's Department began 26 years ago, when the 26-year-old McKinney was casting about for a way to earn a living after the war, as were thousands of other veterans. "I was working at a Fresno pump company," he said, "and a friend and I decided to go in to business for ourselves, so we did. We went broke." The hapless venture was selling automobiles. By early spring of 1950 he found himself out of work and began to give some thought to going into civil service. "I considered being a fireman like my father," he told a reporter last year, "but when I found out I had to make a safety net jump off a high tower I gave up the idea." McKinney's father, the late C. E. McKinney, served in the Fresno City Fire Department, achieving the rank of Captain, a rank his son would someday achieve in the sheriff's department. Sitting sidesaddle in his reclining chair, looking more like 26 years old than 52, McKinney blew a puff of smoke from one of his ever handy pipes. "I needed work, and I found out there was an opening at the sheriff's department." He shifted in his chair as though Undersheriff Harold McKinney was sworn in as Sheriff of Fresno County by County Clerk Hal Masini on July 8, 1975. he were slightly embarrassed to make the next comment. "I didn't want to be a career cop," he admitted, "but it's a job that grows on you. That's how I got started; I just needed a job. " McKinney doesn't talk much about the early days. Unlike younger officers in the Sheriff's department, his passion for talk lies not with "war" stories but with what he'd like to see for the future. He does have war stories and one he tells occasionally is about the early days. His Saluting The Men and Women of the Fresno County Sheriff's Office PRODUCERS COTTON Oil CO. and THE CALFLAX RANCH 19 uniforms were new and the leather on his gun belt was still stiff. "I had been assigned as a bailiff in Judge George Wolfe's court. We were getting close to the noon hour and the judge ran out of jurors." A smile began to creep over his face as he continued, "The judge told me to go out and get some people to serve on the jury." According to McKinney the noon hour found him at the corner of Mariposa and Fulton streets grabbing anyone that passed to serve on the jury. He admits he had to refer to the penal code before he went out in the street. "I guess that was one of the first times that I began to make some enemies," he added. McKinney's career of some four months was cut short when the Army recalled him for service during the Korean war. His assignment was a little easier this time or at least safer. Instead of having an eye glued to a Norden bomb sight at 10 thousand feet he returned to Uncle Sam as an M.P. He was attached to Fifth Army Headquarters in Minneapolis, Minn. as a criminal investigator. Following the war he came back to the sheriff's department.

But two photos are stuck in a scrap book kept by his wife Lynda. One shows a younger looking McKinney standing in the old coffee shop with a disheveled shirt and uniform soft cap ap parently being harassed by now Assistant Sheriff WiUiam Young. The other is an I.D. card. A grim face looks back at the viewer with an appropriate set of fake prisoner numbers and the designation, "Fresno County Jail Trustee -Detail -Car Wash -Release Date June 1966." In 1964 McKinney was among 94 lawmen in the country to attend a special 12-week course conducted by the F.B.1. On his way to the post of undersheriff McKinney also served as chairman of the Board of Directors of the Fresno County March of Dimes. The next-to-Iast step before his occupancy of the Sheriff's office came in May of 1972 when Sheriff Melvin A. Wilmirth tapped him for undersheriff. He took over the post June 1,1972 when James D.

HARV~ AVE. 20 Telling the story in his living room, dressed in a T-shirt, sitting sidesaddle in his recliner, the barefooted McKinney gave the first hint that he wasn't really expecting to become sheriff on Thursday, July 3, 1975. "The job of undersheriff is good preparation for this job," he said, and quickly added, "it doesn't corne close to teaching you all you need to know to deal with the people and situations you face directly when you' re sheriff. " McKinney is capable of classic understatement and this comment on the sheriff's job is typical. He carne out of one of Fresno County's darkest political campaigns to lead a sheriff's depart ment clouded by the furor created by the candidates and simmering with employee discontent over wages and a variety of other issues. A bitter campaign between incumbent Sheriff Melvin Wilmirth and Guy Langley saw Langley the apparent winner by a slim margin. Charges of county campaign law violations and Langley's eventual resignation left the position vacant and Undersheriff Harold McKinney became Acting Sheriff McKinney. Fresno Sheriff McKinney's wife Linda was present for -the swearing-in ceremony. County supervisors later appointed McKinney Sheriff following an executive session of less than an hour.

The look was a cross between confidence and expectation. McKinney visibly relaxed when then supervisor chairman Ar mando Rodriguez told him he had been selected by unanimous action of the board to be the permanent sheriff of Fresno County. McKinney's selection for the post settled things considerably in the department. That's not to say he was welcomed with open arms. Perhaps no one would have been. But stability finally came to the second floor of the county law enforcement building and for that at least, department members breathed a sigh of relief. McKinney's philosophy became apparent within a matter of weeks. In an attempt to soothe the troubled waters of public opinion McKinney went to work. "I believe in being candid. In a public agency the public is entitled to know our needs, successes and our failures," he said. And that's the way McKinney began running things. He made himself available to the media. As the newness of his position began to wear away, the department was thrust into the limelight of the news again with the shuffling and reassignment of a number of department heads. The action was not without its locker room comments and concern. But that too subsided, and then came the big es cape. Ten prisoners made their way to freedom down the wall of the jail after gaining access to the roof. The shock of prisoners making good their escape was apparent at the department for a number of days. McKinney met the problem directly. He told the public what those working in the jail already knew-that the jail, currently undergoing remodeling, was less than secure. Changes were ordered and once again things slowly began to normalize. With a solution to the jail problems in sight, McKinney said he had more time to look to long range goals and implement other changes. "Down the line," said the sheriff, "I'd like to see a formal cadet program for the depart ment." That proposal has yet to be made formally, but others concerning building security and the reserve deputy program are already under way. A revamp of the Sheriff's Department communication and briefing areas has been started. "We've needed that for a long time," he said, "and we're finally getting necessary services located in the building where they're needed the most." The communications section is being moved to a secure area in the basement along with a relocation of watch commander's offices and supply rooms. A Computer Aided Dispatch system will soon be installed, which will bring a solution to the communications problem nearer, but McKinney says he would also like to see an entire new communications system. There is more he would like to do too. "One of the top priorities I hope to see accomplished is getting the needed tools and equipment to do the job of law enforcement properly. We're sadly lacking in vehicle and lab equipment," he said, adding that the bane of his administrative life is money. "The budget is an everyday problem. You never realize just how difficult it is until you're the one that has to do it." On the bright side McKinney said it is the first time he can recall that county government is beginning to see what some of the real needs of law enforcement are. "There was a time when the sheriff's department was last in line for county funds." But he indicated that doesn't mean the department has moved to first in line either. Lack of dollars causes innovation. McKinney gives as an example of this the combination program to get the hype-burglar off the street and the increased use of reserve deputies in the field, a move welcomed by some, damned by others. He has ordered all reserve deputies to . attend a reserve academy, and their efforts in the field, good and bad, are being monitored. "We don't expect them to have all the knowledge that a regular does," said McKinney. "But they're visible in the street and we need that. With effort and training they're a lot of help, expecially if we can make them aware enough to ask for assistance either from the beat officer or a supervisor." McKinney has more than two years left in his post as sheriff. What then? ''I'm not a political type person, " stresses the sheriff. "The problem with the political system is the politicians who abuse it. Some people tell me I won't be elected to the post because I don't play the political gap1e. If that happens, it hap pens," he said matter of factly, and lit his pipe again. 23 SHERIFF-CORONER I ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION LINE OPERATIONS BUREAU I ~ UNIFORMED FiElD DIVISION I-DETECTIVE DIVISION -CIVIL DIVISION POOLS 16 Years Experience ~~ Yif;Lc.

Sierra Vista Ave. Fresno 26 I FROM SHIRE-REEVE TO SHERIFF The Role of Sheriffs During 1100 Years in English and United States Law Enforcement In this year of the Bicentennial of the American Revolution, the office of the sheriff might very well observe its undecimus centennial. It was 1100 years ago-in the latter part of the ninth century-that the Anglo Saxons under King Alfred established the office of shire~reeve. In observance of both an undecimus centennial and our own Bicentennial, it is timely to recognize the work of the former sheriffs of Fresno County and to review the history of the office of shire-reeve or sheriff. Recognizing the need for greater citizen participation, King Alfred established a "tithing system" in each shire (county) in the late 800's (maybe 876?). The population was divided into gIOUps of ten families called "tithings." Ten of these, or 100 families, chose a spokesman and leader called a reeve. The chief judicial and law enforcement officer in each shire was the shire-reeve, which was later shortened to "sheriff." Each able-bodied man over 16 was obliged to stand watch and ward duty in his county. Whenever the hue and cry was sounded by the shire-reeve or one of his lieutenants, an nouncing that a wrongful act had been com mitted in the shire, all men formed the posse comitatus, or power of the county, to seek out the culprit. Members of each tithing shared the Continued on page 29 Compliments of GIUSTI FARMS. I'Ne. fRESNO. CALIfORNIA 27 4.

The status and duties of the English sheriff changed many times in the centuries before the colonists came to America. The office was introduced iIi the United States at a very early date. It is known that it appeared as early as 1634, when counties were established in Virginia. Maryland followed, and in both states the sheriff was delegated the same powers of office that he had had in England. The watch and ward system was also brought across the Atlantic. Since control of the sheriffs rested with counties and states, there was some variation in powers, terms of office, and general status which we will not try to review here. We are indebted to Law Enforcement in Colonial New York (Goebel, Julius and Naughton, 1944) for an insight into the status of sheriffs about 200 years ago. It is significant that much of the discussion of the sheriffs is in the chapter regarding process serving, but many details show that the sheriff's duties also included pursuit, penalties, and the jailing of criminals.

As an example, they tell of the problems of a Sheriff James Livingston of Duchess, who in 1767 sought the advice of Deputy Attorney General Duane, writing: . I have a prisoner in my custody for horse stealing, and have received the enclosed letter from the Justice who committed him. I wish you'd be pleased to direct me how to proceed with the prisoner; whether I should carry him to the next Sheriff or whether I must carry him clear to the place where the felony was committed or not, and whether this letter is sufficient for me to convey him. I take this liberty, as you told me you acted for the Attorney General Stevens, who I told you was killed in apprehending a traitor, is still alive-But a person stabbed my deputy in the breast with a sword after he was arrested and made his escape and now hides and lurks in the county.

Sheriff's problems sometimes resulted from a mixture of ignorance and timorousness, as reflected by amusing correspondence between Attorney General John Kempe and Harmanus Schuyler. sheriff of Albany. On August 13, 1764. the sheriff was requested to serve a capias pro fine (that you take for the fine) on defendant John Henry Lydius. He was also given a capias (order to take for a debt) against Lydius for a $5,000 debt on a forfeited bond. On December 10, Schuyler wrote Kempe asking him how to serve execution on Lydius, since his doors were locked. The Attorney General replied, "If Mr. Lydius or his son cannot be taken ... You must get assistance and go to the house ...and tell the persons in the house the cause of your coming and request ... admittance. If they refuse ...you must break open the doors, which is justifiable to serve a capias pro fine ... " Additional instructions were given the sheriff, but despite the detailed advice, he wrote on January 14, 1765: Enclosed in these two writs an Execution in Sarifacas a John Henry Lidius. My deputy has been to Lidius with two witnesses...Col. Lidius .. .Iooked out of the window ... my deputy began to read the Sarifacas ... he shut the window. I have not been able to get them yet. If you please to renew the execution... I shall get Lidius and his son . In his next letter Kempe threatened the sheriff, saying: Why did you send the Writs by the post so late that. .. the King must have been delayed three weeks, why have you made no return on the Scire Facias ... if you could not have returned Scire Facias you should have returned.

The authors say the two cases are not ex ceptional because "it is clear from judicial records that similar difficulties had plagued authorities throughout the eighteenth cen tury." Attachments and indictments against sheriffs were "so numerous indeed that it seems surprising that returns to process were to continuously mishandled." The type of criminal activities that sheriffs had to combat in colonial times is revealed in a review of cases in New York City Quarter Sessions from 1691 to 1776. Processes involved: 96 cases of assault and battery, 32 cases of disorderly house, nine of assaulting officers, two breaches of the peace, four market of fenses, four nuisance cases, four fraud and deceit cases, two petit larcenies, two receivers of stolen goods, one riot and false im prisonment, one "libelling," one breach of the Sabbath, one breaking of a glass window, one taking and carrying away a fence rail, one against a justice of the peace for falsely im prisoning a litigant and three for breaking and entering houses.

This was sometimes coupled with the practice of publicly displaying the prisoner by placing him in a cart and drawing it about town. This was similar to being subjected to the stock and pillory. Such a penalty was described in the judgment in a case which grew out of a riot in 1695. A Negro slave, Prince, was convicted of striking a mayor during the riot. The Court found: • ... We do order that the said Negro man slave...Prince be by the public whipper forthwith carried to the public whipping post. .. and there to be stripped ...from the middle upwards and then there to be tied to the tale of a cart and being so stripped and tied, shall be drawn around this city ... and at the comer of every street shall receive ' eleven ·lashes upon his body for the said misdemeanor. As there were stupid sheriffs, constables and marshals, so also were there greedy and dishonest ones. Discussing some such cases in New York, the authors wrote: "Thus, for example, the presentment of John Asycough, sheriff of New York, for illegally discharging one Barnabas Morgan who had been ordered YOWl G 24 HOUR TOWING REPAIR ANYWHERE PAI:TING EMERGENCY FREE REPAIRS ESTIMATES ~))r5t IHrllllOll t jLlobp ~1}op 141O·W.

The charges against the two marshalls were quoted_: ...

Be~kman ~oreman. On April 28, 1770 "judgment (for extortion) for want of a plea was rendered against these two defendants." There were many other cases cited, but most were very involved with legal technicalities, resulting in a maximum of verbiage and a minimum of interest. There is little doubt but that these are typical cases of 200 years ago, and that they therefore reflect the status of law enforcement then. The name Sheriff is the same. Some of the ~ duties are the same or similar, but beyond that there seems little basis for comparison of a modern sheriff's department and one of 200 years ago-or 1100 years ago. Through the years there has been quite a change in the image of the sheriff. For nearly a hundred years the popular image was the frontier sheriff-working, fighting and sometimes dying to establish a harmonious society on our expanding frontier. While this was true part of the time, he also continued the work of his predecessors in England and the East Coast and maintained stability in day-to day relations-the less glamorous minor problems that require attention before they become major crises. Today sheriff's departments continue to vary in a late 20th century society. The Sheriff's Review concerns itself with the local organization only. We hope you find it adequate and improving at a speed necessary to meet the needs of the county. Our heritage in law enforcement is a varied one which we recognize without glorifying in this Bicen tennial Year.

It works closely with the District Attorney's office and provides information and services to the victims of crime against person. When a crime report is received by the unit, a case worker immediately contacts the in vestigating officer, then makes a personal call on the victim, where an effort is made to fully evaluate the emotional impact the crime has made on the victim. The family also receives consideration and both family and victim are advised of tl?-e services which are available to them.

One big change took place in October when uniformed female deputies were assigned to regular patrol duties in the Uniformed Field Division. As with all new patrol personnel, the female deputies were assigned to an experienced training officer. Routine patrol skills and the importance of camaraderie were taught during the training period. The female depu ties were expected to perform in the same manner as any trainee. At times the female deputies felt the training officers were being overly protective, and at other times very hard taskmasters. Aware that each training officer takes pride in "FRESNO'S OUTSTANDING MOTEL" 24 hr. Coffee Shop CYPRESS LOUNGE 4141 N.

The female deputies greatly appreciate the special efforts their training officers made to help and advise them in the field, and also the patience they exercised during a difficult time, at times offering words of encouragement and at other times reminding them that nothing could be accomplished by "crying in your beer." During the training period many doubts passed through the trainee's mind: "Will I ever learn all of this?" "Can I handle a problem like this when I'm on my own?"

As days, weeks and months passed, the confidence which the training officer had talked about slowly came. One thing that helped was talking to fellow officers and learning that at one point they had had the same doubts and still had doubts at one time or another. Not only was the training period a serious time, but it was also full of humor-like the first time the female trainees took the wheel of the patrol car and the training officers' legs were too long for them to'ride as partners; or the training officer's not having confidence in the female's driving skills and being very ob vious about it, either verbally or by the white knuckles on both hands gripped around the shotgun barrel. Finally assigned to beats of their own, an awareness of being all alone was intensified for these new officers, but they soon learned that radio communications keep them in touch at all time. Each officer in U.F.D. automatically feels an obligation to back up the other when at all possible or necessary. The female deputy in U.F.D. is expected to perform in the field in the same manner as her male counterpart and has been trained to do so in any situation. Performance is not affected by one's sex during a difficult assignment because it seems that all one is aware of is arriving at a solution to the problem at hand. The female deputy has experienced a look of ~ disapproval or disappointment upon her arrival when she has been dispatched to fill with a detective or patrolman. Then afterwards she has felt great when he took the time to tell her she did a good job, or that he hadn't expected her to perform as she had.

On calls, comments are usually made that it is unusual , but about time to see a woman in the field. On some disturbance calls a male suspect will give a patrolman a bad time, but will become quieter when the female deputy arrives. Some male suspects, on being arrested and transported to jail, will shake their heads and say, "This is the first time I've ever been arrested by a female ." Usually the reaction from a female suspect is the opposite, and a female victim is almost always relieved to see the female deputy. Verbal abuse is common in the field, but respect is finally shown when the suspect 47 realizes that he can expect the same treatment from a female deputy that he expects from a male. Female deputies feel they are not as aggressive as their male counterparts, but that they may be more observant in some cases. Report writing seems more acceptable to them, and some male officers feel the females are overly conscientious. The female officers in U.F.D. feel it takes a certain type of woman to have a successful career in U .F.D., but that most important are good training and a willingness and ability to work as a part of the whole unit. There are many advantages to having women in U.F.D. and as time passes they will be utilized more advantageously. The experience that comes from working in U.F.D. is excellent as background for any investigative or other technical field offered in law enforcement. The females in U.F.D. are sure that the change that took place in October was a positive change and that our department will benefit by it.

In December 1973 the Fresno County Sheriff's Department started an Auto Theft Detail which consists of five detectives. The county detectives work closely with the Fresno Police Department and the California Highway Patrol to curb auto thefts in Fresno County. They need your help! Will your car be stolen in 1976? Part of the answer will depend upon you, despite the oft quoted statement of a nationally recognized auto theft authority that you can do nothing to make your car absolutely theft-proof, if a professional wants it. Still just the simple act of locking your car and taking the key will usually Portions of this article are reprinted from the Highway Patrolman.

With their well organized auto-theft rihgs operating across state lines, they form the hard core of the lucrative racket that is robbing car owners and insurance companies of more than a billion and a half dollars a year. Some of the tricks of these cross-country operations were recently exposed in Los Angeles when Arlie Bud Chambers, an Oklahoma "cowboy evangelist," and a coworker, Michael ("Irish Mike") Thomas, an ex-professional fighter turned preacher, were brought to. trial in Federal Court on charges of running "hot cars" JOE DlSHIAN SHELL SERVICE and AUTO CARE 4206 N.

Thomas pleaded guilty to the conspiracy, and a Federal jury found Chambers guilty of nine counts of conspiracy and of transporting stolen cars across state lines. Chambers, who was defended by Gene Stipe, an Oklahoma State Senator, could be sen tenced to a maximum of 45 years in prison and fined $50,000. Chambers' ministerial cloak had helped to provide him and his fellow worker with a degree of protection. . Investigation of another cross-country operation disclosed recently that a $17,000 luxury car stolen in Texas was re-registered with fake ownership papers in Alabama, then driven to San Diego where it was sold by a newspaper ad. Yet there are some encouraging aspects to the picture. In February, the Florida Highway Patrol working with the FBI smashed one of the largest auto-theft rings in recent years with the arrest of thirty persons in four states and the recovery of 49 stolen vehicles and two airplanes. 15 of the arrests were made in Polk County, Florida, but the operational range of the nng covered an extensive area, crossing state lines. The roundup climaxed a year-long in vestigation. Value of the recovered vehicles and airplanes was estimated in excess of a million dollars. There is also encouraging news throughout California, where diHgent vigilance and detective work on the part of the California Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies have substantially reduced the number of auto theft cases during the past fiscal year. According to an official report by CHP Commissioner Glen Craig, the number of auto thefts for the fiscal year 1974-1975 dropped to 130,196 from 136,583 reported in fiscal 1973 74. This, he points out, means a saving of approximately $9.5 million to California car owners and insurance companies, counting recoveries also. Adding to the good news is the increased recovery rate being reported. During the 1974 75 period, 1,548 more stolen car.s were recovered than, in the previous fiscal year. The recovery ratio rose from 81.9 to 87.1 per cent during the past year. Commissioner Craig said that an attempt 69 Open Every Day 11 :30 a.m. ta 1:30 a.m.would be made to increase the recovery per centage to 90 during the 1975-76 fiscal year. But. of course. success in reducing the auto theft toll is going to depend to a considerable extent upon the caution shown by individual car owners. A car left unlocked with the key inside can be an invitation to a thief, and this can mean something far worse than just an auto theft. It can mean a fatal smashup. for the chances of a stolen car being involved in an accident are 150 times that of an owner-driven car. according to insurance statistics. This is one facet of the stolen car problem that needs particular attention.

H Street 442-9873 Last September a young Los Angeles police officer was critically injured and paralyzed from the waist down when he was struck by a speeding, stolen car occupied by two juveniles. Officer Vincent Leusch, a 5-year police veteran, was attempting to stop the stolen car when struck at an Inglewood intersection. He suffered a broken neck and back and lost a leg. The two youths, 15 and 16 years old, were captured after a high-speed, 12-mile chase during which pursuing police shot out the tires and windows of the stolen car. Part of the pursuit was through Friday night rush-hour traffic, and the car narrowly missed crashing with other automobiles. The two juveniles who caused all of this danger and maimed a law enforcement officer for life, were charged with assault with a deadly weapon on a police of ficer. Every day lawmen put their lives on the line and risk death or injury in stopping car thieves. One night last December CHP Officer Alfred Turner stopped a car about ten miles south of Los Banos to warn the driver about a defective headlight. But the car happened to be a stolen 70 FRUEHAUF CORP. LIQUID & BULK TANK DIVISION 2949 E. Florence Ave. 268-9445 Fresno one. And just as Turner stepped from his patrol car he was shot by the auto thief, later iden tified as Harrill Hill, 23, of San Francisco. Although hit three times by his assailant's bullets, twice in the shoulder and once in the abdomen, as Hill ran toward him Officer Turner returned the fire. Four of his shots struck Hill. Hill was seriously wounded, while Turner sustained fatal injuries. Concerned about these death and personal injury cases as well as the property loss involved in auto stealing, all of the major insurance companies have been waging an extensive anti car theft campaign. Instructors in the High School Driver Education courses throughout the state have also been impressing students with the importance of doing everything they can to reduce the theft toll. Richard Hall, a Walnut High School driver educator, and also a past president of the San Gabriel Valley Chapter of the California Driver Education Association, is among those taking a lead in this form of anti-car theft education. Hall admits that locks and chains will not stop the determined car thief, but he believes it is a community responsibility to help alert car owners on how to reduce auto thefts. He has spoken before local luncheon clubs and various civic organizations, showing' the CDEA 30 minute film, "The Big American Ripoff," also used in driver education classes. Many car thefts, he says, are a "crime of opportunity" and can be reduced if more car owners would take the keys out of the ignition and lock their cars. Approximately half of the cars taken, he believes, were stolen because the owners failed to take these simple, basic precautions. Insurance officials agree that many of the thefts reported are of the "malicious mischief" type, and are not for monetary profit-just for a joyriding thrill, but they can be deadly and cause substantial property loss. But the juveniles are not usually too par ticular. They just take the cars that look easy, unless they've developed sophisticated tastes and are seeking something fast and flashy. The auto-theft ring car-grabbers have more definite targets. Some are seeking certain makes and colors with which to supply a prospective DEL REV WINERY RANCHO DEL REV WINES RUSSELL J.

Others are not quite so particular but are looking for cars that seem to be most in demand and the easiest to sell profitably. Still others specialize in stealing cars that they can strip for parts. This makes for easy disposal. as it eliminates the necessity of using forged papers and switched license plates, thus reducing the chances of getting caught. Several members of a gang specializing in stealing trucks for dismantling and selling as parts were rounded up in California more than a year ago, when local, state and federal in vestigators discovered a lO-acre yard in San Leandro where numerous parts were buried. Using bulldozers to uncover the buried parts, the officers found a dump truck trailer, axles, radiators, front-end assemblies and three truck frames-more than 100 truck parts in all. The find, a result of a three-year investigation, resulted in a number of arrests. ... the chances of a stolen car being involved in an accident are 150 times that of an owner driven car ... More recently a number of stolen cars were found in an au to wrecking yard in the desert east of San Bernardino, and another collection near San Diego. Frequently, however, a car stolen by a professional ring may disappear quickly. If the thief is a member of a ring specializing in parts, he can have the car "cut up" in a short time so its identification is virtually impossible. As one anti-theft expert explains: "When a real pro gets away with your car, there's often nothing left to find within four hours." Fortunately for the nation's car owners only about 20 per cent of the automobiles stolen are taken by professionals for profit. That is the percentage estimate arrived at by analysts after studying police reports. So if your car is not taken by a ring, but by juveniles, there is a good chance you'll eventually recover it, if they don't wreck it during their joyriding. The recovery rate for cars taken by juveniles and later abandoned runs around 80 per cent. In California, however, the professionals have been particularly active.

" If the ring specializes in selling their stolen cars whole. without cutting them up, they may even sell them in some of the Latin American countries, as far away from the point where they were stolen as possible. But when the cars are being stolen to fill definite orders, as is frequently the case, it is necessary to forge proof of ownership. This is frequently done by using the serial numbers taken from a similar model that may be rusting in a salvage dump or auto junk graveyard. After altering all identification marks, the car is then repainted and sold. However. some of the theft-rings have become so brazen they don't even take this trouble to conceal the stolen car's identity. For instance, the Auto Theft Bureau discovered an operation in South Carolina involving 629 stolen cars that were retailed as if they wen~ legitimate without identifying numbers being altered. This, of course, was made possible by lax investigation of transfers by officials. In striking contrast to this loose operation is the clever, well-camouflaged conspiracy in which the Oklahoma evangelist, Arlie Bud Chambers, and Thomas, an Assembly of God preacher in Arlington, were involved. Thomas, previously known in boxing circles as "Irish Mike," pleaded guilty prior to Chambers' conviction, and subsequently testified as to certain details of their operation. He said he had passed envelopes containing cash from Chambers to an admitted thief for eight vehicles that were stolen in Southern California between February and -October 1973. Thoma~ denied that he got any of the money for the stolen cars, but John Lombardo, the admitted thief of five of the vehicles, 73 testified that he and Thomas split the money. He said it was between $500 and $1.500. Testifying in his own defense at his trial. Chambers insisted that he thought the vehicles were gifts from Thomas. who Chambers said represented himself as a wealthy businessman, and that Thomas was simply contributing to his (Chambers') church in Oklahoma City. He added that he thought that Thomas wanted to become his promoter and was just showing his generosity by the gift. Thomas. he said. had shown him a bank account. indicating a $300,000 deposit, an $85,000 dividend check and a business card representing that Thomas was affiliated with a Los Angeles car dealership. He said he gave Thomas some cash merely to satisfy Thomas' associates for the donation of the eight vehicles. "Preacher" Thomas testified that "Evangelist" Chambers was not telling the truth. that he. Chambers. knew that the bank account, the dividend check and the business card were all "phony."

OLIVE AVE ., FRESNO 74 returned a verdict of guilty on nine counts against Chambers. The 43-year-old evangelist is the author of more than 200 religious songs. One of his songs. "Born to Serve the Lord," was recorded several years ago by former Louisiana Governor Jimmie Davis and sold over a million copies. Apparently, the Oklahoma evangelist and the boxer-turned-preacher must have thought they had a fool-proof cover for their "hot car" operation. Chambers had brought his tent campaign to Southern California several times and was widely known for his revival per formances. With this kind of a front he un doubtedly felt that he could get the "hot cars" out of the state and back to the midwest without getting caught. But with the CHP, the FBI, local police, and the NATB (National Automobile Theft Bureau)-all working together, it is getting more difficult every day for the auto-theft rings to escape attention indefinitely. The NATB, by the way, conducts investigations for 429 auto insurance com panies. So the fact that Chambers was well known as RETAIL.. • WHO LES ALE NEW.

District Court in Los Angeles, Thomas's testimony was crucial to proving the government's case. The conspiracy charge, to which Thomas pleaded guilty, could have brought him a five-year prison term and a $10,000 fine. LAMBE AIRCRAFT SALES & SERVICE 485-6410 CHANDLER AIRPORT P.O.

The "hot cars," which Chambers tried to explain as gifts made by Thomas to his church in Oklahoma City, included two Cadillacs and three expensive vans. Thomas said Chambers had "placed an order for them." In recent years Los Angeles has become one of the most popular hunting grounds patronized by the professional big-time rings in stealing luxury cars to fill Eastern and Mid western orders. Thomas R. Flynn, Public Affairs Manager for Allstate Insurance Company, reports that half of all the cars stolen in California are taken in Los Angeles. Since so many of these Los Angeles cars are being taken by professionals, the percentage of recovery is down in that area-below the state recovery rate. Some of the more clever rings have been found to use special sales techniques in disposing of their "hot cars." One gang operating from Long Island, New York, offered "cream-puffs" (spotless cars) at "discount prices." Their procurors specialized in stealing new, luxury model cars with very little mileage. This ring even guaranteed satisfaction, so that if a customer 'ras not satisfied with the car sold him, the gang would re-steal it, thus enabling him to collect from the company in which it was insured. 75 SIGLER'S Inc. WELDING EQUIPMENT Welder Sales & Service 1828 Los Angeles St. 237-6322 In Dallas a ring that specialized in stealing Cheyelles and Corvette sports cars from shopping centers and apartment house parking lots in that city and Fort Worth has been broken up. However. this gang continued for some time by altering identification numbers. repainting cars and often changing the upholstery in a "body shop" in Graham. Texas. After being given the new look. some of their cars were sold to dealers and some at public auction. One of the oldest tricks in the business is switching the identification plate from a wrecked car to a stolen auto of the same type and model. This is known in the racket as the "salvage method." Lester L. Hughes of Roann, Ind. developed a big business in "hot cars" by using this simple trick. until the FBI and the NATB discovered his secret formula for getting rich quick. Hughes began his operation by buying ap proximately 200 wrecked automobiles from wholesale salvage dealers, explaining that he planned to sell parts and rebuild a few cars. With this supply of authentic identification plates on hand, Hughes and a confederate began stealing cars to match his wrecked models from parking lots in Chicago's suburbs. They were careful to get the same make, color and model of the wrecked stock they had in their salvage collection. Quickly after a car was stolen, Hughes would run it into his special workshop, where he and his co-worker would replace the stolen vehicle's identification number with the number taken from a wrecked car of identical model. Then representing the stolen car as a rebuilt one, he would sell it, using the legitimate certificate of title he had obtained with the wrecked one.

GENERAL CONTRACTOR License Number 285797 255-0477 One of the oldest tricks in the business is switching the identification plate from a wrecked car to a stolen auto of the same type and model. For awhile everything worked without a hitch and he reportedly sold 72 cars for $107,500. But one day in checking a car on Hughes' car 4574 E. Clay Ave. Fresno, Calif. 76 lot, two anti-au to-theft detectives noticed that an unusual aluminum rivet had been used to fasten an identification plate on a Chevrolet. This led to 17 cars on the lot being identified as stolen, and further investigation led the sleuths to 87 more "hot cars" that had been sold by Hughes. He was arrested and pleaded guilty, getting a IS-year sentence. By taking identification plates and registration certificates from cars, a trick facilitated by glove compartments being left unlocked, a more complicated form of thievery has occasionally been practiced. Using the data on the stolen certificates, the theft ring's office force would then type up Motor Vehicle transfer forms, such as used in certifying change of title. Then an application would be made for new registration certificates and license plates. This trick was first used in New York, and when an order came in for a Cadillac or some luxury car similar to one for which the gang had obtained registration certificates and license plates, a thief with master ignition keys was sent out to steal one of the wanted models.

Because neither the license nor the identification plate were on any list of stolen cars, the "hot car" often escaped detection. In California, this intricate type of trickery associated with the auto-theft racket is being thwarted in many cases by the excellent, close cooperation between the California Highway Patrol and the Department of Motor Vehicles. They have joined in a statewide crackdown on organized auto-theft, and are getting good results. For some time these two state agencies have been concentrating on checking the influx of stolen cars from other states and Mexico, and also giving special attention to the "salvage switch" racket, in which identification num bers are transferred from wrecked vehicles to stolen ones of the same make and model. DMV investigators and other DMV personnel whose jobs require verification of vehicle iden tification numbers have been given special training in detection techniques. And since the WHEELeD. 255-4811 4650 E. Hedges Ave. Fresno cleverest of car thieves nearly always leave clues. many are being brought to justice. But one basic fact remains; the protection of your car from thieves remains to a large extent your individual responsibility. Many of the anti-theft devices added to cars in the last few years have helped to protect automobiles from the juvenile joyrider. Usually the only cars being stolen by kids today are those in which the owner forgot and left the key in the ignition. The ignition key warning buzzer, the steering wheel lock. the tamper-resistant odometer and the anti-theft alarm systems have all helped to make cars safer from young and non professional thieves. And all of these protective gadgets are helping to reduce the total of cars stolen annually in Califronia. But they have not stopped the professional, only slowed him down and made his life a bit more complicated. The Auto-Statis, or Automatic Statewide Auto Theft Inquiry System. which has been in operation in California for nearly ten years, continues to play a major role in enabling patrolmen to make quick identification of stolen cars, and results in a higher rate of prompt recovery. You can help by always locking your car and putting the ignition key in your pocket or pocketbook. pt1Je POSTAL® INSTANT PRESS DALE NEUMANN PRINTING WHILE-LJ-WATCH! 233-4247 1924 Fresno Street Fresno, Ca. 93721 DIAMOND MOTORS We Finance all the cars we sell 344 Abby 268-8433 NELSON CRANE &SIGN SERVICE 80 FT.

Dakota (1 Block north of Sears I PROFILES: THE KIL,LED -KILLERS -WEAPONS Examination of circumstances under which law enforcement officers were slain during the period 1965-1974 discloses that more officers were kitled attempting arrests than in any other police activity. This situation continues a trend established in prior years and dramatically illustrates the fact that no arrest can be con sidered routine. Officers are extremely alert with all individuals they contact and, par ticularly. where they have advance knowledge of criminal history of any person they seek to arrest. In the period 1965-1974, 947 law en forcement officers were slain, and some 1,330 individuals were identified and charged, clearing 95 per cent of these killings. The following chart. reprinted from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports of 1974, shows the criminal history of these 1,330 persons iden tified in the killing of officers during the decade 1965-1974.

Specifically. of the 947 officers slain by criminal action during this period, 675 were killed through the use of handguns, 119 with shotguns. 111 with rifles, 18 through such means as clubs, automobiles, etc., 13 with knives. 8 with personal weapons such as hands, fists, and feet, and 3 were killed with bombs. One hundred five officers, or 11 per cent, were slain with their own firearms. Of the officers slain in 1975. 126 were killed through the use of firearms. Handguns were used in 93 of the slayings. WAR DEAD AND MURDERED We think of war as terrible-war dead are honored, revered and sadly remembered. But how do their numbers compare with the number of people murdered each year? The FBI Bulletin reports that the estimated 20,600 murders committed in the United States in 1974 are more than twice the total battle deaths of U.S. Armed Forces in our nation's first three major wars. Department of Defense figures reveal Revolutionary War (1775-1783) battle deaths as 4,435; War of 1812 (1812 1815) as 2,260; and Mexican War (1846-1848) as 1,733. Combined, these combat fatalities total 8,428. The sum of murders committed through use of firearms across this land in 1974 is more than triple the total battle deaths of the Revolutionary War alone. 68 percent of the murders in this country in 1974 were com mitted by persons using firearms-54 percent involved handguns, nine percent shotguns, and fiv e percent rifles. 94 MOY'S KITCHEN CHINESE FOOD TO TAKE OUT Frank W .

Mr. Kai was employed as a deputy sheriff for Fresno County in 1950 and was assigned to the Identification Division. He · worked in the Records Department and in 1957 passed the Sergeant's examination. There was no opening for a sergeant, however, and the list expired before he was promoted. In 1958 there was a reorganization of the Records Division and Mr. Kai transferred from deputy sheriff to civilian status and was promoted to Senior Identification Technician. He was placed in charge of an important section of the department, the M.O. (Method of Operation) Division, which he actually started.

FRESNO COUNTY F~RM BUREAU 1274 W. Hedges, Fresno 93728-Ph. 237-0263 Mr. Kai knew that he needed special training in this field. The only place to get this training was Sacramento, so he resigned his position with the Fresno County Sheriff's Department and moved to Sacramento. He worked there for one year, in a state civil service position with the Criminal Identification and Investigation Department. At the end of the year he returned to Fresno and was rehired by the Fresno County Sheriff's Department. Mr. Kai was again placed as supervisor of the M. O. Division and began putting his new knowledge to use. He started a new system to aid in investigation of criminal cases. This system involved the wheel measurements of vehicles and was the only one of its kind in the United States. Mr. Kai was given special recognition in 1959 by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. His knowledge and dedication have helped many police officers, not only in Fresno County, but from many other agencies in other counties as well.

Dinuba, Selma 896-2552 of BOlllbings: An Ominous Challenge By Clarence M. Kelley, Director Federal Bureau or Investigation As a weapon of crime and extremism, the bomb represents a uniquely dangerous and challenging threat that all levels of law en forcement must endeavor to meet more ef fectively. Explosive and incendiary devices are capable inflicting death, personal injury, and destruction on a massive and viciously in discriminate scale. Moreover, the relative ease with which these bombing devices may be improvised, concealed, and treacherously activated contributes immeasurably to the seriousness of this terrifying menace. Persons responsible for crimes of this nature range from the mentally deranged to coldly methodical terrorists and hoodlum enforcers who mur derously employ sophisticated bombs.

Although this annual total was exceeded only slightly in 1975, a shocking rise in resultant fatalities, personal injuries, and extent of property damage was recorded. In 1974, incidents of this nature led to two dozen deaths, over 200 personal injuries, and property damage valued at about $10 million. During 1975, the number of fatalities almost tripled-totaling 69-and well over 300 persons were injured. In the same period, one bambing incident alone accounted for $14 million worth of property damage. From a law enforcement standpoint, the difficulties in dealing with this menace are formidable. Bombers may strike at any time, in virtually any direction, and with a bewildering array of devices and tactics. To protect themselves and others, police officers must be trained to recognize and react properly to these hazardous situations. "Survival training" at this level is of paramount importance.

Consequently, these cases require highly specialized investigative attention and technical resources. To more effectively meet these critical and demanding investigative challenges, law en forcement agencies are urged to fully utilize the extensive areas of technical and training assistance offered through the FBI. Major cooperative areas of this type include the many services of the FBI Laboratory in relation to the forensic examination of physical evidence, and other forms of highly advanced technical aid. Also of major importance are the varied forms of training support and technical information concerning bombing devices provided by the FBI Bomb Data Program. Statistical data and related information pertaining to bombing incidents are compiled and disseminated through the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program to all police agancies. In a very real sense, the power of knowledge is perhaps law enforcement's most potent weapon in our struggle against the awesome destructiveness of the bombing menace. Let us use this power to maximum effect.

But Clovis is trying to change the image from "cow-town" to "western city." Information gathered from an analysis of surveys has shown that Clovis is the fastest growing city in California, percentage-wise, based on population growth. Along with this increased growth, there has also been an in crease in the crime rate in the areas of major crimes-armed robberies, narcotics, and burglaries. In coping with the situation the Clovis Police Department has tried to handle its problems Above left: Old Police Station at Bu liard & Pollasky. left: New Police Station under construction at 5th and Baron.

But the City of Clovis is in the process of building a new facility which will be more than adequate. It will have ample space for interrogation rooms, office space, a teletype office, areas for filing cabinets, a jail complex, a photo lab, and a large basement which will eventually be used for an un derground indoor pistol range. Also in the large basement area, housed beneath the Police Department, are the air conditioning and heating units for the entire facility, which consists of the Police Depart ment, City Hall, a new Council Chamber, Engineering Department, and the new Clovis branch of the Fresno County Library. The Clovis Police Department, and the City of Clovis as a whole, should be very proud of this new facility. It will aid the community greatly by allowing the Police Officers ample space to do a proper job. It will also be a gathering place for the community, in the Council Chambers and the library area, and it will definitely be an asset to the entire area.

So you turn back, and you look kinda confused as she hands you your $9. Now, when you have that $9 in your hand, you say, 'I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to give you a 10; I really didn't want to break it.

There are precautions that can be taken but honest people sometimes don't think of the need for taking them or they just plain don't want to be bothered. The answer, therefore, is a pickproof hip pocket. So far there isn't one available but that may soon change because of a tailor who ad vertised and a dip that responded. The tailor is Elsie L. Young, 58, a warm, friendly woman who has been sewing ever since somebody gave her an old treadle machine some 39 years ago. Of course the treadle model is long gone; now she makes her living at a whirring electric Singer in her modest, turn-of- HELM STORE FEATURING BEER & WINE/FRESH MEATS AND PRODUCE STANDARD OIL PRODUCTS 866-5366 14935 So.

The pickpocket is a man Mrs. Young has never met. Or so she thinks. In an anonymous letter, he sent her his plans for a pickpocket-proof pair of pants. She is now attempting to patent the design, hoping to sell it to a manufacturer. At the least she hopes to help her own customers hang on to their wallets. The story begain late last fall when a client asked her if she could fix his pocket so it couldn't be picked. "The man was from around st. Louis, in town for a business meeting," she recalls. "He said he had lost $175 when his billfold was stolen not too long before." Mrs. Young had to tell the man she couldn't help.

It was attached to the following letter: "In reply to your advertisement in the Star, I am offering you a method of protecting men from having their pockets picked. To establish my credibility, I am a retired professional pick pocket and am 78 years old. I make no apologies for my former profession which I look back upon with a certain amount of pride because I was one of the best in the business.

For one thing, she and her friends enjoyDISCOUNTING RAZORS "As you will note by the inclosed (sic) rough sketch of a man's hip pocket. the simple device of a band of elastic sewn into the left hip pocket of a pair of trousers is a foolproof method of thwarting pickpockets. There is only one way a pocket can be picked and that is by sliding the index and middle fingers over both sides of a wallet and deftly lifting it out. "There is nothing to a popular conception that pockets are slit with a razor blade and the poke removed from the bottom of the pocket. That is ridiculous. "I note in your ad you offer to pay an agreed upon fee for the earliest acceptable design. In my case, this will not be necessary. Perhaps retribution, at my age, has set in a little bit and I am, in a way, trying to clear my conscience (although I have no trouble sleeping). I live off of 'dividends' saved during my productive years, plus Social Security. Hence, I reject your fee and keep my identity anonymous. HEAT IN CHICAGO "When I retired 13 years ago, I moved to Indianapolis from Chicago because the heat of Chicago cops never leaves a professional. Indianapolis is a good place to live and I have never jeopardized my peace of mind by • practicing my art here. "I hereby relinquish all rights and claims to this design and turn them over to you without cost or obligation." The letter was signed "Joe." "He had such a simple idea," exclaims Mrs. Young, who is convinced that the design will be both effective and easy to install. She decided to try it out on her oldest son, Jack, whose consulting job recently took him to Nigeria. "When he came up for a little visit before he left, I put it into a pair of his pants and swore him to secrecy," she says. "He's going to be in airports and all, so it should be a good test." HOPE FOR TRAVEL speculating about Joe. "Now every old man that comes in I look at and wonder if it's him, she says. "I'll have to start asking, "Did you ever live in Chicago?" She says business picked up and some clients began treating her "like a celebrity" after the Indianapolis Star ran a front-page story that included the text of the letter. Joe remains unknown. Mrs. Young lives in anticipation of wealth. Until her secret is made public, the hardworking, honest citizen will have to continue present precautions also in anticipation of the day he can benefit from Joe the dip's idea.

Chief Silverio Sanchez has carefully guided his officers to obtain additional training and education. He observes this as a continuous project, for the varied duties of the police of ficer require increased education and awareness of the problems a growing com munity may have. The goal, specifically, is to attain a higher degree of professionalism and effectiveness for the officers who protect the rights and property of the people.

The hiring of several new officers has been accomplished chiefly through the utilization -of the state funded California Employment Training Act (CET A) by which grants are issued to potential full-time officers. From a ten-man department in 1974, the Mendota Police Department has expanded to include three additional officers. An effective recruiter of personnel, CETA grants to this agency have resulted in the hiring of Richard Espinosa, Karen Philp, Michael Espinoza, and Barry Finch. Richard Espinosa was selected to fill the position of retiring Joe Hughes. Michael Molsbergen was hired in March 1975 for the patrolman's position vacated by John Swimley. Both Molsbergen and Espinosa have suc cessfully completed police academy training at the Modesto Regional Police Academy facility. v. C. BRITTON CO. FIREBAUGH CALIFORNIA J&J RANCH FIREBAUGH, CALIF. 143 Karen Philp. Michael Espinoza and Barry Finch are to complete academy training within the next year. Officers Joe Rascon and Joe Silva attended the Bahn Fair, an 80-hour course on photographic techniques at Lake Tahoe during this past year. Here these officers were in structed about various photographic equip ment and developing procedures. These techniques will be used for this department's investigative bureau. In February 1975 Sgt. Vernon Banta was classified as an expert in the field of shoe print identification at the Firebaugh Justice Court. Six Mendota officers had the opportunity last year to attend officers' survival classes at San Luis Obispo. The course of instruction is designed to make the police more aware of the problems and challenges he faces and how to better prepare himself against them. Officer Michael Molsbergen has been given the special and necessary task of introducing information to young students of local schools. The information is primarily related to the drug problem of the youth, and the program serves to let the young people know that their police department is here to help and serve the community. JOE HUGHES RETIRES A big event for Joe Hughes and the Mendota Police Department took place last June when Joe, a respected and well loved officer, retired. • Joe Hughes' likeable personality was and is keenly felt in the community he chose to serve as a public servant.

A portable radio program was initiated and has proved to be an effective way to facilitate communication. The portable radio allows each duty officer to have a means of direct communication with his base of operations. By such effective and immediate communication, the officer maintains better control of the situation. The Mendota Police Department has equipped most of its regular officers with portable radio receivers which allow the dispatcher to alert off-duty officers when an emergency exists. Each one can be alerted individually, or all of them can be alerted simultaneously. This has proven to be a valuable aid in obtaining needed personnel in critical situations. The communication base system as well as patrol radios has been changed and moder nized for greater range and dependability. During the last year, this department has asked for and received a teletype transceiver which has greatly assisted communication and identification.

It is equally valid as a test for any citizen who wants to be a good witness if ever called upon. Read the short paragraph below and answer the questions about it. In the space provided, put a T if the statement is true, an F if it is false, and a question mark if you can't be sure. Answer using only information given in the story. Bugs Malone has been killed. Police have brought in five suspects, all of whom have criminal records. In addition, police have established for certain that all five were near the scene of Malone's death at about the same time it took place. All five had important reasons for wanting Malone dead. One of the five criminals, Solly Timms, has been able to establish his complete innocence. --1. Bugs Malone was a criminal. --2. The person responsible for Malone's death had a criminal record. --3. All five of the criminals brought in by police were known to have been near the scene of the murder. -4. Solly Timms has a criminal record. -S. Solly Timms is known to have been near the killing of Bugs Malone at the time it happened. --6. Solly Timms is the only criminal known to be innocent. --7. The police do not know who killed Malone. --8. All five criminals wanted Malone to be murdered. See answers on next page. Compliments of MICHAEL GIFFEN RANCH INC. 36906 W. Shaw Ave. Firebaugh, CA 155 WHODUNIT? ANSWERS 1. ? -You might assume that Malone was a criminal, since he knew criminals and had a name like Bugs. But the story does not say he was a criminal, leaving the question in doubt. (Notice how our answer assumes that Bugs is a man. Actually, the story does not identify him as male or female, young or old, or even as a human. Perhaps Bugs Malone was a dog or a parrot. Do you see how much we take for granted in what we read?) 2. ? -Since we don't know who was responsible, we don't know if the person has a criminal record. 3. ? -This is a tricky one that most people probably marked as true. But the story does not say that Malone was murdered; it only says he was killed. He might have been hit accidentally by a truck. 4. T -The story says that Timms was one of the five suspects, all of whom had a criminal record. BETTER HOSPITALS MEAN BETTER CARE AND BETTER HEALTH SUPPORT SAINT AGNES HOSPITAL BUILDING PROGRAM FRANK C. DIENER RANCH Five Points, Calif. s. T -The story establishes this fact. 6. ? -Another tricky one. We know Timms is innocent, but the story does not say, one way or the other, whether others of the five are also innocent. 7. ? -We don't know, since the story does not state this fact one way or the other. 8. ? -The story states that all five had reasons for wanting Malone dead -but not necessarily murdered.

ROBERT SERIAN SELMA 165 DON~T MISS A HAIR A Decision of Guilt or Innocence Can Depend on a Hair Many television shows would have us believe that miracles can be accomplished with crime lab examinations-and sometimes they very nearly can be. Plots often use the identification of hair as a means of capturing the criminal. Hair is used in real criminal cases but it has its limitations. Portions of this article are reprinted from the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin of May 1976 (second revision). The successful investigation of violent of fenses such as rape, murder, hit and run, assault, etc., is often materially assisted through the examination of hairs. Hairs are likely to become detached from the scalp, other areas of the body, or clothing and transferred from one person to another in any violent encounter. Evidence of this nature is present in a large number of criminal cases.

Hairs readily become attached to the instrument used, especially where there are bloodstains on the weapon to which the hairs will adhere. An examination of such hairs will aid in establishing whether or not the instrument was used to perpetrate the crime. (See fig. 1.) Hair evidence has been used to advantage in the solution of other crimes, such as breaking and entering, burglary, robbery, kidnaping, etc., where the subject or victim has brushed against objects or has come in contact with animal furs. The examination of hairs may prove of value in identifyin~ both the living and the dead. It tends to identify the perpetrator of a crime by placing him at the scene of a crime or with the victim. (See fig. 2.) Hairs are very resistant to 167 decomposition and putrefaction. They often remain as evidence of identification long after other means, such as facial features and fingerprints, have been destroyed. Hair evidence can be difficult to locate, and a search for it can hardly be too meticulous. For example, in a hit-and-run case it is suggested that if the investigation reveals a car was possibly involved in the case, the car be placed on a lift or over a grease pit and searched thoroughly with an oblique light from the underneath side to the top. (See fig. 3.) If a hair examination is requested, all foreign fibrous debris is removed from the submitted specimens in the laboratory. The hairs are separated from the other debris and are prepared for examination. If hairs are not fully developed or are too fragmentary, they are not suitable for an adequate hair examination. Except in rare instances, there are not enough individual chara.cteristics in hair from which to determine positively that a hair of unknown source came from a particular person to the exclusion of all other persons. A hair is an appendage of the skin and consists of a bulb or root end, the shaft, and a tip end. The shaft grows outward from the root end and is composed of the cuticle or outside covering, the cortex, and the medulla or core. The cuticle is formed by overlapping scales which always point toward the tip end of the hair. The cortex consists of elongated cells ~ which comprise the bulk of the hair. The medulla or core is composed of variously shaped cells. The pigment, when present,may be found in varying amounts distributed throughout the hair and is responsible for the color of the hair. HUMAN OR ANIMAL It can be determined whether hair is human or animal in origin. Such a determination is based on root shape, scale shape, color pat terns, pigment distribution, and medulla width. Also, in contrast to . humans, most animals have two types of hairs, an outer coat of guard hairs and an inner coat of tur hairs. Hairs of many different types of animals are sufficiently characteristic that the kind of animal can usually be determined.

In most instances, it can be determined whether a human hair came from a member of the Negroid, Mongoloid, or Caucasian race or from a person of mixed racial origin. Hair from members of the Negroid race contains heavy pigment distributed unevenly. A thin cross section of a hair from a member of the Negroid race is flat to ova~ in shape. (See fig. 4.)

BODY AREA The region of the body from which the human hair has been removed can be deter mined with considerable accuracy from the length, size, color, stiffness, curliness, general gross appearance, and microscopic ap pearance. Scalp hairs generally show less diameter variation and a more constant pigment distribution than hairs from other body areas. Beard hair is coarse, curved, and often triangular in cross section. Hairs from the eyebrow, eyelid, nose, or ear are short, stubby, and have wide medullas. They taper rapidly to a fine point and can be CHRIS SORENSEN PACKING CO.

Note how these match known specimens (right and below) from the head of the deceased. distinguished by the general overall ap pearance. Limb hairs typically taper from base to tip, have a granular medulla, and form an arc. Axillary hairs are fairly long with unevenly distributed pigment. They vary considerably in diameter along the shaft, sometimes have a bleached appearance, and have fine pointed tips when not cut. Pubic hairs are similar to axillary hairs but are coarser and do not appear bleached. They also are more wiry, have more constrictions and twists, and often have continuous broad medullas. It is not difficult to establish whether hair has fallen our or has been pulled out forcibly , if the rood end is present. Hairs which have fallen out from natural causes will have a bulb-like root. This bulb will have a clean appearance with nothing adhering to it. Hairs that have been pulled forcibly will usually have a portion of the sheath \ clinging to the bulb, the bulb might not be fully developed, and the bulb will often have a mutilated appearance. An examination of the shafts of hairs often reveals that the hairs have been crushed or shattered with a blunt object or cut with a sharp instrument. Under high magnification, crushed or shattered areas of the hair shaft are readily observable. A sharp cutting instrument leaves the cortical cells of the shaft severed with a clean and smooth cut. A blunt instrument wi11leave the ends of the severed cortical cells of the hair shaft with a jagged or rough ap pearance. Dyed or bleached hair can be distinguished from natural hair. Dyed hairs, when observed microscopically, have a dull appearance, the inner margin of the cuticle is obscured, and the pigment granules are less prominent than in natural hairs. Bleached hairs have a rough appearance and contain less pigment than natural hairs, varying with the degree of bleaching. If there has been a subsequent growth of hair since dyeing or bleaching, the natural end portion will stand out markedly. Human hair grows approximately one-half inch per month, and thus, by mathematical com putation, it is possible to estimate the amount of time that has passed since dyeing or bleaching. ORIGIN OF THE SPECIMEN The prIme purpose of human hair examinations in the laboratory is to determine whether a human hair specimen of unknown source, hereafter referred to as a questioned specimen, could have originated from the same source as a known hair sample representing a particular person.

It can be determined, however, that the hair of unknown source matches a known hair sample from a certain individual in all microscopic characteristics and, accordingly, could have originated from the same source or that it is sufficiently dissimilar to the known hair sample and, therefore, is not from the same person. In making hair comparisons, a comparison microscope is most essential so that the questioned hairs and the known hairs can be viewed at the same time. Any variations in the microscopic characteristics can thus be readily seen. Hair from any given area of the body, such as the scalp, will exhibit a range of characteristics. Therefore, it is very important to have several hairs in the known specimen in order to determine if all the variations in the questioned sample are also present in the known sample. The hairs are first observed microscopically in the condition that they were obtained. In this examination, particular attention is given to any foreign material, such as blood, that might be on the hair. Any foreign material on the hair should be identified, if present in sufficient quantity for testing. MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION The hairs are then mounted on a glass slide in one of the commercially available mounting media for detailed microscopic examination. On occasion, a hair ~i11 possess special characteristics that are particularly useful in comparing questioned hairs with a known sample. Such characteristics include a cracked cuticle, abundant cortical fusi (intercellular spaces, diseases, a double medulla, and ver· min). No opinion is expressed as to the results of the examination of hairs unless the examiner has had wide experience in examining and identifying hairs.

To be representative, at least a dozen hairs are taken from different areas of the scalp, pubic region, or other body areas being sampled.

They might be damaged and any debris clinging to them might be lost. Although hairs cannot be positively iden tified as originating from a particular person to the exclusion of all others, hair evidence can contribute significantly to the investigation of a case and subsequent court action. From the investigative standpoint, hair recovered at a crime scene can provide valuable leads and most certainly should not be overlooked. At a trial, testimony concerning hair examinations has the primary value of corroborating other evidence such as the statement of witnesses.

Only a few years ago burglary was a word heard on television or at the movies; oc casionally there would be an article about a home being entered and valuables removed. The average person thought little about the crime and went about his business with little or no regard for the possibility that it might someday be his home that was burglarized. Unfortunately this is no longer the case. The majority of persons today has a first hand knowledge of a friend or neighbor whose home was burglarized, or even the first hand ex perience of being a victim of a burglar. What exactly is a burglary? Five to ten times a day the Sheriff's patrol dispatcher will receive a phone call from an excited or distraught person who has returned to his home to find that persons unknown have smashed a window or door, entered, and stolen his property. The majority of times the caller will state, "Send the police; I've been robbed." Once the dispatcher calms the person, it usually develops that the person was burglarized. Robbery is the term used to describe a crime where a criminal arms himself with a weapon, such as a gun or knife, or even uses bodily force, to forcibly remove the property from another. The burglar is a different breed of criminal. The burglar prefers not to confront his victim as this increases the chances of identification and apprehension. The burglar is a sneak thief of the highest order. He prefers hit-and-run tactics, operating swiftly and usually un detected. The burglar carefully selects an unCICCllDi{~d home that is not equipped with a alarm. Once such a location is found, burglar forces entry and commits the theft no regard for the victim. Residences are not the only structures that be burglarized. According to the California Code, entry of any house, room, apart ment, tenement, shop, warehouse, store, mill, barn, stable, outhouse, or other building, tent, vessel, railroad car, trailer coach, vehicle (when locked), aircraft, or mine with the intent to commit grand or petit larceny or commit any felony is a burglary. Due to limitations on time and space, this article will deal only with residential burglaries. RURAL PROBLEMS In the vast expanses of Fresno County which are sparsely populated, unique crime problems abound. Because of the distance between residences and ranches, burglars and thieves operate with considerably more safety and opportunity for success than their counterparts who plague unattended homes and property in the more densely populated metropolitan areas. The reasons for the rapidly increasing crime rate in the rural areas is that residences located a mile or so apart are easier to burglarize than those in areas having neighbors who take notice of suspicious automobiles and persons in their neighbors' yards. For decades the traditional burglar preferred to work under the cover of darkness. The burglar did not have to be very smart in order to locate homes which were obviously unat tended as indicated by the stack of newspapers on the front porch, the porch light burning with no interior lights on, the conspicious absence of vehicles around the residence, or a host of indications of unattended residences. As the number or burglaries increased, the property owner became increasingly more difficult to victimize. Persons began to lock their homes more securely, to install burglar preventative devices and locks which made forced entry more difficult. The advent of residential burglar alarms and the increased usage of business burglar alarms increased the hazards of the traditional type of burglary. 177 FROM NIGHT TO DAY Rather than deterring the number of burglaries and thefts. the burglars and thieves simply changed their methods of operation. The nocturnal burglar became rare while the daylight burglar began to operate with alar ming efficiency. In daylight hours numerous residences are left empty while the occupants work or attend school. It became apparent that burglars had discovered that many rural homes were vacant during the day also and were so remotely located that the burglary of the residence or its outbuildings could be effected with little chance of interruption. The typical burglar works with one or more accomplices who drive around casing neigh borhoods looking for signs of an easy mark. Often the burglars will enter the driveway of the intended burglary scene and go to the front door. If someone comes to the door, they will ask for a person that they know does not live there. Often the burglars will ask to use the telephone to gain entry for the purposes of checking out the house for property that would make their returning worthwhile. If the burglars locate an unattended residence, they will try the front door and, if the residence is unlocked (which often happens) the burglars leisurely enter and select the items which are most easily sold or fenced. The selected property is then transported from the scene to a variety of different locations where it is sold for a fraction of its value. Tragically, many times the victim cannot afford to replace the stolen items which are, in some cases, uninsured. THE PRIME REASON You may ask the reason for so many burglaries. Usually the answer is as tragic as the burglary. Often the burglar is a drug addict who must burglarize in order to get money to buy illicit drugs. The heroin-burglary circle never ends. Once the habit is fed, the user must begin to plan yet another burglary or theft while he is temporarily in a state of well being. Typically the addict has only four to six hours between fixes to accomplish another job before the withdrawals start to set in. When he is strung out an addict muct steal at least once a day to purchase enough drugs to keep ahead of his need.

Unfortunately, many of today's homes are no more secure locked than unlocked. Materials used in construction of door frames are usually too soft to withstand much strain and the majority of door knob assemblies sold today can be easily forced with a minimum amount of force applied quickly and silently by a burglar armed with a set of pliers. If the home owner has the foresight to construct strong jambs and to purchase quality locks and deadbolts, he often installs the hardware in a hollow-core door which can be smashed with the bare fist or in a door which has a glass window. The glass in the door can be easily and quietly broken so that the burglar can reach in and unlock the door or simply crawl through the window area. Often a victim has a very secure residence but installs a dog door large enough for a small adult to enter. If the home owner installs solid-core doors often he will neglect to secure aluminum framed sliding glass windows and patio doors which can be entered with the greatest of ease EXCLUSIVE FLORIST COMPLETE FLORAL SERVICE FOR ALL OCCASIONS ALSO GREEN PLANTS & HANGING PLANTS DeliVER TO SANGER & fRESNO AREA CREDIT AVAILABlE SHOP TElEPHONE NUMBERS , ~.. 87s~';;725 • W-I 264~S252 ' 2411 JlNSEN (Jut.t Acrou From Songer Hospital) SANGER Growers and Shippera of Flncy C.liforni.

Every burglar with any experience at all knows how easily and quietly he can remove a sliding window or door by simply lifting it from the channel and removing it. Recently a burglar was apprehended who was responsible for burglarizing more than fifty homes and apartments in an exclusive North west Fresno area. This subject went door-to door looking for unattended apartments or residences, and upon locating one, would go to the rear patio or backyard and attempt to lift the sliding door from its runner. If the door was locked or secured in such a manner to resist removal , this burglar would go to another home rather than risk detection from the noise that breaking the glass or smashing down a door would cause.

Under the leadership of Sheriff McKinney, the Sheriff's Department of Fresno County has undertaken several new and innovative programs which it is hoped will help curb the crime rate which has shown a ten to fifteen percent increase every year since 1960. It is somewhat heartening to learn that while the rest of the nation experienced a ten to fifteen percent increase in 1975, Fresno experienced an increase of only five percent in the area of major crime. C.I.P. One of the Sheriff's newest programs is the Crime Impact Program, or CIP, which is directed at the addict, who is responsible for committing most of the major crimes. It is difficult to estimate how many addicts are in Fresno County; opinions range from 2,000 to 6,000. It is interesting to note that during the period of March 1976 through May 1976, more than 400 persons were booked into the Fresno County Jail who had either visible fresh needle marks or tracks or who stated that they were addicted and would go through withdrawals while they were incarcerated. Because of the difficulty in prosecuting addicts for only being under the influence, only approximately 25% of the addicts arrested in that three-month period were, or will be, prosecuted. It will take some time before the effectiveness of this program is known, but it is encouraging to know that the number of residential burglaries has decreased noticeably and the losses incurred by burglars decreased drastically during the first three months of the Crime Impact Program. JUVENILE PROGRAM While the Crime Impact Program is directed against the adult criminal, the Fresno County Sheriff's Department has been taking preventative measures against potential lawbreakers-juveniles. In conjunction with the already established School Resources Program in which an officer regularly visits school campuses and participates in school activities, the department has a full-time counselor with a masters degree in Social 182 LA PLAZA CLUB 931 F Street 237-0221 BEER WINE RECREATION 486·9817 FRESNO'S BUICK DEAlER SINCE 1951 SALES & SERVICE COMPLETE BODY SHOP RENTING & LEASING SERVICE 1II~••~ DOUBLE CHECK USED CARS 1744 N.

In the budget for 1976, the Board of Supervisors has assisted in the fight against the ever increasing crime rate by allotting funds to continue the present rate of law enforcement within the county as well as additional funds for more manpower to patrol the rural and unincorporated county areas. Funds were also made available for new and improved radio communications and the addition of a second criminalist (a highly trained lab expert) to bring the sciences into the fight against crime. INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS Often persons ask if there is anything they can do to cut down the odds of having their homes burglarized. This is the most important step and that is to care.

If the advice is taken. your home will be more secure against forced entry. This inspection will locate faulty locks. poorly constructed doors and windows. and valuable property which is highly tempting to the prowling eye. The next step is to install proper yard lights and locks. The ultimate protection is the in stallation of a burglar alarm. Many times a person says he cannot afford the cost of such an alarm; the cost is minimal when compared to the cost of a home burglary. It is also important to be adequately insured. Often a victim sustains a large loss only to find that he has neglected to purchase enough homeowners and theft insurance. A watch dog is a very effective and inexpensive means of burglary prevention, provided that the homeowner has a properly fenced yard. Burglary prevention is really a matter of common sense. Getting together with one's neighbors and organizing a neighborhood watch is one of the most effective means of increasing protection. Unfortunately, many persons will observe a burglary of a neighbor's home and not even take the time to write down the license number of the car and call the police. When suspicious vehicles and persons are observed at the homes of neighbors, a phone call can be made to the local law en forcement agency which will dispatch a vehicle to investigate. Often this aids in the capture of burglars who have been victimizing homes for a considerable period of time. It is much easier to convict a burglar who is caught at the scene or with stolen property in his possession, than to attempt to identify and prosecute him after he has fled the scene, disposed of the property and, as is often the case, changed clothing, shoes and vehicles. Lastly, one area that is highly neglected is the unattended home over long weekends or during vacations. Accumulations of newspapers, unmowed lawns, homes with the same lights on day after day, are the delight of the burglar. Often homes that are unattended for extended periods are entered and burglarized several times before the occupant returns. Take a little time and look at your home and neighborhood. Ask yourself what you can do to cut the rate of burglaries. Law enforcement can't do it alone. We need your help. 2510 So. East Fresno COWBOY N BEER -SNACKS -POOL 4814 E.

Precision Castings 7070 N. Harrison Ave., Pinedale Interest in an unsolved murder/suicide mystery of 1893 was revived recently when the house where it took place was one of those featured in a local book. The house still stands at 1618 L Street, and it was included in Heritage Fresno -Homes and People, a popular book published late last year by the Fresno Branch ' of the American Association of University Women. The old house was built in 1891, and Louis B. McWhirter was living there in 1892. The mystery was discussed in the new book, but a more detailed report is contained in another local book. In 1919 the History of Fresno County was WALTER SMITH MEN'S -BOYS' WEAR UNIFORM SPECIALISTS FULTON MALL AT KERN " FASHION FAIIR 193 written by Paul E. Vandor and published in two volumes. It recorded: Assassination or Suicide? Cause celebre was that of Richard S. Heath indicted March 16, 1893, for the alleged assassination of Louis B. McWhirter while entering his home at the rear entrance on the night of August 29, 1892. The case attracted widest attention as it was claimed that the assassination was a political one on account of the division in the Democratic party in the county at the time over the presidential can didacies of Cleveland and Hill. McWhirter was a Tennesseean who a few years before had come to Fresno, engaged in the practice of the law in association with M. K. Harris, made a failure of the law and as an erratic Bourbon refonn Democrat was engaged as editorial writer for the Evening Expositor. He had been a refonn politician in Tennessee which state he left to come west after a homicide, also growing out of political dissensions in the Democratic party. Much feeling was aroused over the Mc Whirter case here because at the time the Tennesseean wing of the local Democracy was in control of the county offices. So intense was the "interest and indignation" over the affair that in addition to the SiO,OOO offered reward by the citizens for the arrest and conviction of the assassin, the widow, Mrs. L. B. Mc Whirter, also offered a reward of S10,OOO and the Blasingame family into which McWhirter had married made offer of an additional $S,OOO. The rewards were never claimed because there never was a conviction and dismissals were entered against the two ac cused.

The evidence sup porting the assassination theory and Heath's connection with a homicide was largely cir cumstantial. The plea set up at the trial was that McWhirter had committed suicide. This was one of several constructive defense pleas. The trial jury stood eleven for conviction and one for acquittal-Juror J. H. Lane making the declaration that firearms were coercively exhibited in the jury deliberation room. Motion for a change of venue was denied and the second trial commenced March 5, 1894, was before Judge Lucien Shaw of Tulare. It lasted thirty days and also ended in a disagreement. Change of venue was granted for a third trial to Los Angeles County but the case never again was taken up. Heath later died in Alaska in the Klondike gold fields. His co-defendant was Frederick W. Polley, a carpet layer, the accusing joint indictment having been found by a grand jury of which the late ex-Judge Hart was the foreman. Polley had one trial, the jury disagreed and the indictment against him was dismissed in October, 1893. Heath was a young man related to the Perrins and employed as a sub-foreman on the "Sam'l of Posen" vineyard, the property of M. B. Curtis and wife. Curtis was an actor who had made a success of the dialect character acting of the Polish Jew, made a fortune, invested in Fresno real estate and also founded a town near Berkeley which he named after his play. He was impoverished afterward defending himself on a charge of the murder of a San Francisco policeman. Sen sational disclosures were made in that prosecution that the defense was predicated on suborned testimony. Heath was defended by a strong retinue of lawyers retained by the Perrins and Mrs. M. B. Curtis, while the special prosecutors were as distinguished attorneys in the pay of the Blasingame family: Few cases in the county aroused a greater interest than the Heath prosecution, divided as public sentiment was on the question of assassination' and suicide and this division made more acute by the political differences of the respective theorists. home financing services including: laveillocally.

Known as a barroom politician, Heath was lifted into sudden and unenvied notoriety. McWhirter had made political enemies by reason of his editorial writings and the division in the county Democracy was at the fever heat. However, public opinion was never settled as to whether his end was the result of assassination to silence him politically, or whether an act of self murder. He had his life insured for a large sum and it was known that his financial circumstances were such that but for friendly aid the policies would have lapsed because of inability on his part to meet the premiums due. His career as a lawyer had proven a failure. It was also known that he had spent the marriage endowment of his wife. He had become confirmed in habits of which the wife declared in her testimony she knew nothing about and which in fact she denied. The political stir and enmities that he aroused by his writings obsesssed him with the thought that he was tracked as a marked man for assassination. Many believed then and do now that McWhirter took his own life when he realized that he was at the end of his financial career. The widow married a second time and recovered the insurance on the policies which did not contain the suicide clause. If McWhirter was assassinated, it was a cowardly murder by plotters that lay in wait for him to take him at a disadvantage. If so, the case would not have commanded the wide attention that it did for the political and personal interests that raised it above the or dinary. The end of McWhirter is one of the unsolved mysteries. OLE STRU[TURES.. General Builders, Inc.
