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

The County lost an experienced law enforcement officer because of his untimely death. Bill was born July 14, 1935, in Muncie, Indiana. He was raised in California and at tended Coalinga High School and West Hills Junior College. He started his law enforcement career in June 1959, when he joined the Coalinga Police Department as a patrolman. In February 1966, he became a Deputy Constable for Tom Quinney, the then-incapacitated Constable for the large Coalinga Judicial District. When Quinney died, the Board of Supervisors appointed Bill to the office of Constable. He remained in that capacity and was elected once in his own right in 1972. When the Constable's offices were incorporated into the Sheriff's Department, Bill was assigned to the Firebaugh area as a Deputy, and he served in that capacity until his death. Bill is survived by his wife Judy, two teen-age sons, Lawrence and Brian, and one sister, Joanne Norton. Both his mother and father are deceased. Masonic services were held February 27, 1974, in Coalinga, and his fellow officers turned out in his honor in such numbers that there was standing room only at the church. Bill's 141/2 years of public service were enlarged by his activities as a Mason, Shriner and Elks member. He is sorely missed by family and friends. GILBERT ROCHA Gilbert Rocha was born in Fresno March 18, 1948. Gilbert attended Fresno High School and graduated in 1965. After graduation, he joined the United States Army to fulfill his military obligation. During his three years, Gilbert was assigned to the Military Police Section, where he received training in law enforcement. Since childhood Gilbert had wanted to become a policeman or deputy sheriff in Fresno County. He served his three years honorably and after his release, he enrolled at Fresno City College since college units are required to become a Deputy Sheriff. Gilbert joined the Fresno County Sheriff's Reserve Unit and also worked part-time as a State Ranger at Millerton Lake. During the time he was a Reserve Officer, he was called on many times to fill a regular officer's position in the Fresno County jail. In 1973, his dream came true when he passed the written examination and became a regular officer for the Fresno County Sheriff's Department. He was assigned to the Fresno County jail and while there received a certificate for suc cessfully completing a course in jail operations. On April 7, 1974, Gilbert was on his way to work when he was involved in a fatal vehicle accident. The men who worked with him found him to be an outstanding officer, a man who had a special kind of understanding for his fellow man. Gilbert will be remembered by the men at the Sheriff's Department. Ii, F D D di fo FI n Fr Hi 10 No one person in Fresno County has as many lives and emergencies to contend with as the Fresno County Sheriff's Department Dispatcher. He coordinates the Sheriff's Department patrolmen in the field, and he dispatches all emergency ambulance requests for the entire county, including the City of Fresno. He has hotlines to the Fresno Fire Department for fire and resuscitator cans, the Fresno Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, the ambulance companies and WESTERn AERO.

He coordinates operations between the California Highway Patrol, the Fresno Police Department and all city police departments in the county. The job is endless and the paperwork is unreal -it is necessary to record each step of the operation, sometimes in three different forms for the same call.

His first function is to direct and coordinate the patrolmen in the field. On each watch he usually has five patrolmen in the metropolitan area, plus approximately twelve patrolmen in the rest of Fresno County. The dispatcher talks to the public and at the same time monitors the Sheriff's Department radio band regarding traffic with the patrolmen. As he talks to the public about a call, he might be reading a board on the radio console and dispatching a patrolman on a previously received call. He has to decide instantaneously what is an emergency call and act accordingly. Report calls take second place to emergency calls. For instance, a murder takes precedence over a call on a burglary that has already occurred. A burglary in progress call takes priority over a burglary report call. A fight in progress is more urgent than a stolen bicycle call. However, to each person calling the Fresno County Sheriff's Department Dispatcher, his call is an emergency. The public must realize that the dispatcher does all he can to help but cannot work PHONE 268·8848 7707 S. ELM AVE. FRESNO, CALIF. 93706 EASTON LUMBER & ACE HARDWARE CO.

Sometimes when the public calls in, the dispatcher is forced to ask if the call is an emergency and if not, he puts the call on hold. The dispatcher has six lines to the public and seven direct lines (hotlines) to other agencies on his telephone console. He has a headset telephone and while he is talking to you, he might be walking over to a large map to check your call for county or city jurisdiction. While talking to you he might put you on hold to dispatch a patrolman into your area for your call and then again you might have to wait an hour or two for the patrolman to arrive to take a report call. Daytime is the worst because most metropolitan patrolmen are going from one report call to another because the crime happened during the night and was not discovered until the next morning. Insurance calls take up most of the patrolmen's time. Insurance companies take many man-hours away from patrolling by requiring a police report on stolen items where there is no evidence of theft. Insurance companies should have their own forms and reports that would continued Bill's Furniture &AppHance Center G.E. -RCA Firestone Tires -Complete line of Furniture NOW TWO lOCATIONS 333 E.

It is quite evident that the patrolman is doing the insurance companies' paperwork. This adds to the dispatcher's problems because he knows that each time a patrolman is sent on a report call, the patrolman will be out of service for about an hour. It would seem that the insuran~e industry could provide a short form that would be sufficient. If a patrolman needs help, the dispatcher's job is to get him help immediately. Sometimes it seems the dispatchers work miracles and pull help out of their hats. The men and ad ministration of the local California Highway Patrol deserve a big thank-you for their never ending assists to our deputies. The dispatcher sighs with relief when the California Highway Patrol hotline rings and informs him that they have an officer in the deputy's area and assistance is already on its way. The same goes for our dispatcher when he hears the California Highway Patrolman requesting an' assist. It is definitely a good feeling for a patrolman stopping a vehicle to look up and see the amber parking lights of the California Highway Patrol continued CUSTOM BUILDERS BOB MAGILL 226-7611 5088 No. FRESNO FRESNO CARPENTIER'S SPORTING GOODS EXPERT GUNSMITHING Guns -Ammunition -Fishing Tackle Phone 255-8547 4502 E.

Another thing the dispatcher contends with is what to do when all patrolmen are on calls and a real emergency comes in. The dispatcher has to make fast decisions and reroute patrolmen. It is nothing unusual for the patrolman to go into the 6th, 7th, or even 8th hour of his work day before he gets lunch because of the steady stream of calls he has to answer. Another responsibility of the dispatcher is getting supporting personnel, such as detec tives, criminologists, vice squad and super visors, to the crime scenes when they are needed. The Fresno County Sheriff's Department dispatcher also dispatches all emergency ambulance calls in Fresno County. If you live inside the Fresno city limits, this is what happens when you request an ambulance from the Fresno Police Department. The Fresno Police Department dispatcher takes your call for the ambulance. He picks up a hoUine to the Sheriff's Department dispatcher and relays the ~~1UR£~ VALLEY'S LARGEST COMPLETE MOTORHOME Trailer & Camper Recreation Center {,~~~J~~., .;J Exclusive Motorhome Dealers For : Sportcoach~RolI·a ·long.

The dispatcher then picks up a hotline to the ambulance company and again the message is relayed. After the ambulance is on its way, the dispatcher must fill out three different forms -one for the Fresno County Sheriff's Department records, one for the daily log, and one so the ambulance company will get paid by the county. All of this paperwork takes time to complete. If you are injured in an automobile accident in the county, again the Sheriff's dispatcher dispatches an ambulance to you. For example, if the accident were in the outlying area, the California Highway Patrol would arrive on the scene and request an ambulance. The California Highway Patrol dispatcher picks up the hotline and contacts our dispatcher. He finds the location of the accident on the map and then dispatches the proper ambulance by the Sheriff's Department's radio. Again the paperwork must be done. On some ambulance calls, the dispatcher also dispatches the Fresno Fire Department or continued RAINTREE TABLES Buckeye Tables 1377 No. Rowell Ave . 251-0442 Fresno SAF -T -CAB, INC. 268-5541 3241 So.

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

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

Those agencies represented were police departments of Clovis, Coalinga, Parlier, Selma, Sanger and Fresno; the Fresno California Highway Patrol, P.G.&E., Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railroads, and the California Division of Forestry. The seminar, a 40-hour training session, consisted of three days of classroom study covering such areas as the nomenclature of explosives and clandestine devices, special handling techniques, bomb scene incidents, evidence investigation, damage control, and team concept. The latter, Mallory suggests, is the most important, and the basic reason for the seminar. "We have three agents within our five-county jurisdiction to handle such in cidents as may present themselves, and there is just no way to do a proper job without the help of you men here in attendance.

Class study. was intense, with everyone in attendance quick to realize that the subject matter being presented was for a purpose vital to any and all explosive investigations. Each sequence of the course outline related to the next, so strict attention was vital. Each in structor was well prepared and very knowledgeable ill his field. Although the hours were long, the time passed quickly as class interest mounted with each passing day. "When we get through with you guys," con tinued Mallory, "you will not only be able to investigate a bomb scene properly, but will also be able to tell what the bomb consisted of, where it was placed, how it was contained, how much as well as what kind of charge was used. Bombers today are a screwy bunch of people with various psychologies and motivations. Some do it for the excitement, others merely for destruction. Other causes, especially in the early 70's, were anti-war and symbolic etiological factors. Whatever the reason, they continued S tt)i~~}3'wal'ialt II\'u.~e. RESTAURANT.

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

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

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

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

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

We in law enforcement also know that drugs and people who use or deal in drugs playa large part in many other crimes that support the drug industry. Drug users and drug dealers depend almost 100% on thefts to support their habits and to support the dealers. A recent homicide case in Fresno County illustrated the connection between homicide and drugs and the attributes of money, greed and passion. One person lost his life because of his failure to pay money owed for drugs to a dealer. Another person lost his freedom because of his greed for continued ,EI Jardin de Verano LAS PALMAS Especial para las familias Bailes Todo Los Dias Prestamos el Jardin para Fiestas y Banquetes Lo Unico que se les cobra es por 10 que consuman LAS PALMAS RESTAURANT 1045 F Street.

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

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

Persons such as myself, members of the academic community, have traditionally been quick to find fault with the police. From isolated incidents reported in the various news media, we have fashioned for ourselves a stereotyped image of the police officer which conveniently conforms to our notions of what he is. We see the brutal cop, the racist cop, the grafting cop, the discourteous cop. What we do not see, however, is the image of thousands of dedicated men and women struggling against almost impossible odds to preserve our society and everything in it which we cherish. For some years, first as a student and later as a professor of criminology, I found myself troubled by the fact that most of us who write books and articles on the police have never been policemen ourselves.

Time and again, they would respond to my frequently critical lectures on the police with the argument that I could not possibly understand what a police officer has to endure in modern society until I had been one myself. Under the weight of this frustration, and my personal conviction that knowledge has an applied as well as a theoretical dimension, I decided to take up this challenge: I would become a policeman myself as a means of establishing once and for all the accuracy of what I and other criminologists had been saying about the police for so long. From Professor to Cop Suffice it to say that my announced intention to become a uniformed patrolman was at first met with fairly widespread disbelief on the part of family, friends, and colleagues alike. At 31, with a family and an established career as a criminologist, I was surely an unlikely can didate for the position of police recruit. The very idea, it was suggested to me, was outrageous and absurd. I was told that no MICHAEL'S MARKET 425 W. Shields Ave., Fresno VAN'S MARKET 1808 W.

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

Upon learning of my desire to become a police officer in order to better understand the problems of policemen, he urged me to contact Sheriff Dale Carson and Undersheriff O.K.

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

Much to my surprise. both Sheriff Carson and Undersheriff Brown were not only sup portive but enthusiastic as well over my proposal to become a city patrolman. I made it clear to them at the outset that I did not wish to function as an observer or reserve officer, but rather wanted to become a fully sworn and full time member of their department for a period of between 4 and 6 months. I further stated that I hoped to spend most of this period working as a uniformed patrolman in those inner city beats most characterized by violence, poverty, social unrest, and high crime rates. They agreed to this, with the understanding that I would first have to meet the same requirements as any other police candidate. I would, for example, have to submit to a thorough character investigation, a physical examination, and would have to meet the same training standards applied to all other Florida police officers. Since I was to be unpaid, I would be exempted from departmental civil service requirements. Dorsey & Shirley Mason BORGER LIQUOR STORE SERVICE IS OUR POLICY 4803 E.

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

Box 4215 Fresno 93744 Phone 233-5245 I 47 For 4 months, 4 hours each evening and S nights a week, I attended the Tallahassee area police academy, along with 3S younger classmates. As a balding intellectual, I at first stood out as an oddity in the class of young men destined to become local law enforcement officers. With the passage of time, however, they came to accept me and I them . We joked, drank coffee, and struggled through various examinations and lessons together. At first known only as "the professor," the men later nicknamed me "Doc" over my good-natured protests. As the days stretched into weeks and the weeks into months, I took lengthy notes on the interviewing of witnesses at crime scenes, in vestigated imaginary traffic accidents, and lifted fingerprints. Some nights I went home after hours of physical defense training with my uniformly younger and stronger peers with tired muscles, bruises, and the feeling that I should have my head examined for undertaking such a rugged project. • As someone who had never fired a handgun, I quickly grew accustomed to the noise of 3S revolvers firing at the cardboard silhouettes which our minds transformed into real assailants at' the sound of the range whistle. I learned how to properly make car stops, ap proach a front door or darkened building, question suspects, and a thousand other things that every modern police officer must know. After what seemed an eternity, graduation from the academy finally came, and with it what was to become the most difficult but rewarding educational experience of my life: I became a policeman. The School ofHard Knocks I will never forget standing in front of the Jacksonville police station on that first day. I felt incredibly awkward and conspicuous in the new blue uniform and creaking leather. Whatever confidence in my ability to "do the job" I had gained during the academy seemed to evaporate as I stood there watching other blue figures hurrying in the evening rain toward assembly. After some minutes, I summoned the courage to walk into the station and into my new career as a core city patrolman. That first day seems long ago now.

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

I had discounted on my first evening the warning of a veteran sergeant who, after hearing that I was about to begin work as a patrolman, shook his head and cautioned, "You'd better watch yourself out there, Professor! It gets pretty rough sometimes!" I was soon to find out what he meant. Several hours into my first evening on the streets, my partner and I were dispatched to a bar in the downtown area to handle a disturbance complaint. Inside, we encountered a large and boisterous drunk who was arguing with the bartender and loudly refusing to leave. As someone with considerable experience as a correctional counselor and mental health worker, I hastened to take charge of the situation. "Excuse me, Sir," I smiled pleasantly at the drunk, "but I wonder if I could ask you to step outside and talk with me for just a minute?" The man stared at me through bloodshot eyes in disbelief for a second, raising one hand to scratch the stubble of several days growth of beard. Then sud denly, without warning, it happened. He swung at me, luckily missing my face and striking me on the right shoulder. I couldn't believe it. What on earth had I done to provoke such a reaction? Before I could recover from my startled condition, he swung again -this time tearing my whistle chain from a shoulder epaulet. After a brief struggle, we had the still shouting, cursing man locked in the back of our cruiser. I stood there, breathing heavily with my hair in my eyes as I surveyed the damage to my new uniform and looked in bewilderment at my partner, who only smiled and clapped me affectionately on the back. Theory v. Practice "Something is very wrong," I remember thinking to myself in the front seat as we headed for the jail. I had used the same kind of gentle, rapport-building approach with countless offenders in prison and probation settings. It had always worked so well there. What was so different about being a policeman? In the days and weeks which followed, I was to learn the answer to this 50 SHAM'S MEN'S WEAR Across From Fair Grounds 4559 E.

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

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

Now, the often terrible sights, sounds, and smells of my job began to haunt me hours after I had taken the blue uniform and badge off. Some nights I would lie in bed unable to sleep, trying desperately to forget the things I had seen during a particular tour of duty: the rat infested shacks that served as homes to those far less fortunate than I, a teenage boy dying in arms after being struck by a car, small children clad in rags with stomachs bloated from hunger playing in a urine-spattered hall, the victim of a robbery senselessly beaten and murdered. In my new role as a police officer, I found that the victims of crime ceased to be im personal statistics.

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

After taking his wallet and seeing how little he had, they shot him and left him on the street. As a police officer, I was enraged time and again at the cruelty and senselessness of acts such as this, at the arrogance of brazen thugs who prey with impunity on innocent citizens. A Different Perspective The same kinds of daily stresses which af, fected my fellow officers soon began to take their toll on me. I became sick and tired of being reviled and attacked by criminals who could usually find a most sympathetic audience in judges and jurors eager to understand their side of things and provide them with "another chance." I grew tired of living under the ax of news media and community pressure groups, eager to seize upon the slightest mistake made by myself or a fellow police officer. As a criminology professor, I had always enjoyed the luxury of having great amounts of time in which to make difficult decisions. As a police officer, however, I found myself forced to make the most critical choices in a time frame of seconds, rather than days: to shoot or not to shoot, to arrest or not to arrest, to give chase or let go -always with the nagging certainty that others, those with great amounts of time in which to analyze and think, stood ready to• judge and condemn me for whatever action I might take or fail to take. I found myself not only forced to live a life consisting of seconds and adrenalin, but also forced to deal with human problems which were infinitely more difficult than anything I had ever confronted in a correctional or mental health setting. Family fights, mental illness, potentially ex plosive crowd situations, dangerous individuals -I found myself progressively awed by the complexity of tasks faced by men whose work I once thought was fairly simple and straight forward. Indeed, I would like to take the average clinical psychologist or psychiatrist and invite him to function for just a day in the world of the policeman, to confront people whose problems are both serious and in need of immediate 746 F Street Fresno Ph.continued 56 Open Every Day 11 :30 a.m. to 1 :30 a.m. :-...~ HOUSE ) Food To Go or Eat Here Ii ROMA PIZZA Our Foods Speak Any Language , EMIliO, Mgr. ~ 1600 Belmont Ave., Fresno 237-9557 ACE MOBILE KEY SH'OP Three Radio Dispatch Units Official Locksmiths for AAA & National 4572 E.

I would invite him to walk, as I have, into a smoke-filled pool room where five or six angry men are swinging cues at one another. I would like the prison counselor and parole officer to see their client Jones -not calm and composed in an office setting, but as the street cop sees him -beating his small child with a heavy belt buckle, or kicking his pregnant wife. I wish that they, and every judge and juror in our country, could see the ravages of crime as the cop on the beat must: innocent people cut, shot, beaten, raped, robbed, and murdered. It I feel certain, give them a different perspective on crime and criminals, just as it has me. Humaneness in Uniform For all the human misery and suffering police officers must witness in their work, I found myself amazed at the incredible humanity and compassion which seems to characterize most of them.

As a police officer, I found myself repeatedly surprised at the ability of my fellow patrolmen to withstand the often enormous daily pressures of their work. Long hours, frustration, danger, and anxiety -all seemed to be taken in stride as just part of the reality of being a COp.

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

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

Once quick to drop critical barbs about policemen to intellectual friends, I now became extremely sensitive about such remarks -and several times became engaged in heated arguments over them. As a police officer myself, I found that society demands too much of its policemen: not only are they expected to enforce the law, but to be curbside psychiatrists, marriage counselors, social workers, and even ministers, and doc tors. I found that a good street officer combines in his daily work splinters of each of these complex professions and many more. Certainly it is unreasonable for us to ask so much of the men in blue; yet we must, for there is simply no one else to whom we can turn for help in the kind of crises and problems policemen deal continued Dr. Kirkham discusses lecture he is about to give his criminology students at Florida State University Tallahassee while attired in his uniform.

No one else wants to counsel a family with problems at 3 a.m. on Sunday; no one else wants to enter a darkened building after a burglary; no one else wants to confront a robber or madman with a gun. No one else wants to stare poverty, mental illness, and human tragedy in the face day after day, to pick up the pieces of shattered lives. As a policeman myself, I have often asked myself the questions: "Why does a man become a cop?" "What makes him stay with it?" Surely it's not the disrespect, the legal restrictions which make the job increasingly rough, the long hours and low pay, or the risk of being killed or injured trying to protect people who often don't seem to care. The only answer to this question I have been able to arrive at is one based on my own limited experience as a policeman. Night after night, I came home and took off the badge and blue uniform with a sense of satisfaction and contribution to society that I have never known in any other job. Somehow that feeling seemed to make everything -the disrespect, the danger, the boredom -worthwhile. An Invaluable Education For too long now, we in America's colleges and· universities have conveyed to young men and women the subtle message that there is somehow something wrong with "being a cop." It's time for that to stop. This point was for cibly brought home to me one evening not long ago. I had just completed a day shift and had to rush back to the university with no chance to change out of uniform for a late afternoon class. As I rushed into my office to pick up my lecture notes, my secretary's jaw dropped at the sight of the uniform. "Why, Dr. Kirkham, you're not going to go to class looking like that, are you?" I felt momentarily embarrassed, and then struck by the realization that I would not feel the need to apologize if I appeared before my students with long hair or a beard. Free love advocates and hatemonger revolutionaries do not apologize for their group memberships, so why should someone whose appearance symbolizes a commitment to serve and protect society? "Why not," I replied with a slight smile, "I'm proud to be a cop!" I picked up my notes and went on to class. continued 60 FRESNO AG HARDWARE "You Can Always Get It At Fresno Ag" 4550 N.

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

TOBIN Deputy Coroner 64 THE CORONER PAST AND PRESENT by Dimas Cardoso and Richard Tobin The Word "Coroner" is derived from the term "Crowner." The Crowner was an eleventh century English Royal Official who was the King's personal representrative and in vestigated local matters, collected taxes and reported directly to the King. In the 1500's, the word "Coroner" first appeared in English legal documents, and at the same time the present functions and duties were recognized. English settlers brought English law, and thus the position of Coroner was established in American law. With California's admission into the Union, the state constitution provided for the election of Coroner as the chief law enforcement officer in each county. State law still provides that the Coroner replace the county Sheriff, if he is unwilling or unable to act.

In 1896, the position of Coroner was again made a separate office. The voters of Fresno County, in 1950, combined the offices of Coroner and Sheriff. Administratively, the Coroner's Bureau is a subdivision of the Sheriff's Department under the administrative direction of the Un dersheriff. The staff consists of one Sergeant, four Deputy Coroners and one receptionist. The Coroner is a county officer acting under the authority of provisions of the California Government Code, Health and Safety Code and Penal Code. There are specific laws which define the Coroner's powers and which vest him with the right and duty to investigate certain classes of death. Primarily, it shall be the duty of the Coroner to investigate the manner, continued Standard Oil Company O,F CALIFORNIA Western Operations. Inc. 5030 N.

In Fresno County, Coroner cases have nearly doubled since fifteen years ago, with staffing remammg the same. Therefore, Deputy Coroners work many hours, over 40 hours a week. but a large percentage of the time is on standby time. The Coroner's Bureau works very closely with all the law enforcement agencies throughout the county and, on various oc casions, throughout the state. The bureau develops information pertaining to accidents or incidents occurring where injuries were a contributing factor as to cause of death. Generally, the most frequent designation of calls will consist of the following: Natural Death, death due wholly to natural causes; Traffic, any vehicle accident on public roads or highways; Motor Vehicle-Nontraffic, vehicle accidents on private property; Miscellaneous Accidents, any accidental mishap which directly causes or contributes to the cause of death, including falls where fractures are sustained; Industrial Accidents, any accident which occurs during a course of employment, excluding traffic accidents on public roadways; Suicide, or Homicides. There have been in stances where after exhaustive investigations, determinations and circumstances, the causes are still unknown. The Deputy Coroner may consult with various law enforcement agencies, family members, doctors, review medical charts, request post-mortem examinations and various laboratory tests in order to establish cause of death. The most difficult task of the Deputy Coroner is notifying the next of kin. The Coroner is also responsible for all properties and valuables found on the decedent. In cases where there is no next of kin or the next of kin is from out of state, the Public Administrator's Office is advised as to disposition of the remains and valuables or properties. • Busch Bavarian * Miller High Life • Regal Select Pabst Blue Ribbon " Falstaff " Lite " M &T DISTRIBUTING CO.

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

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

Clayton, Fresno 72 ~------------------------------ ------- THE BIG PUBLIC RIP-OFF (BURGLARIES) It is the intention of this interview to make the public aware of some problems the police are having with burglaries. It also points up some of the things the public can do to help protect their property and the property of their neighbors. Fresno County has a very high burglary rate. For several years, deputies in the field have been asked numerous questions regarding burglars by citizens in our community. The staff of this year's Review compiled many questions and asked your questions of the Sheriff's Departments Burglary Detail in the following interview. Staff members Deputies Tom Gattie, John Maier and Mike Satterberg asked the questions. Detectives Gordon Taber, Tommy Kerns, Larry Hill and Sergeant Bill Shuman responded with the following answers.

WHAT DOES A BURGLAR LOOK LIKE? Burglars come in all sizes, shapes, colors, ages and both sexes. They can be from the middle· income white collar worker to your highest or lowest income bracket. There are no basics. Anybody can become a burglar if the op portunity presents itself. In Fresno County, approximately 70 % of our burglars are drug addicts, and the balance is made up mostly of juveniles. continued 1:?

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

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

The first thing they look for is inactivity. Another thing is the open garage door without a vehicle inside. This is a sure give-away that nobody is home. Other indications a~e lights on all the time, newspapers and mail out front, and shades pulled down in the daytime. One way to keep them from keying on your house when you are away is to have a friend or neighbor change or take care of all the above. Another thing burglars will do is come up to your front door and knock. If you answer, they will ask for someone who doesn't live there and then leave. If they receive no answer, then they burglarize the house. Report anyone that follows the above pattern to the police. Be sure to get the description of the person and their car. If you do the above, you will definitely reduce burglaries. Most burglars are caught from leads from the public. The police are happy to check out this type of person because it usually results in catching a burglar. continued FRIGID FOOD LOCKERS Processing Is Our Business USDA Rated Choice Meats For Lockers or Home Freezers 3003 E.

No lock will completely stop all burglars, but with proper locks, the property loss will be lowered because the burglar will have to enter through a window and cart items out through the win dows if the doors are dead bolted. Anybody climbing out of a window attracts attention. SHOULD THE PUBLIC MARK THEIR ITEMS? Yes, with their driver's license number. Write down all your serial numbers and keep them.

Then, give the person's description, the description of his car and license number, plus the description of the property to the local police agency.

A 60-day sentence vs. a couple of years -you figure it out. When your place has been burglarized and 60 days later you see the same suspect back on the streets, you have to wonder where justice has gone. Longer sen tences would make the suspect think twice about going back to prison for another long sentence. Burglars now feel they can do 60 days to 6 months standing on their head, but not so with 2 to 5 years. continued COMPLIMIENTS OF CURRI E BROS., IN'C.

Very few drug addicts are rehabilitated. They are caught and sent to the California Rehabilitation Center for six months to a year and then they are right back where they left off. A regular burglar would receive up to five years in prison. Therefore, it is much better for the burglar to be a drug because of the lesser sentence.

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

She will also conduct other in vestigations when not busy on rape cases, but she is on call twenty-four hours a day for rape cases. The other three qualified members are also on call to assist her or to fill in when she is either busy on another rape case or unavailable on her time off. Many times in the past it was noted that female rape victims were reluctant to discuss the crime with a male investigator due to the very embarrassing nature of the crime itself. Many victims were unable to fully divulge all the facts of the case due to embarrassment, and therefore a strong case against the suspect was not possible and the rapist would go free of punishment. It was also noted that the victim was much more at ease and less embarrassed and able to give full details to a female deputy whenever one was present during the interview. Thus the need for female investigators for this type of crime was very apparent. Most victims seem to appreciate being in terviewed by a woman instead of a male, especially young girls or victims of complicated or perverted rapes, because this type of case can become embarrassing to both the victim and the male deputies conducting the in terview. Despite the image portrayed on television, the male detective is not quite the calloused and hard-spoken interviewer of rape victims as shown so many times in the media. A large percentage of the rapes are not reported because the victim does not wish to be em barrassed or bring embarrassment to her family, husband or friends. Deputy Millie Kosmosky is fully qualified for this position as she has been with the Fresno County Sheriff's Department for several years, working both in the Women's Jail and now in the Detective Division. Millie is happily married and a mother and a mature person whose age we will not divulge. She is known and respected by her fellow detectives, both male and female, and by her superior officers who have assigned her to this difficult job. When a victim of rape comes to the attention of this Department, Millie is assigned to the investigation as soon as possible and in many cases is the first person to actually interview the victim after the initial contact by a field deputy conlinued 84 KONG'S MARKET Meat -Groceries -Produce Beer and Wine #1 -3706 E.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Smaller in population, Fresno County leads the major metropolitan areas of San Jose, San Diego and Sacramento in total losses due to car thefts. Because of its central location in the San Joaquin Valley, Fresno County has become a convenient convergence site for auto theft groups operating throughout the state. Statistics show that every month more cars are recovered here than are stolen within the county limits. This can be attributed to continued ~ LUCKY BAI IL BONDS 268-4646 LEON FAULKNER, Owner ,j , BONDSMAN ALWAYS ON DUTY -ANY JAIL NATIONWIDE -24 HOUR COURTEOUS ...Ia".....,., NEW LOCATION: -2315 FRESNO STREET ON FRESNO STREET AT "Mil STREET BRIX APARTMENTS BUILDING ACROSS FROM CITY HALL I FREE CONFIDENTIAL ~CREDIT TERMS BAIL INFORMA TlON ~ AVAILABLE1 ,209) 251.5586 93 vehicles being stolen in other areas such as San Francisco, San Jose or Southern California and dropped at this location because the individuals are either coming into the Central Valley for work or removing Fresno area vehicles to continue on to other destinations. Because of this burgeoning problem, it be came apparent that an expanded and intensive anti-vehicle theft program must be undertaken. This would be done in conjunction with the California Highway Patrol, which had traditionally been the major vehicle theft in vestigator in the county. Therefore, in the summer of 1973, a federal grant was applied for to help fund equipment, supplies and manpower for a proposed vehicle theft unit within the Fresno County Sheriff's Depart ment. In October, 1973, the grant was approved. It had four major objectives. The first goal was to reduce the number of vehicle thefts in Fresno County by five percent; the second goal, to increase by the same percentage the number of vehicles recovered. Thirdly, a program was to be established to divert juvenile offenders away from vehicle theft activities and, lastly, the Fresno County Sheriff's Department would be · responsible for coordination of individual . efforts by other law enforcement agencies to attack the problem. Manpower for the auto theft detail was selected and consisted of a sergeant, three investigators, a field inspector and a secretary. Because of problems in obtaining some of the basic equipment and also the fact that vehicle theft prevention was to be a new undertaking for the Sheriff's Department, the men spent the entire month of November training on a day-to day basis with the California Highway Patrol. They travelled to Sacramento where they became acquainted with the resources of the Department of Motor Vehicles and, in ad dition, several of the deputies in the unit at tended the California Peace Officers Standards and Training Basic Auto Theft Academy in San Jose. The vehicle theft investigators joined with other agencies in the San Joaquin Valley in establishing a Central California chapter of the Association of Western States Auto Theft Investigators.

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

The ordinance made it mandatory that an individual selling a vehicle to a junk yard provide positive iden tification of himself and ownership of the vehicle to be destroyed. The yards themselves were required to retain the vehicle in its original condition for a minimum of ten days until the Sheriff's Department processed the vehicle, correctly established ownership and ascer tained if it was, in fact, stolen. This is perhaps the only ordinance of its kind in the entire state of California, and enforcement of it has resulted in the recovery of many stolen vehicles which would have otherwise been unrecoverable. The ordinance has also resulted in the identification and apprehension of several auto theft suspects.

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

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

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

Petty theft has always led the crime statistics as the most frequently committed theft-related crime. While a majority of its participants previously had been juveniles, the new trend includes a large number of adults in every economic and social range. The apple from the sidewalk vendor, or the small package of fishing weights from the sporting goods area of the department store, has led to "bigger and better things." Adults and juveniles have become both more sophisticated and more bold in their acts of theft. To some of us it is inconceivable that a Whatsnew?

Numerous tricks or tools of the trade are often used, but the majority of thieves use nothing more than intestinal fortitude and the belief that the average salesperson is either too ignorant or too afraid to challenge them about the theft which is occurring. Ask the seasoned thief what he has in his pocket or purse and you will usually get the stock answer, "Nothing." Straight-faced, without a show of emotion, the "professional thief" will attempt to bluff his way out of this situation by making store personnel believe they really 'didn't see what had just transpired. conlinued ROMO AUTO WRECKING SPECIALIZING IN EARLY MODEL CAR PARTS $ CASH $ PAID $ FOR JUNK CARS OPEN SUNOA YS 264-4821 ¥.r Mile South of ShBwA~. 4625 N.

FRESNO Compliments Of ROTa MANUFACTURING FRESNO 100 suspect • Commercial businesses are now countering the thief's basic philosophy with well trained and experienced store security personnel. Security personnel include off-duty and ex police officers, students and graduates of criminology, and even a few rehabilitated ex thieves who have learned to put their prior experience to work in legitimate channels. Sophisticated equipment, including detection monitors, closed circuit television, cameras, mirrors, and magnetic price tags, are being introduced to curb the upward-spiraling trend. But as one local department store security supervisor admits, "We have only begun to scratch the surface of the problem." The nickel and dime thief will probably never be totally eliminated, and the professional type learns new methods faster than prevention personnel do. As the thief's daring increases, so does the size of the losses. Proving a case is often difficult, even after a has been apprehended. Detailed reports pinpointing each move of the suspect and each observation by the witness must be compiled. Marking of evidence, signing formal complaints, and testifying in court are added BILL EADS MOBILE HOMES SI LVERCREST -BARRINGTON -FESTIVAL SANDPOINT -FREEDOM-MERRY HOME CONCORD-SEQUOIA-MADISON SOMERSET -SUNNYBROOK Open 7 Days a Week -We Take Trades 2259 S.

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

Increased consumer costs are used to recover the loss created by thefts. Shoplifting is the clean term used to remove the shame of stealing. No matter how it is rationalized or explained, the results and implications are the same. While the case of Michael clearly shows an act of theft, there are other acts of theft that are not so clear. Examples of this include changing price tags, consuming food products in the store and failing to pay for them, and knowingly ac cepting too much change from a cashier after a purchase. A large segment of our "honest" population attempt to rationalize this behavior with phrases such as, "The price is too high," "They make plenty of money, they will never miss it," and "It serves that dumb cashier right." We complain that prices are too high, but allow our compulsion for personal gain to override our sense of honesty. The answer to the problem is not an easy one, as we have become geared to trying to accept this defiant behavior as a socio-economic way of life. Each one of us, as consumers, have an obligation and an opportunity to rectify this unnecessary expenditure of our hard-earned money. If you observe a theft in progress within a store, notify a clerk or salesperson. And the next time you find the line at the checkout stand a little too long to suit you, don't slip that item into your purse or pocket and walk out of the store without paying. Remember, even an "honest" person who steals is a thief. * LIQUOR JUNCTION SPORTING GOODS "House 01 Fine Spirits" 264-9267 5092 W.

The purpose of the restructure was to increase the efficiency of the law enforcement mission in the county through the following ways: improve called-for services response, improve follow-up investigation, improve departmental coordination of effort, establish community relations and awareness program, establish a program of positive law enforcement procedures for implementation in other areas. The substations and the areas they include are: Firebaugh and Mendota; Coalinga; Kerman; Caruthers, Laton and Riverdale; Fowler, Selma and Kingsburg; Reedley, Parlier, Del Rey and Sanger; and Ponderosa. The substations are divided by the East and West side of the county, each headed by a Uniformed Field Division Lieutenant. His duties are to implement required programs for the attainment of objectives and secure Above: Map shows the seven service areas of the newly established substation. SUBSTATIONS ESTABLISHED by Rodney Craig compliance to departmental policy and procedure. He also establishes liaison with communities, agencies and the public to attain community support for programs. Examples of this type of program are community relations, citizen cooperation and crime prevention. He must also administer the police functions of the area. Through coordinating and com municating, the Lieutenant directs and sup ports the attainment of the desired goals. He also sees that aU statistics and records are inserted into central retention and control bureaus. Making assignments of personnel to necessary functions is the main duty of the area supervisor.

MASUDA, Prop. 4019 No. Blackstone 227-2010 YOST & WEBB 'FUNERAL HOME Tulare & T Streets greatly NOW IT IS BEE RUSTLING The purpose of this story is to acquaint the public and law enforcement personnel with the Bee Rustler. This new type of theft has entered our San Joaquin Valley. Bee rustling is on the increase, and it threatens our crop production, Imagine the world without bees. If you are a farmer, going without bees to pollinate certain crops reduces or stops production of life sustaining materials. To the consumer, it means less food at higher prices or not having necessary materials for life. Without the bees, you and I would not eat so well. By now, you are asking yourself who would steal bees and why. There are two types of individuals who rustle bees. Both types steal the entire hive. The only difference is the amateur steals the hive intact and puts the hive in his backyard for the honey. The commercial rustler is a beekeeper, and he steals the entire hive and transfers the bees into his hive. After getting the honey, he destroys the branded parts of the hive. Sometimes it is employees who steal the hives. Why are bees stolen? Because of their value. A two-story colony is worth a considerable sum of money. With today's price of sugar, the demand for honey has risen drastically. Another reason for thefts is hives are left in one spot anywhere from one day to several months. This sometimes gives the bee rustler a false sense of security because he feels the beekeeper will not miss the hives. What should the public be aware of? First, when you observe suspicious activity around bee hives, call the Fresno County Sheriff's Department. Many hives are destroyed in the field by vehicles knocking them over or by vandals shooting them. What should the law enforcement personnel look for to stop the bee rustler? First, bees are seldom moved during the daytime hours because the bees are flying away from the hives. If the bees are moved in the daylight hours, the bees must be netted, and if the weather is hot, 119 Beehives are stacked near a field where bees are pollinating. The number on the side of the hive is the beekeeper's brand. the hives are packed in dry ice. Therefore, if a deputy sees a truckload of bee hives moving on' the roadways during the day, it would be a good practice to stop the truck and prepare a field investigation card. Bee hives are usually branded and are registered with the Agricultural Commissioner's Office. The brands are visible on the outside of the hives. The last brand on the hive should be the last owner. However, some hives are not branded and these should be carefully observed and field investigation cards filled out and turned in to the Department. Just because they are not branded does not mean they are stolen. Some small hobbyists' bee hives are unbranded. But all bees must be registered in November in the county they are in at the time. Let's help keep bee thefts down by public and law enforcement agencies doing their part. Without bees, you and I would not live so well. ----------------------- Clovis Fl v~ POlli ts Riverdale ALCORN AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE HOLLIS TIRE SERVICE DON'S MARKET Tires -Batteries -AccessoriesVOLKSWAGEN SPECIALIST 867-3413884.2404299-5264 3714 Mt.

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

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

Three positions of lieutenant were created and filled from an existing eligibility list. Sergeants Kenneth Hogue, Richard Pierce, and Edwin Hansen traded their stripes for gold bars and replaced three jail sergeants, who were trans ferred to other divisions. Hogue, who assumed command of the morning watch, and Pierce, who took over the evening watch, both had recent experience as jail sergeants. Hansen, who became relief watch commander, was in about the same situation I had been in when I assumed command of the division in 1971, having been away from the jail for several years, and quite unfamiliar with all the changes that had oc curred in correctional procedure and philosophy.

Broyles checks inmate list. commanders, the assignment of lieutenants also created a more stable situation. For years we'd had the same problem with sergeants as we had with deputy sheriffs assigned to the jail. Newly appointed sergeants began their supervisory careers in the jail. They knew their assignments would be temporary, lasting only until they acquired sufficient seniority for advancement, as it was then considered, to a more desirable assignment in another division, through normal turnover. Therefore, no matter how capable the sergeant was, it was difficult for him to develop and maintain a sincere interest in jail operation and its problems. When the lieutenants were assigned to the division, they knew they'd probably be there for a long time, for there isn't a great deal of turnover among lieutenants and higher ranks. Timberwine SHAVER LAKE They therefore approached the new assignment as a potentially long-lasting and perhaps virtually permanent phase of their careers, with true dedication and interest. All three are doing an excellent job. They are also making the division com mander's job more challenging.

Lieutenants, however, aren't afraid to point out any flaws they see in my policies, and before I take a position on any problem or question, I have to analyze the situation very carefully, and make sure I can defend it. I like it that way. It keeps me on my toes. By February an acceptable number of correctional officers had acquired sufficient experience to qualify for the promotional examination. Those subsequently promoted to Senior Correctional Officer were Donald Bradford, Donald Broyles, James Baum, Melvin Howe, Gary Martin, and Ronald Durham. When I talked to the candidates in deciding whom to recommend for promotion, it was the third time I'd interviewed some of them for jobs. I'd first talked to Bradford for that purpose in 1970, when I was a lieutenant in the Records and Identification Division, and he the Department as an ·Identification Technician. Later he'd placed close to the top in the first correctional officer examination in 1971, and by that time I was in command of the VERN & VIV LEFLER 'S MUNK'S LODGE PINE FLAT LAKE FiS~~~A·K~~t~r;fS~~~~Ls,.k~ing 26251 Trimmer Springs Rd., Piedra Calif.

He had been a capable jail records clerk before becoming a correctional officer and, as an extra bonus in the way of qualification, had studied law and earned a degree.

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

Just a few of our activities this year were the United Cerebral Palsy and Muscular Dystrophy Telethons, Scout-O-Rama, City-County football game, Elks Charity Motorcross Race, Kearney Mansion, Fashion Fair and the Fresno District Fair. Some of these activities were made possible by our new advisor, Sergeant Gerald Lawless, who is also the Sheriff's Department's Reserve coordinator. When the Reserves are needed for duty, Sergeant Lawless is called. He in turn calls on a few of us to assist him and his Reserves. Working at Fresno Fashion Fair is a yearly project. Our purpose out there is to assist the security guards, gain experience in public . relations and in general crimes such as shoplifting, bike thefts, car thefts and purse snatchings. This project was made possible by the Fashion Fair management, and the owner LATON CAFE GOOD FOOD &COLD BEER 923·8997 6275 DEWOODY LATON R'IVERSIDE GROCERY FRESH MEATS &PRODUCE COLD BEER &WINE 923·4950 21007 S.

CARUTHERS by Dennis Parker The Kingsburg Police Department serves a population of 4500 persons. Under the ad ministration of Chief of Police John Swenning, who accepted his position in 1972, after serving eight years with the Fresno County Sheriff's Department, the department has experienced many changes. Many people today believe the small town police officer and department has impeded the growth of professionalism in law enforcement. Throughout Fresno County this image is changing, as the smaller departments are providing more efficient services to their communities. We in Kingsburg believe that all too often, the "small town" officer is not given the credit he deserves. A "generalist policeman," he must attend the same academies, receive basically the same training, possess the same technical continued MT. WH ITNEY INN &CAFE FINE LIQUORS & GOOD FOOD 867-3100 3448 W. Mt. WHITNEY AVE, RIVERDALE KLEPPER RANCHES CARUTHERS 149 information, and be prepared to deal with the same types of problems as any other officer. The most significant difference lies in the workload and, unfortunately, the pay. The Kingsburg officer makes his own in vestigations of crimes; he dusts for prints, takes photographs, searches, interrogates and, hopefully, apprehends the suspect. The officer who conducts the initial investigation is usually required to conduct his own follow-up in vestigation, with direction provided as needed. The Kingsburg officer, as a result, gains a wide spectrum of experience. Recently, an armed robbery case was followed up by a younger patrolman who was able to solve the case. The experience he gained added to his value as an officer. Because all these things are required of the officers, training is vital. The training programs, offered both in and outside the department, are continuous. The department adheres to POST standards, and there is always at least one officer attending some type of training institute. More officers are attending college than ever before. Three are working towards their A.A. Degree, two already have this degree, and are working for the Bachelor's Degree. I LEE'S GARAGE GENERAL AUTO REPAIR 13309 S.

Henderson Ave., Caruthers 864-3278 The most significant change the department has experienced is the new ' headquarters building, which was made operational in December, 1973. The carpeted floors and paneled walls in the office and operations areas gives the department more of an "office" look than a typical police building. The building contains a records room, evidence and property room, and a booking and interrogation room. There is also a detention cell, two offices, and a large conference room .. New communications equipment has recently been ordered as the result of a com munications grant project which was approved by the California Council on Criminal Justice. Included in the grant are such items as "walkie talkie" radios for all personnel, two new base stations, monitoring devices, and improved mobile car communications. The recently developed Reserve Officer program has added a new dimension to the department. This has added to our manpower, and we have drawn from several groups in the community some dedicated persons who are doing a tremendous job.

DIENER RANCH Five Points, Calif. 151 board is a Home Security Inspection Program, planned and conducted solely by the Reserve Officers, under the direction of Dennis Parker. One of the first programs developed by Chief Swenning was the School Resource Officer program, which is now going into its third year. Several officers have been participating, rather than just one, and the response from parents, teachers and, most importantly, the kids, has been overwhelming. The department also sponsors a Little League baseball team, named, appropriately, the "Cops." This year Kingsburg hired its first female officer, Tina Magana, who presently is assigned to dispatcher and juvenile duties. She is a sworn officer, and assists in other areas when needs arise. For about a year now, the Police Department has had a weekly column in the local newspaper entitled "Cop Talk." Each officer in the department contributes weekly commentary on a variety of subjects, most of which are in tended to familiarize our citizens with the functions of their police department. There are also articles on crime prevention and safety. Recently officers, in line with the "change in image" trend, voted for a uniform change. The old tan uniforms were discarded in September, and officers donned new blue uniforms. The Kingsburg Police Department is striving to provide its public with modern, concerned, and professional police service. Public support has been tremendous, and without it, we would .. not have been able to accomplish what we have . Because we are proud of our department we want to continue to improve, and feel that we will. We also invite you to drop by sometime. WESTSIDE CROP DUSTERS INC. CROP DUSTING and AIRPLANE SPRAY P. O.

TURNER 154 Pari ier Pol ice Department Youth Service Program Our Police Department has implemented a youth service program which includes career guidance counseling and a Law Enforcement Explorer Post. The officers of this department have com mitted themselves by donating their off-duty time to be available in the Guidance Center at the Parlier High School. The idea is not to coach students into what they should or should not do -the officers are there to rap, to answer questions which may be very important to them, no matter how insignificant the question may seem. Officers participating in this program have made themselves available in classroom situations as well as on an in dividual, confidential basis. Efforts on the part COALINGA MARKET 309 E.

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