COVER—Because in recent years Fresno County has acquired a metropolitan image, we tend to forget
that it stretches across the San Joaquin Valley from the higher peaks of the Sierra to the crest of the Coast
Range. In the foothills of each range there are hundreds of thousands of acres used principally as grazing
land, with large ranches which haven't changed their basic method of operation to any great extent since
they were established before the turn of the century. There are also cattle raising operations of varying
scope, along with feed lots and auction yards, on the valley floor. To remind us that our "cow country"
heritage is still very much alive, Detective Mike Perry, whose job it is to investigate thefts of cattle and
ranch equipment, has written an article for this edition. The cover photo shows Perry discussing the
cattle rustling problem with rancher Darrell "twang of Coalinga.

Dear Friends,
I am happy to report that for the fourth consecutive year there has been a
significant drop in the overall crime rate in the unincorporated portion
of Fresno County. This goal, to which all police agencies aspire but few
attain, has been reached in spite of the severe budgetary restrictions
imposed two years ago by Proposition 13. And, no matter how much argument
one hears to the contrary, that proposition did adversely affect our ability
to provide an adequate level of police service. The fact we were still able
to reduce the crime rate does not mean we were overstaffed or had too large
a budget prior to the restrictions taking effect. We have managed by elimi-
nating certain services we considered worthwhile or we would never have
provided them in the first place.
Among the services eliminated was the School Resources Program whereby
specially trained officers regularly visited elementary schools to talk to
the youngsters about law and order and to generally establish a rapport
that would endure when they become adults. Also included was the Premises
Inspection Program whereby an officer would visit a home or business on re-
quest and provide advice on security precautions; and the Drug Education
Program which provided speakers to schools, church groups and civic organi-
zations requesting information on the causes, symptoms and control of drug
abuse.
We have not had an increase in personnel to keep pace with the population
increase for several years; we have had to drastically curtail our training
program; we have established rigid priorities for the types of calls and
incidents we respond to or investigate; we have virtually ceased replacing
obsolete and worn -out equipment, a policy we can't continue indefinitely.
Some of these cuts may prove in later years to have been unwise; in the long
run they may create problems which will require the expenditure of more tax
dollars than are being saved by elimination of the programs. Only time will
tell.
In the meantime, we shall earnestly strive to keep on doing our best to
protect life and property in the unincorporated community and to continue
to reduce the crime rate with whatever resources are made available to us.
Sincerely,
�ra roStcKi nney

We have been fortunate in the past year in that no member of the Department
met death in the line of duty. However, we did lose one young officer in a
tragic off-duty traffic accident, and several of our retired members passed
away. To their families and f riends, The Review extends. sincere condolences,
and art assurance that the contributions to the cause of good law enforcement
made by the departed were not in vain.
Melvin A. Willmirth, sheriff of Fresno
County from 1955 to 1975, passed away early
in December of 1979. To those of us who had
served under his leadership for all or most of
his tenure, it seemed almost incredible that a
man with such a positive personality, such
unwavering convictions, and such a high
degree of self confidence could have suc-
cumbed to a heart attack. He had always
seemed able to cope with any problem that
might arise; he'd never backed down or
retreated in the face of criticism, second
guessing, remarks questioning his integrity, or
any of the other unpleasant experiences that
are a constant factor in a public official's life.
Sheriff Willmirth was a native of Fresno
County and grew up and attended school in
Coalinga. For a brief time after high school he
worked for the Union Oil Company in the
Coalinga area, then began his law enforce-
ment career as a member of the Coalinga
Police Department. In 1942 he was appointed
superintendent of the now long defunct
Fresno County Road Camp in Los Gatos
Canyon. Except for a period of U.S. Navy
service in World War II, he served in that
11
capacity until he was sworn in as sheriff in
January of 1955. Then, apparently because
the Board of Supervisors could not find a
suitable replacement for him, he was retained
in that position, in addition to his duties as
Sherif f- Coroner.
Sheriff Willmirth's accomplishments in the
corrections and law enforcement fields are
too numerous to mention in this brief com-
memoration. However, two indisputable
facts demonstrate his foresightedness, his
understanding of human nature, and his
administrative ability and talent for leader-
ship.
First, as superintendent of the road camp,
his strict but fair discipline, his utilization of
inmate labor in a constructive manner, and his
treatment of imnates as human beings with
rights and dignity, and not as hopeless
criminals, resulted in the rehabilitation of
many who seemed destined for a career in
crime, or to the living death of skid row
alcoholism. That was years before the advent
of the many formal rehabilitation programs
prevalent in custodial institutions today.
Later, when he assumed the office of
Sheriff, he took over a demoralized, faction -
ridden, tradition -bound organization, and
within a few years transformed it into a
modern, cohesive, and effective police agen-
cy, one that we could all say we were proud to
be a part of, and of which the people of the
county could be proud.
To Mrs. Willmirth, son Don, and daughter
Jo, we offer assurance that their grief is shared
by all of us who ever called Mel Willmirth our
boss.

Lieutenant Everett C. Haley was listed
among the retirees in last year's edition of The
Review, with no explanation of the reason for
his retirement. Last surnmer he died of
cancer, the illness which had made his re-
tirement necessary.
Bob, as he was known to his many friends,
was born, and spent his childhood, in
Massachusetts. Later his family moved to
Michigan, where he attended Wayne Uni-
versity in Detroit. He served in the United
States Navy in World VVar II, and sometime
during the war years, he met his future wife,
Amy. After the war he and Amy, by then man
and wife, came to Fresno to live.
In February of 1951 Bob became a member
of the Fresno County Sheriff's Department.
He did the usual tour of duty in the jail, was a
bailiff in the court of the late Superior Court
Judge S trother XValton, and had a brief stint at
patrol duty. In September of 1953 he was
assigned to the newly formed Crime Preven-
tion Unit, which later came to be known
simply as the Juvenile Detail. For the remain-
der of his career, except for a year or so just
13
before retirement when lie was a detective
lieutenant in charge of crimes against prop-
erty investigations, he specialized in working
with delinquent and potentially delinquent
youngsters.
Bob was one of the organizers of the
Central Valley Juvenile Officers Association,
was active in the California Juvenile Officers
Association, and served as president of both
organizations. He was a member of the
California Youth Authority Training Institute,
and several other state boards and conuuis-
sions dealing with juvenile justice problems.
Police agencies throughout the state sought
his advice in the establishment and operation
of units specializing in juvenile work. He
taught police science at Fresno City College
and at West Hills College in Coalinga; was
active in the Parent - Teachers Association, his
church, Boy Scouts, and Little League. base-
ball. During his career he made: literally
hundreds of speeches on juvenile problems at
schools, civic organization and service club
meetings, and to church groups. Ilis person-
nel file is overflowing with letters of appreci-
ation from those who heard hire speak or
solicited his advice.
It is too bad there is no way of determining
just how many persons who are now law -
abiding, respectable members of society owe
that status to the counsel provided by Lieu-
tenant Haley at a time when their lives were in
clanger of being ruined by an inclination
toxvard anti - social activity. No doubt there:
are man),, and the knowledge of their exist-
ence is a memorial tribute far more fitting
than any monument of marble or bronze.

Deputy Sheriff Thomas Zarate, Jr., who
had been a member of the Department for
less than a year and a half, was killed in an
automobile accident in Merced County in
January of this year. A native of Merced, he
was there on his day off to visit relatives when
the tragic accident occurred.
Deputy Zarate grew up and attended
school in Merced County, graduating from
LeGrand High School in 1966. fie attended
Merced College, Long Beach City College,
and East Los Angeles College, majoring in
Police Science. He served a hitch in the
United States Marine Corps, attained the rank
of sergeant, and was honorably discharged.
He was in the cleaning business in Long Beach
for about a year, then became a deputy sheriff
in Los Angeles County. After four and a half
years he resigned because he preferred living
in the San Joaquin Valley. For about two
years before becoming a Fresno County
deputy sheriff, he was a security officer at
Valley Medical Center.
15
Deputy Zarate was well liked and respect-
ed by his fellow officers and his supervisors,
from both a personal and a professional
standpoint. fie was a conscientious, dedi-
cated, hard working, and capable young
officer; one who no doubt would have had a
very successful career had it not been for his
untimely death.
Among former members of the Depart-
ment who have been retired for some time,
we have learned of the recent passing of
Captain Clifford Forrest, who was in charge
of the Mental Health Unit for many years;
Sergeant Gene Predmore, who served most of
his career in the Detective and Civil Divisions;
Deputy Dillon "Doc' Rennix, a Municipal
Court bailiff; and Deputy John Wages, who
was a Warrants and Transportation Officer.
Unfortunately, we too often lose contact with
our retired members, so there may have been
others of whose death we were not informed.
If so, we regret the omission.

Not Just A Cliche
People have been known to snicker at
seeing a bumper sticker saying, "Support your
local police," but, for reasons mentioned in
the following paragraphs, the phrase is no
joke.
In the years before and immediately fol-
lowing World War II, the college trained
police officer was almost non - existent. A high
school education, normal intelligence, and a
dash of common sense were all the intellectual
qualifications considered necessary. There
were a lot of good cops in those days, but their
success was due primarily to the fact they had
such a sincere interest in law enforcement
they managed to learn by experience, and
were willing to work long, irregular hours for
a low salary. There were many others who,
while they didn't have the sincere interest to
make them enjoy the work, were appreciative
enough of the job security that they per-
formed at an acceptable level. Some, of
course, were cops simply because they rec-
ognized it as a field where a person could
make a living with a minimum of hard manual
labor. And, there were then, as there are now
and probably always will be, a few who
entered law enforcement primarily because
of a psychological quirk that made them want
to exert authority over others, and thought
that being a cop would give them an ideal
opportunity.
Law enforcement was simpler then, and
such a system, while not ideal, managed to
control crime as well as or better than we are
doing it now. Most citizens had some respect
for the law, and were willing to cooperate
with an officer and obey his instructions
without questioning every legal technicality
involved. The officer may not have always
been one hundred per cent right, but in most
17
instances his intentions were good, and the
end usually justified the means.
As the social and economic upheaval which
followed World War II began to become
more and more complex, it became obvious
that law enforcement was not prepared to
deal with the changing conditions. Far-
sighted police officials realized that for a field
officer to cope adequately with all the new
problems in dealing with people, he would
need extensive training, not only in the tech-
nical and legal aspects of police science, but
also in sociology, psychology, and other
matters pertaining to human relations.
We are very fortunate in California, be-
cause about twenty years ago that need was
taken care of, by legislative establishment of
the Peace Officers Standards and Training
Commission. That agency was charged with
devising and implementing rigid training
standards for all police and sheriff's depart-
ments in the state, with enforcement made
possible by authority to withhold state aid for
law enforcement from any agency which
didn't comply.
Arrangements were made for community
and state colleges, and a few independent
police academies operated by individual
departments, to provide several months of
formal training for the new officer before he
was assigned to duty. The standards were
eventually broadened to include not only the
field officer, but supervisory and command
personnel as well. Newly appointed sergeants
are required to attend a supervisory academy,
and lieutenants and captains must success-
fully complete a college level course in police
management. There is also available through
P.O.S.T. an executive course for those who
are, or aspire to be, above the rank of captain.

All this has been accomplished without cost to
the taxpayer. Instead, it is financed by pro-
ceeds from an assessment added to fines
collected and bail forfeited in lieu of fine.
As entrance requirements and training
standards were raised, so were salaries and
fringe benefits. The overall quality of appli-
cants was thus enhanced; many who now
decide to enter law enforcement do so not
because of some long standing ambition or
overpowering interest, or because their fath-
ers were cops, but simply because they see it
as an opportunity for an interesting career,
rewarding in both personal fulfillment and in
a financial sense. They're the type who would
be likely to succeed in almost any endeavor.
The typical police officer or deputy sheriff in
California today comes closer to being a true
professional than does his counterpart in any
other state. He has the aptitude, the ability,
the training, and the desire to do a first class
job or protecting life and property in his
community.
How long this enviable situation will
endure is questionable. In spite of the higher
salary and more liberal fringe benefits, the
modern equipment, and the education and
training intended to provide greater self
confidence and job satisfaction, all of which
should be conducive to high morale, that is
not the case. Some veteran observers feel that
morale among field officers in general is at an
all time low. As a result, many trained, ex-
perienced, highly motivated officers are
resigning to pursue careers in other fields, and
many potentially fine officers are being dis-
couraged from entering law enforcement.
There are several reasons for this unfortun-
ate state of affairs. One is that the officer
doesn't feel he has even the support, to say
nothing of the respect or gratitude, of the
people he serves. A certain amount of pro-
fessed disdain for those in positions of
authority is traditional in this country, and
may even be a healthy attitude for society as a
whole, for it keeps public officials from
taking themselves and their positions too
19
seriously. But for the past several years the
attitude is a great deal stronger than mild
disdain. In some areas the anti - police feeling
is so prevalent generally that the officer can
expect that at any time it may be expressed in
terms of extreme hostility or outright vio-
lence, even by those not involved in the
situation at hand. And that feeling of resent-
ment is not confined to traditional high crime
areas; it exists in every type of neighborhood
and class of society.
Another contributor to low morale is the
lack of support from the law, as interpreted
by the courts. Officers soon become extreme-
ly frustrated and bitter at seeing cases dis-
missed and guilty persons go free because of
some minor legal technicality that has no
bearing on guilt or innocence. In addition to
all the police training he has had, the field
officer almost needs a law degree to make
sure he conducts investigations and makes
arrests in such a manner as not to give even the
appearance of infringing to the slightest
degree on the rights of the accused, even if it
means the rights of law abiding citizens must
be ignored. Even if he had the law degree,
though, it wouldn't be enough, for court
decisions making it more difficult for an
officer to do his job are being made so fre-
quently that even an attorney would be
pressed to keep up with them. What may have
been legally acceptable for two hundred
years may, at the whim of some judge,
suddenly become taboo.
Just as frustrating is the current tendency
for citizens to file civil law suits against police
officers at the slightest excuse, or for no valid
excuse. This often makes the officer hesitant
to take obviously necessary action, lest he be
named defendant in such a suit. He may be
certain the contemplated action is necessary
and legally justifiable, but he feels that unless
he has concrete proof of that necessity, the
court is likely to believe the plaintiff, and he
may end up losing his life's savings and his
home because of having done his job in the
manner in which he has been trained. The law
makes the judge and the prosecuting attorney
immune from civil responsibility for actions
taken in their official capacities, but the field
officer enjoys no such protection. Further-
more, he may have to make up his mind in
seconds whether or not he should take a
certain action, while judges and attorneys
may deliberate for as long as they like in
deciding whether the officer's action was
right or wrong.
Another factor in job dissatisfaction is what
many officers consider a lack of support, or
even unjustified implied criticism, from the
news media. While it is realized that news
writers must be objective and factual to avoid
accusation of influencing juries or suits
charging defamation of character, they feel
that some writers go to such extremes in that
regard that their stories are actually slanted in
favor of the accused, thus raising doubts in the
minds of readers regarding the integrity of
the arresting officer and the objectivity of his

investigation.
Many officers also feel that the news media
in general are too anxious to sensationalize
and blow up out of proportion any error or
improper action by a police officer, but take
for granted and seldom comment on good
police work.
Because of all these factors, the people of
California are in danger of losing the distinc-
tion• of having the best qualified and most
professional police agencies in the nation. If
the trend is not reversed, we may within a few
years see a return to the situation wherein
well- trained, capable, enthusiastic officers
are in the minority, and most police positions
are filled with those whose primary interest is
job security.
It would be a shame and a tragedy, for law
enforcement and for the citizens of the State,
if that should happen. Next time we see that
cliche, "Support your local police," on a
bumper sticker, let's take it seriously.

CATTLE THEFTS
By DETECTIVE MICHAEL D. PERRY
Background
The history of cattle theft protection in the
western states had its beginning in the 1860's
when small groups called Protective Boards
were formed. It wasn't until 1919 that the
State of California Bureau of Livestock
Identification, Department of Food and
Agriculture, was formed. At that time, there
was only a handful of people to carry out the
function of the Bureau whose task it was to
protect the livestock industry from losses due
to theft or straying.
California cattle ranching is highly im-
portant to the state's economy. Ranked as the
seventh largest cattle producing state in the
nation, California's cattle industry has grown
rapidly over the years. It now spreads from
border to border and is worth many millions
of dollars. Like other industries, the cattle
industry has problems with the criminal
community.
Contrary to popular belief, the cattle thief
did not disappear with the "Old West." More
cattle are being stolen today than ever before.
As an example, in 1971 there were 2,770 head
of cattle reported lost, strayed or stolen. In
1975, the number rose to 3,251. Last year, the
losses amounted to 4,809 which was an in-
crease of 32.4 percent over the previous year
and represented a cash value of $1,880,360.
Because of the failure of many cattle
owners to report their losses, the above
figures are believed to represent only about
half of the actual numbers missing.
Arrests for cattle theft have also risen over
the past several years. In 1971, there were 45
arrested for Grand Theft Cattle. In 1975, there
were 99 arrests, and by 1979 this lowered to 49
arrests.
21
Law enforcement is faced with a modern -
day rustler who not only uses the techniques
of the past to steal cattle, but also the technical
advances that are available, such as helicop-
ters, walkie- talkies, and refrigerated trucks.
To help curb the sale of stolen cattle, the
Brand Inspectors are on duty at slaughter
plants, feed lots, stockyards and sale yards
throughout the state. They check all brands to
insure that cattle being offered for sale or
transportation belong to those doing the
offering.
The Thief And The Victim
Most cattle theft suspects are or have been
associated with the livestock industry. They
are typically present or past employees in the
industry— ranchhands, feed haulers, or live-
stock transporters.
Once the cattle are stolen, the thief must be
able to transport and sell his "take" with a
minimum of risk. The markets used are
usually auction yards, stockyards, slaughter
plants, feed lots, or individual purchasers.
The thieves may be small ranchers strug-
gling to stay in business or perhaps more
affluent ranchers with enough range land to

run the cattle until the "heat is off" and the
new brand has healed.
Another type of thief is one who slaughters
for personal use. He may be the game -
poacher; generally, a hunter who spots a cow,
kills it, and then cuts it up to take home.
There are also many highly organized cattle
theft operations in which more professional
criminals are involved.
Dairy farms report the greatest number of
cattle thefts. The reason for this is the ease
with which day -old calves can be taken. They
are small, easy to handle, and are usually held
in small enclosure pens some distance from a
residence. They are unmarked and almost
impossible to identify. These calves are often
sold in groups of 500 and are worth about $75
each. Many of the thieves who steal calves
from the dairymen are high school or college
students looking for fast money. These calves
can be sold to "backyard" ranchers for as little
as $30 or $40. The rancher may raise them for
his own dinner table.
Next to the dairymen as the most victim-
ized group are the cattlemen who raise beef -
type steers on their ranges. These steers
generally are pastured in large, open areas
and run loose for as long as six months. Sell-
ing for an average of $250 on the market, the
steers are prime targets for the rustler. Range
losses can go as high as 150 head of cattle at
one time. The steers end up reported missing
for a number of reasons —from theft by heli-
copter to a poor tally of steers on the range.
23
Investigation of missing steers is difficult due
to infrequent herd checks and the lack of
evidence to explain the missing cattle.
Brands
The branding of cattle is an ancient art.
Some of the earliest indications that cattle
were branded have been found in the tombs
of Egypt. Pictures showing Egyptians brand-
ing cattle depict methods very much like our
own. It is extraordinary that modern man has
advanced technologically but has never
found anything better than a hot iron to mark
the identity of an animal.
Most cattle brands are three to five inches
across and are read from left to right and from
top to bottom. The brand alphabet begins
with plane geometry in its simplest form. First
is the ordinary line —a short line which may
run crossways, up and down, or at an angle.
The simpler the brand, the easier it is to
alter. Cattle thieves can often change even
what is considered by the cattlemen as a
difficult brand to a completely different one.
As a rule, these illegal brand alterations are
very difficult to spot, especially after the
brand has healed.

As many as six different ranches can own
the same brand design with placement of the
brand used to determine ownership. The
brands are placed on the left hip, rib cage, or
shoulder; or the right hip, rib cage, or
shoulder. If the rancher should happen by
chance to brand other than his designated
spot, the animal could be claimed by someone
else.
In California, there are more than 35,000
different brands —plus out -of -state brands,
such as those from Nevada, which alone
account for more than 6,000, compounding
the problem. The cattle thief often hauls his
stolen cattle many hundreds of miles to dif-
ferent counties or states hoping that some
brand inspector won't become suspicious
when he checks the cattle being processed.
Future Trends
Market values in the cattle industry fluc-
tuate rapidly. High cattle prices early this year
were a strong motivation for increased cattle
thefts. Future escalating cattle prices will
likely bring similar results.
To help stop the cattle thieves, the Bureau
of Livestock Identification has been sched-
uling cattle theft training technique sessions
across the state. The Bureau is stressing par-
ticipation of law enforcement personnel and
cattlemen in these sessions to help build a
better understanding of mutual problems.
The purpose of these meetings is to empha-
size the need for cattle producers to report
thefts promptly and accurately to sheriffs and
brand inspectors.
25
It is also anticipated that this program will
help law enforcement officers to become
more aware of the problems of the cattle-
men. Early indications have shown that
producers are beginning to report their losses
more promplty to brand inspectors and
sheriffs.
Various alternate ways for identifying
cattle are under study. Techniques such as
electronic implants which are hidden under
the hides of the animals provide an efficient
means for monitoring stolen cattle, but will
not prevent an actual theft.
Investigators from the twelve western
states have formed the Western States Live-
stock Identification Association. This associa-
tion has united the investigators and ranchers
so that both can understand the other's
problems more fully. The association has one
seminar every year, plus two local district
meetings. With contacts made through the
association, investigators are better able to
monitor the thief from town to town and state
to state.

Stress And Its Effects On
Law Enforcement
By DETECTIVE JOHN H. BURGE
Coordinator, Psychological Services
The policing occupation has been identi-
fied by the National Institute of Occupational
Safety and Health as the most at -risk occu-
pation in terms of stress - related health prob-
lems. Dr. Hans Selye, the world's foremost
authority on stress, stated that being a law
enforcement officer in today's environment is
one of the most stressful jobs in the United
States. When statistics of occupational stress -
related problems are examined, law enforce-
ment ranks as one of the most severely
affected. Take, for example, the fact that
divorce rates in some departments range as
high as 82 %; police have one of the highest
rates of suicide when compared against other
occupations. Police officer deaths, as a group,
rank above all other occupations in terms of
coronary heart disease, diabetes, ulcers, and
suicide.
What is it about the law enforcement oc-
cupation that creates such a stressful existence
for those men and women who have dedi-
cated themselves to serving their community?
Before this question can be thoroughly
answered, it is necessary to examine several
pertinent factors. First, stress, as it applies to
the police, may be defined as any tensions or
burdens, real or perceived, that adversely
affect the psych ophysiological state of the
officer. From this definition, it is easy to
observe that everyone, regardless of occupa-
tional choice, may, at some point, suffer the
adverse effects of stress. Today's world has
become an endless cycle of tension, frustra-
tion, and unequaled cultural pollution that has
slowly had a deteriorating effect, not only
upon the quality of life, but, more important-
27
ly, upon the very meaning of life itself. Today,
too much of life is consumed with meaning-
less violent reactions, corruption within every
level of society, a sense of unrestricted free-
dom without regard for others, and an
apathetic belief that the problems which exist
will be corrected by the other guy.
That "other guy" is too often the officer.
For it is the lave enforcement profession,
unlike any other profession, that exists today
that must continuously deal with all the ills of
society, on a daily basis.
The second major factor involves the
nature of stress itself. The concept of stress
revolves around the ability of the individual to
adapt, psychologically and physiologically, to
his surrounding environment. The two vari-
ables that directly affect this and determine
the stressfulness of the adaptation process are
the intensity and demand brought about
because of this metamorphic state.
For the law enforcement officer, both his
environment and the demand and intensity
for adaptation within his surroundings, are
causative factors for the high rates of stress -
related disorders.
If we take an average individual who
desires to work in law enforcement, it is found
that he tends to have a higher I.Q. than the
general population; he tends to hold more
traditional middle -class values; he tends to be
more mature and present a more stable
personality; and, his motives for his career
choice usually include the desire to serve his
community, job security, good pay and
benefits, and the changing routine that is
commonplace within the police world. Take
this same average individual, give him good
training, and then put hire on the streets as a
working officer. What begins to occur, in
most cases, is the officer is slowly exposed to a
side of life that the average citizen is never
faced with. The officer sees people at their
best and at their worst. He observes the
violent and destructive interaction between
individuals and is often the target of such
attack himself. The officer attempts to serve
his community, but is constantly berated,
hated, and considered an enemy of the people
he serves.
Through all of this, the officer must attempt
to adapt and maintain a sense of duty that is
unequaled in any other profession. The
officer who has responsiblity for the lives of
the people he serves and who, at times, is
under intense pressure from every direction,
may, after a time, develop specific stress -
related disorders that, if left unresolved, may
result in the death of the officer. Because

officers face this unique brand of stress, no
law enforcement agency is without problems
brought about by the stressful nature of the
policing occupation.
In the early 1970's, several large police
agencies recognized the need to provide
psychological services to officers and their
families. It was believed that if a means to
assist officers and their families were devel-
oped, it would help alleviate stress - related
problems created by the job. In providing
these services to all officers, it was believed
that if the officers' problems could be
resolved, their job performance would in-
crease, disability retirements due to stress -
related factors would decrease, and other
stress - related factors would be positively
affected —the final result being happier of-
ficers more capable of performing their
duties, and a cost savings to the local
government.

recognizing these factors, began in 1974 to
provide several services to officers on a
voluntary basis. The Sheriff's Department,
through the services of a Master Social
Worker who was a licensed therapist, began
offering free counseling for officers and their
spouses. During this time, a Spouses Orienta-
tion Program was introduced to give the
spouses of officers an opportunity to observe
their husbands' work environment and the
problems they encountered. The program
included tours of the Jail and Communica-
tions Center, firearms familiarization train-
ing, department organization, and a chance to
meet the Sheriff and his staff.
Between 1974 and 1976, these services were
utilized by many officers. During this time,
work began to develop a complete psycho-
logical services program for the department.
This program was based on several projects
completed by the author between 1976 and
1978. During this time period, it was found

that the department's turnover rate had in-
creased significantly, and many stress - related
problems began to appear. It was also found
that once such a program could be fully
implemented, the County could realize a cost
savings of at least $500,000 over the first three
years of the program, above program costs.
During 1978, the Sheriff's Department be-
came the first Valley agency to establish an
approved Advanced Academy for its officers.
During this time, the author taught officers an
instructional block dealing with basic ele-
ments of law enforcement stress, its effects,
and stress - reduction methods. Because of the
success of this class, a second class was given
that dealt with advanced elements of law
enforcement stress. Because of these classes,
many officers were assisted in developing
stress - reduction methods that they applied to
their lifestyle. Additionally, officers, for the
first time, began to speak out regarding the
specific stressors (those elements of the job

that create stress) that created the greatest
amount of stress for them. From this, a fairly
complete picture of the problems the officers
were incurring was developed.
In 1978, the Sheriff's Department lost the
services of our in -house therapist due to the
cutbacks that Proposition 13 would bring
about. It is also interesting to note that during
1978, the Sheriff's Department had its highest
rate of turnover. At this time, the author set up
a voluntary, free, referral system, in which
several local psychologists participated. This
was necessary to fill the gap left when the
department's therapist was no longer avail-
able on a free, confidential basis.
In 1978, a proposal for retaining a full -time
psychologist for the department and the final
draft of the proposed program were present-
ed to Sheriff Harold McKinney. Upon his
approval, the author began to examine alter-
native sources of funding. The first step was
to apply for a Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration (LEAH) grant. With the assist-
ance of Tom Hoffman, Data Processing
Coordinator for the Sheriff's Department,
necessary data was gathered to support the
grant. Upon presenting this proposal to the
local LEAA Committee, it was felt by the
Committee that the program was badly
needed and would provide the level of ser-
vices: necessary. Unfortunately, the Commit-
tee felt that funding programs for jail inmates
and social services agencies, which were not
related to law enforcement in any way, were
more important than assisting men and
women who daily laid their very lives on the
line to protect our community.
Several additional sources of funding were
discussed with County officials, but the
County, at that time, was unwilling to support
the program. In August of 1979, the author,
working through the Fresno Deputy Sheriffs'
Association, discussed the problem with the
Board of Supervisors. It was agreed that
Fresno County would implement the pro-
gram and hire a full -time psychologist for the
department.
31
With the implementation of the Psycho-
logical Services Program, the Sheriff's De-
partment and Fresno County have come to
recognize the need to provide their officers
with a unique service. A law enforcement
officer today can no longer be expected to
withstand all of the adverse effects of our
environmental and societal position without
professional assistance available to them in
time of need.
Since 1974, many officers, their spouses and
children have availed themselves of psycho-
logical services that we have tried to provide.
Because of these services, officers' marriages
have been saved; deep rooted, personal
problems developed because of the job have
been resolved; and officers have been trained
to recognize the nature and effects of stress
and methods of stress- reduction that can be
used to reduce or eliminate occupational
stresses. The program is dedicated to serv-
icing the needs of the officer and his family.
For when the officer is better able to deal with
his work environment and the stressful effects
it has on the family, the officer's performance
is improved, and the officer is more capable
of providing the professional service to which
he has dedicated his life.
The effects of stress in the policing pro-
fession can never be totally eradicated, but
they can be reduced to acceptable levels.
With this in mind, this article is dedicated to
the deputies of this department who work 24
hours a day, 365 days a year, to provide the
citizens of this county with one of the finest
law enforcement agencies in California.

The Case Of The Disillusioned
Prosecutor
Late in 1978 Deputy District Attorney
Douglas Bruce of Los Angeles County de-
cided he'd had enough of the inconsistencies
and ineffectiveness of the criminal justice
system. He wrote a letter to his boss, District
Attorney John K. Van De Kamp, in which he
graphically and explicitly explained the rea-
son for his decision to resign. Excerpts from
that letter were printed on the editorial page
of the Los Angeles Times, as follows:
"Dear Mr. Van De Kamp:
Five and one -half years ago today, I was
sworn in as a deputy district attorney. Rep-
resenting the public in criminal proceedings
was to be my life's work, not just a chance to
acquire quick trial experience.
In the 66 months that followed, I have not
had a change of heart, just a loss of hope.
Therefore, I am resigning as of Jan. 20.
The criminal- justice system is now so far
gone, so paralyzed, that radical rehabilitation
will have to be imposed by the same outraged
electorate that enacted Proposition 13.
The decline is traced most clearly in the
spirit of lawlessness prevalent in the appellate
courts of California.
Precedent means nothing to them. In re-
cently re- defining legal insanity (effective
retroactively), a bare majority of our Su-
preme Court discarded both a centuries -old
rule and its own recent opinions.
The will of the Legislature means nothing to
them. A clear -cut law requiring that persons
who use a gun while committing a major
felony be sentenced to prison has also been
tossed aside.
The will of the people means nothing to
`them. Polls, statutes and initiatives have all
37
shown an overwhelming public demand for a
death - penalty law. But a majority of our
Supreme Court personally disagrees with that
conclusion and we all know the current law
will be struck down on fabricated constitu-
tional grounds, as others have been twice
before.
Although the Legislature has attempted a
few scattered reforms, many of which were
later rejected by the courts, it likewise has
failed to reflect fully the public concern with
the arbitrariness of criminal proceedings.
Right now, a person convicted of first- degree
murder is not required by lave to spend one
hour in jail, but another who steals $51 worth
of olives (specified as a felony under our
Penal Code) could serve three years.
No legislative alternative to the exclusion-
ary rule has been adopted since the appellate
courts first formulated it many years ago.
Thousands of cases are dropped annually
because one or more judges during the entire
course of a criminal proceeding might opine
that the cop on the beat did not catch the
defendant in exact accordance with every
detailed rule ever formulated in several
hundred thousand pages of court opinions.
This exclusion of evidence occurs even
though the meaning and application of these
rules is the subject of differing interpretations
by the judges themselves.
Nor is there any law preventing a judge
from continuing a case repeatedly and in-
definitely at the request of the defendant and
to the detriment of our position and the
inconvenience of the witnesses.
So we get active hostility from the higher
courts and general indifference from the

Legislature. The (leek is stacked against us.
Unfortunately, our office has not even played
well the cards we were dealt.
The strongest of these is publicity. If judges
were forced to be accountable to the tax-
payers for what happens in their courtrooms,
we would not see what now occurs all too
often: two -hour lunches breaking up five -
hour days, millions of dollars worth of over-
time for police officers waiting to testify, and
supposedly public proceedings being held in
off-the-record whispers at the bench or in
chambers. These huddles nearly always in-
volve a defendant's attempt to get an easy
sentence without embarrassing the judge into
showing to the world the meager reasons for
his leniency. If our office refused to partici-
pate, this secretiveness would stop.
Your office policy ... makes it ... difficult
for prosecutors to exercise their legal right to
disqualify a given judge from hearing a
criminal matter, regardless of how inade-
quate the judge may be. The defense attor-
neys certainly do not hesitate to help their
clients by using this affidavit power, which
allows them to automatically remove a strong
judge from their case in an attempt to have the
case transferred to a more sympathetic one.
Trial judges have freely acknowledged to me
that they are more concerned with placating
defense attorneys, who can and do remove
judges from hearing cases, than prosecutors,
who can but don't.
Finally, it is also time we stopped giving
criminal defendants inducements to plead
guilty, either by reducing provable charges or
placing upper limits on possible sentences. It's
bad enough when judges try to clear their
calendars by promising light sentences in
exchange for pleas of guilty; ours should be a
higher concern.
Your office policy may have banned most
sentence- bargaining in theory, but nothing
has changed in practice, and individual
prosecutors cannot make the change because
their colleagues still continue in this insidious
practice which comforts the guilty while it
coerces the innocent.
Some will argue that the proper handling of
criminal cases may cause an increase in the
workload, but that should be more than offset
by a reduction in costly continuances and
repeat offenses. Besides, we seem to have
forgotten that the judicial system's reason for
existence is not to perpetuate or protect itself,
but to strive for justice.

cepting money under false pretenses because
we are not aIloNved to effectively represent
the people of California. I wanted this job
because of my belief in the basic principles
that are supposed to be the foundation of the
criminal- justice system. It is that same belief
that now requires my resignation.
Douglas Bruce"
N11e wrote to the Times for permission to
reprint the letter, and our request was for -
,iA,arded to Mr. Bruce. He subsequently tele-
phoned and enthusiasticall}% endorsed our
plan. He also mentioned that he is still deeply
concerned about the shortcomings of the
criminal justice system; so much so that he
wants to personally try to effect some needed
changes. He is a candidate for the Assembly
seat being vacated by Assemblyman Paul
Priolo of the 38th District, comprising por-
tions of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
Obviously, we need legislators with such a
clear -cut understanding of the inequities and
weaknesses of the criminal justice system, and
with such a strong, common sense, law and
order philosophy. Sheriff's Review readers
who may have friends or relatives living in his
district are urged to contact them, explain Mr.
Bruce's platform, suggest they contact him or
his campaign headquarters for more infor-
mation, and then, if they decide to vote for
him, to also speak a word in his behalf to other
voters in the district.

Not For Every Woman
By TERI SCOTT
This spring, as has happened every spring
for the past several years, hundreds of young
ladies about to finish high school will attend
career day programs, where representatives
of various professions and occupations will
tell of the advantages and disadvantages of
their respective lines of work. In many groups
of counselors there will be a female law
enforcement officer, who will paint a glowing
picture of the opportunities for women in her
field. She'll mention the good salary, the
interesting activities, the feeling of fulfill-
ment, and may imply that the job is a contin-
ual round of glamour and excitement. She
almost certainly will emphasize the theory
that a woman can do any law enforcement job
as well as a man.
Because her description will appear to
confirm what they have seen on television,
many young women will immediately decide
on law enforcement as a career, and will begin
to make preparations toward that goal. Many
of them will eventually be sorely disillu-
sioned. For, while there is a place for women
in law enforcement, it is not a job for every
woman.
In the first place, the opportunities may be
exaggerated. Many departments, even those
who have willingly hired women, still have
just a token number; perhaps one or two per
cent of the entire force. And that situation isn't
likely to shove any significant improvement in
the foreseeable future, unless the Supreme
Court should decide that each department
49
must employ an equal number of men and
women, or at least have a much larger per-
centage of women. That isn't likely to happen.
If the court sticks to the theory that men and
women are to be treated equally in hiring
policy, then women will always be competing
against men, and most department heads
prefer male officers, except for specialized
duties.
Their reason is valid. In spite of claims to
the contrary, there are many police jobs the
average woman can't do as well as the average
man, simply because of the difference in
physical strength. There is some validity to
the theory that in many potentially violent
situations, the female officer may be able to
accomplish more with tact and diplomacy
than can a male by more forceful methods.
There is also some truth in the claim that many
potentially violent men will calm down and
be gentlemen when a female officer appears.
But there's no guarantee that either of those
things will happen, and suppose they don't.
The female officer may then find herself in an
extremely hazardous situation, and may be
seriously injured, when, in the same situation,
a man would have been able to effect an arrest
without injury to himself or the person arrest-
ed. The standard answer to that argument is
that many men wouldn't be able to handle
such a situation. That's true, but such men
don't belong in law enforcement, either. In
spite of the accusations that weight and height
requirements discriminated against certain
minorities, there was a good reason for them,
and there have been enough unfortunate
incidents since the courts outlawed such re-
quirements, involving male officers who
simply weren't big and strong enough to cope
with the demands of police work, to prove
their validity.
But suppose a woman does manage to land
a job with a police or sheriff's department?
What happens next? First, no matter how
much college training she has had in police
related subjects, unless it included a formal
police academy, she will have to attend such
an academy. That means for three or four
months she will undergo a concentrated pro-
gram including classroom lectures on law, the
criminal justice system, patrol procedures,
investigative techniques, human relations,
and various other matters which are all a part
of police work. There'll be field problems,
instruction and practice in the use of firearms
and other weapons, how to subdue an

opponent or defend oneself without weap-
ons, and physical conditioning training. Some
departments operate their academies on a so-
called stress system, wherein the instructors
deliberately keep the students under extreme
and constant pressure. It is said that this is
designed to separate the men from the boys,
and it can certainly separate the women from
the girls, or from the men. Periodically
throughout the course there are written
examinations, and a comprehensive final test
at the end. The questions and problems aren't
easy, and if one ends tip with just a barely
passing grade, he or she isn't considered to
have much of a future in law enforcement.
When a woman successfully completes the
academy, and reports to her department for
assignment, she won't immediately begin to
emulate Angie Dickinson in Police Story. Her
initial assignment will depend upon the size of
the department, where the vacancies lie, and
the philosophy of the chief or sheriff. If the

department operates a jail, and uses regular
officers as jailers, she may spend several
years, or perhaps her whole career, working
in that capacity. While it is a necessary and
important duty, and can be challenging and at
times interesting and rewarding, it is not at all
glamorous. An entire book could be written
on the variety and unpleasantness of jail
duties, but among the more distasteful are the
chance of being spit upon or even more
violently attacked by a belligerent drunk,
trying to subdue and calm someone who is
literally a raving maniac because of drugs,
and searching the person of an intoxicated
person who has urinated or defecated in her
clothing.
Women have traditionally been assigned to
juvenile investigations and counseling, and
that is one field wherein their superiority over
men is not questioned, particularly in dealing
with girls and very young boys. If the depart-
ment is big enough to have a full time juvenile

unit, and a vacancy exists, chances are good
that a f emale corning into the department will
eventually be assigned there. That is con-
sidered much better than jail duty, but even it
is something not every woman can do well
and be happy while doing it.
If no vacancy exists in a traditional female
assignment, and the chief or sheriff is of the
old school which feels that women have no
place in less specialized law enforcement, the
female rookie may find herself doing nothing
but clerical work, such as typing and filing
investigative reports, serving as a reception-
ist, or classifying fingerprints. If the depart-
ment head has an open mind, she may be
assigned to patrol duty, where after a period
of on- the -job orientation, she will be expected
to perform in the same manner and to the
same degree of proficiency as her male fellow
officers. Or, if the boss is resentful of women's
invasion of a previously all -male domain, he
may deliberately see that she is assigned to

jobs even more hazardous and unplt•asant
than those usually given to new male officers.
to prove to her that she doesn't belong. This is
not to say that such treatment is prevalent, or
even common, but no doubt it does happen.
The next problem the new female officer
will have to face is acceptance —by her
immediate superiors, her fellow officers, and
the public. Like the department head, the
watch commander or field sergeant will
follow one of three courses of action. He will
be overly protective and very selective in the
type of cases he assigns to her, which, even if
she is capable of handling general police duty
as well as a man, certainly won't give her a
chance to prove it. Or, he, too, may be in-
clined to make things a bit rough for her to see
if she can take it. There is a possibility, but not
a very good one, that her immediate superiors
will adopt a completely objective attitude,
and treat her the same as they would a male
rookie.
Acceptance by male fellow officers will be
quite varied, with none of the varieties being a
warm welcome. Some men will feel threat-
ened by her presence, for the male macho
image isn't particularly enhanced by a woman
doing the same job. Some will be friendly but
patronizing; others rude and resentful. Some,
while fair minded enough to concede that she
has a right to prove herself, will worry about
possible increased hazards for themselves if
they should get into a situation where help is
desperately needed, and a female officer is
sent to assist. Still others may find themselves
neglecting their own beats and investigations
to voluntarily watch over her. And, of course,
some will regard her as a potential romantic
conquest, assuming that any woman anxious
to work so closely with a group of men must
be more interested in the men than in the job.
Public acceptance can range all the way
from an enthusiastic welcome to failure to
take the female officer seriously to outright
resentment. Among some citizens «pith whorn
the female officer has official contact, she
may be hailed as a heroine. A macho type
male may be glad of an opportunity to discuss
a police problem with a woman in a trim uni-
form, but he may not really expect that she
will know what to do with the information he
gives her. And some citizens who still think
the woman's place is in the home, or no far-
ther out of it than the store or the office, may
be openly hostile toward a female officer sent
to listen to their problems, and may even
refuse to talk to her.
No matter what her assignment, one of the
first things the new officer, male or female,
will notice about the job is its lack of excite-
ment of the type portrayed in movie and
television police stories. A patrol officer may
work for days and do nothing more exciting
than arbitrate a husband -wife argument or a
quarrel between neighbors over some trivial
matter. A detective spends much more time in
routine leg work, tracking down witnesses,
perusing criminal history records, building a
case by piecing together bits of seemingly
insignificant evidence, than in high speed
chases, interviewing glamorous witnesses, or
finding the one major, exotic clue that no one
else had even thought of looking for, thus
proving his or her genius.
In spite of the shortage of glamour and
excitement, however, there is a constant
threat of physical danger, particularly for the
patrol officer. While the potentially hazard-
ous and deadly situations don't become
realities often, they're always present. A
patrol officer can never be sure he won't be
shot by a motorist he has stopped for a minor
traffic violation. Bar fights and family quar-
rels are potentially more dangerous, usually,
than searching for and arresting a murderer or
rapist. The jail officer never dares turn his
back on a prisoner, for no matter how strict
the security measures in any custodial insti-
tution, inmates always can find means to
obtain or manufacture deadly weapons.
Detectives are constantly threatened by those
they help convict and send to prison, and one
never knows when one of those doing the
threatening really means it.

Then there's the matter of the type of
people with whom the officer must associate.
While it is not true that decent people never
need police assistance, it is true that the
majority of the time an officer is dealing with
those on the lower end of the socio- economic
scale, and those with low or non - existent
moral standards. That can become quite
depressing after a while, and it becomes more
and more difficult to remember that most
citizens are law- abiding and decent.
Not the least of the disadvantages of police
work is the constant frustration; seeing crimi-
nals whose guilt is beyond doubt set free on
some legal technicality; those previously
convicted and seemingly on the straight and
narrow path suddenly returning to a life of
crime; so many crimes being committed that
it is impossible to investigate them properly.
All in all, police work is a rough occupation,
and is more hazardous to the personality than
to the body. It is devastating to men; even the
most sensitive and intelligent man may, if he
isn't careful, find himself becoming cynical
and hard, in some cases almost seeming to
adopt the attitudes and values of his clientele.
It can be even more damaging to the
personality of a woman, particularly if she still
values the traditional feminine traits of ten-
derness, grace, and modesty. She may find

herself using language which before becom-
ing a cop she'd have considered shocking; she
may unconsciously adopt habits and attitudes
to make herself more like the male officers
with whom she works, and thus more accept-
able to them.
This is not to say that a woman can't follow
a career in law enforcement, and still main-
tain her sensitivity, her femininity, and her
status as a lady. Many female officers manage
quite well. But those qualities are placed in
dire jeopardy by the very nature of police
work, and any woman planning such a career
should give that factor some serious thought.
Many well qualified women have tried law
enforcement and been able to cope with the
requirements of the job itself, but have de-
cided the advantages weren't worth the po-
tential damage to the personality, and have
given it up to return to less glamorous, and in
most cases less lucrative, fields of endeavor,
They weren't quitters; they were merely using
common sense, and doing what they con-
sidered best for them. But they wasted a lot of
time and effort preparing for and finding out
that law enforcement wasn't their cup of tea;
time and effort that could have been saved
had someone taken the trouble beforehand to
inform there of the potential disadvantages of
law enforcement as well as of the advantages.

How Safe Is Our Community?
Some Facts That Will Contribute
To Your Peace Of Mind
There has been a great deal of news media
coverage in recent months concerning the
number of murders committed in the Fresno
area. The crime of rape has, over the past
several years, received even more media at-
tention, with much speculation as to whether
there has been a drastic increase in such
crimes, or that more of them are now being
reported. Because the news stories are based
on indisputable statistics, one could conclude
that the average citizen puts his or her per-
sonal safety in jeopardy each time he or she
leaves home, and that safety can't be counted
on even inside the home.
But the criteria by which the degree of
danger must be judged are not the number of
persons murdered or raped, but who the
victims were, and why they became victims
of violent crimes. In other words, how many
murder and /or rape victims were innocent
citizens going about their daily affairs and
minding their own business, and how many
actually contributed to their becoming vic-
tims by their own actions and associations, or
carelessly and needlessly putting themselves
in a position where their chances of being
murdered or raped were greatly enhanced. In
an attempt to answer that question, we an-
alyzed the murder and rape cases investigated
by the Fresno County Sheriff's Department in
1979.
The circumstances leading to the twenty -
six murder cases were as follows.
A. A young man, intoxicated from sniffing
glue or paint, which he did habitually, was
killed in a fight with his brother, who was
trying to take him home from a bar.
67
B. A teen -age girl riding in the back of a
pickup truck was thrown out and killed when
the driver, a young man she knew .vell, de-
liberately tried to turn the truck over to vent
his anger and frustration resulting from a fight
he'd had with another young man earlier in
the evening.
C. A young farm laborer was killed by
acquaintances with whom he had spent the
evening drinking, and with whom he had
previously had some trouble.
D. The body of a narcotics dealer from
Stanislaus County was found in the San Joa-
quin River. Subsequent investigation re-
vealed that a few days before his disappear-
ance he'd mentioned to his wife that on
several occasions he'd noticed a certain auto-
mobile following him. This led detectives to
believe that the killer was probably a rival
drug dealer, a robber who knew that because
of his extensive drug operations he was likely
to be carrying a large amount of money, or a
customer who felt he had been cheated.
E. The body of a prostitute was found in a
fig orchard. She was known to have frequent-
ed low -class bars and to associate with men of
questionable character.
F. A young man was fatally stabbed by
another young man with whom he'd quar-
reled over the attentions of a young woman.
G. A young man walking by an outdoor
beer party exchanged obscenities with some
of the people at the party. They followed him
out into the country, and shot him as he left his
car and tried to run away.
11. A farm laborer killed another in a quar-
rel over a card game at a labor camp.

I. The body of a young man who was
known to use drugs and hang around with a
rough crowd was found in a vineyard after an
evening of drinking and drug use with his
friends.
J. A middle -aged woman was shot by her
married former lover when she rejected his
attempts to renew their relationship.
K. A young adult male was killed by his
father in a family quarrel after the younger
man got drunk and threatened the rest of the
family.
L. A young woman was shot by the man
she'd been living with because she had gone
out with other men.
M. A farm laborer agreed to purchase beer
for a group of juveniles. Enroute to the store
they somehow learned he was carrying a great
deal of money, and decided to rob him. In the
process they fatally stabbed him.

N. The body of a big -time drug dealer was
found in the Kings River, after he'd been
missing for several weeks. On the night he
disappeared he had told the woman he lived
with that he was going to collect $6,000 some-
one owed him.
O. Another drug dealer was apparently
killed by rivals or associates, with robbery or
revenge as the motive.
P. A farm laborer was robbed and mur-
dered while passed out drunk in a motel
parking lot.
Q. An elderly man living alone in a foothill
community was robbed and murdered by a
recently paroled convict who forced his way
into the victim's house.
R. An elderly man was forced or enticed
from his automobile and robbed and mur-
dered while driving late at night in a high
crime rate area.

It is apparent that in very few of these cases
did the victims not contribute in some way to
the tragedy, either by deliberate actions or by
carelessness.
In case B, the young woman thrown from
the pickup truck was not the object of the
driver's anger, and she certainly had no reason
to believe he would resort to such a drastic
action to relieve his emotional stress. Actually,
her death could be classed as an accident,
because there was no intent on the driver's
part to harm her personally. However, be-
cause his action was deliberate, it was tech-
nically a murder.
In case Q, there apparently was nothing the
old man living alone could have done to pre-
vent what happened to him. The murderer
was accompanied by another young man, and
they would have been able to force their way
into his residence, regardless of any security
precautions he might have used, and to over-
come any resistance. If there is anyone to

blame other than the killer himself, it is the
parole officials for releasing him from prison.
The young girl in case Y was also entirely
innocent of any contributory negligence.
However, it is obvious that her mother was an
extremely poor judge of character, or she
wouldn't have married the man and thus
placed her daughter in a situation where it
could happen.
On the surface, it would appear that the
victim in case R, the elderly man killed while
driving alone in a rough neighborhood late at
night, was not negligent in any way. He
apparently was driving along a public thor-
oughfare minding his own business when he
was accosted. But even in his case, the errand
on which he had left home certainly didn't
justify the risk of driving around late at night,
even if all one had to worry about was being
hit by a drunk driver enroute home from a
bar. He and his wife had gone grocery
shopping earlier in the evening, and he was on

his way to an all -night market to pick up a few
things they had forgotten.
In the discussion of case Y, we mentioned
the lack of ability on the part of the victim's
mother to judge character. That same trait is
what gets most rape victims into situations
where that crime is likely to happen, as in-
dicated by analysis of the 47 rape cases inves-
tigated by the Detective Division last year.
Because the list is so long, and fraught with
repetition, we won't list each one separately as
we did for murder cases. Instead, they are
broken down into categories, as follows.
Category I— Victim raped by a stranger she
met and drank with in a bar, at a dance, or
similar public place, and whore she willingly
accompanied to some other location. Number
of cases: 10.
Category II— Victim raped by a stranger
from whom she willingly accepted a ride
while walking or hitchhiking. Number of
cases: 11.

Category III — Victim raped while willing-
ly and for apparent good reason in the
company of an acquaintance, relative, or
friend who presumably should have been
worthy of trust. Number of cases: 11.
Category IV— Victim raped by someone
who stopped to offer help when she had car
trouble while driving alone at night. Number
of cases: 2.
Category V— Mentally retarded person or
young juvenile allowed, due to inadequate
supervision, to get into a situation where rape
could easily happen. Number of cases: 5.
Category VI— Victim raped while willing-
ly and avoidably putting herself in a high -risk
situation, such as walking alone on a deserted
street late at night. Number of cases: 4.
Category VII— Victim raped while en-
gaging in a normal activity and guilty of no
willful negligence that contributed to the
attack. Number of cases: 4.

The circumstances of the four cases in
category VII were as follows:
1. A clerk in an all -night convenience store
in a somewhat isolated suburban area was
forced into a back room and attacked by a
man whose original intent had probably
included robbery only, but who changed his
mind when he realized she xvas alone.
2. An elderly woman living alone was at-
tacked by a young man who came to her door,
claimed he was having trouble with his motor-
cycle, and asked if he could use her phone.
When she suggested he go to a neighbor's, he
broke into her house and raped her.
3. A young woman was raped by three men
who forced her car off the road and dragged
her out through the unlocked passenger side
door.
4. A housewife at home alone in the daytime
was attacked by an intruder who entered
through an unlocked door.
Given the circumstances that prevailed at
the time of the attack, there was little any of
these victims could have done to protect
themselves. However, eases 3 and 4 might not
have happened had the car door and the doors
to the residence been locked. As for case
number 1, the risk of an attack of this nature is
one of the things a woman must consider
before she takes a job that requires her to
work in such a vulnerable situation. And even
the elderly woman might have been saved
from attack nad she had an arrangement with

the neighbors that they come to check on her
if they see a stranger on the premises.
This can't be considered an in -depth study;
to make one of that scope we would have to
analyze murder and rape cases in other com-
munities of similar size and characteristics to
see how their risk factor compares with ours.
Furthermore, our survey does not include
cases investigated by the Fresno Police De-
partment or any of the other city police
departments within the county. However, it is
doubtful that there would be any appreciable
discrepancy in percentages if all police de-
partment cases were included, for all the
factors leading to these two crimes are simi-
lar, whether they occur inside or outside an
incorporated city.
What our study does seem to indicate is that
the average law- abiding citizen of Fresno
County is not in nearly as much danger of
being murdered or raped as the news stories
seemed to imply. That is not to say it won't
happen to any one of us, no matter how care-
ful we are or how extensive are the precau-
tions we take. But if we're careful in choosing
our leisure activities and associates, follow

effort to get along with our neighbors, and use
common sense in planning and carrying out
our daily activities, our chances of not
becoming a statistic such as those listed in this
article are very good.
It's too bad we must keep our doors locked
even when we're home in the daytime; that
we can't drive or walk through certain neigh-
borhoods at night, or perhaps not even in the
daytime; that we can't accept a ride from a
stranger, or pick up a hitchhiker no matter
how pitiful he or she may look; that we can't
let strangers into our homes to use the
telephone or for any other apparently valid
reason, regardless of the seeming sincerity of
their stories; that we may not be able to com-
pletely trust some persons we've been
friendly with for years. But these are incon-
veniences we can live with. Living with them
is better than dying, or living a lifetime of
regret, because we ignored them.

Justice is wina
(and sometimes stupid)
The figure representing justice is tradi-
tionally shown with the eyes covered, to
emphasize that, in exercising judgment, she
considers only the relevant facts, and is not
confused, distracted, or influenced by the
personal appearance or identity of the per-
sons involved. But we sometimes wonder if
eyesight is the only sense not being used. The
thought has often occurred to us that someone
should establish an annual award for the most
asinine court decision of the year, similar to
the "Golden Fleece Award" given by Senator
Proxmire for the most blatant waste of tax
funds. The temptation is strong to suggest that
it be called the "Birdbrain Award," but that
could be construed as a personal attack on our
esteemed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of the State of California. So we'd have to
settle for a more mundane title, perhaps
simply the "INjustice Award," the "Judicial
Boo -Boo of the Year," or -The Lopsided
Gavel."
NVhatever the name, a strong contender for
such an award for 1979 would certainly be the
ruling that parents have no right to permit the
police to search the room of a minor child
living at home, and presumably under their
care, custody, and control.

The facts of the case, as reported by the
news media,` are as follows. The mother of a
seventeen- year -old boy found in his room a
considerable quantity of marijuana, and evi-
dence that he was not only a user, but also a
dealer. She notified the police and requested
an investigation. When the officers arrived at
the home the boy was outside working on his
motorcycle. The officers entered the house at
the invitation of the parents, and, with the
father's express permission, searched the
boy's room. With evidence thus obtained, he
was arrested and charged, and later was con-
victed in juvenile court. Ile filed an appeal on
the grounds that because he himself had not
given permission for the search, it had been an
invasion of his privacy and a violation of his
rights; that therefore the search and seizure
had been illegal, and the evidence thus ob-
tained could not be used against him. The
conviction was upheld by the Appellate
Court, but when the appeal was heard by the
California Supreme Court, that august body
agreed with the youngster's contention and
ordered the conviction reversed.
The irony in the situation is that in addition
to stretching the provisions of the Fourth
Amendment to absurd lengths, the Court is

also acting contrary to the basic principle of
juvenile law in California. The theory of that
law is that the purpose of juvenile justice
proceedings is not to punish, but to educate;
that whatever sentence, or treatment, is
imposed is intended to prevent the youngster
from becoming a criminal rather than punish-
ing him for already being one. The underlying
premise is that even though a minor may have
committed a serious crime, at such a tender
age he is likely to be more receptive to
guidance that would an adult, and that such
treatment will be more conducive to rehabili-
tation than would punishment per se. Only in
recent years have the courts insisted on in-
terpreting laws pertaining to juveniles by the
same standards as those used for adults.
Whatever course of action appeared to be in
the best interests of the offending juvenile was
acceptable. The idea is graphically illustrated
by the difference in wording between a
juvenile court petition and a criminal com-

plaint filed against an adult. The petition is
headed, "The People of California on behalf
of 1 1 while the complaint begins,
"The People of California against "
In this particular case, it obviously was not
in the best interests of the youngster's future to
set him free on such a technicality, when there
was no question regarding his guilt. Had the
conviction been allowed to stand, and the
youngster thus been given the benefit of pro-
fessional counseling and guidance, along with
a positive reminder that his parents still have
authority over hilts, he might have grown up
into a law abiding citizen. We're not saying
that he still won't, but if he does, it will be in
spite of the intervention of the criminal justice
system, and not because of it. All he really
learned was that parental authority is not
respected by the court, and that no matter
what a person does, there is likely to be some
technicality of law that will permit .him to
escape responsibility.

With Proposition 13 having a continually
increasing adverse impact on Department
operations, the role of the auxiliary units be-
comes correspondingly more vital. We used
to think we couldn't function adequately with-
out them; now we know we couldn't. The peo-
ple of Fresno County owe a vote of thanks to
these civic - minded and public- spirited men

History of the Selma Reserve Unit
By Caroline Butcher
In 1974 the need for a reserve deputy sheriff
unit in the Selma area became readily ap-
parent. Reserve coordinator Sgt. G. Lawless
contacted "Woody" Andrade (Selma) and
Jake Tiger (Selma) from the Metropolitan
reserve unit, and with their help began the
procedure of starting a new reserve unit.
Vernon Alt, then a newspaper editor and a
Fowler Police Department reserve officer,
and Clark Huddspeth, a retired deputy con-
stable from the Fowler area, got in on the
groundwork.
Ads in the local newspapers turned up
several responses, and the Selma unit started
with about eight men.
Qualifications at that time were that the
applicant be over 21 years of age, have no
criminal record, and have a strong and real
desire to do the work. (P.C. 832, Firearms and
Arrest Procedures, did not have an effect until
a later time.) Reserve officers worked with
the regular deputies to supplement the patrol
force and also worked at the steadily increas-
ing numbers of special details for local schools
and for the private sector.
The number of officers in the unit has fluc-
tuated over the years from a low of five to a
high of 25. Presently there are 15 officers in
the unit, and several applications are pending.
In the six years since the formation of the unit,
15 officers have gone into full time law en-
forcement.
Qualifications have changed a bit. In ad-
dition to the original three, P.C. 832 is now a
must, and completion of a P.O.S.T. Reserve

Academy (200 classroom hours of training in
laws and procedures) and 200 hours of super-
vised patrol are needed to qualify for the title
of Level I Reserve. Training is done on a
monthly basis, and all records are kept ac-
cording to P.O.S.T. standards. Background
checks are done like those of a regular deputy.
Desire still plays a big role for the reserve
deputy. Issued only a badge and an LD. card,
the reserve in turn furnishes a complete uni-
form, leathers, a weapon, a baton, and a
minimum of 200 hours per year.
In 1979 the Selma unit worked 2,800 hours
of volunteer patrol time, a dollar savings to
the taxpayers of $30,800.
Beyond augmenting the patrol force, the
reserve program serves a multiple purpose.
An officer may find that this is truly the type
of work he or she wants to make a career of,
and will further his or her schooling accord-
ingly. For those persons already committed to
another line of full time employment, being a
reserve is a way of doing community service.
It has been said that the reserve program is
for "big kids wanting to play cop." We can
assure you that we are not playing at anything.
When we are on duty we are bound by the
same policies and code of ethics as a regular
deputy. We take the position after a great deal
of consideration —our own and the Depart-
ment's —and we invest a great deal of "free"
time to better ourselves. Even off duty, the
pride of being a Sheriff's Reserve Officer
colors our actions.
We serve —and are proud to do so.

Old- Timers Koffee Klatch
Several months ago, two or three retired
members of the Sheriff's Department who
live in northeast Fresno began meeting at a
neighborhood cafe for coffee once or twice a
week. The meetings were casual, informal,
spur -of- the - moment affairs, with no purpose
other than visiting and talking over old times.
Soon other Department retirees began joining
them, and the idea really caught on. Retirees
from other parts of the city, from the rural
areas of the county, a few retired Fresno
Police Department officers, and one or two
citizens who have been closely associated
with one of the two departments over the
years began showing up. Even some retirees
who have moved out of the county or out of
the state have attended on occasion.
The group eventually became too large for
the counter or general dining area, so the cafe
obligingly made the banquet room available.
The meetings are still casual and informal, but
are no longer spur of the moment situations.
Each Wednesday morning from around 9:30
until as long as anyone wants to stay, there will
be a group of from twenty to forty retired
peace officers enjoying the type of warm
fellowship that comes only from shared mem-
ories of years of working together under all
kinds of stresses and conditions, and of the
joys, frustrations, gratification, and disap-
"F 123
pointment of a career such as law enforce-
ment.
The meetings are completely unstructured.
There is no chairman, no toastmaster, no
speaker, no program, no designated seating
arrangement, no deference to former rank or
job assignment. Conversation is generally
confined to chatting with whomever happens
to be sitting nearby. If anyone does have
something he wishes to say to the group as a
whole, he must be loud and emphatic enough
to get their attention.
One particularly gratifying feature of the
meetings is a tacit taboo on discussion of
personality clashes, real or imagined injus-
tices, or other matters which may have been
quite controversial at the time they were
pertinent. The general feeling is that such
things aren't important any more, no matter
who was right or who was wrong at the time.
On the few occasions when someone has
attempted to air an old grievance, he has been
good- naturedly but firmly silenced.
Recently a few still active Department
members have occasionally taken advantage
of the opportunity to greet old comrades in
arms, and have been observed leaving with a
certain look that indicated they are looking
forward to the day when they can attend as
full - fledged retired members.

Police Departments In Fresno County
With the exception of the Fresno Police
Department, which has its own publication,
we like to present in each edition of The
Review an article concerning each police
department in Fresno County. Several months
prior to publication time every year we write
to all the chiefs of police, inviting them to
submit photographs of their personnel, and
articles outlining the progress of their respec-
tive departments, special activities or pro-
grams, significant problems, or any other
matter concerning their departments of com-
munities. Almost always the chief appears to
be enthusiastic about the idea, and promises
to see that appropriate material is submitted.
However, among all the other more pressing
problems connected with running a police
department, preparing an article for The
Sheriff's Review is naturally and justifiably
low on the priority list.
For this year's edition we came up with a
plan that we felt would provide each depart-
ment with adequate coverage, relieve the
department of the burden of preparing the
material, and give some of the young people
in our county a better understanding of and an
insight into the workings and problems of law
enforcement. That was to arrange for each
department's material to be prepared by the
journalism or creative writing class of the
community's high school.
Our first step toward implementation of the

plan was to solicit the opinion and approval of
each chief of police. That was done last
October, so that the students participating
would have plenty of time to work on the
project. Of the fourteen chiefs, four expressed
hearty approval and pledged their coopera-
tion in making the necessary information
available to the students. The plan was then
presented to the journalism and /or creative
writing teacher in the four appropriate high
schools. Of the four, two, Irene Patrick of
Kerman and P. Wyckoff of Fowler, felt the
idea had sufficient merit to give it a try. In
both instances the students did a creditable
job.
A few departments submitted articles pre-
pared by their own personnel, and some
apparently just didn't have time to compile
the material and prepare it for submission. We
can certainly understand that in view of to-
day's budgetary restrictions, but we regret the
omissions.
Both Ms. Patrick and Ms. Wyckoff stated
they feel participation in the aforementioned
project was a worthwhile effort for their
students, for it not only gave them experience
in gathering information and preparing it for
publication, but also enhanced the rapport
between them and the police officers in their
communities. We hope to try the idea again
next year, and we hope more police depart-
ments and schools will participate.

Fowler Police Department
SMALL BUT EFFECTIVE
By
The ,_journalism Class
Fowler High School
The Fowler Police Department, utilizing
limited facilities, brings adequate protection
to the small city of Fowler (population 2,250).
James Martin has served three and a half years
as Fowler's chief of police. Martin heads a
department which currently employs seven
full time officers. Five officers are paid by the
city, and two work under the C.E.T.A. pro-
gram.
Due to lack of funding, Fowler has two live -
in dispatchers, which are a rarity among
departments in California.
The Fowler Police Department is located in
a building that also contains the fire depart-
ment and the city hall. The modest building
no longer suits the needs of the various city
departments of this gradually growing area.
In the coming year, the police department,
along with the city hall, will be rebuilt in a new
location.
The new city hall /police department will
be located on the corner of Fifth and Main
streets, across the alley from the old building.
The police quarters will contain more modern
equipment. They will have a waiting room, a
large secretarial room, the chief's office, a
squad room, an interview room, an evidence
room, and storage and restroom facilities. The
new building will be four times larger than the
old one. This will make the police quarters
more comfortable.
Fowler still manages to keep summer time
programs in the budget. Manpower and
Migrant Work Studies are two programs
which enable younger men and women of the
community to receive job training through the
city.

Officer Don Dyer served as a school re-
source officer for three years. Due to lack of
funding he was cut out of the public relations
program, which had helped the students of
Fowler High communicate better with the
police. Dyer is now employed as a full -time
police officer.
Each officer is required to undergo C.P.R.
training once a year and must become certi-
fied. In December of 1979, Chief Martin and
Fireman Ken Karle conducted a C.P.R. class

for the community of Fowler. Many con-
cerned community members took advantage
of this opportunity and benefited from the
experience.
In a small town like Fowler the officers
know more about the people and their back-
ground of convictions and therefore have a
greater conviction rate than larger towns. The
communication between the police and the
people is very beneficial for the prevention of
crime.
The Fowler Police Department communi-
cates with the Fresno County Probation
Office in order to better handle priority
crimes. Officer Don Dyer meets once a week
with the police probation team to help reduce
juvenile delinquency and repeated convic-
tions of juveniles.
During 1979 the department issued 1,180
citations. Petty theft and vandalism seemed to
top the list of crimes committed in Fowler.
While driving through the town of Fowler late
at night, you will notice police keeping watch
throughout the city. Services such as these
allow the citizens of Fowler to know how
much safer the police department has made
the city.
The community of Fowler deeply appreci-
ates the Fowler Police efficiency and effec-
tiveness in crime prevention. The Fowler
Police Department has a very optimistic
attitude about future crime prevention in
Fowler.

Huron —A Community
To Be Proud Of
By Captain Oscar Gongora
HURON POLICE DEPARTMENT
Lett to right: Back row, E. Simmons, Patrol; R. Espinosa, Patrol; B. Parsons, Patrol;

NVhen you sit and write about a town called
Huron, you can only sit back and think of one
thing— Huron, a world of its own.
Huron has no alternative but to stay always
in the background, being ridiculed. This has
been true since 1951, when it was first incor-
porated. It has been a migrant town, supply-
ing the needs of migrant workers, ever since it
began, and because of the large influx every
year of undocumented workers, or aliens, it
has been given nicknames like "Little Ti-
juana" and "Tortilla Flats." During the past
year, this town was ridiculed because of poor
housing.
128
Granted, Huron does have its bad points,
but what town can say that it is perfect?
Huron does have good points about its past,
present and future. You do not often hear the
good things about this town, because those
things do not sell to the public —they are not
"newsworthy." I believe the news media are
so wrapped up in gathering bad news that
they do not stop and hear about good news.
Huron has changed in the past five years
from a bad to a nice place to live. There has
been a tremendous change in the police
department which, I believe, has accounted
for the transition from bad to good.
Five years ago, an officer driving around
town would get only an occasional wave of the
hand from the citizens, and it was unheard of
for an officer to live within the city limits.
Today, all the officers live within the city
limits, and almost everyone in town waves at
the officers. The big difference nowadays is
that the citizens wave with all five fingers.
Chief Primo T. Orosco started five years ago
and has worked to refine the police depart-
ment to make it what it is today. Chief Orosco
came to Huron with the intention of creating a
new image for the police department and its
officers, with the emphasis being placed on
public relations.
Officers got involved with the community,

promoting youth programs and trying to curb
juvenile delinquency. Five years ago, juve-
niles were being arrested at the rate of an
average of 30 a month. This soon dropped to
an average of one every four months.
Professionalism within the police depart-
ment was also changed. Levi pants, unshined
leather, and a generally drab appearance
changed to a full dress uniform.
The professional mannerism of the Huron
Police Department, coupled with its profes-
sional uniform, has changed the community
greatly. I feel that if a community feels good
about its police department, its citizens will
feel good about themselves and will change
for the better.

Kerman Police Department
Lives Up To Motto
"TO PROTECT AND SERVE"
By
The Journalism Class
Kerman Union High School
The Kerman Police Department has made
many improvements in the last year. Some of
these have been in the form of programs
instituted last year as well as new ones formed
recently. The department feels that these
programs benefit not only the community,
but provide motivation for the officers.
New Officers In Training
Kerman is growing rapidly, and the officers
are having to adjust to this growth in popula-
tion. To help alleviate this situation, Chief
Harold Grant has hired two new officers who
will add their skills to the force after they
finish their training. One of these officers is a
woman —a first for the Kerman Department.
The department is also receiving applicants
from the community for positions as Reserve
Officers.
New Equipment Added
The department is pleased to have received
new communications equipment as well as
two new patrol cars. The cars are 1980 Chev-
rolet Impalas with 350 cubic inch engines as
well as special steel reinforced siding. The
department also has access to a California
Highway Patrol helicopter which is based in
Fresno.
In Kerman the over -all crime rate has in-
creased, but the violent crime rate has de-
creased. To help combat the increase, the
department is handing out various flyers to
130
Chief Harold Grant shows new police car.
the merchants of the city. These flyers con-
tain descriptions of people suspected of
committing crimes in the area.
Programs instituted last year are continuing
and improving:
Neighborhood Block Watch
The '.Neighborhood Block AVatch Program
is another method of crime prevention. This is.
a program in which the occupants of a city
block watch out for each other's property.
Bicycle Patrol
In keeping with the community theme, the
department has a Bicycle Patrol that operates
during the summer months. The officers ride
around basically for two reason: to meet the
people within the neighborhoods and to be
more visible to the community.
Although one of the objectives of the de-
partment is to improve communications be-
tween the department and the community, a
great deal of emphasis is put on the youth of
the area.
National Youth Program Using Minibikes
The National Youth Program Using Mini -
bikes (N.Y.P.U.M.) has been fairly successful
in Kerman. The program focuses on junior
high school age youth, who, to stay with this
program, must meet certain requirements.

They must stay out of trouble in school or with

and girls, and those who take part learn re-

bikes they use. Wficer Jon Crouch rides
with the kids two days a week. Those who
participate really enjoy the activities and are
careful to keep their places in the program.

The Police Athletic League
The Police Athletic League (P.A.L.) has had
its own share of success in the community.
The P.A.L. Program accepts all youngsters
from the ages of 10 to 17. No one is turned
down because of a lack of athletic ability. As
of now, no high school age teams have been
formed because of the lack of interest from
the kids, but hopes are that the present P.A.L.
members will follow through with the pro-
gram as they grow older. In the autumn

the new Police Explorer Cadet program
which has been set up recently at the high
school for students ages 16 through 21. It will
also include some college freshmen. This pro-
gram is open f or interested boys and girls who
want to learn about the opportunities in law
enforcement. It is hoped that the students will
gain a better understanding of the police. This
program, which will have between 15 and 20
members, will be a community service or-
ganization.
Vial of Life
Along with the many other programs insti-
tuted last year, there is also one called the Vial
of Life. This program helps speed medical
procedure to any person who has a specific
health problem. Medical information about
the members of a household is placed in a vial
which is affixed to the interior of the refriger-
ator. A sticker is placed on the door of the re-
frigerator to notify the police and paramedics
that the vial is inside.

The past twelve months have definitely
been ones of change for the Kingsburg Police
Department. The Chief, Myron Galchutt, has
worked constantly to upgrade the depart-
ment to true professional status. Like most
small police departments, Kingsburg has lost
several employees to better paying agencies.
One sergeant, five police officers, and a dis-
patcher have found employment elsewhere.
The Chief instituted strict selection pro -
cedures for all open positions, and the depart -
ment has been fortunate in finding highly
136
qualified applicants who share his goal of
building an excellent department. Most of the
new employees came to Kingsburg with ex-
tensive law enforcement backgrounds, and all
are proving to be good selections. In addition,
the members of the department have voiced
strong support for the Chief, and look to the
future with optimism.
Several new programs have been started,
with more in the planning stages. Among
these was the appointment of a local minister
as a Level III reserve officer, to serve as a
department chaplain. His role will be primar-
ily that of follow -up counseling, particularly
with teenage youths and family crisis prob-
lems. He will also be available for counseling
of police officers and their families, to assist
them in coping with stress related to the job.
One of the more innovative changes was
the uniform for the Patrol Division. The Chief
approved adoption of the black turtleneck
dickey to replace the necktie worn with the
long sleeved shirt. Many agencies have al-
lowed the use of the dickey for motorcycle
officers, but this is one of the first times it has
been authorized for use by the entire Patrol
Force. Most officers will agree that the tie is

the one part of the uniform which serves no
useful purpose, and is the first to be knocked
off in any physical confrontation.
The department has also upgraded much of
the equipment. Two new police vehicles will
be delivered soon, and new tape recording
equipment is being installed in the dispatch
center. The tape recording equipment will
allow voice- actuated recording of all radio
and phone communications and will have
instant recall capability.
The past year has indeed been one of
change, but we feel it has been a year of great
progress for the police department and the
City of Kingsburg.

Selma is continuing its rapid growth in
population and businesses. McDonald's res-
taurant has just opened, and Me -.1 -Ed's Pizza
Parlor is under construction. Plans for a
K -Mart Shopping Center, along with a Burger
King restaurant, were submitted to the city
planning department for approval. The large
multi -unit shopping center would be along
Freeway 99 at Floral Avenue.
The increased growth of the city is placing a
great demand on police services. In order to
keep up with the demand for services, a
growth in the police department will be
necessary.
July 4 through July 6, 1980 marks Selma's
100th Birthday. There will be many events to
celebrate Selma's Centennial throughout the
year. July Fourth will see the opening of
Selma Historical Pioneer Village, which is
located along Freeway 99 near Highland
Avenue. Pioneer Village will contain many
artifacts collected from around the com-
munity from yesteryear. It will be open to the
public.

RETIREMENT: Sergeant
William P. Valenzuela, em-
ployed June 1, 1963, was
promoted to sergeant on
August 10, 1966, and retired
on medical disability on
March 15, 1980. He was
employed by the Fresno
County Sheriff's Department from May 1,
1962 to May 28, 1963.
Sergeant Valenzuela gave 18 years of ex-
cellent law enforcement service to the City of
Selma and will be missed by many who know
him. We at Selma Police Department wish
him well, and wish him happiness in his
retirement.

Selma Bank Robbery
"CRIME OF THE CENTURY"
By Michael A. Del Puppo
January 14, 1980 marked Selma's first bank
robbery in 92 years of community banking
services. At approximately 1434 hours, a silent
alarm activated at Selma Police Department,
indicating a hold -up at Crocker National
Bank. So began six minutes of history- making

drama, which ended in the arrest of the
suspect and recovery of $1,631.00.
At 1434 hours, officers were dispatched to a
hold -up alarm at Crocker National Bank.
Alarm activations at businesses and banks
during working hours are not unusual. Nearly
always they are malfunctions or accidental
activations. This time it was neither. At 1448
hours, officers at the scene advised police
headquarters by radio that there had been a
robbery. A bank teller informed officers she
had recognized the suspect known to her as
Arnold Aguilar. A broadcast was made on the
suspect, who was known to all officers on
duty.
At 1450 hours, a Selma businessman in-
formed police he had just seen someone being
detained at Lee and Tulare streets. Officers
arrived and identified Arnold Aguilar as the
suspect who was being detained by Hugh
Cox, Crocker Bank manager, and a citizen,
David Langdon, who gave chase after he saw
suspect's actions in the bank. Mr. Cox turned
over to officers a pellet gun taken from
suspect Aguilar. Langdon told police he was
standing in line in the bank and observed

suspect Aguilar at a teller's window. Langdon
noticed Aguilar had one hand in his leather
coat pocket. The teller was pulling money out
of the cash drawer and placing it on the
counter. Aguilar was grabbing the money and
stuffing it into his pockets. He then walked to
the bank's rear door and exited.
Langdon had his suspicions and asked the
teller if she had been robbed. When the teller
said yes, Langdon ran out the front door, then
around the corner, where he observed Aguilar
running down the alleyway. Langdon gave
chase with Cox close behind. As suspect was
running he was throwing money into the air,
much of which was recovered by Rick Jacob-
sen, a Selman who had joined the chase. After
a five -block chase, Langdon and Cox caught

suspect Aguilar, with the police close behind.
Police recovered a portion of the stolen
money on Aguilar, and $240.00 was turned
over to police by other citizens at the scene.
Arnold Aguilar, age 26, was booked at the
Selma City jail, then turned over to FBI
agents, who booked him into Fresno County
Jail. Aguilar stated to one officer, "I won't get
much federal time out of this; my pellet gun
was not loaded." (Note: On February 13,
1980, Aguilar was sentenced to ten years for
bank robbery.)
Chief James E. Brockett has submitted the
names of David Langdon and Hugh Cox to

Getting Away With Murder
By DETECTIVE WILLIAM LEHMAN
As Told to the Editor
Sometime around 1:00 A.M. last October 16,
Mrs. Anna Lee Cooper of Tollhouse heard the
family dogs barking outside, and a few min-
utes later there was a knock at the front door.
At first she ignored it, hoping whoever it was
would go away. Her husband worked the
night shift, and she was home alone with her
two children, Sharon and Sherman, twelve
and eight years old. The unknown caller
persisted, however, so she started from the
bedroom into the living room, calling out,
"Who is it ?" As she entered the living room she
noted that a window had been broken out,
and a rifle or shotgun barrel was pointing
through it into the room. Someone was trying
to force the front door open. She ran to the
door and tried to hold it closed, at the same
time telling Sharon, who had followed her
into the room, to go get a gun from under her
bed. The girl did so, and returned with an old
shotgun which was not loaded. Mrs. Cooper
took the gun and held it over her head as if to
use it as a club, but wisely decided not to do so
as the door gave way and two men entered,
one of them armed.
At gunpoint the intruders took the empty
shotgun, about twenty -four dollars, and the
keys to the family Volkswagen station wagon.
The younger of the two suggested taking
Sharon with them, but the older ruled against
it. The younger man took the car keys and
N\,ent outside, and returned a moment later
saying he couldn't get the car started. By that
time Sherman had awakened and come into
the room. All three victims were escorted
outside, and Mrs. Cooper was directed to start
the car. She did so, and she and the children
were then permitted to return to the house,
and the suspects started to leave. The engine
147
died, and one of them returned to the house
and took Mrs. Cooper back outside to start it
again, and as soon as she had done so, allowed
her to return to the house alone.
Mrs. Cooper took the children and ran out
the back door and hid in some bushes. The
car's engine died again before the suspects left
the premises, and one of them returned to the
house. When this happened they ran to a
neighbor's house for help, and the suspects,
unable to find them, managed to start the
vehicle themselves and drove away.
Thanks to Mrs. Cooper's calm acceptance
of a situation she couldn't change, neither she
nor her children suffered any physical harm.
The only tangible loss was the money, the
shotgun, and the automobile. The crime, hein-
ous as it was, was not as terrible as it might
have been, a possibility which became more
obvious as the investigation proceeded.
About eight o'clock that morning the Volks-
wagen was found abandoned on Sample
Road a mile or so east of Tollhouse Road. The
suspects had apparently run off the road, got
stuck, and, unable to extricate the vehicle, left
the area on foot. investigating patrol officers
called for a criminologist to process the
vehicle for evidence before it was moved. It
was dusted for latent fingerprints, and photo-
graphs and precise measurements were made
of footprints obviously left by the persons last
driving and riding in the vehicle. The only
item left behind by the suspects was a shot-
gun shell, 12 gauge, with a paper casing,
indicating it had been manufactured several
years ago, before munitions firms switched to
plastic for shotgun shell cases.
About midmorning on October 19, the
thought occurred to Jim Davies, the proprie-

for of the Tollhouse Market, that it had been
several days since he'd seen one of his regular
customers, Steve Adams, a 76- year -old man
who lived alone a short distance from the
store. IIe took a few items he thought the old
man might need, and went to check on him.
He found the front door of the modest house
locked, and when no one answered his knock,
he went around to the back door, and found it
open. He entered the house and found his
friend sitting on the floor adjacent to a large
wooden block, which had been used as a
chair, his chin on his chest, obviously de-
ceased. Because of the natural appearance of
the situation, Davies assumed he had suc-
cumbed to a heart attack, or other natural
cause, so he disturbed nothing, and returned
to the store to telephone the coroner.
Deputy Coroner William Flaherty arrived
at the Adams residence about 12:30 P.M., and
began his routine investigation to confirm the
victim's identity and determine the cause of
death. The latter question was answered
quickly; in the neck there was a gaping wound
apparently made by a shotgun, which Davies
hadn't noticed because it had been concealed
by the shirt collar. Flaherty radioed Sheriff's
Department headquarters and reported an
apparent homicide, and Detective Toni Lean
and I were assigned to investigate.

We arrived at the scene about 2:30 P.M.,
along with Criminalist Al Boudreau and
Criminologist Dale Morgan. While they be-
gan the more technical processing of the
scene, dusting for latent fingerprints, making
diagrams and photographs to show the posi-
tion of the body when found, etc., Torn and I
conducted a more general search. In the dirt
outside the back door we found several foot-
prints made by a shoe with some type of
ripple design on the sole. Mr. Adams' wallet
was found on the floor in the front room,
empty, and in a position to indicate it had
been gone through and thrown aside. In the
yard and in the driveway were several 12
gauge shotgun shells, with paper cases. Noth-
ing else was found that would help to identify
the person or persons responsible for the
killing. The empty wallet clearly pointed to
robbery as the motive. There were no signs of
the victim having offered any resistance, so
he'd probably been killed to keep him from
identifying the persons who had robbed him.
Did that mean it was someone he knew? Or,
could it have been a stranger Adams couldn't
have identified, and who had killed for no
apparent reason other than a mind devoid of
all human feeling and reason?

15 or the morning of the 16th, the same night
the Cooper home had been robbed. The
Adams house and the Cooper house are only a
mile apart, in an area so thinly populated in
comparison to a city that anyone residing
within five miles is considered a neighbor.
The probability of the two crimes having
been committed by the same person or per-
sons was obvious. Tom and I contacted De-
tective Ross Kelly, who had been working on
the Cooper robbery, and compared notes. On
that case, too, physical evidence left behind
had been meager. The robbery had been
committed with a shotgun, and at the scene of
the vehicle recovery a shotgun shell had been
found which was of the same brand and type
of those found at the murder scene. The foot-
prints found at the Cooper house were differ-
ent from those at the Adams place, but they
revealed one thing we found quite interesting.
In the heel the brand name "Sullivan" was
clearly legible. That is the brand of shoe

usually issued by state prisons to inmates
being released.
And, of course, Mrs. Cooper and her chil-
dren had been able to describe clearly the
physical appearance of the two men who had
robbed them. Kelly had been busy for two
days checking reports of two suspicious men
seen in the area the evening of the 15th. The
description given by all who had seen and
called about them matched that furnished by
the Coopers.
On the chance the robbers might have
thrown from the car something that would be
of value in identifying them, we decided the
roadside between the Adams residence and
the-point where the car had been abandoned
should be checked on foot. A group of con-
cerned residents of the Tollhouse community
volunteered to assist in this venture, and we
were thus able to search thoroughly every
square foot of the roadside along the twelve
mile route. Nothing of any value was found.

On the 23rd of October we received an
anonymous tip that a subject named Gary
Stankewitz had been seen near the Tollhouse
Elementary School a few days earlier. The
name was familiar to us; a year and a half
earlier we had investigated a kidnapping and
murder committed by his older brother,
Douglas. In that case, Douglas, accompanied
by three companions, had kidnapped a young
woman as she left a store in a Modesto shop-
ping center, and forced her to accompany
them to Fresno in her car. After driving
around a while, during which time she offered
no resistance, but tried to get along with them,
Douglas put her out of the car, and, as she
stood quietly by the roadside, calmly shot her
in the head. Ile was subsequently convicted
of kidnapping and murder in the first degree,
and, at the time of this writing, is on Death
Row at San Quentin. The similarity to the kill-
ing of Steve Adams was striking, in that in
neither case was the victim offering any re-

sistance or doing anything to provoke such
drastic action. Could a penchant for cold -
blooded killing be a family trait?
A check of Gary Stankewitz's criminal his-
tory file indicated he had been sentenced to
prison some time before. We contacted the
State Parole Office, and learned he had been
released on October 13, and had checked in
with the local parole office on October 19.
That would explain the Sullivan heel print
found at the Cooper residence. A photo was
obtained, and a photo line -up prepared by
placing the suspect's photo at random among
photos of several other persons of similar
appearance. When the line -up was shown to
Mrs. Cooper, she unhesitatingly picked the
picture of Gary Stankewitz as the older of the
two men who had robbed her. A formal
complaint was filed, charging him with bur-
glary and robbery, and a warrant was issued
for his arrest.
We realized that if Gary knew he had been

identified and was wanted, he would im-
mediately flee the area, and would probably
rob, and perhaps kill, someone else to obtain
traveling money and /or transportation. We
therefore explained to the local news media
representatives that we could tell them noth-
ing at that time regarding the progress of our
investigation, and asked that they not com-
ment on our silence, or speculate on the reason
for it. They were most cooperative, a fact that
enabled us to conduct a month -long investi-
gation into the whereabouts of Stankewitz
without his even suspecting that he had been
positively identified as a robbery suspect, and
was also wanted for questioning regarding a
murder.
On the evening of November 17 Gary
Stankewitz was located at the home of rela-
tives in Fresno, and was taken into custody
without incident. He was sitting on a couch
with no shoes on at the time of arrest. Pre-
paring to accompany the officers, he put on
and acknowledged ownership of a pair of
boots with a Sullivan heel.
Ross Kelly and I interviewed Gary shortly
after he was arrested. We informed him of his
right to remain silent, to have an attorney, etc.,
as the law requires us to do. He refused to

The arresting officers had noted that also
present at the house where Gary was arrested
was a younger male who closely matched the
description of the second suspect. It was also
noted that he wore tennis shoes with a tread
design that resembled the footprint found at
the Adams house. Ile had identified himself as
Theodore Stankewitz, said he was 15 years
old, and was Gary's brother. We tried to find a
photo of him to show to the Coopers, but even
though he had been previously arrested for
felonious assault, there was no photo in his
file. However, he so closely matched the
description of the younger suspect that we felt
we had reasonable cause to make an arrest.
We therefore contacted the relatives where he
and Gary had been staying and, with their
permission, entered the home and took him
into custody.
Theodore was advised of his rights, and we
questioned him. We pointed out to him that
his shoes had obviously made the footprints
we had found at the murder scene, and that a
conviction could mean the death penalty for
both him and his brother. He also refused to
make a statement.

your brother," I told him. "That ought to be

That's something to be proud of."
We went ahead and booked him into
Juvenile Hall on robbery and burglary of the
Cooper family and residence.
On November 21 we received a call from
Juvenile Hall, advising us Theodore Stanke-
witz had said he wanted to talk to officers
regarding a murder. That afternoon we con-
tacted him, again advised him of his rights,
and asked him what he had to tell us. He made
a complete confession, in detail, as follows:
He and Gary were brought to the Tollhouse
area from Sacramento on October 15, by their
mother, arriving there in the evening. The
mother of a child of Gary's, born while he was
in prison, lived in the area, and the purpose of
the trip was to visit the child. Their mother
dropped them off in front of the house where
the child's mother was supposed to live, and
left them there. They found that the child's

mother had moved away, so they started
walking toward Tollhouse. As they were
walking, Gary told Theodore they should try
to get a ride to Fresno, and they tried to flag
down several vehicles. When they reached the
vicinity of the Adams house they decided to
contact the occupant to see if they could get a
ride. Theodore, on Gary's instructions, went
to the front door and knocked, while Gary
went to the back door. The occupant didn't
open the door when Theodore knocked, but
yelled for him to leave. He continued knock-
ing, but there was no response. After a few
minutes had passed, he decided to go to the
back of the house to see what Gary was doing.
He found the back door open and Gary inside.
When he started to enter Gary told him to pull
his shirt up over his head, apparently so he
couldn't be identified later. Gary was de-
manding money and a car from an old man,
and asking him if he had any guns in the house.
The old man said he didn't have any cars that
were in running condition, that both of the
two in the back yard were broken down.
After some conversation the old man handed
his wallet to Gary, who passed it on to Theo-
dore and told him to take the money out.
Theodore went into the front room, rifled the

wallet, found a small amount of money, gave

Gary kept insisting that there must be a gun
in the house, and demanding that the old man
get it and turn it over to him. Finally, the old
man went into another room and returned
with a 12 gauge shotgun and a 22 caliber rifle,
neither of them loaded. Gary demanded
ammunititon, and the victim produced a
number of shells for the shotgun. Then the
victim sat down on a large block of wood, and
Gary shot him in the neck with the shotgun.
They left the house, and dropped some of
the shotgun shells as they walked across the
yard. They walked to the Cooper house, and
committed the robbery in the manner de-
scribed by Mrs. Cooper and Sharon.
When they left the Cooper house "Theodore
was driving, and Gary kept complaining that
he was driving too slowly. Finally, they
stopped and Gary took the wheel. A short
distance farther on they ran off the road. They
tried to push the car back onto the road, but
couldn't do so, so they walked to a point near
the intersection of Sample and Tollhouse
roads, and slept the remainder of the night in a
field. The next morning they started walking
again, and somewhere between there and

After talking to Theodore we went to Sac-
ramento and talked to the mother of the two
suspects. She couldn't furnish any additional
information, but did confirm Theodore's
story of their original reason for going to the
Tollhouse area, and of dropping them off
near the house where the mother of Gary's
child was supposed to live.
We also took Theodore to the spot where he
said he and Gary had spent the night. He
claimed Gary had subsequently told him he
had returned alone to the spot, retrieved the
guns, and sold them to an unknown person.
However, we thought we might find some-
thing else that would strengthen our case by
corroborating Theordore's confession. All we
found was one 12 gauge shotgun shell, of the
same type and manufacture of those found at
the Adams residence and at the abandoned
vehicle.

Theodore assured us that he would testify
against his brother, and reheat the confession
in court. Even with that assurance, because of
the strict and specific provision of law re-
garding prosecution testimony by a co -con-
spirator, we still didn't have much of a case
against Gary for the murder of Adams. The
law requires that to corroborate such testi-
mony, there must be independent evidence
that, standing alone, will implicate the person
being testified against. Under present day
court philosophy, implicate is virtually a
synonym for convict. It's similar to the old
cliche about borrowing money from a bank; if
you are financially solvent enough -to qualify
for a loan, you don't need to borrow. If you
have enough evidence to corroborate the
crime partner's testimony, you don't need the
testimony.
But we had to do the best we could with
what we had, so, with Theodore's promise to
testify, we went ahead and filed a murder
charge against Gary, hoping to use Theo-
dore's testimony as the mainstay of our case,
and be permitted to introduce what little
additional evidence we had, being able to
place him in the neighborhood when the
crime was committed; the identical shotgun

shells found in the Adams yard; the aban-
doned car; and where the pair spent the re-
mainder of the night after leaving the car, as
corroboration.
When the case went to a preliminary hear-
ing, where the Municipal Court would decide
whether or not we had sufficient evidence to
hold Gary for trial, Theodore refused to tes-
tify. A recess was called, and he was offered
immunity from prosecution for his part in the
crime in exchange for his testimony. He still
refused. He was then removed from the
courtroom to the District Attorney's office,
and, with his attorney present, was asked why
he had reneged on his promise to testify. He
stated he didn't want to put his brother on
Death Row. The District Attorney promised
him he wouldn't ask for the death penalty, but
would recornrnend only a prison term, but
Theodore wouldn't budge from his position.
We had no choice but to ask that the murder
complaint against Gary be dismissed. Even
with Theodore's testimony, our case would
have been weak, for what little additional
evidence we had was only circumstantial.
Without the testimony we had no case at all, or
nothing we would have been permitted to use
in court.

The District Attorney, then tried Gary on the
burglary and robbery of the Coopers. Mrs.
Cooper and Sharon in their testimony posi-
tively identified Gary as the older of the two
robbers. Detectives, patrol officers, and tech-
nicians would have testified to finding the
footprint with the Sullivan heel at the scene,
and of Gary's wearing and admitting owner-
ship of boots with that type of heel when lie
was arrested. However, the court ruled that
such evidence was inadmissible, because the
similarity between the footprint and Gary's
boot heels and soles was not positive proof of
his presence at the scene. The jury deliberated
several days, and brought in a verdict of not
guilty.
An attempt was then made to prosecute
Theodore for both the murder and the rob-
bery. The court would not permit the confes-
sion to be introduced, ruling that it had been
coerced by remarks made by us the first time
we tried to talk to him. In the hearing on the
defense motion to declare the confession in-
admissible, the District Attorney called as a
witness a priest who frequently visits the in-
mates of Juvenile Hall. The priest testified
that he had spoken to Theodore prior to the
latter's request to talk to us, and in the con-
versation had told him it would be best if he
told the truth to the police. Shortly after that
meeting with the priest Theodore made his
request to talk to us. But the court still ruled
that our previous remarks had coerced him
into making a confession.

Without his confession there was no point in
trying to prosecute Theodore for the murder
either, so he was tried only for the burglary
and robbery of the Coopers. As a prime ex-
ample of the inconsistency of jury reasoning,
he was found guilty, on evidence not one bit
more incriminating than we had had in Gary's
trial. He was sentenced to a seven -year term in
custody of the Youth Authority. Gary was
returned to prison for violation of parole, but
will no doubt be free, and may have killed
someone else, by the time this account is
printed. His scheduled release date is May 29,
1980.
Shakespeare said that "murder will out,"
but as this case clearly indicates, that doesn't
necessarily mean the murderer will be pun-
ished. Or perhaps they had different rules of
evidence in the Bard's time. We are sure that
Gary Stankewitz killed Steve Adams, but
because court rules kept us from telling the

jury everything we knew about the case, he
can never be held accountable.
It is, recognized that there must be rules
regarding admissibility of testimony by co-
conspirators; if there weren't, in many in-
stances vvhoever had the first opportunity to
make a deal for immunity in exchange for
testimony against his crime partner would go
free, and the partner would take the blame,
for the old adage attributing honor to thieves
is about as outdated and inaccurate as the one
to the effect that crime does not pay. There
also must be rules controlling the admissibil-
ity of circumstantial evidence. If there were
none, some innocent persons could be con-
victed. But why can't the law permit the
courts to use some common sense in applying
the rules? Surely a learned judge should be
able to determine whether or not justice
would be served by the admission of a certain

bit of evidence, and not have to simply rule it
inadmissible because, by itself, it may not
actually prove anything. Unless it is com-
pletely irrelevant or obviously prejudicial, it
should be admitted, and the jury allowed to
decide what weight it should be given. As it is,
the jury is often asked to reach a verdict
without having available to them all the per-
tinent information.
The jury should certainly be permitted to
consider a confession such as the one made in
this case, along with the circumstances under
which it was made, and allowed to decide
whether or not it was due to coercion. Would
any reasonable person, having listened to the
taped recording of the first conversation we
had with Theodore, and the subsequent taped
confession, really believe that because we
made a few remarks about the possibility of
Death Row for him and his brothers, he con-
cocted the whole story out of thin air? It
appears that what the court was really saying
was that we didn't play fair by putting him in
the position of having to testify against his
own brother.
The function of a jury is to weigh conflict-
ing stories and circumstances and determine
which is truth and which is fiction. If juries are
permitted to consider only those matters
about which there is no doubt, then there is no
reason for their existence. Until some drastic
changes are made in rules of evidence and in
court philosophy, people will continue to get
away with murder.

It's the Same All Over
When a Policeman Is Killed
on the Job, Part of America Dies
The f requentl y expressed f eeli,ng among peace of f icers that their e f f orts
are not properly appreciated is not confined to local police agencies. As
evidence that it is widespread, we present the following item by Mr. Ron
Hudspeth, from the editorial page of the Atlanta Journal, Atlanta,
Georgia, printed in. February 1980.
A policeman friend of mine has a broken
finger.
He laughs it off. It's all part of the job he is
underpaid to do while most of us are sound
asleep.
In the wee hours recently he spotted a car
weaving and running over the median on
Piedmont Road.
He guessed it was a drunk driver. He was
right. The guy staggered out of his car and
could barely walk.
The officer asked the man to get into the
back seat of the squad car. He argued briefly,
but finally relented.
No sooner had the policeman put the man
into the back seat when out of the car jumped
the man's wife.
She had a look of rage on her face. She was
holding a bourbon and water in her hand.
"You think you're pretty tough, don't you ?"
she yelled at the policeman. "What are you
doing stopping and arresting people like us?
You ought to be out catching criminals, smart
guy. „
Then she threw the bourbon and water in
the policeman's face.
He grabbed the woman and walked her out
to the squad car. When he opened the door to
put her in the back seat, the man jumped out
sNN,inging.
163
Restraint and Wisdom With Drunks
A fight ensued. The officer's finger was
broken. He probably had every right to break
the guy's jaw, but he stopped short.
Policemen are supposed to show restraint,
wisdom and patience even with drunks who
want to fight and women who insult them and
toss drinks in their face.
For all that, a policeman makes less than
most bus drivers, bartenders and executive
secretaries.
Our priorities are in strange places. Hard
heads like Q. V. Williamson and James
Howard who masquerade as public servants
have refused to give police a raise I'm certain
most Atlantans support.
In their ignorance, Williamson and Howard
are flirting with the public safety. Atlanta has
good police officers, but they can't be kicked
in the face forever without their morale
suffering seriously.
It's frightening because eventually it will
affect you. You will cry for a policeman and
no policeman will be there.
Unfortunately, the bottom line is police-
men do not always just break their fingers.
Sometimes they die in the line of duty. That in
itself is a crime for the paycheck they receive.
Saturday night, officer Alfred Johnson,
working a second job because of low pay, like

Dreams of Being a Policeman
The other night Robert Hawkins, a 22 -year-
old DeKalb County officer, died when his car
crashed while he was chasing a burglary
suspect.
I received a letter from one of Hawkins'
fellow officers.
He was shocked at the "total lack of recog-
nition of a police officer who gives his life for
the people of his county and state. It not only
angers me, but mostly it makes me very sad."
Hawkins, who leaves a young wife of less
than a year, had dreamed as a kid of being a
policeman. The day he turned the minimum
21 years old he applied.
The policeman who wrote me also sent
along a poem.
It should be mandatory reading for every
citizen:

Somebody killed a policeman today and
part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect
will be buried with him at his side.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield,
too, just as if he had gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at
half -mast, to his name they will add a gold
star.
The suspect who killed him will stand up in
court with counsel demanding his rights.
While a young widowed mother must work
for her kids, and spend many long lonely
nights.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today
. Maybe in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our
locked doors, a cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city
street, and he stands at each rookie's side.
He answered the call.... of himself he gave
all, and a part of America died.

conflict, I went ahead and took the oppor-
tunity.
"I have my college degree and was ere -
dentialed for teaching at the junior college
level, so there was no real problem if things
could be worked out with the Sheriff's Office
and the school."
Gallagher said the Sheriff's Office, along
with school officials, have been "absolutely
fantastic" about the dual role, and have
helped arrange schedules so there will be a
minimum of conflict.
"If the two things ever do overlap, my first
responsibility is obviously to the Sheriff's
Office," said Gallagher. "But fortunately,
we've only had one time so far when there was
a problem, and in that case the guys at school
just fill in until I'm finished with whatever it is
I'm doing."
Gallagher's role with both the school and
the Sheriff's Office was recently "upgraded"
at both ends. He was named to the post of
varsity baseball coach, after previously han-
dling the junior varsity program, and was also
named to succeed Sgt. Artie Cox as sergeant

in charge of the northeast sector for between
six months and a year while Cox undergoes
training in the main Sheriff's Office.
Gallagher said having the one -on -one re-
lationships with the high school students has
been helpful, both in his role as a coach and in
his role as a police officer.
"I've been able to turn a couple of cases
because of my contact with the kids," he said.
"They know an awful lot about what is
happening in the area and just having a
relationship where they can tell you some-
thing really helps. But even more important, I
think we've been able to keep a number of
kids from going over the edge because I was
accessible and we were able to talk."
Gallagher said he has had to deal with the
problem of students and parents upset be-
cause of decisions he has had to make as a
coach, but said simply by talking with them
and making sure they understood why certain
decisions were made has minimized those
problems.
"One thing you get from the kids, when
they know you are a cop, is a continual line of

quesitons," noted Gallagher. "They never let
you forget you are a cop. On the other hand,
they get to see you as a human being, and get
to know that you are not just someone who
arrests people."
Gallagher is 35 years old, and said he is
finishing up on his high school teaching cre-
dential in case he decides lie would like to
teach full time upon retirement from the
Sheriff's Office.
"I thoroughly enjoy kids and coaching," he
said. "If I couldn't continue this dual arrange-
ment, I think I would eventually like to have a
job in the classroom, and as a coach."
Observing high school aged students from
the perspective of both a coach and a law
enforcement person, Gallagher feels students
of today are "coming up from where they
were a few years ago."
"We had some bad years in the late sixties,"
he said. "But I think the kids of today have
come up from that, all the way around. You
still have some bad kids, but overall I think
things are really looking better."
Gallagher said the rural and mountain com-
munities are probably even more fortunate
when it comes to their young people than the
city dwellers.
"Sierra High School, for instance, is blessed.
The quality and level of the kids here is
unbelievable."
Gallagher has been vvith the Sheriff's Office
for a total of ten years, the last four in the
mountains. He is a graduate of Fresno State,
and also attended Long Beach State and West
Hills Community College. He was raised in
Tranquillity and served a hitch in the Navy.
He and his wife Sandy, and their two
children live on Lodge Road near the high
school.

It's About Time!
An article in the 1977 edition of The
Review, dealing generally with the judicial
system in California, mentioned that seldom
does anyone challenge an incumbent judge in
an election; that most vacancies, whether due
to death, resignation, or creation of new posts,
are filled by gubernatorial appointment. It
was pointed out that because of this almost
certain assurance of a lifetime job, a judge is
virtually immune from public criticism; that
many citizens are unaware that most judges
can be voted out of office. We suggested that
the only way the situation could be corrected,
and the courts made truly responsible to the
people, would be for citizens to publicize
their criticisms and grievances pertaining to
individual judges, to let qualified persons who

might be interested in becoming candidates
know they'd have some support.
The number of incumbent judges who are
being challenged locally in this year's election,
and are thus having to explain and defend
their actions and philosophies, seems to indi-
cate that our 1977 article was widely read and
its message taken seriously. We shan't pre-
sume to take all the credit, of course, for
others have been saying the same thing for
years. But we'd like to think we helped a little
bit.
There's some merit to the theory that the
judiciary should not have to become involved
in politics. But there's also merit to the theory
that a judge should have to answer to the
citizens who pay his salary.

Justice, For Whom?
By
SHERIFF FRANK W. HARTY
San Joaquin County
EDITOR'S NOTE: We like to include in each issue an article by our own
sheriff, Harold McKinney. This year, however, he has graciously yielded
the floor to Sheriff Frank Harty of San Joaquin County, because he feels
his colleague has a message that is worthy of consideration by all our
readers.
There has been a lot of talk about crime and
I am sure there will be much more. If you pay
real close attention you will notice none of the
politicians has much to say, not even Gover-
nor Brown, who surely must know there is a
crime problem here in California.
Speaking of Governor Brown, in just five
years he has personally appointed almost 440
judges with more appointments to be made.
That's almost half of the entire judiciary, and
every one was a political appointment. Fur-
ther, not one required Senate confirmation,
like appointments to the Art Commission,
such as Ms. Jane Fonda.
We're told that judges are not influenced by
politics. Like it or not, judges are political by
the very nature of their existence. Why?
Because they make human judgments and
humans are philosophically either conserva-
tive, moderate or liberal. In practice then,
Justices at the Appellate and Supreme court
levels can implement their philosophical
"druthers" whenever they choose, and they
do.
How does this relate to crime? Before I
answer, let's suppose that all of our doctors in
the medical profession decided that they
would no longer concern themselves with the
causes of illness, but would just simply treat
the symptoms. Very soon many of their
patients and the public would become disen-
173
chanted with the medical profession. It would
be safe to say that quite a number of their
patients would die.
If we consider crime an illness then it can be
concluded that we are just treating the symp-
toms of crime, not causes and our society's
patients are dying as a result.
What might support this conclusion? Let
me quote the Attorney General of California.
"Since the last murderer went to the gas
chamber in California in 1967, over 20,000
Californians have been executed —but none
of them died in the gas chamber. They were
all executed in our communities. Of that
number, 11,000 died in the last five years
alone, and according to the latest statistics, the
rate is going up every day. And why not?
We live in a country that, literally, is willing
to act more decisively on behalf of the snail
darter than it is for terrified victims in our
cities. Twenty thousand willful killings; there
ought to be a law, and there was.
That law was in our constitution for many
years, until the philosophy of the Supreme
Court changed when new justices were ap-
pointed. The constitution still read the same
but the justices' interpretation changed. I'll let
you decide whether their philosophy change
was to either conservative, moderate or liber-
al. In any event and in response by the initia-
tive process, the people, by their collective

philosophy, overwhelmingly voted to require
the justices to interpret the death penalty as
constitutional.
Look at it another way: What do doctors do
with patients with a contagious disease? They
isolate their patients so that the disease doesn't
become epidemic in nature. Aren't prisons a
form of isolation? Would doctors remove
their patients from medical isolation and
return them to the community while still in-
fected with a contagious disease? Of course
they wouldn't. Why? Because they and the
rest of us know what would happen to them
and their license to practice if they did.
We in the justice system release highly con-
tagious patients back into society all the time.
We, in the the so- called criminal justice sys-
tem, have infected more law abiding citizens
with more murderous and torturous deaths
than in the history of our country, 11,000 in the
last five years. We have infected more law
abiding citizens with robbery, rape, mayhem,

burglary and anything else you want to name,
than ever before.
I suggest that crime, if considered an illness,
has long since reached epidemic proportions
and you have yet to hear from the politicians
that there is even a problem.
Of course I am biased; however, I am con-
tinually amazed why the law abiding citizens
of this state will sit still while this serious crime
epidemic continues to increase.
People in medicine know that if one slowly
increases drug dosages the human system
begins to react by increasing its tolerance
level. However, if the dosages continue to be
increased, in most all cases illness and even
death will eventually occur; could it be that all
of us have had our crime dosages slowly and
continually increased to accept the unaccept-
able to where society now just sits and waits
for the overdose?
Can we believe that the good people of this
state must continue to accept the increasing

dosages of murders, rape and mayhem and
other forms of violence today as a necessary
part of our being civilized, with each of us
knowing that our own personal overdose may
come tomorrow.
My opinion is that we will continue to re-
ceive increasing dosages of crime until we
change the power politics in Sacramento.
The controversy between Leo McCarthy
trying to retain his seat as Speaker of the
House and Mr. Berman's efforts to unseat him
is a good example. Pay close attention to what
happens to the people's representatives who
were in opposition to the final winner. You
will find that they are punished, will lose their
committee appointments, be relegated to a
less than re- electable position, and even get
smaller offices without windows. Why? Be-
cause that's the way it works. How will we be
represented by those assemblymen who lost
when this is all over?
By the way, the Speaker of the House, Mr.
Leo McCarthy, is responsible for the ultra
liberal committee membership of the Assem-
bly Criminal Justice Committee here in Cali-
fornia and for the fact that no bill of any
substance dealing with crime ever gets out of
that committee and the dosages continue. Mr.
Berman may be even more liberal.
That's why I advocate during 1980, when
the entire California Assembly along with
quite a few senators are running for re -elec-
tion, we should consider calling for a Consti-
tutional Convention to deal with crime.
I believe the people of California can do
something about the crime problem in spite of
the legislature, but only when the people have
had enough, and I think they have had just
about enough.
Through this process of calling for a Consti-
tutional Convention, the public can express its
feelings and demand that our appointed and
elected representatives guarantee the citizens
of this state the rights and protections to
which they are entitled.
Our call for a convention if the legislators
fail to act in 1980, has gained considerable
177
support statewide. I have been calling on all
my colleagues in law enforcement and other
organized groups to, at the appropriate time,
go to the public in mass and ask for their help
in calling on the legislature to act in at least
three areas that are considered reasonable and
to give the people in California the oppor-
tunity to at least vote on whether they want a
safer California. Those three constitutional
amendments are:
1. That all Appellate Courts and above
appointments to the judiciary be confirmed
by the Califorina Senate.
2. That no retroactive application of court
decisions be made and that only guilt or
innocence be cause for reversal.
3. That no public safety bill passed by one
house can be killed by a committee of the
other and that a public floor vote would be
required.
While such measures are working through
the legislative process, we intend to ask all law
abiding citizens of our community to cir-
culate statewide a simple petition of instruc-
tions to our legislators to pass these measures
to the ballot so that the people of California
may truly cast their votes for a safer state.
Should the California Legislature and the
Governor of the State fail to heed the hue and
cry of the public, then we can be no worse off
by calling for a full Constitutional Convention
limited to our serious crime problem, for we
will have proven we are no longer a govern-
ment by the people, for the people, but are in
fact a government by a chosen few for a
chosen few.
