COVER-In choosing topics for cover photos over the years, we have usually tried
to feature a unit of the Department whose activities were discussed at length in that
particular issue, or 'when, for some other reason, there was some significance in
featuring that unit. No officer or unit has duties that are more deserving of attention
this year than our business manager, Ron Inglis, as he struggles to help us provide an
acceptable level of service with our limited budget.

Dear Friends:
Perhaps the most awesome task any county department head will have this
year will be the preparation of a 1979-80 fiscal year budget that will abide
by the "spirit of 13". The problem is that there is no universally accepted
definition of that term. It is agreed that it means no frills or unnecessary
programs, but there's a wide variety of opinion as to what constitutes a frill
or an unnecessary program .
In the Sheriff's Deoartment we have taken the position that "spirit of
13", a s far as 1aw enforcement is concerned, means elimi na t i on of a11 programs
and activities not directlY.related to basic police service. We therefore
have not budgetted for some programs dear to the hearts of many citizens. For
instance. in addition to the substantial reductions already made in management
staff, we plan to operate without community relations officers and school
resource officers. Officers won't be as readily available for speeches and
presentations before schools, clubs, and civic groups . Attendance at inter-
ag ency meetings will be carefully screened and possibly curtailed . Some
programs in the jail having no bearing on security or inmate health and safety
wil l no longer be funded.
We agree that each of these programs had considerable merit; otherwise we
wou ld n't have established them in the first place. But they are things we can
do wi thout. and the only way we could retain them would be to reduce basic
services; fewer patrol officers to respond to calls; fewer detectives to conduct
foll ow-up investigations; fewer jail officers to ensure both officer and inmate
safety .
By eliminating these programs, we have been able to submit to the Board of
Supervi so rs a bare-bones, no frills budget; one which we feel can't be reduced
another do llar; but which we feel will enable us to keep our resoonse time to
calls at a reasonable level, and our apprehension and conviction rate high
enough t hat we can continue to reduce the crime rate in the unincorporated areas
of the county.
We trust that readers of the Sheriff's Review. as responsible citizens of
the communi ty , will continue to lend us their support and cooperation, and will
understand tha t while we may not be able to provide the variety of service we
have in the past, we're doing the best we can with the resources ava i lable, and
sincerely feel we're following the "spirit of 11".

To Strangers?
You can either take the necessary steps now-or
someone else will do it for you later-more specifically,
the government and courts. -
Federal and state laws are quite specific and inflexible
when someone dies without a will. Taxes can take a big
bite out of your estate before it ever reaches your
beneficiaries.

The Sheriff's Review of 1979 is presented
for your enjoyment and enlightenment. We
hope it will help you, our readers and the
people we serve, to better understand the
problems 've face in attempting to provide an
acceptable level of police service. With the
suspicion of and lack of trust in public offi-
cials so prevalent today, in all levels of gov-
ernment, it is more important than ever that
you understand our problems; that you be
able to tell the "good guys" from the "bad
guys." For we in law enforcement realize that
we must have the help and cooperation of the
public if we are to have any significant degree
of success. A general feeling of apathy toward

EDITORIAL
13PROPOSITION
A Blessing Or A Curse?
No doubt most of those whose real estate
taxes were substantially reduced by Proposi-
tion 1.3 look upon it as the greatest thing to
come along since the homeowner's exemp-
tion. And after almost a year under its budget-
ary restrictions, a superficial analysis seems to
confirm that premise. Thanks to the chari-
table doling out to local governments of a few
billion dollars that had accumulated in the
state treasury in the past few years, the
promise that essential services would not be
reduced has, so far, been pretty well kept. All
that means, of course, is that instead of paying
for such services from current real estate
taxes, we are paying for them with money
previously collected from us without justifi-
cation .by the state, via unrealistic rates for
certain state taxes. Had we not been required
to pay far too much in state taxes over the past
several years, our real estate taxes wouldn't
have become such a burden, and there would
have been no need for such a drastic remedy
as Proposition 13.
Unfortunately, most non-essential services
are also still being provided, again thanks to
the availability of state money, or rather, our
money in the state treasury. What will happen
when so-called state money is no longer avail-
able; when local governments will be forced
to work out their budgets on their own, 'with
only the limited funds allowed under Prop-
osition 13'? No one knows. It is the prediction
of this writer that most of the non-essential
services will continue to be provided, even if
it means drastic reductions in essential serv-
ices. This prediction is based on the fact, as
pointed out in last year's Review editorial,
before Proposition 13 was approved, that
proponents of radical social programs are
much more vocal and dedicated in promoting
their causes than are the average citizens who
think most of the local tax dollar should be
spent on such mundane necessities as fire and
police protection, basic education, and road
maintenance. Backers of special programs
attend meetings of local legislative bodies,
present well prepared and logical, if some-
times emotional, arguments, and often get
everything they ask for simply because there
is no one present to argue against them.
For that reason we feel Proposition 13 is a
bad bit of legislation, even if it did result in a
substantial reduction in the average citizen's
tax bill. It reminds us of affluent parents who
send their spoiled son away to college, pro-
vide him a generous allowance, furnish no
instructions whatsoever as to how the money
is to be spent, then expect that most of it will
be used to buy nourishing food, rent proper
living quarters, and provide necessary books
11
and school supplies, basic transportation, and
wholesome recreation. After a while the son
begins periodically to ask for an increase,
claiming he can't live on the amount pro-
vided. For a time the parents grant the in-
creases without question, but eventually the
family budget is strained to the point the
college allowance is a hardship, so they begin
to investigate. To their amazement they find a
substantial portion of the money is going for
junk food, fraternity parties, upkeep on a
fancy sports car, and generally riotous living.
StiH without providing any guidelines as to
how the allo'wance is to be used, the parents
simply cut it in half, naively assuming the
remainder will be spent on nourishing food,
proper housing, necessary books and school
suppJies, basic transportation and wholesome
recreation; that the son will automatically give
up the junk food, the fraternity parties, the
fancy car, and the riotous living.
The bank you don't
have to think about.
SECUR'ITY PACIFIC BANK
Anyone who thinks Proposition 13 will, in
the long run, ,vork as well as it now appears to
be doing may be as naive as those parents.
Like many children of affluent parents, a
great many politicians are spoiled. They've
become so accustomed to wasting public
funds on non-essential programs to satisfy the
demands of certain special interest groups
that it wi1l be difficult for them to change. So
difficult, in fact, that they probably won't
change without specific, definite, and en-
forceable guidelines for public spending.
Merely reducing the amount available for
them to spend will not suddenly endow them
with sound fiscal judgment, any more than
such treatment will bestovv upon the spoiled
college student the virtue of thrift.
This is not to imply that we don't think tax
relief was needed. It was, and is, a very
definite need. But Proposition 13, or any other
tax limitation measure, will not work in the

best interests of the segment of society it is
intended to help, or society as a whole, if it
provides only for a reduction in the amount of
tax money available. And we who want our
tax money spent on basic necessities and
constructive programs must devise a way to
ensure that is done, and we must become as
loud and insistent as the promoters of far out
social programs.
An article in this issue will deal ,vith some of
the specific problems created by Proposition
13, and how it is affecting both law enforce-
ment in particular and county government in
general. It will explain how, in our opinion,
some of them are being coped with success-
fully, while others are likely to lead to serious
problems in the future. Our intent is not to
foment a rebellion against the proposition,
but simply to make our readers more aware of
its shortcomings, and thus be able to insist that
its budgetary restrictions be properly utilized.

Crime Scene U1nknown
By SGT. JAMES HAMILTON
One of the most interesting, complex, and
tragic cases investigated by this department
last year involved a kidnapping, a murder,
and an automobile theft, none of which
occurred in Fresno County. The only related
crime which did take place in this jurisdiction
was the use of a stolen credit card to purchase
a tank of gasoline. But that relatively minor
crime sparked an investigation which even-
tually involved police agencies in several
states scattered from California to Maine, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police, and a private
detective firm.
The investigation began here in mid-August
when Dr. William 'Wilson, a physician re-
siding and practiCing in Madera, contacted
this department for assistance in locating his
missing 19-year-old son, Eric. The young man
lived in Ottawa, Canada, with his mother, she
and the doctor having been divorced for some
tim The doctor had recently received from
his former wife a letter asking if he'd had any
ord from Eric, and enclosing a credit card
. oice indicating gasoline had been pur-
ed by him, at Interstate 5 and Panoche
oad near Firebaugh, on July 21, with a credit
card issued to her, but carried by him with her
permission. She hadn't expected him to be in
this area at that time, but when the invoice
was returned to her, she noted the Firebaugh
address of the service station, checked the
map and saw it was near Madera, and
assumed he had changed his previously for-
mulated plans and decided to visit his father.
Eric had left Ottawa earlier in July, enroute
to Boulder, Colorado, where he was to attend
some type of summer classes for a few weeks.
He was due to register there on July 17. Afew
days before that date he'd telephoned his
mother from North Platte, Nebraska, telling
her he was having some minor mechanical
difficulty with his Volkswagen van, but that
he expected to have it repaired in time to be in
Boulder as scheduled. He promised to call
again upon his arrival there. That was the last
contact she had had with him until she re-
ceived the credit card invoice. After receiv-
ing it she had telephoned the school. She was
told that Eric had telephoned there a day or
two before the registration deadline, ex-
plained his vehicle trouble, and stated he still
planned to be there on time. However, he
hadn't arrived or called again. School author-
ities had assumed repairs to his vehicle had
taken longer than he'd anticipated, that he'd
thus missed the registration deadline, and
simply returned home without notifying them.
"'What do you think?" we asked the doctor.
"\Vould he have just decided to travel around
15
and see the country, and since his mother
assumed he was at school, simply not both-
ered\ to notify her?"
"No way!" the doctor said. "That's why I'm
so worried. He'd never have gone off like that
without telIing his mother."
"Kids sometime act on impulse," we point-
ed out. "Suppose he did just decide to take a
trip. Would he have come as close to Madera
as Firebaugh without at least calling you?"
"No, I'm sure he wouldn't. Even though his
mother and I have been divorced for a long
time, and he lives with her, he and I are still
very close. In fact, v,re'd made plans that when
the classes at Boulder were over, I \-vas going
to fly back there, and the two of us were going
to drive here in his van, camping and sight-
seeing along the way. He was very excited
about that; really looking forward to it."
"Well, it does seem there's cause for con-
cern," we agreed.
"And that's not all," the doctor went on.
"The license number on the credit card slip is
not the one for his van. It's a Texas license,
QF\'V527. And I'm pretty sure the signature
isn't his."
Dr. \Vilson had, prior to contacting this
department, talked to officers in Madera
County. They had expressed concern, but in
the absence of any indication that the missing
youth had ever been in Madera County, they
lacked authority to take any definite action.
They had checked the Texas license number
through the computer, and had found it
belonged on a Toyota station wagon regis-
tered to a Nicolaz Z. Garcia of Schertz, Texas.
Further conversation \vith the doctor re-
vealed that Eric was a generally responsible
young man, but somewhat immature and
naive. As his father described him, he was
inclined to be helpful even to strangers, and
was seldom suspicious of the motives or
intentions of others. It was quite likely, the
doctor said, that he'd picked up a hitchhiker

who had either stolen his van and left him
stranded somewhere, or had murdered him
and hiddeQ the body. Because of the time
lapse, the latter possibility seemed more
likely.
"I wish we could be more encouraging," we
told him, "but it doesn't look very hopeful."
"I realize that," he said. 'Tve already
accepted the probability that he's dead. I just
want to find his body, and the person who
killed him."
Before contacting either this department or
the officers in Madera County, Dr. Wilson,
the boy's mother, and a brother had already
done a great deal of detective work on their
own. The doctor and another son had met in
Colorado and tried to backtrack Eric from
Boulder to North Platte. They'd checked with
hospitals, police agencies, and Volkswagen
dealers and foreign car repair shops all along
the route. The mother had mailed missing
person notices, along with Eric's picture, to

other hospitals and police agencies in Colo-
rado and Nebraska. But none of those efforts
had produced any encouragement whatso-
ever.
At this point we were reasonably certain
Eric had met with foul play, probably kid-
napping and murder. The .. question was,
where had it happened, and who had respon-
sibility and authority for conducting an in-
vestigation. While there was no indication
either crime had occurred in our jurisdiction,
we did have evidence of a crime which
seemed to be connected to Eric's disappear-
ance-use of his mother's stolen credit card.
Obviously, our first step was to attempt to
find out from Nicolaz Z. Garcia if he could
explain the use of his license number on the
credit card invoice. A telephone call was
made to Chief Deputy Walter Borgefredd of
the Guadalupe County Sheriff's Department
in Seguin, Texas. He promised he'd check
with Garcia and call back.

Three days later Borgefredd called with
information that Garcia had on July 3 sold the
TOYQta to a Fortino Enriques of San Antonio.
Garcia didn't know the buyer's address, but
he had the telephone number of his place of
employment. We than contacted the San
Antonio Police Department and asked them
to attempt to locate the place of employment
through the telephone number, and question
Enriques. Either they were unable to do so, or
they decided the information thus developed
would be of no interest to us, for we didn't
hear from them. Later on in the investigation,
after the information we wanted from En-
riques became irrelevant, we learned from
other sources that Enrique had wrecked the
vehkle, and that the license plates had ap-
parently been stolen from it after it had been
towed to a wrecking yard.

lay hidden, and that his murderers were quite
likely still touring the country, possibly in his
van. At that time we didn't know about th.e
stolen plates, and we couldn't be sure it was
the van for which gasoline had been pur-
chased in Firebaugh. We still didn't have any
evidence as to where the murder, if indeed
there had been a murder, had been commit-
ted, so there was no other police agency we
could even contact for assistance, much less
turn the investigation over to. Perhaps we
wouldn't have heen criticized too severely if,
at that point, we'd merely have written a
crime report on the use of the stolen credit
card, a miscellaneous report to cover the
related circumstances, and filed them away to
he available for use in whatever type of
investigation would be conducted when,
where, and if Eric's body would be found. But

means at our disposal to either find out what
had happened to their son, or at least deter-
mine \:vhich police agency should be conduct-
ing an investjgation.
Because the only known crime was use of
a stolen credit card, the investigation \vas
turned over to me, since I'm in charge of the
fraud and forgery detail. I was instructed to
go as far as I could with it, and try to develop
information which would justify another
agency's initiating an investigation. We had
already been in contact with Colorado and
Nebraska police agencies, to see if they had
any unidentified bodies on their hands. They
hadn't, and we'd been unable to give them
any information on which to base a search.
The first thing I did was contact the
manager of the service station where the
credit card had been used, and find out which
attendants had been on duty on July 21. I then
went to the station and contacted them,
hoping they'd be able to remember filling the

tank of a vehicle from Texas on that date. I
knevv the possibility either of them could
remember was extremely remote; only if
something out of the ordinary had happened
at the time could there have been any expec-
tation of their remembering one vehicle out of
the hundreds that pull in off Interstate 5 at the
height of the tOllrist season. One attendant
recognized his initial on the invoice, and said
that indicated he'd served that particular
customer, but he had no recollection of
having done so.
My next step was to contact the local office
of the FBI and talk to Special Agent Jess
Rogers. He was interested and sympathetic
with our problem, and stated he'd do all he
could, but pointed out that with no definite
knowledge that the van had been stolen and
taken across a state line, there was no indica-
tion of federal jurisdiction. vVe realized that,
but felt that because of the peculiar circum-
stances, perhaps the FBI offices in Nebraska

and Colorado would be willing to do some
additional checking in their respective areas.
't\'e.a.lso had information from Dr. Wilson that
Eric's mother had reported his unexplained
absence to the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police, and that that agency had been in
contact yvith the FBI. We hoped Rogers could
find out what progress they had made, if any.
The results of that query were discouraging.
Rogers was able to find that the FBI office in
Omaha had received a routine query regard-
ing Eric, but because they had no legal cause
to launch an investigation, nothing had come
of it.
Rogers then interviewed Dr. Wilson so he
could get the story firsthand. After their con-
versation he agreed there was definite cause
to believe Eric had met with foul play, that it
seemed quite likely the Dyer Act had been
violated, assuming it \vas the van into which
gasoline had been delivered in Firebaugh,
and promised to do all he could to get FBI

agents in appropriate areas to take an official
interest in the matter.
A fev,' days later Dr. Wilson learned that
Eric had had in his possession when he left
home about $700 in American Express
traveler's checks. On July 24 the American
Express office in New York had received a
telephone call from a person who identified
himself as Eric Wilson, reported his traveler's
checks had been stolen, and requested reim-
bursement. The caller claimed he didn't know
the numbers of the checks, but had purchased
them in Nova Scotia, and was calling from
some\vhere in Iowa. The company refused to
honor such a flimsy claim, and the caller made
no further attempt. vVhile that information
\vas of no direct value in our attempt to find
out what had happened to Eric, it did serve to
reinforce our theory that he had met with foul
play.
The next bit of information, which did turn
out to be quite significant, was a telephone ,

call Dr. Wilson received from Eric's mother.
She had been contacted by the Brunswick,
Maine, police department, inquiring about a
Volkswagen van possibly belonging to her.
They had arrested two persons who had pos-
session of the vehicle, which bore Texas
license plates QFW527-the same number
used in the credit card purchase at Firebaugh.
The arrestees admitted having stolen it. After
finding that the Texas plates didn't belong on
the vehicle, and getting no help from the two
persons arrested as to what type of plates they
had replaced, Brunswick officers had con-
tacted the Volkswagen factory in Germany,
and traced the vehicle through the importer
and the dealer to Eric's mother. She had gone
to Brunswick and definitely identified the van
as Eric's.
I then telephoned Detective Charles
Stephens of the Brunswick Police Depart-
ment, who interviewed the pair arrested in the
van, Raymond Hatch and Jerry Contreras.

Fresno, Calif.
Their story had been a rambling account of
Hatch and a person named Ronald Barrett
stealing a car in Brunswick about July 11,
picking up a third person named Bertram
Davis, and being arrested and incarcerated in
the town of Wyoming, Pennsylvania on July
12, after being involved in an automobile
accident. The oext day, according to Hatch,
he and Davis were released from jail. From
there they hitchhiked to Texas, where, on
Interstate 10 between Houston and San
Antonio, they were picked up by the driver of
the van. At that time he allegedly had with
him another hitchhiker, name unknown, from
Florida. From Texas they traveled to Nebras-
ka, where they picked up Contreras. At a rest
stop in that state Davis and the driver, whose
name they hadn't learned, got into an
argument and left the vehicle. Hatch and
Contreras drove away and returned to Bruns-
wick. No mention was made of what hap-
pened to the hitchhiker from Florida.

Part of Hatch's story sounded plausible, but
we didn't believe the part about being picked
up in Texas. Eric had had no reason to go a
roundabout way through Texas enroute from
Ottawa to Boulder, even if he'd had time. It
seemed more likely that Hatch and Contreras
had first taken possession of the van in
Nebraska, then drove to Texas where the
stolen license plates were installed, proceed-
ed west to California as indicated by the July
21 gasoline purchase in Firebaugh, and then
headed back east, stopping in Iowa on the
24th to telephone American Express and try to
collect on the traveler's checks. They'd ap-
parently read that company's advertisements
about how easy it is to arrange reimburse-
ment for lost or stolen checks, and decided
that would be less risky than trying to forge
and cash them. Either that, or they'd already
cashed all of them, and \vere trying to collect
twice.
When we heard of the arrest of Hatch and
Contreras, and the recovery of the van, we at
first thought the case was finally on its way to
a solution. Although they hadn't admitted
killing Eric, they had told a story which cer-
tainly indicated guilty knowledge of what had
happened to him. But we soon found the
situation was still as frustrating as it had been
before the arrest. All we actually had on them
.. was possession of a stolen vehicle, and for
some reason we never understood, the Bruns-
wick police weren't taking that very seriously.
Stephens told us that the pair could be held

assume responsibility could have placed a

we still didn't know for certain there had been

been committed. Rogers attempted to have

and Contreras regarding the seemingly ob-

disappearance. However, they weren't par-
ticularly enthusiastic, apparently feeling that
as long as the local police agency that had
arrested them wasn't interested in prosecut-
ing them for a felony, there was no point in
their becoming involved.
Meamvhile, we learned that Eric's mother
had hired a private detective firm to do some
additional checking, particularly in Nebraska
and Colorado, hoping to find someone with
pertinent and helpful information. We sin-
cerely hoped that agency would have better
luck than we'd had.
By this time it was early October. Winter
comes early in the part of the country where
Eric had disappeared, and we realized that if
we didn't find out soon where his body was
hidden, the investigation would be seriously
hampered until spring. By now Brunswick
Police Department had furnished photo-
graphs of Hatch and Contreras, and they were
shown to the attendants on duty at the Fire-
baugh service station on the day the gasoline
purchase was made. Neither of them could

had interviewed Hatch. He repeated the story
he'd told the Brunswick police, and admitted
having been in the van on July 21, but claimed
he wasn't in California on that date.
Meanwhile, some of the traveler's checks
were located by the private detective work-
ing on the case, James Comvay. One had been
cashed in Colorado, possibly by Eric, and
three in the area of Phoenix, Arizona. Finally,
the bits and pieces of the case had begun to
come together. New York agents interviewed
wagen van. Hatch told Contreras one of the
others was his partner and the other a hitch-
hiker they'd picked up earlier. They drove
east, and at a rest stop Hatch and his partner
got into an argument, and the partner left.
Contreras didn't know, or neglected to say,
what they were arguing about. He also
claimed he didn't know what happened to the
other hitchhiker. He and Hatch resumed the
trip east, and Hatch at first told him he'd
bought the van in Canada, then later said he'd
a young lady named Kelly Mohr, of Sala-
manca, New York, whose name had been
found on some books and papers in the van.
She accounted for their presence there by
explaining that about July 25 she and a friend
were hitchhiking near Erie, Pennsylvania, and
\vere picked up by t\VO young men in a Volks-
\vagen van. Her description of them matched
that of Hatch and Contreras, and she said they
had Canadian money and travelers checks
issued in Canada.
This bit of new material gave Portland
agents reason to re-question Hatch and Con-
treras, but the latter, \vho was a juvenile, had
been released. He was subsequently located
in Brainard, Minnesota. Agents went there to
question him, and, now that he was no longer
in the same jail as Hatch, he told a decidedly
different story.
Contreras stated he was hitchhiking alone
sometime after mid-July when he was picked
up at a truck stop outside Omaha by Hatch
and two other persons, traveling in the Volks-

stolen it, telling him that he (Contreras) was
now involved in the theft. Later he said to
Contreras, "What if there was a killing in-
volved in this?"
Contreras stated that Hatch had also men-
tioned going through Texas and stealing the
license plates, about being stopped by the
police somewhere, and about going to Las
Vegas, Nevada. He also stated that Hatch had
Canadian money and traveler's checks in his
possession.
Late in November FBI agents in New
Haven, Connecticut finally located Bertram
Davis, who had failed to appear for the
scheduled polygraph examination. This time
he, too, was more talkative. He gave a formal
statement to the effect that about July 15,
somewhere in a wooded area on Highway 70
between Grand,Junction and Rifle, Colorado,
Raymond Hatch had fatally stabbed Eric
Wilson. On Thursday, November 30, the FBI
arrested Hatch, who, when confronted with

the accusation, gave his own statement. He
admitted the murder had taken place at the
time and place described by Davis, but
claimed Davis had wielded the knife. Both
suspects stated the body was left at the scene.
Finally, we had sufficient information for
one particular agency to assume responsibil-
ity for investigation and prosE.cution. All the
information \vas turned over to authorities in
Mesa County, Colorado, who agreed to con-
clude the investigation and file appropriate
charges.
As of the time of writing, April 1979, the
body of Eric Wilson has not been found.
Heavy snow prevented a search during the
winter, and reports are that heavy spring
floods on the Colorado River and its tributar-
ies may have moved it, or covered it with silt.
There is a good possibility, then, that it will
never be found. We fervently hope that
enough evidence can be collected, from all
the many agencies who participated in the
investigation, that conviction can be effected
without its being located.
It would be interesting if \ve could provide
a chronological resume of the sequence of
events from the time the murderers first made
contact with Eric until they were finally
arrested. Trying to do so at this point,
however, would be pure speculation. vVe
hope those facts ,,;'ill corne out during the trial.
In conclusion, there's an irrelevant, but, to
me, an extremely interesting coincidence in
this case. I was on vacation in November, and
early in the month, before Bertram Davis
gave his statement disclosing the location of
the murder, I went on a hunting trip. vVhere?
To the area of Grand Junction, Colorado. 1'd
been trying for three months to find out what
had happened to Eric Wilson, then I inadvert-
ently visited the area where he met his death.
Until his body is found, I will ahrvays wonder
just how close I came to finding its hiding
place.

Proposition 13 After One Year
It is still much too early to estimate the long
term effect of Proposition 13 on local govern-
ment's ability to provide necessary services.
To a casual observer there may not yet appear
to be any significant change. vVe still see
trol cars on the streets, and there has been
o drastic rise in the crime rate,so we must
be receiving an acceptable degree of
protection. We haven't heard of any
burning down because of Proposition
~UU,~t;U lay-offs of firemen. We see road
garbage truck drivers, and park main-
people at work. Our schools and li-
are still open. Politicians make grandi-
~Jnelnts about "increased productiv-
more with \:I,rhat we have." On
it appears that local government is
_ ne!lis as usual, which no doubt leads
peet that there must have been

effect we can't tell any difference in services
rendered.
But there is a difference; not a great one as
yet, thanks to the generosity of the state in
giving some of our own money back to us, but
a definite difference. It's a subtle, creeping
difference that may not become glaringly
obvious for several years. In this article we
point out some of the signs of the inevitable
future inadequacy of public services, hoping
it will help out readers to better understand
the problems local governments face in cop-
ing with Proposition 13, and be better pre-
pared for the prospect of fewer of, and lesser
quality in, the government services we have
come to take for granted.
First, how has Proposition 13 affected the
Fresno County Sheriff's Department? Not at
all adversely, one could conclude, since the
reversal of a previous continuing rise in the
crime rate in the areas w e serve, begun a fevl

years earlier, continued throughout 1978-79.
But that conclusion would be wrong. There
has been a definite adverse effect on the
operation and effectiveness of the depart-
ment, to the extent that only a miracle can
prevent an eventual corresponding effect on
th e crime rate.
First, there was a reduction in management
positions (assistant sheriffs, captains, lieuten-
ants) of about 20%. The number of such posi-
tions previously authorized had been based
on the recommendations of the Peace Of-
ficers Standards and Training Commission of
the state of California. Using methods and
formulae accepted and approved by eminent
authorities in the personnel management
field, P.O.S.T. had made a thorough study of
our department, its functions, responsibilities,
and potential, and had recommended a table
of organization designed to achieve maxi-
mum results from the manpower and other
resources available. A reduction of that mag-

nitude means that each of those remaining in
a management position has more responsi-
bility. Personnel scientists have, based on
long-term, in-depth study, devised practical
limits for management span of control (num-
ber of persons \vhose activities one is respon-
sible for), above which a manager or super-
visor cannot function at his best, because he
can't do justice to each thing for which he is
responsible, Because of the management po-
sitions eliminated by Proposition 13, Fresno
County Sheriff's Department management
personnel now have responsibilities which
exceed those recommended limits.
Another way to look at it is that it was, in
effect, a salary reduction for management, for
captains are now doing what assistant sheriffs
used to do, lieutenants what captains used to
do, and so on down the line. Such a situation is
certainly not conducive to good morale, nor is
it likely to attract the better qualified people
to law enforcement in the future. It's a defin-

ite step backward in our long journey toward
professionalism of law enforcement.
The duties and responsibilities of the line
officers have been affected to a similar
degree. While no one has actually been laid
off due to Proposition 13, there has been
critical delay in filling vacancies caused by
retirement and resignation. This means that
some patrol beats have gone uncovered, pa-
trol officers haven't been able to devote as
much time to certain calls as they should have,
and each detective's case load has increased to
the point that he can't effectively investigate
all the cases assigned to him. Several good
officers have resigned to go into other fields
of endeavor, no doubt because of the frus-
tration and uncertainty resulting from the
proposition. And, of course, no new positions
have been authorized, nor are they likely to be
in the foreseeable future, to keep pace with
the steady population growth in the county.
Many people consider clerical positions

non-essential, and think that those who fill
them spend their time at tasks which are
nothing but bureaucratic red tape and paper
shuffling. That may be true in some agencies,
but not in the Fresno County Sheriff's De-
partment. Someone has to process and file for
safekeeping the prodigious amount of paper
work that is either required by law, or is
necessary for the successful prosecution of a
criminal. It is only common sense that clerical
specialists should be employed to do such
jobs, rather than have deputy sheriffs, whose
pay is considerably higher, spend time typing
and filing when they should be patrolling the
county or investigating crimes. Yet, we lost a
few clerical positions, and are likely to lose a
few more. We've already seen a few instances
wherein a deputy sheriff is spending an in-
ordinate amount of time at a typewriter or a
file cabinet because of a lack of clerical
personnel, and those instances will no doubt
become more frequent. But, wasteful as· it

may be, we'll have to live ",,lith it. vVithout the
paper work being done, law enforcement
can't function, and if we don't have enough
clerical personnel, officers ,vill have to do it.
Another situation which will eventually
seriously hamper our operation is the limita-
tion on purchase of equipment, either for
replacement of non-serviceable existing
items, or additional items. In the same way a
family ,,,ith a tight budget decides to make
the old car last another year, we've heen told
to make do with what we have. But even the
family who can't afford a new car this year
may have some hope they'll be ahle to do so
next year. In our situation, there is no such
hope in sight. The budge tary limitations im-
posed by Proposition 13 are simply too strin-
gent and unrealistic. We can't provide an
acceptable level of service forever without
someday being able to buy ne,,, equipment.

law, he retained and safeguarded. Criminals
become more sophisticated, and rules we
must follow pertaining to evidence, appre-
hension, and detention become more com-
plex. This means more and better equipment
is required, and more time must be expended,
to gather evidence for a successful prosecu-

Neither the sociologists, the penologists, the
clergy, nor the schools are making any head-
way in their efforts to eradicate or reduce
crime hy attacking it at its source. The police
are thus as necessary as ever if some measure
of protection from the criminal element is to
be provided the law ahiding citizen. Mean-
while, the population continues to increase,
which means that even though the percentage

So, frankly, the situation doesn't look hope-

or for local government in general.

history of suspects, vehicle registration and
drivers license information, whether or not a
certain person is wanted, etc. Fortunately, this
system was purchased before Proposition 13,
for, while it is an invaluable aid to criminal
investigation and officer safety, and a sound
investment, it is~expensive, and we'd never be

Photos #4, 5 and 6-Two or three years ago a
simple and inexpensive beautification pro-
gram was begun in Courthouse Park. Flower
beds were bordered with miniature grape-
stakes; unsightly, overgrown shrubs were
replaced; trees were trimmed, etc. By careful
timing of seeding and transplanting, most
flower beds in the park were a mass of color
most of the year. These three photos, made of
three of the most prominent flower beds in
May when there should be plenty of flowers
in bloom, feature nothing but weeds. In other
areas one sees weeds and tree saplings mar-
ring the effect of flowers or greenery. There
are still gardeners at work in the park, but
apparently there aren't enough of them to
maintain the park in its former immaculate
condition.

though, in the past they were repaired almost
immediately, especially in the case of a stop

this damage had been done for several weeks
when the pictures were made, and when
checked a few weeks later, still hadn't been

of Proposition 13, there is not enough money

continues to furnish regular size automobiles
for patrol. Hopefully, that policy will be
maintained, for it's hard to imagine an officer
answering a code 3 call (using red lights and
siren in responding to an emergency) in a
compact. Even full size cars aren't always
safe, as indicated by what happened to this
one \vhen it was struck from the·rear by
another vehicle while the officer was stopped
at a stop sign. It burst into flames, burning the
paint off the righthand side. Fortunately, the
officer was able to escape from the burning
vehicle \vithout serious injury. Would he have
been so lucky had he been patrolling in a
compact? But it could come to that.

The Police Officer Cou'nselor
Editor's Note-In last year's edition of The
Review we presented two points of view
regarding the duties of the department's
counselor-his, and that of some of the
officers' wives who had participated in one of
his programs. This article, reprinted by per-
mission from the FBI Law Enforcement
Bulletin; presents a more general and com-
an im-
UIII\,1,,&I,v response of assistance from all police
it is the broadcast that a fellow
is in trouble and needs help. It is almost
a separate emergency switch exists inside
officer which' is specially reserved for
of call. When the switch is activated,
officers rally to the aid of one of their
to a degree unlike any other profession.
a response is a tribute to the tremendous
of brotherhood among police officers;
all face the stark realization that at any
moment "that call could be for me."
common identity and awareness of
problems may be a relatively un-
resource for dealing with serious
problems associated with the polic-
as well as the professional dangers.

prehensive point of view, and tends to con-
firm the theory that such a person can, if
utilized properly, be of great value to a
department generally, and to its personnel
individually. Unfortunately, ours has become
a luxury we can no longer afford. The
counseling program was a recent victim of
Proposition 13.
The Problem
Many police officers are in trouble today
and need help. The trouble is caused by stress
overload, and the need is as urgent as the
patrol car broadcast requesting assistance.
Current literature on the police profession
abounds with articles discussing police prob-
lems, such as divorce, alcoholism, and suicide.
The April 1978 issue of The Police Chief is
devoted to an examination of the "Pitfalls of
Policing." Its editorial declares:
"The impact of psychological stress ap-
pears to be reaching crisis proportions and
manifests itself in forms of behavior ranging
from reduced job effectiveness to suicide, an
act constituting the ultimate loss for the
officer's family as well as for the department
and the community."l

A recent and controversial book by a police
psychiatrist claims that 35 percent of the
police officers presently employed are psy-
chologically unsuited for their jobs. Not only
are they unfit for duty, according to Dr.
Edward E. Shev, a San Francisco area poUce
psychiatrist, but they are dangerous.
Dr. Shev goes on to say that an additional 60
percent of today's poUce officers, although
basically sound from the psychiatric point of
view, are often in need of some sort of
guidance in order to recognize their personal
weaknesses and to overcome the adverse
effects of job pressures.2
Psychologists from the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health have
been studying the effects of job stress on
police officers for several years. They con-
clude that:
" ... police work becomes one of the few
jobs which has a potent adverse effect on the
total life of the worker. That is, the police-
man's job affects his own personal social life,
his family's social life, his children's percep-
tion of him as a father, etc."3
The job makes great demands on the
mental, emotional, and physical capabilities
of the officer-demands that are all too often
so stressful that they begin to destroy the
individual~
There has been a great deal of research
conducted on the occupation of the police
officer in recent years; the results of much of
this research suggest several major stress
problem areas which are associated with the
lav.r enforcement profession.
The Problem Areas
One major stress area involves the basic
philosophical question, "What is the role of
the police in today's society?" Most of those
who have analyzed the police role have noted
that on the street level the job is fraught with
contradictions and inconsistencies.4 · Except

for general statements like "enforce the law
and maintain order," the duties of the police
officer depend upon such diverse factors as
the oath of office, the law, court decisions,
departmental policy, informal quota systems,
the political climate, community pressures,
common sense, and the personality of the
chief of police.s However, police officers who
patrol the street find that the legalistic solu-
tions to human problems are often inap-
propriate, and common sense solutions are
frequently second guessed.
The role conflict and ambiguity inherent in
the job itself are compounded by the dis-
torted, fictionalized media image of the
police officer, creating unreal expectations in
both citizens and recruits. Many new police
officers are genuinely confused and mistaken
about the nature of the job. Dr. Martin Reiser,
Los Angeles Police Department psychologist,
refers to one "macho" form of mistaken role
identity as the "John Wayne Syndrome."6

With approximately 39 percent of prime time
television based on law enforcement themes,7
the public is constantly being bombarded
with the tough, aggressive "super cop," an
image in contrast with the helpful, friendly,
professional officer that modern training aca-
demies are trying to graduate today.
A second maior problem area concerns the
environment in which the police officer must
function successfully. The nature of his work
takes the officer into sections of the jurisdic-
tion where he is most likely to experience
frustration and anxiety in his interactions with
people. Even after considerable training and
street experience, an officer may often feel ill
at ease and disoriented when handling calls in
these areas. He tries to deal with serious
matters among people who possess a life style
and value system different from his own, and
because of this, may suffer from a condition
which sociologists term "culture shock." C.ul-
tural shock, applied to police work by Victor

Strecher in his book, The Environment of
Law Enforcement,8 is the discomfort one
feels \ when he moves from one cuI ture to
another and cannot accurately interpret, pre-
dict, and influence the behavior of those
around him. There is a general loss of familiar
cues and symbols, such as words, gestures,
facial expressions, customs, etc. This discom-
fort and social strangeness often predispose
the person (in this case, the officer) to the
development of negative attitudes about the
people, and he begins to anticipate unpleas-
ant interactions with those persons who are
unlike himself.
Harvard University Professor James Q.
'Nilson describes it as follows: "The working
environment of the police is not only charged
with emotion and suspicion, it is often, in the
eyes of the police, hostile and uncoopera-
tive."9

support from inside the police profession to
encourage formation of a separate police
subculture. The policeman's world can be-
come insulated from the outside world by a
cohesive, high-identity peer group which can
exert powerful influence over the officer's
conduct and behavior.
Another .area of concern deals with the
officer's personal life. The job can dominate
his life, both on duty and off. Time spent
away from home slowly increases, and many
police officers become so absorbed in their
work that they become a kind of "worka-
holic." Shift work and the police subculture
combine to limit an officer's friends to asso-
ciates only. "Shop talk" commands conver-
sation at work and home, and spouses find
themselves competing with what appears to
be their mates' first love-the job. Add to
these problems the officer's greater tempta-
tion for sexual infidelity, the development of
'vvhat appears to be a coldness and hardness in

personality, limited family interaction (es-
pecially with the children), insensitive "in-
terrogation" techniques used in discussions
with family m embers, and increased use of
alcohol and drugs, and marriages become
strained to the breaking point.10
Police departments researching marriage
failures among their officers find widely
varying results. Dr. Martin Reiser reported in
1972 that the Seattle Police Department dis-
covered 60 percent of its officers were di-
vorced during the first three years on the
force. In contrast, the Los Angeles Police
Department experienced a five percent di-
vorce rate during the first three years on the
job, and found 21.1 percent of the total force
in divorced status.I!
The Salt Lake City Police Department was
said to have a four percent divorce rate. The
Tacoma, Washington, Police Department has
been reported as having 82 percent of its force
divorced, and the San Jose, California, Police

D epartment estimated its divorce rate to be
be tween 50 and 70 percent. J2 Another survey
reported divorce rates in police departments
in Baltimore, \1aryland, as 17 percent; in
Santa Ana, California, as 27 percent; and in
Chicago as 33.3 percent.13 Despite what
emphasis one wishes to place upon such
statistics, m(,)st experts would agree that a
stable family relationship is a significant
contributing factor to a successful law en-
forcement career;14 an unstable relationship
would most likely have the opposite result.
A fourth area of stress overload for police
officers is the situational crisis. Many officers
experience trauma after being involved in a
highly charged situation, such as a shooting.
Some find it difficult to cope with certain
instances of injury and death, and there are
numerous occasions when police officers
become very depressed by instances of vic-
timization, injustice, and public apathy. ~ome
officers get too deeply and personally in-

volved in certain cases, while those involved
in undercover assignments experience in-
tensely stressful ordeals. The situational crisis
is a critical, high-stress time when the officer
urgently needs help.ls
In addition to these major problem areas,
police officers are frustrated by numerous
organizational factors, ranging from poor
equipment to lack of administrative sup-
port. 16 Some officers cannot adjust to a
department's disciplinary action; others who
are disillusioned are often tempted to take
advantage of corruption opportunities.17 Af-
ter a prolonged period of time in frustrating
and apparently hopeless conditions, many
officers experience "burn-out"'S and culture
fatigue,19 finding it difficult to cope with the
boredom and inactivity of some assignments.
One study reported by Wayne C. Richard
and Ronald D. Fell reveals police officers in
the State of Tennessee to have an incidence of
health problems somewhat higher than other
occupations.2o (See Hans Selye's "Diseases of
Adaption.")21 They also have significantly
higher rates of premature deaths than the
general population and rank third among
occupations in suicide rates .22
The kinds of personal problems confront-
ing police officers range from mild mal-
adjustments to severe disturbances. As with
the general population, the majority of these
problems do not require hospitalization or
intensive psychotherapy; however, most do

require attention and assistance for successful

Programs
In an attempt to meet the psychological
needs of their officers, police departments
have instituted a variety of programs. Prob-
ably one of the hrst attempts to help the
troubled officer was the inclusion of a police

usually a local priest, minister, or rabbi who
voluntarily worked with the agency in an
effort to care for the spiritual needs of the
officers. He was available to offer guidance
and assistance to officers and their families
during troubled times, and also aided police
with some of their duties, such as delivering
death messages. Today, many police chap-
lains are involved in counseling, and are
generally considered to be a very valuable
asset to the department. But the increase in
police personal problems suggests that an
additional dimension in counseling is needed.
\1ost major police departments have initi-
ated psychological service units staffed by
psychologists arid other mental health pro-
fessionals. While being on the department
payroll and under the direction of the chief,
they still possess a certain amount of auton-
omy. Many of these units have offices apart

from the police department so that police
officer clients do not risk embarrassment and
loss o~ privacy when seeking assistance, and
flexible hours for greater availability to of-
ficers and members of their families. Contact
is usually on a voluntary basis; however, many
police administrators also encourage super-
visors to refer officers with problems. Coun-
seling in the unit is conducted on a confiden-
tial basis-in accordance with professional
ethics and with no report furnished to the
department administrators.
In addition to counseling, many psycho-
logical service units participate in a wide
range of administrative and operational func-
tions, such as recruit selection, screening and
promotion boards, training programs, re-
search projects, liaison with mental health
agencies, management consultations and field
emergencies (suicide, hostage, etc.). Some are
also involved in the psychological profiling of
criminals and the use of hypnosis as an in-
vestigative aid.
Department psychologists have noted a
number of problems in their work with
police,2:3 one of 'which is maintaining client
confidentiality. Some police administrators
want feedback on problem officers, or oc-
casionally, an officer may be dangerous and
his condition should be communicated to his
~superiors. Police psychologists say the b es t
way to handle these problems is to establish
clear ground rules with the department ad-

ministration, as well as with the client officer,
early in the relationship.
Another problem involves the acceptance
of the psychologist by the officers. Police
psychologists note they are initially distrusted
by officers and suggest the psychologist
accompany officers on patrol to gain insight
into the job and acceptance from the officers.

number of citizen complaints, are involved in
frequent physical confrontations, or have
other negative police-citizen encounters, they
are referred to a panel of their peers-police
officers selected to serve on the board be-
cause they experience minimum social fric-
tion yet are very effective on the street. The
board officers must enjoy a sound reputation
and high credil:5ility among the line officers.
Meetings of the board are strictly confidential
and nonpunitive in nature. The peer officers
try to analyze cases in which the officer has
been involved, while pointing out, tactfully,
that they all do the same job. They discuss
how to handle problem situations and present
alternatives and common sense techniques to
the officer experiencing difficulty.
The Oakland, California, Police Depart-
ment pioneered this approach and claims a
great deal of success with it. 26 On the other
hand, the Kansas City, Missouri, Police De-
partment experimented with a form of peer
panel and determined it to be largely non-

Other attempts to set up programs tohelp
police officers with problems have been
oriented toward specific problem areas;
many major police departments have pro-
grams designed to aid the alcoholic. These
programs are often begun and staffed by
rehabilitated police officer alcoholics and are
usually associated with national treatment
associa tions.

"The police experience which [the police officer
counselor] holds in common with h'is client would give
him valuable insight and might make him more accept-
able to the client than an outside psychologist."
If police departments seeking help for
troubled officers do not have "in-house"
programs, they are forced to refer their
troubled officers to community mental health
facilities or private counselors. There is lim-
ited research concerning the success of such
referrals, but initial efforts suggest that police
officers are reluctant to utilize community
mental facilities for their own problems.
Although police officers seem to experience a
great deal more stress and resultant emotional
problems than the average person, they do
not appear to seek he1p at mental health
centers at greater than average rates. 28

There are many problems involved in the
referral of troubled officers to outside mental
health professionals. First, a police officer is a
member of a subculture which says that he
must handle his own problems. Emotional
problems are frequently perceived as weak-
nesses and therefore become threats to the
macho self-image of "the crime fighter."
Secondly, the officer may be reluctant to go
for counseling where many of his own "street
people" may be occupying seats next to him.
Then, there is the general distrust of behav-
ioral scientists which seems to stem from the
fact that behavioral scientists and .law en-

forcement representatives have too often
been on opposite sides of the great law en-
forcement debates of our times, i.e., punish-
ment, rehabilitation, social disorder, civil dis-
obedience, etc.
The Need
Literature reflects that a large number of
police officers have job-related personal
problems which adversely affect their job
performance and personal lives. The majority
of these problems are not of the major mental
illness variety and probably would not re-
quire long-term psychotherapy. Enlightened
police administrators from large departments
are responding to this need with a variety of
programs, but many police officers go un-
aided because of lack of funds, unavailability
of trained counselors, and reluctance to turn
to community mental health resources.
A Potential Solution
Police departments could set up "in-house"
counseling programs utilizing their own of-
ficers who are properly trained in counseling
skills. Selected police officers, perhaps with
undergraduate degrees in the behavioral sci-
ences, could go to local colleges and univer-
sities, enroll in counseling programs, and
begin to learn the urgently needed skills.

cation counselors to aid them in understand-
ing specific student problems. Gary S. Belkin,
professor of counseling at Long Island Uni-
versity, offers a definition of practical coun-
seling for education which could easily be
altered to fit the needs of the police agency.
"Practical counseling may be defined as the
total counseling process, underlined by a
coherent philosophy and self-awareness,
practiced with a commitment to the client's
total growth, and encompassing face-to-face
interviews, group processes, school services,
testing programs, extracurricular activities,
vocational and educational information, and
anything else which contributes to the client's
development and fulfillment as a person."29
Belkin distinguishes between counseling
and psychotherapy in the summary of the first
chapter in his book.
"Counseling and psychotherapy, although
often used interchangeably, were shown to
have different meanings in their operational
senses. Both do treat emotional, adjustment,
and behavioral problems, and both vary in the
degree of intensity, depending upon the
practitioner. But while psychotherapy is built
upon a comprehensive theory of personality,
a psychopathology, and a specific corpus of
techniques, counseling is built upon an under-
lying philosophy of life, including theories of
value, knowledge, and reality. In this respect,
we may consider counseling as a broader
discipline than psychotherapy, since it treats
the whole person in the context of his inter-

personal and experiential environment,
whereas psychotherapy concentrates on the
symf!tomatic, neurotic, or pathological as-
pects of the personality.":36
There are some departments which have
attempted this approach; the Boston Police
Department is one example. Its counseling
unit began as an alcoholic counseling pro-
gram. Soon police officers with other kinds of
personal problems began seeking the assist-
ance of the alcoholic program counselors
(three police officers who are rehabilitated
alcoholics themselves). As more nonalcoholic
clients sought help, the need to learn greater
counseling skills became apparent. The of-
ficers contacted the Boston University Coun-
selors Education Program, and a course of
study was set up to teach the counseling
officers a variety of counseling techniques.31
Today the Boston Police Department's "Stress
Program" is well-established and is helping
dreds of fellow officers through difficult
th any new venture, setting up such a
ould entail a number of problems
the university and for the police
dep t. But little by little, the problems
would be worked out and the benefits would
be tremendous.
Such a counseling program would be in
reach of most police budgets. The police
officer counselor could apply his new-found
knowledge to a variety of common police
problems. He could assist in training pro-

grams in areas such as crisis intervention, use
of community resources, dealing with police
personal stress, etc., and could set up peer
review panels from the counseling perspec-
tive. The police experience which he holds in
common with his client would give him
valuable insight and might make him more
acceptable to the client than an outside psy-
chologist. Finally, the police officer counselor
could refer clients to non-police counselors
and psychotherapists when necessary and
also serve to smooth out some of the distrust
and suspicion which might arise in the for-
mation of that relationship.
Reaching a greater number of these trou-
bled police officers would be of great benefit
to the police department and to the com-
munity. but most of all, the call for assistance
of a police officer in trouble would be
ans\vered as it has been in the past, by one of
his own.

"We Don't Build Roads Any More"
By Lieut. Dale Reed
The evolution from an obscure "road
camp" in Los Gatos Canyon, between Coalin-
ga and Hollister, to the present Fresno County
Branch Jail has been a long, at times painful,
always interesting, and sometimes even funny
process. The Los Gatos Creek Canyon Road
Camp was established in 1939 under the
administration of Sheriff George Overholt.
Record keeping was a somewhat casual mat-
ter in those days, so there is very little infor-
mation available about the facility before
1945. That year Melvin Willmirth, later elec-
ted Sheriff, was appointed superintendent,
following his discharge from World War II
service in the U .S. Navy.
In the early years a judge had the authority
to sentence a person convicted of a mis-
demeanor directly to the road camp.Later the
law was changed so that the sentence was to
the custody of the sheriff, and at the jail a
detefIllination was made as to where he
would serve his time. Because there was more
freedom of movement, better food, and fresh
the road camp was considered by most
better facility of the two, even though the
inmates were expected to work for their
and butter. Most were assigned to work
whose job was to hack out the rocks
picks, shovels, and dynamite to make a
.......'u"'.. roadway from Coalinga to the San
Benito County line, southeast of Hollister. In
a sense it was a "make work" project, for the
amount of traffic between the Coalinga area
and southeastern San Benito County wouldn't
have justified the expense of constructing a
road by conventional methods. But the phys-
icallabor, wholesome food, and regularhours
were good therapy, and helped many an
alcoholic get his life straightened out.
Inmates were supervised while working by
"crew foremen," and at night in the camp
were under the authority of "night watch-
men." Because of the isolated location of the
camp, the custodial personnel lived there for
weeks at a time. They were not sworn law
enforcement officers, but were deputized as
"deputies without compensation" so they
could legally search for escaped prisoners.
They wore no uniform, and were given no
special training for the difficult job they per-
formed. There are still a few "01' timers"
around who can ten very interesting stories
about some of the hunts for escapees from the
camp. Searchers as well as escapees were
hampered in their movement by the rough
terrain, almost impenetrable brush, and lack
of roads. In fact, for that reason there were
few successful escapes, for there was no place
to go except into the wilderness, unless one
wanted to take a chance on the road to
85
Coalinga, the only one leading out of the area.
Some would-be escapees were glad to be
located, for it didn't take much travelling
through the surrounding countryside to make
them realize the camp wasn't such a bad place
after all. Tracking them was made easier by a
special cut made in the heels of their county
issued shoes, assuming the fleeing inmate
found a patch of soil smooth enough that a
footprint would be left.
In 1948, due to the increase in prisoner
population and cost of transportation to and
from the Los Gatos Camp, a second facility
was established at Kearney Park. There not
being any roads to build in that area, it was
more of a farming operation, and was called
the Fresno County Honor Farm. There the
custodial personnel began wearing uniform
shirts with distinctive shoulder patches bear-
ing the words "Fresno County Honor Farm."
Most of the employees lived with their fami-
lies in houses left over from the days when the

property was part of the estate of M. Thea
Kearney. Both facilities were under the com-
mand of Melvin WiUmirth, who occupied one
of the residences at Kearney. The Los Gatos
Camp was directly supervised by Parris
Eakles, and the Kearney facility by a Mr.
Lamont, their titles being Assistant Superin-
tendent. <
In 1954 Melvin \Villmirth defeated Sheriff
Joseph B. Tracy, and was sworn in the follow-
ing January. The Board of Supervisors left
him in charge of both camps, although they
were not a part of the Sheriff's Department,
but a separate department under the direct
administration of the Board. Although the
Sheriff was forced to wear two hats, there was
no conflict of interest, and the arrangement
facilitated the movement of inmates between
the two minimum security institutions and the
jail. Newly sentenced prisoners were screened
at the jail by a formal screening board, and
then an employee from the camps, who

successful. a d was pur hased at the north-
east corner of Elm and Elkhorn Avenues, in

dred acres of agebrush and alkali.

The Board had found enough money in the
budget to pay for the land, but there was little
available for construction. Rather th an wait
until money was available, Sheriff Willmirth
decided to go ahead with the project, using
inmate labor and whatever materials he c uld
find. Soil was found that was suitabl for
making brick, and a makeshift but eff ctive
manufacturing plant was devised. Inmates
from the Kearney Park camp were put to
work making bricks, and over the next severa)
months they produced enough bricks, similar
in appearance to pumitile, to build the ad-
ministration building, the kitchen and mess
hall, the barracks, the recreation haH, and the
laundry. Money had been found to purchase
plumbing, roofing materials, and other ne-
cessities, and in 1958 the construction was far
enough along that the Kearney facility was
closed, and the inmates moved to the new
plant. The following year the inmat frqm
the Los Gatos camp joined them, and the long

planned Fresno County Industrial Farm be-
came a reality.
Along with the new facility came new job
titles. Mr. Eakles was designated Chief Su-
pervisor, and Les Lowery was named Assis-
tant Chief Supervisor. Other custodial per-
sonnel became either Supervisors Grade I or
II, with the Grade II Supervisors working the
day shift and overseeing the work performed
by the inmates, and the Grade I Supervisors
working nights and maintaining security.
Capacity of the facility was 360 inmates at
that time, and it was generally full. In addi-
tion to operating the farm itself, crews of
inmates were regularly bussed to various
county park sites where, under the direction
of a Grade II Supervisor, they developed
picnic areas, built barbecue grills, and did
clean-up and maintenance work. The exten-
sive and modern county park system enjoyed
by Fresno County residents today had its
beginning in the efforts of the crews from the
old Road Camp and the Industrial Farm.
Many of the inmates were assigned to work
at the Farm, in the kitchen, the truck farm, the
laundry, or with the small cattle herd. Not all
of the acreage was being utilized at that time,
because the only available farming equip-
ment was modified horse-drawn implements
that had been scrounged somewhere, and
~ obsolete tractors handed down from other
departments. It's amazing that they were able
to function at all, and it was only the foresight
and dedication of the employees that made it

possible. They could see the potential the
facility had; how with a nominal monetary
investment, careful planning, and a great deal
of hard work, which they were more than
willing to provide, the Farm could be made
into a model facility of its type, fulfilling a
real need for the county. What they couldn't
understanq was why those in policy-making
positions didn't share their vision, and were so
reluctant to provide necessary funds. They
blamed it on the fact that while the Sheriff

of whieh they were not a part. He therefore
didn't have time to do all the planning and
other administrative tasks necessary to ensure
proper development, and no one else with

problem. The employees used to refer to

worked there even knew there was such an
organization. Many times citizens driving
down Elm Avenue would see the yard lights
and drive in, thinking it was anything from a
race track to a drive-in movie.
It was not uncommon during-that time for
the midnight shift to be staffed by only one
officer. In thi.s day and age it seems unreason-
able that there would be just one man in camp
with 350 prisoners. It must be remembered
that at that time the prisoners at the Industrial
Farm were mostly those doing time on P.C.
647f (public intoxication) or other true mis-
demeanor committments. Very seldom was
there a prisoner who had been originally
charged with a felony and that charge re-
duced to a misdemeanor.
Things pretty well remained the same until
1970, when the Industrial Farm became an
integral and full-fledged part of the Sheriff's
Department. Chief Deputy Al Collins and
Sgt. Herman Saghatelian were the first Com-
mander and Assistant under the new arrange-
ment, and were given the responsibility of
effecting the changeover and ironing out any
problems that might not have been antici-
pated. After all the dust had settled, com-
mand of the Industrial Farm was given to
Lieutenant Don Dennis, who recently retired
from the Department as a captain, and Sgt.
John Swenning, who later served several
years as Chief of Police at Kingsburg.
Lt. Dennis arranged for the first official
inventory of equipment; it hadn't seemed

1973, when it became the booking facility for
hundreds of striking UFW members who had
insisted on being arrested to focus public
attention on their cause. Normal farm opera-

and more advanced farming methods. For the
first time commercial fertilizer was utilized.
land that had been idle for years because of
alkali was treated and put into production. A
school program was started for the inmates,
and so many other improvements made that
it would be impossible to mention them all.
In additicm to the improvements initiated
by Lieut. Cunningham, three other major
changes took place during his tenure as com-
mander. First, Harold McKinney became
sheriff, and he established the Correction
Bureau, consisting of the main jail and the
Industrial Farm under an Assistant Sheriff,
and a ranking structure of Correctional Of-
ficers. Then, in the spring of 1976 a barracks
was remodeled to accommodate female pris-
oners, and in May the first contingent of
women was brought to the Farm. Prior to that
time females sentenced to long jail terms had
been required to do their time in the county
jail, simply because there was no better place
available as there always had been for the
men. Finally, in 1978, in order to provide
more flexibility in movement and incarcera-
tion of all prisoners, the Industrial Farm of-
ficially became the Fresno County Branch
Jail.
The Fresno County Branch Jail has a long
and colorful past. ,,yhile most of the colorful
individuals who staffed and operated it as the
Road Camp, the Honor Farm, and the Indus-
trial Farm have now retired, through their
efforts this facility has evolved into one of the

most productive, progressive, and pleasant (if
a jail can be described as being pleasant)
minimum security facilities in the state.
The Branch Jail now has facilities to hold
220 male inmates and 40 females. There are
maximum security cells for 10 inmates, and, as
a branch of the main jail, we can legally book
and hold for court appearance persons arrest-
ed, thus saving patrol officers in the south-
west sector many miles of driving. The staff
consists of a lieutenant in command, four
sergeants, eighteen correctional officers, ten
civilian personnel, which includes clerks,
cooks, and the laundry manager.
The Branch Jail maintains a commercial
type laundry, which handles all the laundry
for the Main Jail and the Branch Jail. The onl y
paid employee of the laundry is the manager,
who supervises a crew of from twelve to
fifteen inmates. One of the correctional of-
ficers, C/O II Gene McClurg, is an experi-
enced herdsman, and has been working at the
facility since 1959. He is responsible, using

over our facility this year.
In the author's opinion, it would not be in-
appropriate to call the facility the "Wild Bill
Branch Jail," in recognition of all that Lieut.
Cunningham did to make it what it is today.
One of Bill's pet peeves was for some unthink-
ing "donkey," as he would call the offender,
to refer to it as "the road camp." His standard
reply to such an error was a glare that would
melt an iceberg, and the coldly polite state-
ment, "We don't build roads any more." And
indeed we do not. We officers and civilian
personnel who work at the Branch Jail are
proud of the facility and of what it has
become. As its present commander, I can say
it could not have been accomplished without
the backing of the Sheriff and the dedication
and pride of the people working here, both
now and in the past.

GONE FISHIN'
In the past it has been customary to present a quite comprehensive
biographical sketch of each member of the department who had retired
the previous year. However, so many left the department in 1978, via
either service or disability retirement, that such a presentation is not
practical this year. We'd have enough such material to fill the magazine.
We therefore present only the basic information about each retiring
member: name, service date, principal assignments, special services, etc.
This brevity, however, does not detract from the sincerity of our
appreciation for their contributions to the department and to the law
enforcement profession, nor from the warmth of our wishes for good luck
and success in whatever manner they choose to spend their retirement
years.

that, with cooperation between law enforce-
ment and the community, problems can be
worked out and solutions found.
The Department has also implemented a
Burglary / Armoed Robbery Prevention Pro-
gram with the businesses in Clovis. A movie is
shown on armed robberies; it teaches about
alarm systems and the "dos" and "don'ts"
during a robbery. A suspect was shot during
an armed robbery during the last year and,
with the increase in this type of crime, the
need for this program was imperative.
To further deal with the increase in crime,
emphasis has been placed on training. Of-
ficers have attended classes on crime scene
investigation, advanced fingerprint classifi-
cation, etc. Chief Higgason and his staff feel
that, to properly handle the major crime
problems, expertly and professionally trained
officers are needed.
With the possibility of a major shopping
center at Clovis and Shaw A venues and the
City's continued growth, the Department
continues to prepare for the future to meet the
changing needs.
During the past year William "Wild Bill"
Beaver was promoted from Sergeant to Lieu-
tenant and placed over the Patrol Section of
the Operations Division; Bill Jeans and Larry

During the past year the population of the
City of Clovis exceeded the 30,000 mark and,
along with the population increase, came the
obvious rise in crime. A special "Neighbor-
hood Alert" Program was implemented to
combat the increase. To date, fifteen sepa-
rate "neighborhood alert" groups have been
formed with many good results. Much of the
"old time" cooperation and communication
between neighbors, businesses and the com-
munity as a whole have evolved from this
program.
To cite an example, in the area of Peach and
Gettysburg A venues a neighborhood alert
meeting was held. The neighbors complained
of vandalism, drinking, noise and speeding in
and around a local roller skating rink. At
Captain Gino Pishione's suggestion, a meet-
ing was set up to include neighbors, the
apartment managers, and roller rink manage-
ment/employees. The results of the com-
munication which took place at the meeting
were that speed bumps were placed in the
parking lot of the roller rink, chain gates were
added at each driveway, and additional se-
curity personnel were hired. Within ninety
days the vandalism rate was "down" 50%, the
speeding had stopped, and the neighbors
were"happy. This example clearly illustrates

FIREBAUGH POLICE DEPARTMENT
By Henry Zavala
The Firebaugh Police Department, under
the leadership of Chief of Police Howard C.
Manes, serves a popu~ation of approximately
4,000 permanent residents, and several times
that number at the peak of the harvest season.
First line supervision is maintained by Sgt.
Dennis Palmer and Sgt. Rod Lake. The De-
partment maintains a twenty-four dispatch
center for police, fire, and ambulance ser-
vices. Each officer is a qualified emergency
medical technician. Because all emergency
ambulance calls in the community are han-
dled through the police department, each
officer may have the opportunity and respon-
sibility to render actual life saving service to
someone in the community.
Each regular officer meets P.O.S.T. re-
quirements, and each reserve officer has
qualified for actual police duty as prescribed
Penal Code section 832. The reserve
program provides manpower to maintain law

and order at dances, ball games, and other
social functions. The regular force is further
augmented by the Police Cadet program,
designed to give young people interested in a
law enforcement career some idea of the joys
and sorrows of the profession. Under the
direction of Sgt. Palmer, these young men are
responsible for certain office duty and tele-
type operations, and are both a tremendous
help and a credit to the Department.
The Firebaugh Police Department has an
official policy of attempting to actually be-
come involved, in a helpful manner, in the
local problems of the citizens and the com-
munity. Great emphasis is placed on public
relations, and through a series of department
initiated programs, an effort is made to keep
the public informed of the Department's
problems and progress.

Program, and is assigned to work as liaison

between the schools and the police depart-
ment. He devotes a great deal of time to
speeches and demonstrations at the local
schools and before the community's social
and service organizations.
The Police Department has arrangements
whereby matrons are available for trans-
porting female prisoners. Another valuable
asset to the Department is a volunteer under-
water search and recovery team, which works
under the direction of Officer A. Reyes. The
team is often called upon to search one of our
many canals for the body of a drowning
victim, or to recover a submerged auto-
mobile.
The officers of the Firebaugh Police De-
partment are committed to giving the city's
citizens the best police protection possible. In
the wake of Proposition 13, the Department
lost a patrolman position and also a patrol-
man/dispatcher. This had quite an impact
during the summer months of 1978, when the
population of the community grew to be-
tween ten and fifteen thousand, due to the
influx of farm workers.
Nineteen seventy-eight was a good year for
the Department, in spite of the impact of
Proposition 13. A high percentage of our
arrests resulted in conviction, and our prop-
erty recovery figures were also high. The year
;s brought many changes, some for the better,
some for the worse, but all helped to expand
our knowledge of the police profession, and
enhanced our determination to do our best for
the community.

Community Involvement-
The New Theme In Kerman
By Tom Gilpin, Manuel Amparano and A. J.Byington
Harold Grant, new Chief of Police in Ker-
man, is no stranger to municipal growing
pains such as new housing tracts and new
shopping centers, congested traffic, and the
increasing crime rate which accompanies
growth. Grant, who grew up in small com-
munities in the South, recognizes the strengths
and the benefits of bringing his family to a
small community. He is aware that the in-
creased population brought by the building
boom in Kerman will bring new problems to
Kerman's law enforcement.
Prior to assuming command of Kerman's
15-member police department, he served for
nine years as a Sergeant with the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department. Grant says,
"The idea of responding to a rising crime rate

with a call for more men and equipment is
gone with the passage of Proposition 13. The
community must now become involved as an
active part of the police picture."
New Management Objectives
Community-based policing is the concept
with which Chief Grant plans to meet suc-
cessfully the challenges facing the Kerman
police. He has instituted a new management
system designed to motivate his officers' to
identify with and to work within the com-
munity. He counts heavily on his officers to
assist in the formation of management objec-
tives which will involve citizens in combating
the problems which face his agency. Grant
plans to ally his department with schools,

service clubs, the Chamber of Commerce,
senior citizens, and the churches, in his effort
to involve citizens in the functions of the \
department.
Partnership Is Essential In Crime Control
And Prevention
The relationship between the Kerman Po-
lice Department and the people they serve is
the single most important concern of Chief
Grant. He is concerned that communication
not become a one-way street in either direc-
tion. Suggestions and ideas from either the
police orcitizens must be accompanied by the
responsibility and authority to carry out the
resulting programs. The Police Department
will be called upon to define the police func-
tion and to educate the community regarding
that function. This effort has had a sound
beginning, and with the support of the com-
munity several programs have begun and
others are being started.
Some of the programs in the process of
implementation are:
1) Neighborhood Block Watch Program
which organizes people to be alert to criminal
threats to their neighbors' person or property.
2) Student and the Law Program: a joint
program between the school district and the
police department designed to bring police-
men (with special training) into the class-
rooms to instruct students in "Laws for Youth,
Drug/Alcohol Abuse, and safety tips, etc."
3) Y~1CA's National Youth Project Using
Mini-Bikes: (NYPUM) is a program spon-
sored by the YMCA and coordinated through
the Fresno County Probation Department.
The program focuses on junior high school
age youth, both pre-delinquent and youth
with leadership potential. Mini-bikes are sup-
plied courtesy of the Honda Corporation. The
program calls for collaboration between the
police department, schools, service groups,
local businesses and the community.

4) Youth Programs -Police Athletic
League (PAL): in which the department
works with youth in sports through methods
such as ~ponsoring baseball, Pop Warner
football, basketball, soccer, and tennis teams,
swim meets, and others. The department has
begun this effort with the "Pirates," a youth
league baseball team, with Officer Byington
assisting the coach.
Police Explorer or Cadet is a joint effort
with the Police Department and Kerman High
School. The program is designed for boys and
girls 16 to 21 years of age to learn about law
enforcement and to have an opportunity to
work with the community.
5) Vial of Life is a program designed pri-
marily for Kerman's senior citizens and in-

ficers who answer routine calls in the two-

one with the people of Kerman.

community available to the citizens 24 hours a

Team is empowered to sentence the juvenile
to a local work program, to pay restitution, or
to be incarcerated in Juvenile Hall, depend-
ing on past record.
This system receives the overloaded juve-
nile court caseload of lesser crimes and allows
the courts to concentrate on crime cases of
greater severity.

These meetings allow the officers to meet

OFFICERS MEET THE PUBLIC
The role of the police professional has been
altered by both inflation and the tight fiscal
policies of loc; l government brought about
by Proposition 13. Police agencies are not
receiving necessary new equipment and very
careful consideration is given to replacing
worn out equipment presently in use. The
Kerman Police Department is no stranger to
this situation. Chief Grant says, "Law en-
forcement personnel must now increasingly
place the burden on the community to assist in

The Kingsburg Police Department has ex-

years with the retirement of John H. Swen-

Robert Speer was appointed as Acting Chief
until August 1, 1978, when Myron Galchutt,a
Detective Sergeant from the Napa Police
Department, was appointed by the City
Council as Chief of Police for the City of
Kingsburg.
Chief Galchutt, having prior experience
with both the Napa Police Department and
the Gardena Police Department, brings to

experience has been evident with the expan-

of new programs.
The Kingsburg Reserve Officer Program,
under the direction of Sergeant Speer and
Reserve Sergeant Fred Rodriquez, has under-

program allowed for a sergeant and five
officers, where the present program estab-
lished two corporal squad leader positions.

available, the reserve force has been able to
take a more active role and make a greater
contribution towards policing the community.
The Kingsburg Police Department was
fortunate in receiving a grant from the Office
of Criminal Justice and Planning, through
AB90 funding, to employ an officer to act as a
liaison between the Police Department and
the City Schools in an effort to curb juvenile
crime. The program is entitled "JuvenHe De-
linquency Prevention and Diversion Pro-
gram." As the title indicates, the program is
directed toward both prevention, with school
presentations, and diversion, with a local
community work referral program. Officer
Glen Kirkorian was assigned to the position of
Juvenile Officer and has done an outstanding
job coordinating these programs. To date
there have been presentations in both elemen-
tary schools, the junior high school, and the
senior high school. In reference to the success

assistance of surrounding agencies, the Kings-
burg Police Department was able to solve
with arrest six of the seven robbery cases. This
outstanding record has established creditabil-
ity of the department, and has assured its
officers the recognition which they deserve.
Looking ahead a few months, the ground
work has been formulated to implement
"Neighborhood Alert" and "Operation Iden-
tification" programs. The response from the
local businessmen and the community has
been exceptionally positive in getting these
programs established. The Police Depart-
ment is anticipating a kick-off date of June
1979 to complement the proclamation of the
International Association of Chiefs of Police,
that the month of June 1979 be designated as
"Burglary Prevention Month."
Our appreciation is extended to the sur-
rounding agencies for their support and the
expertise that was needed in helping to pro-
vide background information in establishing
some of our new programs.

Focus On Traffic Safety And
Juvenile Delinquency Prevention
PARLIER POLICE DEPARTMENT
The Parlier Police Department has con-
centrated special attention on improving traf-
fic safety conditions for its citizens and on
reducing juvenile delinquency. To deal more
effectively with the traffic safety problem,
P.P.D. obtained a grant through the Office of
Traffic Safety to help fund a Traffic En-
forcement Officer, a traffic vehicle and speed
radar equipment.
The Traffic Enforcement Project consists
basically of the selective enforcement of haz-
ardous traffic violations and identification of
hazardous traffic conditions throughout the
city. In the area of juvenile delinquency pre-
vention P.P.D. has continued its Neighbor-
hood Youth Project Using Minibikes, which is
co-sponsored by the Central Valley Y.M.GA.
In January 1979 Officer Ray Hernandez
Officer Hernandez attended an intensive 40-
hour Traffic Accident Investigation Course at
the Modesto Criminal Justice Center. In
March, Officer Hernandez assisted Mr. Ed-
ward L. '''Tells, Cities Traffic Engineer, De-
partment of Transportation, in conducting a
traffic engineering survey to update and
revise traffic control devices. Since the survey
was completed the city's Public Works De-
partment has been actively involved in post-
ing additional traffic control devices and in
upgrading existing ones.
In addition to improving conditions in
traffic control devices, selective enforcement
of traffic codes has increased by 30% over last
year. This increase comes as a result of in-
creased patrol time by the traffic officer and
through the use of the speed radar system.
was assigned as Traffic Enforcement Officer.

increased with the effective utilization of
radar with very few cases contested in court
by speed violators.
Since the Traffic Enforcement Program is
relatively new, its overall effectiveness will be
evaluated at the end of 1979.
Juvenile delinquency in Parlier has taken a
downward trend during the last three years
mainly as a result of the School Resource
Program. This program is funded through a
grant from the California Council on Crimi-
nal Justice. The School Resource Officer is
assigned to the local schools and maintains
close contact with teachers and school offi-
cials in dealing with juvenile problems. The
SRO gives classroom presentations in grades
K-12 on subjects such as "Drugs of Abuse,"
"Youth and the Law," "Policemen as Com-
munity Helpers," and "Firearm Safety."

P.P.D. sponsors a Neighborhood Youth
Project Using Minibikes as a preventive meas-
ure against juvenile crime. American Honda
furnishes 16 Trail-70 Minibikes, and the Cen-
tral Valley Y.M.C.A. helps administer the
program. P.P.D. recruits participants ranging
from 11 to 15 years old. Each youngster is
assigned a bike to ride each Saturday at a
supervised riding site. One of the main con-
ditions for remaining on the program is that
the youngster stay out of trouble, especially
with the police and juvenile authorities. Once
a youngster becomes closely attached to the
bike he will try hard to "stay clean" so that he
does not lose the privelege of belonging to the
"N.Y.P.U.M. Club." An important facet of the
riding sessions is that the SRO, Sgt. Ben
Tamez, takes the opportunity to counsel any
youngster who may be havingbehavorial

Reedley Police Department
Small Department, Limited Budget,
Unlimited Results
By Dave Caron
With rIsmg costs and inflation, funding
difficulties for law enforcement agencies are
becoming more acute each year. This is par-
ticularly true in small police agencies where
simply maintaining adequate manpower and
equipment consumes most monetary resour-
ces. It is most common, then, for smaller po-
lice departments to exclude from their plan-
ning any type of special service for their com-
munities as well as any type of special train-
ing for their officers. When this happens, both
the image and the effectiveness of the depart-
ment suffer. The City of Reedley stands apart
from this norm in that at this department not
only do we enjoy the benefits of specialty
programs, but also the programs flourish as
well, receiving wide-based departmental par-
ticipation as well as solid community support.
In an agency of less than twenty full time
employees we manage to offer a wide range
of services to our community as well as ex-
perience to our officers. Our special programs
include an extremely active police canine

ficer, a large and well-trained reserve pro-
gram, reserve as well as full time dispatchers,
a progressive firearms program, a Field
Training Officer program, a Youth Services
Officer, an Investigator, and a part time
Crime Prevention Officer.
The Youth Services Officer has the respon-
sibility to work with and in the schools, to
handle juvenile complaints and investigations,
to investigate child abuse and sexual assaults,
and to set up youth diversion programs in the
community. The Investigating Officer works
primarily with the District Attorney, and
investigates adult cases. He must manage to
keep the communication open b etween the
court and the beat officer-not always easy in
a rural community. The Crime Prevention
Officer handles security checks of homes and
businesses, aids violent crime victims, and
works with senior citizen groups and civic
groups. Each of these officers is also avail-
able to speak to requesting organizatons. The

positions are offered on a rotating basis to
interested members of the department, and,
with 'the appointment, arrangements are
made to give the officer additional training
within the specialty field he has chosen.
Complemental to POST training areas, the
Field Training Officer provides in-service
training to both regular and reserve officers.
Thus, updating of new ideas, laws, and tech-
niques is more readily assimilated throughout
the department.
Because of the size and nature of our de-
partment many of these positions overlap. All
must remain flexible and adaptable to the
needs of the department as a whole. Having
provided these services to the community, we
have found the results are quite pleasing. Our
burglary rate has decreased 25% in recent
. During a three-year period it decreased

Probably one of our most successful pro-
grams, certainly the one with the largest
departmental participation and most publi-
city, is our Canine Corps. \Ve have just 16
sworn personnel here, and, in a department
this size, it is quite unheard of to maintain a
large, active canine corps. We currently em-
ploy the services of four trained police dogs,
have two in training and others are on a
waiting list to join their ranks. Our program
not only has been a tremendous asset to our
department but, in addition, several other
agencies have used our program as a model
for their own. Since most of our programs
have followed an evolution similar to that of
the canine corps, tracing its history and de-
velopment may give some idea as to our
ability to efficiently provide what would

normally be considered an expensive spec-
ialty program and stay within a small city
budget.
When the canine corps was initiated in 1974,
the city was plagued with three major crime
problems. Burglary was rising at an epidemic
rate. We were third in total burglaries in our
county (not a good standing, considering our
size), and our per capita rate put us higher
than metropolitan Fresno. In fact, we ,vere
higher per capita than anyone in our entire
county.
Our second major concern ,vas civil unrest.
While a fight involving one to two hundred
rivals may not be much for a department like
Los Angeles, when just t\vo officers are avail-
able it presents some fascinating studies in
strategy (and some costly overtime bills for
the city fathers to pay). Rival groups within
the city kept the officers busy, and early
morning personnel callouts were almost ex-
pected each weekend. There were two homi-

cides and numerous shootings and knifings in
related fights.
Our third priority was the rate at which
assaults upon our officers was increasing.
During the nine months just preceding the
initiation of canine street use, there were
19 major assaults on our officers. These as-
saults resulted in time off for injuries and
court costs, not to mention the inevitable
frustration and anxiety suffered by officers
v.,ho were asked to respond to calls for assis-
tance only to find themselves needing to call
for assistance after they had arrived. "Minor"
assaults on officers were classified as resisting
arrest or interfering with police officers, and
the issue was becoming more complicated
with the increasingly common threat of law-
suits.
Being faced with such statistics in a small
town made it obvious that a need for some
new thinking was necessary. Canine use in
police work has been around for many thous-

ands of years; yet their modern use has been
somewhat limited to large departments. To
use them in such a small community was,
indeed, some "new" thinking, and plans
began to be formed to organize a canine
cmps. At first, a professionally trained dog
was purchased by the city, and a professional
trainer was obtained to work with the officer
chosen as handler. \\lith the addition of a
second, officer-owned dog, the program not
only experienced its first growth but also
began a pattern for future expansion.
The problem of transportation for the
canines was eliminated easily. At the time of
the program's inception the city was partici-
pating in a three-year LEAA burglary grant
which provided us with two patrol cars. As
the canine teams became "street certified"
they were added to the grant as part of the
burglary suppression/suspect apprehension
patrol force. This enabled us to modify one of
the "grant" cars to accommodate the canines
by exchanging the rear seat for a platform.
The canine corps was now a functioning part
of the Reedley Police Department.
investment, one of the used patrol cars would
not be traded in. Instead, the rear seat was
exchanged and it was added to our canine
team. Each year now two of our regular patrol
vehicles are rotated into service as canine
units rather than being traded in. In emergen-
cies, or when repairs deplete our supply of
regular patrol cars, they can still be used by
regular patrol officers.
The program's next step was to mandate
that all future canine additions be owned by
the applicant officer. This not only eliminates
expense to the city but also insures that apply-
ing officers have a real interest in the pro-
gram. Training dogs for police work is a very
difficult and drawn out process, and it was
decided that, if a handler were willing to train
and work on his own time, after the dog was
certified to be used in police work the city
would "rent" the team's services. A subven-
tion check at $60.00 per month was given to
each team, and the city agreed to assist in the
purchase of dog food and payment of veter-
inary fees.
From the beginning, the services of the
professional trainer were only temporary, and
as soon as the officers became aware of how
to work with the dogs, he was released. It
wasn't long until the corps again began to
;; expand and a third team was made street
ready. Grant funding was running out by this
time, so alternatives were needed for trans-
portation. It was decided that, for a one-time

Community support, at first, was slow in
coming; however, the Youth Services Officer
soon took advantage of the corps and began
scheduling canine exhibitions at the elemen-
tary schools. Requests for dog demonstrations
began to come in from civic groups and
neighboring communities, and the city began
to take notice. It was obvious that the corps
was here to stay. The good news did not stop
there, either, as we began also to see results in
our crime statistics. For the first time in four
years our burglary rate was dropping, the
gang wars had diminished in size and inten-
sity and were readily dispersed, and assaults
on officers dropped. In fact, in the corps' first
year there were just three assaults on officers,
none of which took place when a canine team
was present.
The corps was expanded to include a
Master Trainer/Handler at an additional cost
of $90.00 per month, thus enabling one man
to be in charge of training and policy as well as
allowing him to be the fourth team. A "re-
serve corps" was also begun with a maximum

of hvo "reserve teams" who, when certified,
will be given $20.00 per month. The "reserve
corps" must maintain all training and stand-
ards as if they were actual canine corps
members.
Since its beginning the corps has been
called on many times, aiding officers here and
in surrounding cities in the apprehension of
burglary suspects and other wanted felons.
The F.B.I. requested their assistance in trail-
ing an extortionist, and Fresno's S.W.AT.
team asked for help in the apprehension of a
sniper suspect. When President Carter arrived
in our area, the Secret Service called upon our
K-9 teams to secure the fields surrounding the
President. They have taken top awards in
statewide competition and have performed
well in local demonstrations. A small amount
is budgeted each year to enable the teams to
compete in state trials. Overall, the program
has been quite successful.
As mentioned earlier, the city was .pre-
viously receiving funding from an LEAA
grant. vVhile certain of our programs were
first funded with federal and state grant
monies, we have now become self-sufficient.
Each of our specialty programs is maintained
without a single grant-obtained dollar.
We have not, however, turned our backs on
the educational opportunities available with
outside funding. All of our officers have
attended basic police academy. Arrange-
ments were also made so that many of them
could attend a two-week accredited investi-

gation school. Our officers have attended
special courses in homicide, rape, bombing,
arsop, juvenile law and procedure, and bur-
glary investigation-all with the assistance of
outside funding. And so we have managed,
perhaps by working a little short-handed at
times, to upgrade our education and ability
and to improve not only our image but also
our performance as law officers in our com-
munity. Yet, we have been able to achieve our
goals of providing special programs and ser-
vices without maintaining a dangerous reli-
ance on outside funding for personnel. '-\'e
have also attempted to remain flexible and
progressive in our thinking without abandon-
ing sound past principles. vVe have stressed
self-education as a means to further the pro-

ity, and we see specialty services as one means
of improving our service to the City of

By Michaell A. Del Puppo, Investigator
The City of Selma is located in the heart of
the richest raisin producing area in the world.
More than 95~ of the raisin production of the
United States is grown in this area, and 55~ of
it is packed here.
Selma welcomes industry for which there
are large areas available for plant locations.
Many new housing tracts are now under con-
struction to meet the needs of increased
population which has come with the newly
built industrial plants around and near Selma.
Selma now has a population of 12,000.
Selma's Police Department is located in the
downtown area along the Southern Pacific
railroad tracks. The building housing the
department was originally the Southern Paci-
fic passenger train depot, erected in 1918. In
the early 1940s the passenger service was
discontinued. The building was used as a

In 1977, the police department applied for
and received a federally funded public works
grant for $340,000. A new addition of 4,800
square feet was added to the old facility,
while at the same time the old facility was
remodeled to match the new addition. The
addition brought the total square footage of
the police department to 9,800 square feet.
A much-needed security for dispatch was
added. The dispatchers are protected by
bullet proof glass and converse with the
public through an intercom system. Also
added was an upgraded communications
system. This system is one of the newest on
the market, with a two-phase backup system.
If the department's diesel generator should
fail to start, the radios can be switched over to
a backup battery system.
The new addition also included a squad
room, photo lab, locker room with showers,
detective's office, a law library room, and
new offices for the Chief of Police and
captain.
An enclosed sallyport area was built for
bringing in prisoners to the department. The
officer drives his patrol unit to the sallyport
door and radios dispatch to open the electric
door. He then drives his vehicle into the sally-
port. The door closes behind, thus making
it very difficult for a prisoner to escape while Selma Police Department enclosed sallyport areabeing taken from the vehicle to the booking for prisoner intake.

area. The sallyport was not only a great im-
provement in control of prisoners, but is also
used by the Fresno County Sheriff's Depart-
ment, which uses the Selma jail to house pris-
oners awaiting court in our city and other
cities within the jurisdiction of the Sheriff's
Selma Substation. The jail is also used for
temporary detention of prisoners for the
Kingsburg Police Department.
The department has five marked black and
white patrol vehicles, one animal control
vehicle (which is equipped with emergency
equipment), and one scooter to mark vehicle
tires in the downtown area. The police ve-
hicles are equipped with four-channel radios
which are equipped to scan on all four chan-
nels and lock on police channel (channel one)
when dispatch keys the radio.
At this time the department consists of
Chief James E. Brockett, who started with the
department in 1955 and was appointed Chief

Most San Joaquin Valley residents who visit
the Sierras during the winter do so to have a
good time-skiing, sledding, helping the kids
build a snow man, or just frolicking. Members
of the Department's Search and RescueTeam
go once each year for a more serious reason,
but they, too, evidently enjoy the experience
to some extent, judging by the number who
volunteer year after year. The annual snow
survival seminar, begun several years ago as a
training program for the Department team
only, has grown into a major event, with
participation by many other agencies, both
tax supported and volunteer.
This year's site was the Dinkey Creek area,
north of the Wishon Road. The first day was
spent in building shelters in which the train-
ees and some instructors were required to
spend the night, preparing their meals from
emergency rations, and in every way possible
simulating a situation of actually being strand-
ed in the snow.

Photos #5 and #6-Transportation between
base camp and the training area was by sno-
mobile and the Department's rugged but
rough-riding sno-cat.
The high point of the second day's training
was in the delicate art of probing to locate an
avalanche victim. If probing operations can
be started soon enough, there is a chance for a
completely buried victim to be saved. Assum-
ing he has the presence of mind to cover his
face with his hands or arms as the snow covers
him, he may create an air pocket that will
keep him alive for up to thirty minutes.
Therefore, rescue operations have to be not
only fast, but precise. There probably won't
be time to go over the area again if the victim
is missed the first time.
Photo #7-The slope in the background really
isn't steep enough for an avalanche, but it is
adequate for training purposes. A dummy,
simulating a victim, has been buried some-
where on the hillside, and the team must find
it as quickly as possible.
Photo #8-Probers get into position, forming
a line and preparing to advance and probe in
unison, with probes close enough together
that an object the size of a human body
wouldn't be likely to be missed.
Photo #9-0ne person coordinates the ac-
tivity, giving commands to probe and ad-
vance, making sure the line is kept straight
and that no area is missed.

eye, the probers move up the slope. The ski
poles at right mark the boundary of the area
searched.

AUXILIARY SERVICES
Public Safety Division
By Reserve Lieut. T. L. Miller
In 1974 the Fresno County Sheriff's Com-
munications Squadron and the Powerboat
Squadron combined to form the Fresno
County Sheriff's Public Safety Squadron.
This new unit utilized the incorporated status
and bylaws of the previous Communications
Squadron. The new unit was governed by a
staff of elected officers and its bylaws. This
unit existed until December of 1975, when
Sgt. Gerald Lawless, then the department's
reserve coordinator, reorganized the unit to
conform with the other Fresno County Sher-
iff's reserve units. At · that time new staff
officers were appointed, and the incorpor-
ated status was dropped. This newly reorgan-
ized unit ;became the present Fresno County
Sheriff's Public Safety Division.
The major responsibility of this unit is to
supplement the Sheriff's Department in the
eastern mountain and lake regions of Fresno
County. Both boat patrol and land patrol
functions are performed by members of the
unit. Several unit members own and equip
boats for lake patrol duties. These patrol
duties are performed on Pine Flat, Shaver and
Huntington Lakes. A great deal of time and
money is invested in equipping and main-
taining these private patrol boats. Members of
this unit also work with the metropolitan
patrol units and perform many other special
duties as required by the Sheriff's Depart-
ment.
While on the water, safety is the major
concern of unit deputies. Much of the boat

patrol day is devoted to checking for proper
safety equipment on the boats using the lakes
of Fresno County. Many potentially danger-
ous problems are solved by these inspections
before they become serious. Unit members
are also trained in first aid procedures and
C.P.R., which have, on occasion, been of
great value in handling boating accidents or
other p roblems which arise in the mountain
sectors during the summer season.
As a result of recent state legislation and
departmental regulations increasing the re-
quirements for becoming and remaining a
reserve, unit membership has decreased, and
finding people who are willing to contribute
the time and money necessary to become
reserve deputies is difficult. vVe appreciate
those dedicated members who have remained
with the unit and are continuing to help the
Sheriff's Department with its many law en-
forcement functions. ''''orking for and \vith

members contribute to the Fresno commun-

they enjoy. This unit would also like to thank
our liaison officers, Lieutenant Chet Lovgren
and Deputy Tom Klose, for their assistance.
We sincerely appreciate their dedication to
this unit.
Editor's Note: We regret that due to a break-
down in communications between the editor-
ial staff and the various liaison officers, we
have no material covering the activities of the
other auxiliary organizations. Each unit con-
tinued in its tradition of unselfish service and
dedication to the Department and the com-
munity, and those efforts are sincerely ap-
preciated.

Airborne Body Recovery
In last year's Review we presented a picture
story of Detective Paul Kalpakoff swimming
out to check for evidence a stolen airplane
which had crashed into the south fork of the
Kings River above Boyden's Cave and was
lodged on a boulder in midstream. The river
was running high and swift at the time, and
Paul's operation was just a bit "tricky."
A few months ago we had one even more
tricky, in almost the same location. An auto-
mobile had gone off the road into the river,
and the body of one occupant had been
spotted lodged between rocks about halfway
across. This time the water was running even
higher, so much so that trying to swim to it,
even belayed from shore as Paul had been,
was considered too hazardous.
Arrangements were made for a helicopter,
owned by Rogers Helicopters of Clovis and
under a National Park Service
to assist. The pilot, Vernon La

Quieu, stated he could pick up a person in a
sling, carry him to a point immediately above
the body's location, lower him to water level
and hover while he attached a rope to the
body, then lift both him and the body back to
shore. Sgt. Jim Hamilton volunteered for the
somewhat unusual mission, and Deputy Tom
Walton photographed the proceedings.
The following photos show, in sequence,
the helicopter approaching the point from
where Hamilton would be picked up; the
sling being rigged; Hamilton waiting for the
initial lift-off (too bad the camera couldn't
have recorded his thoughts at that moment);
the flight through the air and the attempts to
manuever him into position; his struggles
against the current as he attached the line to
the body; the trip back to shore; final landing;
and the body being placed in a body bag.
The entire operation was completed in
about fifteen minutes. Hamilton stated that

once he reached the body, he was too busy to
think about being frightened, and that it
seemed a much shorter time.
For years we have used aircraft in attempt-
ing to locate the bodies of drowning victims,
because visibility into still water from the air is
much better than from shore. But using one to
actually remove the body from the water is
something new.
