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

Sergeant Mosqueda was born in Madera and graduated from Kerman High School in 1940. He served in the United States Army during World War II. He then joined the Fresno Police Department on October 18, 1947. After spending five years as a patrolman, he spent several years in the Detective Division. On August 1, 1964, he was promoted to Sergeant and returned to the Patrol Division. Salvador Mosqueda was a policeman's policeman. He was never too busy, on or off duty, to help his fellow man. He was known for his participation in local community activities. He had several letters of com mendation from various groups, citizens and the Fresno Police Department. He was President of the Central California Juvenile Officers Association in 1961. The people of Fresno will miss Sergeant Mosqueda, as a policeman and good friend. He is survived by his wife Dora and sons, Steve, Jerry and Ronnie. I 10 11" iWtrnluriant Robert HoutchensROBERT HOUTCHENS W. R.NIX On December 8, 1973, the community of Coalinga was saddened by the sudden dea th of Captain Robert Houtchens, who suc cumbed to a heart attack while on duty at the Coalinga Police Department. Captain Houtchens was born in Seattle, Washington, and prior to entering police work, pitched several years for the Port land baseball team in the old Coast League. He also pitched eight years for the Coalinga Oilers. Captain Houtchens' first entry into police work was with the Bend, Oregon, Police Department, where he served three years. For the past 22 years, Captain Houtchens had worked his way up through the ranks at the Coalinga Police Department, where five years ago he earned the rank of Captain. Captain Houtchens was the per sonification of a good small town lawman, devoted to his job while still maintaining sympathy and interest for those around him. He could be tough, and he could be compassionate for someone with a heavy load of trouble on their shoulders. It was said by many people, young and old, that what put Bob atop the ordinary policeman was the fact that "He Cared." There were many young athletes at West Hills College, short of cash, whom Bob helped out. He ' always seemed to have "a few extra bucks" to loan. Bob never asked when they cO!lld pay it back; but instead asked how much they needed. Bob was not only a good cop, he was also a good friend, be it in a patrol car or on the golf course. Bob will be missed by all, for no two men could replace one so strong. A scholarship for criminology students from West Hills College is being established as a memorial. Captain Houtchens is sur vived by his wife Ruth, sons Armonde and Bob, and a daughter Sharon. w. R. "Dub" Nix On December 29, 1973, the community of Coalinga was stunned by the sudden dea th of Sergeant W. R. "Dub" Nix, who suc cumbed to a heart attack. Sergeant Nix's death came just three weeks after the death of Captain Robert Houtchens. Sergeant Nix was born in Eldorado, Oklahoma, on November 15, 1928. He was 45 years old at the time of his death. Sergeant Nix entered his law enforcement career at the Coalinga Police Department 14 years ago. He was promoted to Sergeant five years ago. Dub was regarded as a tenacious and thorough worker, and he was both a fine officer and a fine person. His competence, kind and friendly disposition proclaimed to ",nunno that he came in contact with. Those of us who knew and worked with him will long remember his friendliness and his keen sense of humor. It was truly a pleasure to work a shift with Dub, knowing without question tha t he would stand behind you and give you 100 per cent of his support. Dub had just begun to make his farming and ranching operation profitable, something he had devoted his entire life to. The entire community will miss Dub, the cowboy cop who tried so desperately to make his dream a reality, which was to own and operate his own ranching operation. He had worked so hard for so long, only to die so soon. He is survived by his wife Juanita, two daughters, I Cinda Ramalho and Vanessa and two 11 CWHE~ II'{ (§IE 'WO~LD ARE YOU MOVING?

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

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

In 1973, following the passage of a county charter amendment, the Board of Supervisors resolved to consolidate the constables of Fresno County into the Sheriff's Department. This merger allowed the Sheriff to provide more u~form law enforcement and emergency ser VIces throughout the county and to provide more uniform training for all county area law en forcement officials as well as eliminating some duplication of services. Fresno County was one of the few counties in California still using constables for rural law enforcement prior to the consolida tion.

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

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

Mabel wasn't tending the counter, and it appeared the cafe was empty until Mrs. Leap walked into the kitchen area where she was able to see her daughter lying in a pool of blood in a small storage room in the rear of the kitchen.

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

The victim's false teeth, broken hearing aid and glasses added to the litter. All these items were splattered with or lying in a pool of blood. The absence of any sign of struggle in the cafe made the deputies feel that the person respon sible may have been known to the victim and that she may have willingly accompanied him to the store room prior to the attack. At this time it learned that the victim had a business partner who had put money into the bus~ness, supplied meat to be used but whose name dId not appear on any of the licenses.

This combined with the subject's unexpected denial of any association with the cafe or friendship with the victim left considerable doubt of his innocence. The explanation given for the blood on his shirt was that he had been home all day butchering a hog. The subject was then transported to the~ Sheriff's Department where his clothing was tested and it was determined that the blood was actually animals'. Other in formation was obtained that verified the but chering story and cleared this subject of any implication in the crime. On 24 December 1972, Dr. T. C. Nelson, Fresno pathologist, conducted an autopsy on the vic tim's body. Results verified that the victim had been raped and had suffered up to thirty cuts and blows to the left side of her head, apparently administered from behind by someone using his left hand to hold the weapon. It was believed that the grape knife, broken hammer and possibly the hatchet had been used in the attack.

He reported that they sat at the counter waiting for service, then when no waitress appeared he had stood up and at that time observed the victim lying on the floor of the store room. No one else was around, and the thought of a crime having been committed never crossed their minds. Both men felt that the victim was drunk and drove on to Lemoore expressing the opinion that it was a poor way to conduct a business. Another witn~ss reported seeing the victim alive at 10:20 a.m. that morning. These two times were the closest that could be set for the victim's death. A careful check cleared persons associated with the victim of any implication, and witnesses living in the area did not report seeing any unusual people that day.

The fact that rape had been the motive rather than robbery made the deputies realize that they were dealing with a seriously disor dered offender who might be extremely difficult to locate or identify but who was going to have to be located to prevent any further such acts. On 26 · December 1972 a statewide bulletin was put on giving the information relative to the offense and requesting information on possible suspects. On 27 December 1972 Detectives Tabler and Christensen felt that they should make one more effort to search the fields around the scene to attempt to locate any possible evidence that might give some clue to the identi ty of the person responsible. At noon of that day Constable Adrian White of Caruthers was informed of this decision and was also advised that the deputies wanted to check the farm workers pruning in the fields adjacent to the cafe. Arrangements were made to meet the Constable at the scene. At 1:00 p.m. the detectives arrived at the cafe, at which time Constable White arrived with the Con/il/ued DAVE CHRISTIAN CONSTRUCTION ASPHALT AND PAVING SPECIALIST GRADING & PAVING State License Na. 195810 4225 E.

This subject had been arrested. Though the Constable did not recall his name, the case had been handled by Detective Willie Martin of the Sheriff's Department, who was then contacted by radio and supplied the name of Melvin Lister, who lived in a la bor camp in Kings County south of Riverdale. Records of the Sheriff's Department indicated that Lister had served seven days for the assault on the farm wife and was no longer in custody. It was unknown if he was still in the area. Checking the fields around the cafe continued until Detective Ta bIer struck up a conversation with Mrs. Pearl Woods, who lived across the highway from the cafe.

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

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

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

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

Each year the number of abused and neglected children reported to law enforcement agencies grows; however, there are no statistics to record the number of cases tha t are not reported. These children suffer, in many cases, irreparable damage to their physical body as well as to their emotional and psychological growth. In order for these children to have at least a fair chance at growing up to a useful life, it will necessitate a concerted effort on the part of the FlOYD POORE citizens of the community.

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

They can see to it by demanding through their legislators that laws are passed to be sure these children are protected, and they can see that the agencies responsible for the care of these children are using all services available for these children.

That is approximately the annual loss in the United States suffered by merchants and banking institutes. Who pays for the high cost of food, clothing, et cetera? You do, the citizen, because the merchant has to raise the costs of his products to help compensate for the loss in merchandise and money by thieves who practice Ute art of "paper hanging". Let's take a look at what the California Penal Code states in regards to the issuance of checks.

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

Brawley Ave. 266-0221 maker or endorser. Let's take a look at what happens when a check bounces on a merchant, and he turns to the law for help. First the check is returned from the bank stamped account closed, or insufficient funds. Upon receiving the check from the bank the merchant is expected to make every effort to contact the issuer of the check, and his efforts should be noted on the proper forms which are obtainable at the law enforcement agency in the respective area . After he has expended all possibilities, the check is turned over to the proper authority for criminal action. On receipt of the check the bank is contacted and a request is placed for information regarding the suspect's account. Prior to November, 1971, the banks were reluctant to reveal any information without a court order. The law now states that any bank or lending institute cannot be held liable for information turned over to a law agency, and if the information received by the agency is made known to anyone outside of the investigating officers, they are liable for a fine and im prisonment. After receiving the information requested it is the duty of the investigating deputy to determine if intent to defraud can be proven.

We are dealing, however, with the subject who needs money, and knows that he can cash a check for X number of dollars and then hope tha t he can stall off the victim on collection. If, from the bank statement of the suspect, it can be proven that he had knowledge at the time that he did not have suffjcient funds to cover the check or that the account was closed at the time he wrote the checks, then the District Attorney is consulted regarding a criminal complaint against the suspect. When the District Attorney reviews the case it is his responsibility to decide if a criminal com plaint will be issued or perhaps the suspect will be cited to the District Attorney to show cause When Hours Count -Call MANPOWER 233-7317 The Very Best In Temporary Help 2133 Kern Street Fresno MASSUCCO'S SUNNYSIDE HARDWARE Sporting Goods -Gifts -Browning Arms Dealer 5570 E.

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

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

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

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

California Ave., Fresno 268-6671 69 the hardest to apprehend due to the nature of his crime and the fact he leaves little in the way of clues for the investigator. He usually works in the dark of night and in remote areas away from concentrations of people or communities. Frequently his theft is not discovered im mediately because the victim does not have a present need for the equipment served by the copper wire lines or does not have occasion to visit these remote areas until the equipment is needed. An irrigation pump or other equipment is only used at certain times of the year. The theft of copper wire can be very dangerous for the thief because most of the thefts are committed against the local electric company. The electricity in these lines is very powerful and dangerous and can electrocute a person or seriously injure them. The copper wire thief knows this and usually has a working knowledge of the electric utility's lines. He can be very efficient and creative in his ways and means of removing the wires from their poles or struc tures. This fact has been proven many times in recent years by the accumulation of homemade tools taken from these offenders when they were CLUB LATINO MEXICAN FOOD BEER -WINE 832 F Street 237-9717 LA PLAZA CLUB BEER -WINE -RECREAnON 931 F Street 486-9817 A Your # 1 Source For ... • Agricultural & Industrial ~ Company Chemicals • Laundry & Dry Cleaning Supplies • Upholstery Fabrics & Supplies Phone 486-1221, VAN WATERS & ROGERS 1152 G St. Fresno 70 \ \ This tool was used by a wire thief [now in jail] to cut wire while standing on the ground.

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

If this gang had used the same amount of effort and time on legitimate jobs or occupations, they could have realized much more than the $100,000, but they preferred the so-called easy way. If they were to calculate the amount of time and labor spent on each job and the amount of time spent in jail or prison, they would find they have been working for about 50 cents per hour.

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

Fresno 222-7794 75 The objective of the program was to reduce burglaries by keeping a constant surveillence on known burglars, keeping up-to-date information on the suspected burglars; vehicles, acquain tances and places where they congregate. Records were kept as to where the stolen goods were being sold and recovered. The results were very impressive, The burglary rate in the control areas dropped by 41 per cent while increasing by 15 per cent in other areas. In the control area most other crimes seemed to drop while the squad was on the streets. Patrol units began to increase their rate of burglary arrests while the Detective Division was solving more cases. The l'easons for the increase in arrests and the drop in the burglary rate was due to the burglars being forced to look back over their shoulders, because they did not know what the squad looked Confinu~d' Dliv.& TO fRESNO'SBEST Clavi.

The burglars were forced off their routine to support their drug habits. Their methods changed. They were forced to take chances. Several arrests were made by the squad and cases solved because the squad was able to work undetected. When arrests were not made, the informa tion was still fed into the computer. The criminals knew that a special squad was in the county and they were being watched closely. The word went out quickly on the criminals' grapevine. -Here are some of the squad's experiences: The squad went to work in a control area with a high burglary rate in the Northwest Metropolitan area. At first, the squad worked the evening hours. A heavy concentration of juveniles was observed in the area, in the late night hours. Drugs, alcohol and expensive cars were prevalent. The first night out, one of the deputies observed a burglary of a garage in progress. The other deputies moved into the area undetected. A patrol unit was requested and the arrests were made of three juveniles. The property taken was recovered. Later that night, several groups of juveniles were observed roaming the streets. Some had alcohol in their possession. A couple of large groups were broken up in front of local stores. The squad called in the pa trol units on each occasion. The juveniles began to wonder how the Sheriff's Department was now seeming to be everywhere. The next two evenings the juvenile activity decreased sharply as the word spread through the schools in the area. However, several young adults were observed driving their vehicles in the residential areas. Patrol units made severa} .. vehicle stops for the squad. These vehicles ap peared to be suspicious in some way. Some of the persons in these vehicles were legitimate but others were known burglars casing the area. Some arrests were made for criminal offenses and pertinent information was compiled for the computer. Some patterns were soon unveiled from this information. By the end of the first week, due to the removal of the juveniles, it was apparent that burglary offenses as well as other crimes were in a downward spiral, especially those of malicious mischief. The curfew law was strictly enforced. The squad switched hours and it was a new problem all over. Most people were legitimate for the area, so now came the task of separating the individuals from outside of the area. The weekends increased the problem with so many people outside in their yards. Late one afternoon, the radio broke the silence :to say that one deputy had observed something 76 Hotpoint Appliances -Furniture • Televisions Bank Financing BRUNO & TELEGAN 335 C Street Ph . 268-7675 BEST WISHES FROM UNIVERSITY -SEQUOIA SUNNYSIDE CLUBS PAUL N.

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

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

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

Neither juvenile played the violin. Both juveniles were detained and separated. In a few minutes the story came out. The Juveniles had just burglarized a garage nearby and figured to sell the violin. During the fifth week the squad was told tha t, due to the lack of funds, the program would definitely end at the end of the eighth week. However, the Department had decided to expand the program while it lasted. The squad swung into action on a greater level. Now the squad would move in on all crimes and make their own arrests. The control areas were continued, but with greater latitude. The techniques changed. The squad would hit an area for a few minutes and then move on. Again, known burglars were stopped. Most were already aware of the presence of a different breed of crime fighter on the streets of Fresno.

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

These suspects usually went to one of the nearby restrooms in a service station or drive-in restaurant to take the drugs. Several arrests were made on these addicts. Many suspects who had been observed in the control areas would show up in this special area. These suspects would sit around in their vehicles. They were attempting to make arrangements for fencing (selling) their stolen Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Fresno goods for drugs. The squad began following these suspects home. With all this information a certam pattern unveiled itself according to the computer. One evening around 6: 30, four deputies moved into this area on foot. Captured there was a long wanted felon. The deputies got right up beside this suspect before he knew it. This is usually very hard to do, because the suspects have a very good lookout system. The Candyman was in the group. He was tapped on the shoulder by a deputy. He turned around and immediately recognized the deputy. At the same time everyone else realized tha t lawmen were in their midst. The deputy talked to the Candyman, but had to let him go beca use there was no legal cause to search him even though it was felt he was loaded with heroin.

Within 30 seconds after the deputies made their move, the area looked deserted. The thirty or so people had disappeared taking their vehicles. Now the parking lot was empty. In cidentally, the addict attempting to make a buy will not go into the area unless there are people standing around. If no one is on the street, the addict knows the vice squad is in the area. That same evening, while the squad was in the area, a known addict and drug pusher approached the area. There was an outstanding warrant for his arrest. He immediately realized something was wrong. Two deputies closed in on him. He had his hands in his coat pockets.

He faced one deputy directly. The other deputy stepped away to confirm the warrant via radio. The deputy using the radio looked back at the suspect and realized he had a possible weapon in that pocket. The suspect was disarmed of a fully-loaded .25 caliber automatic gun. The suspect was arrested on the warrant and for carrying a concealed weapon. Due to the information that was compiled on these suspects in this area, one burglary ring was broken up and well over 100 burglaries were solved. Three months after the squad was disbanded, the drug pusher, Candyman, was taken to an airplane en route to prison by one of the deputies. The Candyman had the following comments about the squad: "Those undercover deputies had made it real rough on the burglars. The burglars passed the word to move inside the city limits and not to move through the county islands. When the narcotics addicted burglars were slowed down or put out of business, it made my business pretty rough as I had contracts to meet. My business dropped way off. Drug traffic at the meeting place was very hard to move because very few C OlllilJlled LA TABA TIERE precious crystals & pewter -fine pipes meerschaum & briar choice cigars and tobaccos AGNES NAZAR phone : (209) 268-2627 815 East Olive Ave., Fresno, California 93728 FRESNO EQUIPMENT CO.

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

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

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

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

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

These two examples are just sequels of 20 to 25 incidents I have encountered, and could have been prevented with a little preparation and the use of common sense. . When individuals use the Kings River for a recreational area such as for rafting, canoeing, swimming, and fishing, many of the hazards that they will encounter are not always visible. The major hazards for the swimmers and the fishermen are the extreme cold and swift moving water. There are also numerous deep holes and slick rocks in some areas that appear to be shallow and calm. For the individuals that use the river for a passageway, the coldness of the water, its swiftness, and the overhanging branches seem to interfere with their navigation. Then there are the rapids, a number of weirs, and the eddies that are obvious hazards to the waterway. One of the most dangerous hazards, in my opinion, is the Alta Weir.

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

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

Children, in their excitement, can't wait to ex plore their new surroundings. This first en counter with the thrill of the moment is often the most troublesome, for basic survival techniques are often overlooked. The basic techniques are simply a matter of getting your bearings, knowing where you are in relation to major landmarks. Good outdoorsmen will pick a prominent landmark and use this as a guide. Your campsite's location in respect to this landmark is a constant guide back to your starting point. If your campsite is some distance from your landmark, pick two or three land marks, which allow you to trianculate and know where your starting point was. A.

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

Unfortunately, the several official investigations by the Department and various other agencies, which proved the many accusations, allegations, innuendos, and just plain lies were nothing but deliberately planned propaganda, didn't receive nearly as much publicity as did the complaints which made them necessary. Therefore, some citizens not familiar with the operation of the Security Division and Industrial Farm may wonder if there was any justification for the claims of unfair and im proper treatment.

Church at S. Fruit 485-5310 GENE HALLAM Along with other Department, the Security person directly responsible for-the conduct of its officers, I am naturally speaking from a biased position. However, I feel I can be objective in an analysis of jail conditions, and can honestly reassure the citizens of Fresno County that the people they have employed to operate their correctional facilities are doing a good job. Long before the new Minimum Jail Standards law, which went into effect early last year, forced many agencies throughout the state to drastically revise their jail operating procedures, Sheriff Willmirth had instilled in his correctional personnel the philosophy tha t no matter what an inmate is accused or convicted of, nor what his attitude and behavior are, he is a human being and is to be treated accordingly. Conlil/lled TRACTORS -LOADERS -SCRAPERS FRESNO EQUIPMENT RENTAL 251,·8025 i 1463 N. MAPLE AVE. Between Olive & McKinle y 117 For that reason, the new standards imposed no particular hardship or revolutionary effect on our operation. Most of the improvements they mandated had either already been made, or were being planned. We have been told by both state and federal jail inspectors that our facilities and our methods and philosophies of operation are among the most progressive in the state and nation. As for specific complaints made by certain members of the United Farm Workers, let's take a look at them one by one. Medical Care It was amaiing that out of a group of people healthy enough to walk a picket line in the hot sun, and presumably capable of doing hard physical labor in orchards and vineyards, so many complained of diseases requiring medical attention as soon as they were incarcerated. The Union claimed such attention was not provided. These are the facts. Each inmate is informed when booked that if he needs medical attention, he has only to make a request and he will be examined and treated by the jail physician. If he needs treatment more extensive than can be given in the jail infirmary, or if emergency treatment is required when the jail physician is not on duty, he will be taken to Valley Medical Center. Few of the strikers in custody took ad vantage of that opportunity, but expressed a desire to be treated by the union physician. This was satisfactory to us; the law provides that an inmate may be treated by a physician of his choice at his own expense. It does not require that the jail furnish treatment facilities for an outside physician. However, in this instance we went far beyond the requirements of the law, by making the jail infirmary available to the union phYSician. Our only stipulation was that he schedule his visits for afternoons and evenings, so they wouldn't conflict with regular jail sick call, which is held each morning. Deputies plan and prepare to handle the incoming strikers after the arrests for violations of the law were made.

Railroad Ave., Fresno 264-6320 Compliments JOHN A. KOCHERGAN 119 In spite of this gesture, the union physician publicly accused us of refusing to cooperate. He continually complained because he wasn't permitted to go into the cell blocks to interview and examine prospective patients. On the one occasion he was allowed to do so, he immediately began shouting union slogans, encouraging the inmates to continue their resistance to the law, and discussing matters totally unrelated to their medical problems. That his complaints were not sincere, but were made only to gain public sympathy for the farm workers' cause, is indicated by the fact that after the strike was over, he wrote us a letter thanking us for our assistance and cooperation. Legal Counsel There was also an allegation that strikers in custody were not allowed adequate legal counsel. The law requires generally that any inmate may be visited and interviewed by his attorney at any time the attorney so desires, and that any request by an inmate to call his attorney must be complied with. It is also legally per missible for a law student who has reached a certain level of education to interview an inmate, if he is doing so on behalf of a sponsoring a t torney, and the inmate is the attorney's client. There is no requirement that we permit either attorneys or law students to visit a group of in mates to see if any are in need of their services. During the period when the strikers were in custody, several union a ttorneys and a group of young people who identified themselves as law students affiliated with the union had access to the jail at any time of the day or night. They were permitted to enter the cell blocks where strikers were confined and talk to them individually or collectively. We offered no objection when they, like the physician, appeared to be discussing matters far beyond the scope of legal counsel. To my knowledge , no striker in custody ever made a request to be contacted by a specific attorney.

Personal Visits In this category, too, we went out of our way to assure that each striker inmate had more than legally required visiting privileges. Jail visiting rules, sanctioned by the Minimum Standards law, provide that each inmate may have two 20 minute visits per week, from among three persons he chooses and designates when he is booked. The strikers were booked in such numbers there wasn't time to prepare visiting cards, so in their case the rules were virtually suspended. Not only did we allow them as many visits as we had time and personnel to handle; we also permitted them visits outside regular visiting hours. We didn't have time to keep records of who visited whom, so we don't know how many visits each striker received. However, we're certain that if anyone of them didn't receive his quota of visits during his in carceration, it was because not enough people asked to see him. Telephone Calls The law requires only that an inmate be permitted to make two telephone calls within three hours after he is booked. Our rule is tha t additional calls may be permitted in emergency situations, but at the discretion of the Watch Commander, and the convenience of the jail staff. We don't generally allow inmates to receive calls from the outside, because we don't have the personnel to handle the extra workload it would entail. Again we ignored both rules, and permitted the striker inmates to use the telephone as often as time and other duties permitted, for both outgoing and incoming calls. ~ Some of those booked at the Industrial Farm may not have made their initial calls within the prescribed time, but it was only because there was only one trunk line available there, and when a large group was booked it was impossible for all to use the phone within three hours. Food and Living Conditions There was some complaining about food and the condition of the cell blocks where strikers were housed. They were fed as often as the regular inmates, from the jail menu, which has been checked and approved for quality, quantity, and variety by a dietitian from the Fresno County Health Department. Even those who were housed in temporary quarters at the fairgrounds were given hot meals. Some of the cell blocks used to house strikers wouldn't have passed inspection and been ap proved for use under normal conditions. They were those which are scheduled for remodeling, 1739 E.

They were ac· ceptable for use in an emergency situation such as existed a t the time. The walls needed pain ting, a few light fixtures were broken, and there was some leakage in the plumbing. However, they were reasonably clean when the inmates were admitted. A few inmates didn't have mattresses for a day or so, simply because we didn't have enoug mattresses on hand for such an unexpected increase in jail population. Those without mattresses were given extra blankets, so no one was required to sleep on a bare bunk or floor. That situation was rectified as soon as possible by borrowing mattresses from other agencies. Even those housed at the fairgrounds were in a clean, air-conditioned room with plenty of restrooms, drinking fountains, and a telephone they were permitted to use. Religious Services The Minimum Standards Law makes no definite provisions for religious activities. It is customary in most jails that church groups from the community are permitted to conduct ser vices on a regular basis for the inmates who are interested and whose attendance will not con COn/inlied OUR SALUTE TO THE FRESNO COUNTY SHERIFF'S AERO SQUADRON De,nair Aviation.

In the Fresno County Jail, and also at the Industrial Farm, several such groups come in each week. Most jails, including ours, also extend to ministers the same visiting privileges as attorneys, permitting them to visit their own parishioners or others who have requested their counsel at any time. Among the strikers who insisted on being arrested and booked into jail were several members of a well-known religious organization. Because they refused to be released on their own recognizance, they were in custody for several days. During that time we permitted them to conduct daily services for themselves and the other strikers, and even assisted them in acquiring necessary supplies and paraphernalia. The religious people were, for the most part, cooperative with and courteous to the jail per sonnel. They were also some of our most severe critics. Physical Treatment Although no more false than the others, the accusation which caused us the most concern was that the strikers were subjected to physical mistreatment and abuse while in custody. The charges were so ridiculous they'd have been humorous had they not been so potentially harmful to the reputations of the officers in volved, and to the public image of the Depart ment. For instance, one young man claimed he had been beaten and his arm twisted in such a manner that he was unable to use it. An examination at Valley Medical Center showed there was no injury. The criminologist assisting in the Department's investigation of the alleged incident took one photograph of him with his arm dangling at his side, then said to him, "Now take off your tee shirt so I can see if there are any marks on your back." With no hesitation he raised both arms above his head and removed the shirt. Generally, with the exception of a few agitators, the strikers were so good-natured and cooperative after arrest there was no occasion for jail officers to even use stern language, much less resort to physical force. The charges were based mainly upon an incident which occurred on the evening of July 21, in a maximum security cellblock in which a small group of agitators had been placed to keep them from inciting the main body of strikers. The group started a fire in the cellblock hallway, with blankets and mattresses for fuel. Within minutes the cellblock and ad jacent hallways were filled with smoke. Officers brought in a fire hose and extinguishers and quickly put out the fire, but the smoke remained, seriously impairing visibility and making breathing extremely difficult. 122 K's BOUTIQUE AND CIGAR STAND at the Hilton Hotel Gift items • lingerie • costume jewel,ry • etc. 1055 Van Ness Ave., Fresno 264-0473 J. &S.

Willmirth on behalf of the law enforcement profession. On July 21, 1973, Jack Rustigan observed two men carrying property from a neighbor's home while the neighbor was absent. He immediately took them into custody and held them until members of the Sheriff's Department arrived and arrested them. His alertness and the courage he displayed prevented the successful commission of a serious crime and resulted in the return of stolen property from two burglaries. His willingness to become involved in preventing a criminal act graphically illustrates how members of society can, through par ticipation and courageous action, effectively support police efforts to maintain public safety and community order. !-7fJetWe!t '4 If TREE SERVICE fA "WE SPECIALIZE IN" Ef •TREE REMOVAL • TOPPING ~ • STUMPRfMOVAL 4\ • TRIMMING STATE LICENSED -INSURED PL&PD FREE ESTIMATES GLADLY GIVEN 2837 So.

COMMERCIAL. SUMPS • RESIDENTI'AL While saddled with this responsibility, law enforcement agencies have had limited options for dealing with these youngsters. Usually they have handled these cases by informal coun seling, reprimanding and releasing, or if necessary, citing on to the juvenile justice system through probation. A limited number of cases have been referred to Mental Health or counseling agencies. While recognizing that many of these youngsters and their families needed counseling services, unfortunately past experience with mental health agencies has been poor. Officers have been in the dark regarding the results of the referrals, and they are left with discomfort regarding their efforts. Oftentimes clients do not follow through on these referrals, or if they do, they do not stay in treatment long enough to make substantial gains. Sometimes poor results of referrals are because officers are not trained in properly preparing clients for work with another agency. People associate mental health agencies with being "crazy," and an automatic resistance to such help takes place. Good referrals require skill and patience, especially when referring to mental health agencies. Generally the total experience of referring people to mental health agencies from law en forcement agencies has not been a satisfactory one for the people referring, the client, or the mental health therapist who is trying to provide services. It is not surprising, then, that law enforcement personnel have been reluctant to make referrals, even though they may recognize the need for such services. Faced with this unfavorable situation, the authors felt that there might be a better and more effective way of providing needed coun seling services to cl ients of law enforcement agencies. The initial concern was that law en forcement personnel have no available im mediate resources. Referrals to outside agencies did not work because of negative feelings toward COII/llllled PAINTING, ALL TYPES GLASS INSTALLATION G &: G AUTO BODY Insurance Estimates :: All Work Guaranteed No Job Too Large, None Too Small Owners -Gerald Ward -Gary Eggert 1567 N.

It is well known that when people are in crisis, their chronit: difficulties, habitual personality problems and long-standing concerns are not as easily disguised and are more easily observable to others. They are also usually more open to outside help. Intervention at this point has a greater chance of success than later when the crisis has cooled, the pain eased and motivation for help consequently lessened. Aware of the negative feeling many people have about the words "mental health," it was felt that if these services could be provided in the law enforcement agency, rather than in a mental health clinic, there might be fewer negative feelings and consequently less resistance to counseling. It was felt that attitudinal difficulties which existed between law enforcement and mental health which interfered with their cooperation might be reduced or eliminated if the counselor worked in the law enforcement setting and came to be better known and himselfto better know the people he worked with. Sometimes familiarity breeds contempt, but we hoped that it would engender mutual respect and understanding. With these ideas in mind, support was obtained in 1972 from both the Fresno County Sheriff's Department and the Fresno County Mental Health Department for a psychiatric social worker to spend one day a week in the Sheriff's Department to provide counseling services to children and families who would have contact with the Youth Services Bureau. The service is voluntary, and there is no .. coercion involved. Families are informed that the service is available to them if they wish to use it. There is a maximum of six interviews, and if further services are needed, the family is helped to find services elsewhere. During the initial phase of this program, which lasted about one and one-half years, over 100 families, or over 300 people, have been served. Referrals to the juvenile justice system have fallen appreciably, and the recidivistic ra te of those youngsters served has been nearly zero. About 10 per cent of the families seen were 1949 S.

Certainly all problems cannot be prevented. Life is a problem solving process, and childhood and adolescence are periods of dynamic growth fraught with problems and difficulties. Early and appropriate intervention can prevent the complication of current problems and teach people ways of solving future problems. There has been a significant reduction in negative attitudes regarding counseling ser vices. There have been only a few cases of refusal to accept the service.

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

In 1973 the Special Investiga tions Detail handled a substantial increase in cases over the previous year. A large percentage of these cases went to trial, forcing the personnel to spend many hours in courtrooms, off the streets. Before going to court, usually several hours are needed to prepare the case. However, the time was well spent as a high percentage of the suspects were found guilty of various crimes. The men in this detail spend an average of between 40 and 60 hours a week on duty plus always being subject to an immediate call back to duty at any time. Any police department in the county may call for their assistance for in vestigation in their related fields. Besides working with the county police departments, the detail works closely with state and federal law enforcement agencies. This detail is under the immediate direction of Sheriff Willmirth.

There were two purposes which led to the formation of the Post. First, the Sheriff's Department wanted to establish a positive relationship with the young men in the community. The second objective was to get young men interested in a career in law enforcement and to encourage them to pursue their education, and possibly return to the Sheriff's Department as full-time deputies. Our present advisors, Deputies Gerald Gallagher and Harry Massucco, help coordinate activities for the Post and assist in areas per taining to law enforcement. Our advisors are always looking for new recruits. Anyone in terested should contact the Sheriff's Depart ment. All potential recruits are required to complete an application form. A thorough background check is made. All applicants are then further screened by means of an oral in terview. When all new recruits have been chosen, the Sheriff's Department invites the parents of the recruits to a meeting where the program is explained to them in detail. In order for the affairs of the Post to be han dled properly and efficiently, a chain of com mand has been formed similar to that of the Sheriff's Department. Members of the Post have received in-depth instruction on subjects such as first aid, the Continued VENDO COMPANY PINEDALE PLANT PINEDALE, CALJF. 153 Vehicle Code, the Penal Code, radio procedures, combat techniques, and all divisions within the Sheriff's Department. The Post has been involved in many activities during the past year. The Explorer Deputies were asked to assist in crowd control during the Miller-Johnson Circus. The Post participated in a car safety rally. Some of the deputies have donated their time along with our advisors to take students from the Kelso School to the circus, on fishing trips, and out to the industrial farm. Picnics and various tours through different facilities have also taken place. The Post Deputies now have several additions to their duties and responsibilities, such as an swering the telephones in the information section of operations in the Sheriff's Department. Besides taking stolen bicycle reports and house security checks, we also lead tours through the Sheriff's Department. The Explorers Post has expanded since last year to include Female Advisor Rachel Davision and several female explorers. Also plans are being considered to establish more Sheriff's Explorers Posts throughout the county. The Sheriff's executive committee, our post advisors, and all of our post deputies would like to express our sincere appreciation and thanks to the Fresno County Deputy Sheriff's Association, who were so generous in the needed financial support of the post.

Deputy Explorers are non-compensated. New members are expected to furnish their own uniforms and equipment upon acceptance into the program, but special considerations can be arranged for those who cannot afford the initial costs. New Fresno Sheriff's Department Explorers receive basic instruction in most phases of law enforcement including crime prevention, nar cotics, juvenile procedures, report writing, and other fascinating related fields which are an important part of law enforcement. Explorers who are interested in law enforcement as a career find the Law Enforcement Explorers Program is an advanced step for a future in volvement as a law enforcement officer. For those who decide on a career outside of law enforcement, they will find that they have gained an insight and understanding of their govern ment which will allow them to better discharge their obligations as citizens.

The only exception is 526 hours in 1973, logged for security purposes during the United Farm Workers strike between August 2 and August 12. The unit's size usually runs between 35 and 45 members. Between 8,500 and 9,000 man-hours were put in to help the Department with its workload and needs. Each man buys his own uniform, leather, headgear and sidearm. He is one of the unsung extra law enforcement arms of the Fresno County Sheriff's Department. All members work full time at their regular occupation or profession by which to make a living for their respective families. This Reserve Unit was originally formed and activated by Captain Robert Saum with the help of the late Tom Nix by authority of Sheriff Melvin A. Willmirth and is now in its 16th year of operation, an operation in its highest form of dedication. A-l ROOFING CO.

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

When an officer makes himself available to youth programs of any kind, the benefits are mutual. Young people cannot help but be in fluenced seeing "the man" out from behind the badge, on his own time, making an effort to help youths with learning and just having fun. These youths involved spread the word, and the officer win never know how many young people he will never have to take into custody because of time he put in showing them alternatives to being a "bad kid." Clovis officers have given of themselves freely in many programs affiliated with the Depart ment, often on their own time and money. The Clovis Police School Resources Program is going into its fourth year, and its effects are visible in the community.

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

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

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

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

Patrolman Tom Phillips was promoted tu Sergeant, and a gradual employee turnover has resulted in the hiring of five new officers. Crime has shown a substantial decrease, particularly in burglaries. A new crime prevention program has contributed gre~tly. to this decreas~. The school system is now enjoying a School Resource Program, which was received remarkably well by students and faculty. The City of Kingsburg continues to grow and is now approaching the 4,500 mark. The City Council approved an extra position so that during most of the year, at east one officer is able to attend some type of training school. The Council two years ago adopted the Peace Officers Standards &Training (POST) charter and now officers are able to take advantage of the many POST B. SPEER Dispatcher certified courses. The most significant change, under the direction of Chief of Police John Swenning, is the completion of a new 1,800-square-foot police building. The building consists of 15 rooms, in cluding three detention cells, a conference room, a records room, and a large, modern operations area. The building was added on to the Fire Station, thus combining all city emergency and public safety services.

Eddie Porras Chief of Police Silverio Sanchez for the second year has steadily upgraded the Department in police work and education. His first year saw him planning for the future through various administration changes and innovation of new training programs. The training and education has begun to pay, resulting in more efficient work attained in less time. This being ac complished, the patrolmen have more time to work on projects in which they can best assist the citizens and youth of Mendota. Chief Sanchez implemented an 18-year-old auxiliary force and a cadet unit. After their training, they were given work to perform. In 1973 Officers John Swimley, George Ortiz, Juan Amador, and Robert Rosenhagen attended the Basic Police Officers Standard Training Academy in Fresno. Several officers attended a tear gas training class given by the Fresno Sqeriff's Department.

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

Businessmen of Mendota suffered financially in not being able t@ capitalize on business transactions with the people due to less work being available. The strikers had less money too. The City of Mendota suffered the consequences as it had to payout overtime to its officers on strike details. The youth of Mendota lost the services of Eddie Porras and Alvaro Rossette due to the strike. They missed not being able to supervise the Little League teams. Mendota Police Department would like to thank the Firebaugh Police Department and the Fre~no County Sheriff's Department for making their personnel available when needed in case of outbreaks in our city.

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

Mendota Growing The City of Mendota in the last two years has been growing rapidly. There have been ap proximately 225 houses built during this period. With the growth of the town, the need grows for more police protection and crime prevention. The Police Department has not remained idle. It has improved its functional operations, con sistent with the administration's policies and guidelines since 1970. Such technological achievements have included: 1. The modernization of our Investigative and Identification Laboratory. The Mendota Police Department purchased an enlarger worth $600, which now allows us to develop our own department's pictures and also enables us to photograph the minutest fingerprint or foot prints. We now are also equipped with specialized photographic equipment. Numerous cases have been solved by our department's Investigative Laboratory personnel through the fingerprint point identification system. 2.

So under the guidance of Sergeant Don Lemley, approximately 14 men got together to form a softball team. The team would practice during the week and play a challenge game on Sunday mornings. Our first game was against a team playing in the Men's Division of the City Recreation League. The team looked impressive for their first game and was able to maintain an early lead to win the game by a score of 7 to 5. The following Sunday we met the arch-rival Fresno Police Department. After playing six complete innings, the game was stopped as we had to go to work. The score, in case you are wondering, was Sheriffs, 7 -Police, 2.

Henderson 864-3057 Caruthers, Calif. 200 . , In Fresno County FARM LABOR DISPUTE During the summer of 1973, Fresno County experienced its second farm labor dispute. The first such encounter was three years ago when the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee sought to unionize farm workers on selected farms throughout the valley. The result of the first effort was the signing of contracts with many farms and farm groups. These same contracts expired during 1973, and efforts to renew them were not successful. The Union, led by Cesar Chavez, called for a general strike against agriculture. The primary difference between the strike of three years ago and the strike of 1973 was that selected targets (certain farms) were the objectives of the Union in 1969 and 1970. During 1973 any and all farms were potential strike targets. Consequently, all farmers, . regardless of . acreage, could be picketed. Roving caravans of strikers drove the countryside seeking fields in which workers were present and set up their picket lines whenever they found field hands.

Tohoe Ave. Res. 227·2366 Coruthers 201 This tactic was used by the Union with as many as five or six caravans of 25-50 cars each seeking workers throughout the day. As a result, the Sheriff's Department was required to keep patrol units with each caravan to maintain the peace. This was a most difficult task as allegations of threats, reports of violence and other aggravations were numerous. It was found that by having an officer present the behavior of all participants was considerably better than when an officer was not present. Many reports of threats to workers and workers' families occurred at the workers' homes, over the phone or when the worker and family were shopping. Allegations tha t strikers and workers were being denied the rights guaranteed by the Constitution were common, and often such aUega tions were used as a defense for aggressive and questionable activity. It appeared to many observers that those who complained the loudest about being denied their rights were the ones most flagrantly violating Continued KLEPPER RANCHES CARUTHERS Best Wishes SOUTHDOWN LAND CO. 7719 W. KAMM AVE. CARUTHERS and denying these same rights to others. As the strike activity continued, it appeared that the objective of the Union changed from organizing farm labor to challenging the "Rule of Law" concept. Some observers felt that the farm labor platform was just a ruse to camouflage a political, economical and social reform movement whose objectives went far beyond the farm labor problem. The make-up of those rallying to the cause of the farm worker and those taking advantage of its forum would lend support to such conclusions in many instances. A notable difference in the make-up of the participants during the strike of 1969 and 1970 and the strike of 1973 was observed. During the strike of three years ago, many pickets were local farm laborers. They were far more responsible and less violent in their at titudes and actions than those who made up the picket lines in 1973. Many of the strikers on the line during the past summer had obviously never worked on a farm. Others were farm laborers but not local residents. Most were "Green Card" holders from Mexico. This change in the make up of the supporters of the cause contributed to the potential for violence and irresponsible acts by those participating. IIBRRA PRINTING Ie LITHOGRAPH CO.

They impressed all who witnessed their actions by the manner in which they restrained and controlled their supporters, which contributed greatly to the overall stability of the situation. It is possible that this action on the part of the farmers resulted in the farm labor organizers changing their target and attacking the so-called "Establishment" instead of the farmer. The "Rule of Law" became the object of their tac tics, their challenge of the courts' restraining orders and the propaganda campaign embarked upon was a significant insight into the depth of their dedication and a revelation of their "total" purpose. There were certain observations made which leads one to believe that when subjected to the test of truth, the claims of "workers being op pressed and victimized" were found lacking. The clergy who came in considerable numbers also left in considerable numbers without becoming involved. Others stayed and learned. They found that there were two sides to the controversy and that much of the information they had received was not factual. One priest confided to this writer that they had been in structed not to talk to the farmers or others outside the Union after some appeared to be having second thoughts. There was some ap parent truth to this, as it was observed that the clergy were mixed in among other pickets from then on, instead of compiling a picket line made up predominately of the clergy. It would appear that the summer of 1974 will bring more of the same to Fresno County. Again we will face a barrage that challenges each of us and severely tests our system of government. Once again it will be the individual acting with compassion, restraint and an abiding dedication to the truth that will sustain and provide equal rights to all. This is the strength of our system of government, and each time it is tested it gains strength for the next challenge. MIKE MIYAMOTO Excavating -Grading -Paving 6369 N.
