In the foothills of each range there are hundreds of thousands of acres used principally as grazing land, with large ranches which haven't changed their hasic method of operation to any great extent since they were estahlished hdore the turn of the century. There arc also callie raising opl'rations of varying scope, along with feedlots and auction yards, on the valley floor. To remind us that our "cow country" heritage is still very much alive, Detective M ike Perry, whose job it is to investigatl' thefts of callIe and ranch equipment, has wrillen an articll' for this edition.

This goal, to which all police agencies aspire but few atta in, has been reached fn spite of the severe budgetary restrictions imposed two years ago by Proposition 13. And, no matter how much argument one hears to the contrary, that proposition did adversely affect our ability to provide an adequate level of police service. The fact we were still able to reduce the crime rate does not mean we were overstaffed or had too large a budget prjor to the restrictions taking effect. We have managed bye1imi­ nating certain services we considered worthwhile or we would never have provided them in the first place. Among the services elimina ted was the School Resources Program whereby specially trained officers regularly visited elementary schools to talk to the youngsters about law and order and to generally establish a rapport that would endure when they become adults. Also included was the Premi ses Inspection Program whereby an officer would visit a home or business on re­ quest and provide advice on security precautions; and the Drug Education Program which provided speakers to schools, church groups and civic organi­ zations requesting information on the causes, symptoms and control of drug abuse. We have not had an increase in personnel to keep pace with the population increase for several years; we have had to drastically curtail our training program; we have established rigid priorities for the types of calls and incidents we respond to or investigate; we have virtually ceased replacing obsolete and worn-out equipment, a policy we can't continue indefinitely. Some of these cuts may prove in later years to have been unwise; in the long run they may create problems which will require the expenditure of more tax dollars than are being saved by elimination of the programs. Only time will tell. In the meantime, we shall earnestly strive to keep on doing our best to protect life and property in the unincorporated community and to continue to reduce the crime rate with whatever resources are made available to us.

However, we did lose one young officer in a tragic off-duty traffic accident, and several of our retired members passed away. To their families and friends, The Review extends sincere condolences, and an assurance that the contributions to the cause of good law enforcement made by the departed were not in vain. Melvin A. Willmirth, sheriff of Fresno County from 1955 to 1975, passed away early in December of 1979. To those of us who had served under his leadership for all or most of his tenure, it seemed almost incredible that a man with such a positive personality, such unwavering convictions, and sllch a high degree of self confidence could have suc­ cumbed to a heart attack. He had always seemed able to cope with any problem that might arise; he'd never backed down or retreated in the face of criticism, second guessing, remarks questioning his integrity, or any of the other unpleasant experiences that are a constant factor in a public official's life. Sheriff Willmirth was a native of Fresno County and grew up and attended school in Coalinga. For a brief time after high school he worked for the Union Oil Company in the Coalinga area, then began his law enforce­ ment career as a member of the Coalinga Police Department. In 1942 he was appointed superintendent of the now long defunc~ Fresno County Road Camp in Los Gatos Canyon. Except for a period of U.S. Navy service in World War II, he served in that capacity until he was sworn in as sheriff in January of 1955. Then, apparently because the Board of Supervisors could not find a suitable replacement for him, he was retained in that position, in addition to his duties as Sheriff-Coroner. Sheriff Will mirth's accomplishments in the corrections and law enforcement fields are too numerous to mention in this brief com­ memoration. However, two indisputable facts demonstrate his foresightedness, his understanding of human nature, and his administrative ability and talent for leader­ ship. First, as superintendent of the road camp, his strict but fair discipline, his utilization of inmate labor in a constructive manner, and his treatment of inmates as human beings with rights and dignity, and not as hopeless criminals, resulted in the rehabilitation of many who seemed destined for a career in crime, or to the living death of skid row alcoholism. That was years before the advent of the many formal rehabilitation programs prevalent in custodial institutions today. Later, when he assumed the office of Sheriff, he took over a demoralized. faction­ ridden, tradition-bound organization, and within a few years transformed it into a modern, cohesive, and effective police agen­ cy, one that we could all say we were proud to be a part of, and of which the people of the county could be proud. To Mrs. Willmirth, son Don, and daughter J0 , we offer assurance that their grief is shared by all of us who ever called Mel Willrnirth our boss. 11 Crystal Tree CtMa ::Det Ie,!

Haley was listed among the retirees in last year's edition of The Review, with no explanation of the reason for his retirement. Last summer he died of cancer, the illness which had made his re­ tirement necessary. Bob, as he was known to his many friends, was born, and spent his childhood, in Massachusetts. Later his family moved to Michigan, where he attended Wayne Uni­ versity in Detroit. He served in the United States Navy in World War II, and sometime during the war years, he met his future wife, Amy. After the war he and Amy, by then man and wife, came to Fresno to live. In February of 1951 Bob became a member of the Fresno County Sheriff's Department. He did the usual tour of duty in the jail, was a bailiff in the court of the late Superior Court Judge Strother \\falton, and had a brief stint at patrol duty. In Septemher of 19.53 he was assigned to the ne\",ly formed Crime Preven­ tion Unit, which later came to be known simply as the Juvenile Detail. For the remain­ der of his career, except for a year or so just before retirement when he was a detective lieutenant in charge of crimes against prop­ erty investigations, he specialized in working with delinquent and potentially delinquent youngsters. Boh was one of the organizers of the Central Valley J lIvenile Officers AssociatioIl, was active in the California J llvenile Officers Association, and served as president of hotJl organizations. He was a memher of the California Youth Authority Training Institute, and several other state boards ,md commis­ sions dealing with juvenile justice prohlems. Police agencies throughout the state sought his advice in the estahlishment and operation of units specializing in juvenile work. He taught police seience at Fresno City College and at West Hills College in Coaliliga; w~s active in the Parent-Teachers Association, his church, Boy Scouts, ancl Little League hase­ ball. During his career he made literally hundreds of speeches on juvenile problems at schools, civic organization and service club meetings, and to church groups. His person­ nel file is overflowing with letters of appreci­ ation from those who heard him speak or solicited his advice. I t is too bad there is no way of determining just how many persons who are now law­ ahiding, respectahle members of society owe that status to tht' counsel provided by Lieu­ tenant I laley at a time when their lives were in danger of being ruined by an inclination toward anti-social activity. ;\;0 doubt there are many, and the knowledge of their exist­ ence is a menlOrial tribute far more fitting than any Il10l1llment of marble or hronze. 13 ~ WILLSON FARMS INCORPORATED a~a G uar ant.ee Financial Center ~~a East.

LINDA VISTA FAR ,MS RIVERDALE 16 EDITORIAL Not Just A Cliche People have been known to snicker at seeing a bumper sticker saying, "Support your local police," but, for reasons mentioned in the following paragraphs, the phrase is no joke. In the years before and immediately fol­ lowing World \-Var II, the college trained police officer was almost non-existent. A high school education, normal intelligence, and a dash of common sense were all the intellectual qualifications considered necessary. There were a lot of good cops in those days, but their success was due primarily to the fact they had such a sincere interest in law enforcement they managed to learn by experience, and were willing to work long, irregular hours for a low salary. There were many others who, while they didn't have the sincere interest to make them enjoy the work, were appreciative enough of the job security that they per­ formed at an acceptable level. Some, of course, were cops simply because they rec­ ognized it as a field where a person could make a living with a minimum of hard manual labor. And, there were then, as there are now and probably always will be, a few who entered law enforcement primarily because of a psychological quirk that made them want to exert authority over others, and thought that being a cop would give them an ideal opportunity. Law enforcement was simpler then, and such a system, while not ideal, managed to control crime as well as or better than we are doing it now. Most citizens had some respect for the law, and were willing to cooperate with an officer and obey his instructions without questioning every legal technicality involved. The officer may not have always been one hundred per cent right, but in most instances his ~ntentions were good, and the end usually justified the means. As the social and economic upheaval which followed World War II began to become more and more complex, it became obvious that law enforcement was not prepared to deal with the changing conditions. Far­ sighted police officials realized that for a field officer to cope adequately with all the new problems in dealing with people, he would need extensive training, not only in the tech­ nical and legal aspects of police science, but also in sociology, psychology, and other matters pertaining to human relations. . vVe are very fortunate in California, be­ cause about twenty years ago that need was taken care of, by legislative establishment of the Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission. That agency was charged with devising and implementing rigid training standards for all police and sheriff's depart­ ments in the state, with enforcement made possible by authority to \vithhold state aid for law enforcement from any agency which didn't comply. Arrangements were made for community and state colleges, and a few independent police academies operated by individual departments, to provide several months of formal training for the new officer before he was assigned to duty. The standards were eventually broadened to include not only the field officer, but supervisory and command personnel as well. Newly appointed sergeants are required to attend a supervisory academy, and lieutenants and captains must success­ fully complete a college level course in police management. There is also available through P.O.S.T. an executive course for those who are, or aspire to be, above the rank of captain. 17 Robert H.

Instead, it is financed by pro­ ceeds from an assessment added to fines collected and bail forfeited in lieu of fine. As entrance requirements and training standards were raised, so were salaries and fringe benefits. The overall quality of appli­ cants was thus enhanced; many who now decide to enter law enforcement do so not because of some long standing ambition or overpowering interest, or because their fath­ ers were cops, but simply because they see it as an opportunity for an interesting career, rewarding in both personal fulfillment and in a financial sense. They're the type who would be likely to succeed in almost any endeavor. The typical police officer or deputy sheriff in California today comes closer to being a true professional than does his counterpart in any other state. He has the aptitude, the ability, the training, and the desi,re to do a first class job or protecting life and property in his community. How long this enviable situation will endure is questionable. In spite of the higher salary and more liberal fringe benefits, the modern equipment, and the education and training intended to provide greater self confidence and job satisfaction, all of which should be conducive to high morale, that is not the case. Some veteran observers feel that morale among field officers in general is at an all time low. As a result, many trained, ex­ perienced, highly motivated officers are resigning to pursue careers in other fields, and many potentially fine officers are being dis­ couraged from entering law enforcement. There are several reasons for this unfortun­ ate state of affairs. One is that the officer doesn't feel he has even the support, to say nothing of the respect or gratitude, of the people he serves. A certain amount of pro­ fessed disdain for those in positions of authority is traditional in this country, and may even be a healthy attitude for society as a whole, for it keeps public officials from taking themselves and their positions too seriously. But for the past several years the attitude is a great deal stronger than mild disdain. In some areas the anti-police feeling is so prevalent generally that the officer can expect that at any time it may be expressed in terms of extreme hostility or outright vio­ lence, even by those not involved in the situation at hand. And that feeling of resent­ ment is not confined to traditional high crime areas; it exists in every type of neighborhood and class of society. Another contributor to low morale is the lack of support from the law, as interpreted by the courts. Officers soon become extreme­ ly frustrated and bitter at seeing cases dis­ missed and guHty persons go free because of some minor legal technicality that has no bearing on guilt or innocence. In addition to all the police training he has had, the field officer almost needs a law degree to make sure he conducts investigations and makes arrests in such a manner as not to give even' the appearance of infringing to the slightest degree on the rights of the accused, even if it means the rights of law abiding citizens must be ignored. Even if he had the law degree, though, it wouldn't be enough, for court decisions making it more difficult for an officer to do his job are being made so fre­ quently that even an attorney would be pressed to keep up with them. What may have been legally acceptable for two hundred years may, at the whim of some judge, suddenly become taboo. Just as frustrating is the current tendency for citizens to file civil law suits against police officers at the slightest excuse, or for no valid excuse. This often makes the officer hesitant to take obviously necessary action, lest he be named defendant in such a suit. He may be certain the contemplated action is necessary and legally justifiable, but he feels that unless he has concrete proof of that necessity, the court is likely to believe the plaintiff, and he may end up losing his life's savings and his home because of having done his job in the manner in which he has been trained. The law 19 makes the judge and the prosecuting attorney immune from civil responsibility for actions taken in their official capacities, but the field officer enjoys no such protection. Further­ more, he may have to make up his mind in seconds whether or not he should take a certain action, while judges and attorneys may deliberate for as long as they like in deciding whether the officer's action was right or wrong. Another factor in job dissatisfaction is what many officers consider a lack of support, or even unjustified implied criticism, from the news media. While it is realized that news writers must be objective and factual to avoid accusation of influencing juries or suits charging defamation of character, they feel that some writers go to such extremes in that regard that their stories are actually slanted in favor of the accused, thus raising doubts in the minds of readers regarding the integrity of the arresting officer and the objectivity of his • FIVE STAR RANCH SOUTH BUTTE AVE. FIVE POINTS investigation. Many officers also feel that the news media in general are too anxious to sensationalize and blow up out of proportion any error or improper action by a police officer, but take for granted and seldom comment on good police work. Because of all these factors, the people of California are in danger of losing the distinc­ tion· of having the best qualified and most professional police agencies in the nation. If the trend is not reversed, we may within a few years see a return to the situation wherein well-trained, capable, enthusiastic officers are in the minority, and most police positions are filled with those whose primary interest is job security. It would be a shame and a tragedy, for law enforcement and for the citizens of the State, if that should happen.

Box 9022 FRESNO 20 I CATTILE THEFTS By DETECTIVE MICHAEL D. PERRY Background The history of cattle theft protection in the western states had its beginning in the 1860's when small groups called Protective Boards were formed. It wasn't until 1919 that the State of California Bureau of Livestock Identification, Department of Food and Agriculture, was formed. At that time, there was only a handful of people to carry out the function of the Bureau whose task it was to protect the livestock industry from losses due to theft or straying. California cattle ranching is highly im­ portant to the state's economy. Ranked as the seventh largest cattle producing state in the nation, California's cattle industry has grown rapidly over the years. It now spreads from border to border and is worth many millions of dollars. Like other industries, the cattle industry has problems with the criminal community. Contrary to popular belief, the cattle thief did not disappear with the "Old West." More cattle are being stolen today than ever before. As an example, in 1971 there were 2,770 head of cattle reported lost, strayed or stolen. In 1975, the number rose to 3,251. Last year, the losses amounted to 4,809 which was an in­ crease of 32.4 percent over the previous year and represented a cash value of $1,880,360. Because of the failure of many cattle owners to report their losses, the above figures are believed to represent only about half of the actual numbers missing. Arrests for cattle theft have also risen over the past several years. In 1971, there were 45 arrested for Grand Theft Cattle. In 1975, there were 99 arrests, and by 1979 this lowered to 49 arrests. Law enforcement is faced with a modern­ day rustler who not only uses the techniques of the past to steal cattle, but also the technical aci. vances that are available, such as helicop­ ters, walkie-talkies, and refrigerated trucks. To help curb the sale of stolen cattle, the Brand Inspectors are on duty at slaughter plants, feed lots, stockyards and sale yards throughout the state. They check all brands to insure that cattle being offered for sale or transportation belong to those doing the . offering. The Thief And The Victim Most cattle theft suspects are or have been associated with the livestock industry. They are typically present or past employees in the industry-ranchhands, feed haulers, or live­ stock transporters. Once the cattle are stolen, the thief must be able to transport and sell his "take" with a minimum of risk. The markets used are usually auction yards, stockyards, slaughter plants, feed lots, or individual purchasers. The thieves may be small ranchers strug­ gling to stay in business or perhaps more affluent ranchers with enough range land to 21 Greetings From Members and Officers Of GENERAL TEAMSTEIRS UNION LOCAL NO. 431 Executive Board Members Tunney Starks, Vice President J.

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

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

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

NIGHT &DAY PHONE 486-2650 officers face this unique brand of stress, no law enforcement agency is without problems brought about by the stressful nature of the policing occupation. In the early 1970's, several large police agencies recognized the need to provide psychological services to officers and their families. It was believed that if a means to assist officers and their families were devel­ oped, it would help alleviate stress-related problems created by the job. In providing these services to all officers, it was believed that if the officers' problems could be resolved, their job performance would in­ crease, disability retirements due to stress­ related factors would decrease, and other stress-related factors would be positively affected-the final result being happier of­ ficers more capable of performing their duties, and a cost savings to the local government.

The Sheriff's Department, through the services of a Master Social Worker who was a licensed therapist, began offering free counseling for officers and their spouses. During this time, a Spouses Orienta­ tion Program was introduced to give the spouses of officers an opportunity to observe their husbands' work environment and the problems they encountered. The program included tours of the Jail and Communica­ tions Center, firearms familiarization train­ ing, department organization, and a chance to meet the Sheriff and his staff. Between 1974 and 1976, these setvices were utilized by many officers. During this time, work began to develop a complete psycho­ logical services program for the department. This program was based on several projects completed by the author between 1976 and 1978. During this time period, it was found AmlJrican 5ruct Sa/vaglJ !Jnc.

It was also found that once such a program could be fully implemented, the County could realize a cost savings of at least $500,000 over the first three years of the program, above program costs. During 1978, the Sheriff's Department be­ came the first Valley agency to establish an approved Advanced Academy for its officers. During this time, the author taught officers an instructional block dealing with basic ele­ ments of law enforcement stress, its effects, and stress-reduction methods. Because of the success of this class, a second class was given that dealt with advanced elements of law enforcement stress. Because of these classes, many officers were assisted in developing stress-reduction methods that they applied to their lifestyle. Additionally, officers, for the first time, began to speak out regarding the specific stressors (those elements of the job COMPLIMENTS BUCK RANCHES FRESNO clz.i.lut.ah.u.e TORTILLAS SINCE 1948 WHOLESALE & RETAIL CORN & FLOUR TORTILLAS & TACO SHELLS 1288-99841 FREE DELIVERY ON WHOLESALE ORDERS OUR NEW iDeA "ON 718 F sTRllT Corn.r Mono & F St •• FRESNO 29 WEEKDAYS & SUNDAY 8 A.M. 10 11 P.M.

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

Fresno, Calif. 93711 36 The Case Of The Disillusioned Prosecutor ,­ Late in 1978 Deputy District Attorney Douglas Bruce of Los Angeles County de­ cided he'd had enough of the inconsistencies and ineffectiveness of the criminal justice system. He wrote a letter to his boss, District Attorney John K. Van De Kamp, in which he graphically and explicitly explained the rea­ son for his decision to resign. Excerpts from that letter were printed on the editorial page of the Los Angeles Times, as follows: "Dear Mr. Van De Kamp: Five and one-half years ago today, I was sworn in as a deputy district attorney. Rep­ resenting the public in criminal proceedings was to be my life's work, not just a chance to acquire quick trial experience. In the 66 months that followed, I have not had a change of heart, just a loss of hope. Therefore, I am resigning as of Jan. 20. The criminal-justice system is now so far gone, so paralyzed, that radical rehabilitation will have to be imposed by the same outraged electorate that enacted Proposition 13. The decline is traced most clearly in the spirit of lawlessness prevalent in the appellate courts of California. Precedent means nothing to them. In re­ cently re-defining legal insanity (effective retroactively), a bare majority of our Su­ preme Court discarded both a centuries-old rule and its own recent opinions. The will of the Legislature means nothing to them. A clear-cut law req liring that persons who use a gun while committing a major felony be sentenced to prison has also been tossed aside. The will of the people means nothing to them. Polls, statutes and initiatives have all shown an ovenvhelming public demand for a death-penalty law. But a majority of our Supreme Court personally disagrees with that conclusion and we all know the current law will be struck down on fabricated constitu­ tional grounds, as others have been twice before. Although the Legislature has attempted a few scattered reforms, many of which were later rejected by the courts, it likewise has failed to reflect fully the public concern "vith the arbitrariness of criminal proceedings. Right now, a person convicted of first-degree murder is not required by law to spend one hour in jail, but another who steals $51 worth of olives (specified as a felony under our Penal Code) could serve three years. No legislative alternative to the exclusion­ ary rule has been adopted since the appellate courts first formulated it many years ago. Thousands of cases are dropped annually because one or more judges during the entire course of a criminal proceeding might opine that the cop on the beat did not catch the defendant in exact accordance with every detailed rule ever formulated in several hundred thousand pages of court opinions. This exclusion of evidence occurs even though the meaning and application of these rules is the subject of differing interpretations by the judges themselves. Nor is there any la,,' preventing a judge from continuing a case repeatedly and in­ definitely at the request of the defendant and to the detriment of our position and the inconvenience of the witnesses.

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

CORNER OF CHESTNUT 48 Not For Every Woman By TERI SCOTT This spring, as has happened every spring for the past several years, hundreds of young ladies about to finish high school will attend career day programs, where representatives of various professions and occupations will tell of the advantages and disadvantages of their respective lines of work. In many groups of counselors there will be a female law enforcement officer, who will paint a glowing picture of the opportunities for women in her field. She'll mention the good salary, the interesting activities, the feeling of fulfill­ ment, and may imply that the job is a contin­ ual round of glamour and excitement. She almost certainly will emphasize the theory that a woman can do any law enforcement job as well as a man. Because her description will appear to confirm what they have seen on television, many young women will immediately decide on la",,, enforcement as a career, and will begin to make preparations toward that goal Many of them will eventually be sorely disillu­ sioned. For, while there is a place for women in law enforcement, it is not a job for every woman. In the first place, the opportunities may be exaggerated. Many departments, even those who have willingly hired women, stilI have just a token number; perhaps one or two per cent of the entire force. And that situation isn't likely to show any significant improvement in the foreseeable future, unless the Supreme Court should decide that each department must employ an equal number of men and women, or at least have a much larger per­ centage of women. That isn't likely to happen. If the court sticks to the theory that men and women are to be treated equally in hiring policy, then women will always be competing against men, and most department heads prefer male officers, except for specialized duties. Their reason is valid. In spite of claims to the contrary, there are many police jobs the average woman can't do as well as the average man, simply because of the difference in physical strength. There is some validity to the theory that in many potentially violent situations, the female officer may be able to accomplish more with tact and diplomacy than can a male by more forceful methods. There is also some truth in the claim that many potentially violent men will calm down and be gentlemen when a female officer appears. But there's no guarantee that either of those things will happen, and suppose they don't. The female officer may then find herself in an extremely hazardous situation, and may be seriously injured, ""hen, in the same situation, a man would have been able to effect an arrest without injury to himself or the person arrest­ ed. The standard answer to that argument is that many men wouldn't be able to handle such a situation. That's true, but such men don't belong in law enforcement, either. In spite of the accusations that weight and height requirements discriminated against certain 49 minorities, there was a good reason for them, and there have been enough unfortunate incidents since the courts outlavved such re­ quirements, involving male officers who simply weren't big and strong enough to cope with the demands of police work, to prove their validity. But suppose a woman does manage to land a job with a police or sheriff's department'? What happens next? First, no matter how much college training she has had in police related subjects, unless it included a formal police academy, she will have to attend such an academy. That means for three or four months she will undergo a concentrated pro­ gram including classroom lectures on law, the criminal justice system, patrol procedures, investigative techniques, human relations, and various other matters which are all a part of police work. There'll be field problems, instruction and practice in the use of firearms and other weapons, how to subdue an , PipeD Inc. Growers -Packers -Sh ippers 5414 E.

Some departments operate their academies on a so­ called stress system, wherein the instructors deliberately keep the students under extreme and constant pressure. It is said that this is designed to separate the men from the boys, and it can certainly separate the women from the girls, or from the men. Periodically throughout the course there are written examinations, and a comprehensive final test at the end. The questions and problems aren't easy, and if one ends up with just a barely passing grade, he or she isn't considered to have much of a future in law enforcement. Vlhen a woman successfully completes the academy, and reports to her department for assignment, she won't immediately begin to emulate Angie Dickinson in Police Story. Her initial assignment will depend upon the size of the department, where the vacancies lie, and the philosophy of the chief or sheriff. If the Western.

This is not to say that such tr atment is prevalent, or even common, but no doubt it does happen. The next problem the n w female officer will have to face is acceptance-by her immediate superiors, her fellow officers, and the public. Like the department head, the watch commander or field serg ant will follow one of three courses of action. H . will be overly protective and very selective in the type of cases he assigns to her, which, even if she is capable of handling general police duty as well as a man, certainly won't give her a chance to prove it. Or, he, too, may be in­ clined to make things a bit rough for her to see if she can take it. There is a possibility, but not a very good one, that her immediate superiors will adopt a completely objective attitude, and treat her the same as they would a male rookie. Acceptance by male fellow officers will be quite varied, with none of the varieties being a warm welcome. Some men will feel threat­ ened by her presence, for the male macho image isn't particularly enhanced by a woman doing the same job. Some will be friendly but patronizing; others rude and resentful. Some, while fair minded enough to concede that she has a right to prove herself, will worry about possible increased hazards for themselves if they should get into a situation where help is desperately needed, and a female officer i sent to assist. Still others may find themselves neglecting their own beats and investigations to voluntarily watch over her. And, of course, some will regard her as a potential romantic conquest, assuming that any woman anxiou to work so closely with a group of men must be more interested in the men than in the job. Public acceptance can range all the way from an enthusiastic welcome to failure to take the female officer seriously to outright resentment. Among some citizens \vith whom the female officer has official contact, she may be hailed as a heroine. A macho type 52 male may be glad of an opportunity to discuss a police problem with a woman in a trim uni­ form, but he may not really expect that she will know what to do with the information he gives her. And some citizens who still think the woman's place is in the home, or no far­ ther out of it than the store or the office may be openly hostile toward a female officer sent to listen to their problems, and may even refuse to talk to her. No matter what her assignment, one of the first things the new officer, male or female, will notice about the job is its lack of excite­ ment of the type portrayed in movie and television police stories. A patrol officer may work for days and do nothing more exciting than arbitrate a husband-wife argument or a quarrel between neighbors over some trivial matter. A detective spends much more time in routine leg work, tracking down witnesses, perusing criminal history records, building a case by piecing together bits of seemingly insignificant evidence, than in high speed chases, interviewing glamorous witnesses, or finding the one major, exotic clue that no one else had even thought of looking for, thus proving his or her genius. In spite of the shortage of glamour and excitement, however, there is a constant threat of physical danger, particularly for the patrol officer. While the potentially hazard­ ous and deadly situations don't become realities often, they're always present. A patrol officer can never be sure he won't be shot by a motorist he has stopped for a minor traffic violation. Bar fights and family quar­ rels are potentially more dangerous, usually, than searching for and arresting a murderer or rapist. The jail officer never dares turn his back on a prisoner, for no matter how strict the security measures in any custodial insti­ tution, inmates always can find means to obtain or manufacture deadly weapons. Detectives are constantly threatened by those they help convict and send to prison, and one never knows when one of those doing the threatening really means it.

While it is not true that decent people nev r need police assistance, it is true that thc majority of the time an officer is dealing with those on the lower end of the socio-economic scale, and those with low or non-existent moral standards. That can become quite depressing after a while, and it becomes more and more difficult to remember that most citizens are law-abiding and decent. Not the least of the disadvantages of police work is the constant frustration; seeing crimi­ nals whose guilt is beyond doubt set free on some legal technicality; those previously convicted and seemingly on th straight and narrow path suddenly rehIming to a life of crime; so many crim s being committed that it is impossible to investigate them properly. All in an, police work is a rough occupation, and is more hazardous to the personality than to the body. It is devastating to men; even the most sensitive and intelligent man may, if he isn't careful, find himself becoming cynical and hard, in some cases almost seeming to adopt the attitudes and values of his clientele. It can be even more damaging to the personality of a woman, particularly if she still values the traditional feminine traits of ten­ derness, grace, and modesty. She may find THE ASTRO MOTEL • Beautiful Cocktail Lounge • All Weather Air Conditioning • Commercials Welcome • Three Acres Truck Parking 99 North -Off on Clinton Ramp 99 South -Off on Valentine & Dakota An Easy Route To An Easy Rest herself using language which before becom­ ing a cop she'd have considered shocking; she may unconsciously adopt habits and attitudes to make herself more like the male officers , ith whom she works, and thus more accept­ able to them. This is not to say that a woman can't follow a career ii.1 law enforcement, and still main­ tain her sensitivity, her femininity, and her status as a lady. Many female officers manage quite well. But those qualities are placed in dire jeopardy by the very nature of police work, and any "voman planning such a career should give that factor some serious thought. Many well qualified women have tried law enforcement and been able to cope with the requirements of the job itself, but have de­ cided the advantages weren't worth the po­ tential damage to the personality, and have given it up to return to less glamorous, and in most cases less lucrative, fields of endeavor. They weren't quitters; they were merely using common sense, and doing what they con­ sidered best for them. But they wasted a lot of time and eHort preparing for and finding out that law enforcement wasn't their cup of tea; time and eHort that could have been saved had someone taken the troll ble beforehand to inform them of the potential disadvantages of law enforcement as well as of the advantages. 268-2272 3611 E.

Some Facts That Will Contribute To Your Peace Of Mind There has been a great deal of news media coverage in recent months concerning the number of murders committed in the Fresno area. The crime of rape has, over the past several years, received even more media at­ tention, with much speculation as to whether there has been a drastic increase in such crimes, or that more of them are now being reported. Because the news stories are based on indisputable statistics, one could conclude that the average citizen puts his or her per­ sonal safety in jeopardy each time he or she leaves home, and that safety can't be counted on even inside the home. But the criteria by which the degree of danger must be judged are not the number of persons murdered or raped, but who the victims were, and why they became victims of violent crimes. In other words, how many murder and/or rape victims were innocent citizens going about their daily affairs and minding their own business, and how many actually contributed to their becoming vic­ tims by their own actions and associations, or carelessly and needlessly putting themselves in a position where their chances of being murdered or raped were greatly enhanced. In an attempt to ans\:ver that question, we an­ alyzed the murder and rape cases investigated by the Fresno County Sheriff's Department in 1979. The circumstances leading to the twenty­ six murder cases were as follows. A. A young man, intoxicated from sniffing glue or paint, which he did habitually, was killed in a fight with his brother, who was trying to take him home from a bar. B. A teen-age girl riding in the back of a pickup truck \vas thrown out and killed when the driver, a young man she knew well, de­ liberately tried to turn the truck over to vent his anger and frustration resulting from a fight he'd had with another young man earlier in the evening. C. A young farm laborer was killed by acquaintances with whom he had spent the evening drinking, and with whom he had previously had some trouble. D. The body of a narcotics dealer from Stanislaus County was found in the San Joa­ quin River. Subsequent investigation re­ vealed that a few days before his disappear­ ance he'd mentioned to his wife that on several occasions he'd noticed a certain auto­ mobile following him. This led detectives to believe that the killer was probably a rival drug dealer, a robber \vho knew that because of his extensive drug operations he was likely to be carrying a large amount of money, or a customer who felt he had been cheated. E. The body of a prostitute was found in a fig orchard. She was known to have frequent­ ed low-class bars and to associate with men of questionable character. F. A young man was fatally stabbed by another young man with whom he'd quar­ reled over the attentions of a young woman. C. A young man walking by an outdoor beer party exchanged obscenities with some of the people at the party. They followed him out into the country, and shot him as he left his car and tried to run away. H. A farm laborer killed another in a quar­ rel over a card game at a labor camp. 67 .,.••RE~~;!~~NG S:IGN CO. :INC. 120 DIVISADERO tf DON McKENZIE P.O.

A young woman was shot by the man she'd been living with because she had gone out with other men. M. A farm laborer agreed to purchase beer for a group of juveniles. Enroute to the store they somehow learned he was carrying a great deal of money, and decided to rob him. In the process they fatally stabbed him. KIPER LUMBER &HARDWARE SQUAW VALLEY, CALIF.

Q. An elderly man living alone in a foothill community was robbed and murdered by a recently paroled convict who forced his way into the victim's house. R.

SHAW • FRESNO It is apparent that in very few of these cases did the victims not contribute in some way to the tragedy, either by deliberate actions or by carelessness. In case B, the young woman thrown from the pickup truck was not the object of the driver's anger, and she certainly had no reason to believ he would resort to such a drastic action to relieve his emotional stress. Actually, her death could be classed as an accident, because there was no intent on the driver's part to harm her personally. However, be­ cause his action was deliberate, it was tech­ nically a murder. In case Q, there apparently was nothing the old man living alone could have done to pre­ vent what happened to him. The murderer was accompanied by another young man, and they would have been able to force their way into his residence, regardless of any security precautions he might have used, and to over­ come any resistance. If there .is anyone to COMPLIMENTS OF Eagle Cafe Good Food 24 Hours A Day! 237-5081 575 DIVISADERO FRESNO 70 blame other than the killer himself, it is the parole officials for releasing him from prison. The young girl in case Y was also entirely innocent of any contributory negligence. However, it is obvious that her mother was an extremely poor judge of character, or she wouldn't have married the man and thus placed her daughter in a situation where it could happen. On the surface, it would appear that the victim in case H, the elderly man killed while driving alone in a rough neighborhood late at night, was not negligent in any way. He apparently was driving along a public thor­ oughfare minding his own business when he was accosted. But even in his case, the errand on which he had left home certainly didn't justify the risk of driving around late at night, even if all one had to worry about was being hit by a drunk driver enroute home from a bar.

That arn e trait is what gets most rape victims into situations where that crime is likely to happen, as in­ dicated by analysis of the 47 rape cases inves­ tigated by the Detective Division last year. Because the list is so long, and fraught with repetition, we won't list each one separately as we did for murder cases. Instead, they are broken down into categories, as follows. Category 1-Victim raped by a stranger she met and drank with in a bar, at a dance, or similar public place, and whom she willingly accompanied to some other location. Number of cases: 10. Category II-Victim raped by a stranger from vvhorn she willingly accepted a ride while walking or hitchhiking. ~umber of cases: 11.

Fowler Ave., Fresno 486-4141 The circumstances of the four cases in category VII were as follows: 1. A clerk in an all-night convenience store in a somewhat isolated suburban area was forced into a back room and attacked by a man whose original intent had probably included robbery only, but who changed his mind when he realized she was alone. 2. An elderly woman living alone was at­ tacked by a young man who came to her door, claimed he was having trouble with his motor­ cycle, and asked if he could use her phone. When she suggested he go to a neighbor's, he broke into her house and raped her. 3. A young v,roman "vas raped by three men who forced her car off the road and dragged her out through the unlocked passenger side door. 4. A housewife at home alone in the daytime was attacked by an intruder who entered through an unlocked door. . Given the circumstances that prevailed at the time of the attack, there was little any of these victims could have done to protect themselves. However, cases 3 and 4 might not have happened had the car door and the doors to the residence been locked. As for case number 1, the risk of an attack of this nature is one of the things a woman must consider before she takes a job that requires her to work in such a vulnerable situation. And even the elderly woman might have been saved from attack had she had an arrangement with WAYNE'S LIQUORS LIQUOR -WINES -BEER Mr. & Mrs. l. l.

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

It's too bad we must keep our doors locked even when we're home in the daytime; that \ve can't drive or walk through certain neigh­ horhoods at night, or perhaps not even in the daytime; that \ve can't accept a ride from a stranger, or pick up a hitchhiker no matter how pitiful he or she may look; that we can't let strangers into our homes to use the telephone or for any other apparently valid reason, regardless of the seeming sincerity of their stories; that we may not be ahle to com­ pletely trust some persons we've been friendly with for years. But these are incon­ veniences we can live with. Living with them is better than dying, or living a lifetime of regret, because we ignored them. II Retail Clerks Union Local 1288 442-1288 265 N.

DAKOTA AVE. 441-8191 Justice Is Blind (and sometimes stupid) The figure representing justice is tradi­ tionally shO\vn with the eyes covered, to emphasize that, in exercising judgment, she considers only the relevant facts, and is not confused, distracted, or influenced by the personal appearance or identity of the per­ sons involved. But we sometimes wonder if eyesight is the only sense not being used. The thought has often occurred to us that someone should establish an annual award for the most asinine court decision of the year, similar to the "Colden Fleece Award" given by Senator Proxmire for the most blatant waste of tax funds. The temptation is strong to suggest that it be called the "Birdbrain Award," but that could be construed as a personal attack on our esteemed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of California. So we'd have to settle for a more mundane title, perhaps simply the "1:\ justice Award," the "Judicial Boo-Boo of the Year," or "The Lopsided Cavel." Whatever the name, a strong contender for such an award for 1979 would certainly be the ruling that parents have no right to permit the police to search the room of a minor child living at home, and presumably under their care, custody, and control.

Pallon Office 486-5222 272 Palm -Fresno, Calif. 93701 The facts of the case, as reported by the news media: are as follows. The mother of a seventeen-year-old boy found in his room a considerable quantity of marijuana, and evi­ dence that he was not only a user, but also a dealer. She notified the police and requested an investigation. When the officers arrived at the home the boy was outside working on his motorcycle. The officers entered the house at the invitation of the parents, and, \vith the father's express permission, searched the boy's room. 'With evidence thus obtained, he was arrested and charged, and later was con­ victed in juvenile court. He filed an appeal on the grounds that because he himself had not givcn permission for the search, it had been an invasion of his privacy and a violation of his rights; that therefore the search and seizure had been illegal, and the evidence thus ob­ tained could not be used against him. The conviction was upheld by the Appellate Court, but when the appeal was heard by the California Supreme Court, that august body agreed with the youngster's contention and ordered the conviction reversed. The irony in the situation is that in addition to stretching the provisions of the Fourth Amendment to absurd lengths, the Court is B & H MARKET Groceries -Meats -Vegetables Beer -Wine 834-5510 11024 So.

The theory of that law is that the purpose of juvenile justice proceedings is not to punL h, but to educate; that whatever sentence, or treatment, is imposed is intend d to prevent the youngster from becoming a criminal rather than punish­ ing him for already being one. The underlying premise is that even though a minor may have committed a serious crime, at such a tend r age he is likely to be more receptive to guidance that would an adult, and that such treatment will be more conducive to rehabili­ tation than would punishment per se. Only in recent years have the courts insisted on in­ terpreting laws pertaining to juveniles by the same standards as those used for adults. Whatever course of action appeared to be in the best interests of the offending juvenile was acceptable. The idea is graphically illustrated by the difference in wording hetween a juvenile court petition and a criminal com- Compliments of NIPAK INC. 3902 E. Calwa Fresno 224-3391 714 W.

The petition is headed, "The People of California on behalf of ," while the complaint begins, "The People of California against " In this particular case, it obviously was not in the best interes ts of the youngster's future to set him free on sllch a technicality, when there \vas no question regarding his guilt. Had the conviction been allowed to stand, and the youngster thus been given the benefit of pro­ fessional counseling and guidance, along with a positive reminder that his parents still have authority over him, he might have grown up into a Im,v ahiding citizen. \"'e're not saying that he still won't, but if he does, it will be in spitc of the intervention of the criminal justice system, and not because of it, All he really learned was that parental authority is not respected hy the court, and that no matter what a person does, there is likely to be some technicality of law that will permit .him to escape responsibility, BOB FLORES THE CHECKMATES COCKTAIL LOUNGE Lunches 11 'Iii 2, Mon.

Elm Avenue Fresno 116 History of the Selima Rese rve Unit By Caroline Butcher In 1974 the need for a reserve deputy sheriff unit in the Selma area became readily ap­ parent. Reserve coordinator Sgt. C. Lawless contacted "VVoody" Andrade (Selma) and Jake Tiger (Selma) from the Metropolitan reserve unit, and with their help began the procedure of starting a new reserve unit. Vernon Alt, then a newspaper editor and a Fowler Police Department reserve officer, and Clark Huddspeth, a retired deputy con­ stable from the Fowler area, got in on the groundwork. Ads in the local newspapers turned up several responses, and the Selma unit started with about eight men. Qualifications at that time were that the applicant be over 21 years of age, have no criminal record, and have a strong and real desire to do the work. (P.C. 832, Firearms and Arrest Procedures, did not have an effect until a later time.) Reserve officers worked with the regular deputies to supplement the patrol force and also worked at the steadily increas­ ing numbers of special details for local schools and for the private sector. The number of officers in the unit has fluc­ tuated over the years from a low of five to a high of 25. Presently there are 15 officers in the unit, and several applications are pending. In the six years since the formation of the unit, 15 officers have gone into full time law en­ rnrr'&>rnent. Qualifications have changed a bit. In ad­ to the original three, P.c. 832 is now a and completion of a P.O.S.T. Reserve PARADISE CLUB 1038 F STREET PHONE 442-9824 Academy (200 classroom hours of training in laws and procedures) and 200 hours of super­ vised patrol are needed to qualify for the title of Level I Reserve. Training is done on a monthly basis, and all records are kept ac­ cording to P.O.S.T. standards. Background checks are done like those of a regular deputy. Desire still plays a big role for the reserve deputy. Issued only a badge and an J.D. card, the reserve in turn furnishes a complete uni­ form, leathers, a weapon, a baton, and a minimum of 200 hours per year. In 1979 the Selma unit worked 2,800 hours of volunteer patrol time, a dollar savings to the taxpayers of $30,800. Beyond augmenting the patrol force, the reserve program serves a multiple purpose. An officer may find that this is truly the type of work he or she wants to make a career of, and will further his or her schooling accord­ ingly. For those persons already committed to another line of full time employment, being a reserve is a way of doing community service. It has been said that the reserve program is for "big kids wanting to play cop." We can assure you that we are not playing at anything. When we are on duty we are bound by the same policies and code of ethics as a regular deputy. We take the position after a great deal of consideration-our own and the Depart­ ment's-and we invest a great deal of "free" time to better ourselves. Even off duty, the pride of being a Sheriff's Reserve Officer colors our actions. We serve-and are proud to do so. MATTOS BROS. DAIRY MANUEL & TONY MATTOS 266-7627 6201 S. BRAWLEY AVE.

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

Several months prior to publication time every year we write to all the chiefs of police, inviting them to submit photographs of their personnel, and articles outlining the progress of their respec­ tive departments, special activities or pro­ grams, significant problems, or any other matter concerning their departments of com­ munities. Almost always the chief appears to be enthusiastic about the idea, and promises to see that appropriate material is submitted. However, among all the other more pressing problems connected with running a police department, preparing an article for The Sheriff's Review is naturally and justifiably low on the priority list. For this year's edition we came up with a plan that we felt would provide each depart­ ment with adequate coverage, relieve the department of the burden of preparing the material, and give some of the young people in our county a better understanding of and an insight into the workings and problems of law enforcement. That was to arrange for each department's material to be prepared by the journalism or creative writing class of the community's high school. Our first step toward implementation of the plan was to solicit the opinion and approval of each chief of police. That was done last October, so that the students participating would hav~ plenty of time to work on the project. Of the fourteen chiefs, four expressed hearty approval and pledged their coopera­ tion in making the necessary information available to the students. The plan was then presented to the journalism and/ or creative writing teacher in the four appropriate high schools. Of the four, two, Irene Patrick of Kerman and P. Wyckoff of Fowler, felt the idea had sufficient merit to give it a try. In both instances the students did a creditable job. A few departments submitted articles pre­ pared by their own personnel, and some apparently just didn't have time to compile the material and prepare it for submission. We can certainly understand that in view of to­ day's budgetary restrictions, but we regret the omissions. Both Ms. Patrick and Ms. vVyckoff stated they feel participation in the aforementioned project was a worthwhile effort for their students, for it not only gave them experience in gathering information and preparing it for publication, but also enhanced the rapport between them and the police officers in their communities. We hope to try the idea again next year, and we hope more police depart­ ments and schools will participate. SAM ALEXANDER REFRIGERATION 1939 So.

James Martin has served three and a half years as Fowler's chief of police. Martin heads a department which currently employs seven full time officers. Five officers are paid by the city, and two work under the GE.T.A. pro­ gram. Due to lack of funding, Fowlerhas two live­ in dispatchers, which are a rarity among departments in California. The Fowler Police Department is located in a building that also contains the fire depart­ ment and the city hall. The modest building no longer suits the needs of the various city departments of this gradually growing area. In the coming year, the police department, along with the city hall, will be rebuilt in a new location. The new city hall/police department will be located on the corner of Fifth and Main streets, across the alley from the old building. The police quarters will contain more modern equipment. They will have a waiting room, a large secretarial room, the chief's office, a squad room, an interview room, an evidence room, and storage and restroom facilities. The new building will be four times larger than the old one. This will make the police quarters more comfortable. Fowler still manages to keep summer time programs in the budget. Manpower and Migrant \,Vork Studies are two programs \vhich enable younger men and women of the community to receive job training through the city. 126 Fowler Police Department SMALL BUT EFFECTIIVE By The Journalism Class • Fowler High School Left to right: Seated, Vernon Gonsalves, Assistant Chief, James Martin, Chief; Standing, Don Dyer, Guy Ray, Jacinto Gonzales.

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

Guidry, Poundmaster. \Vhen you sit and write about a town called Huron, you can only sit back and think of one thing-Huron, a world of its own. Huron has no alternative but to stay always in the background, being ridiculed. This has been true since 1951, when it \vas first incor­ porated. It has been a migrant town, supply­ ing the needs of migrant workers, ever since it began, and because of the large influx every year of undocumented workers, or aliens, it has been given nicknames like "Little Ti­ juana" and "Tortilla Flats." During the past year, this to\vn was ridiculed because of poor housing. 128 Granted, Huron does have its bad points, but what town can say that it is perfect? Huron does have good points about its past, present and future. You do not often hear the good things about this town, because those things do not sell to the public-they are not "newsworthy." I believe the news media are so wrapped up in gathering bad news that they do not stop and hear about good news. Huron has changed in the past five years from a bad to a nice place to live. There has been a tremendous change in the police department which, I believe, has accounted for the transition from bad to good. Five years ago, an offi er driving around town would get only an occasional wave of the hand from the citizens, and it \vas unheard of for an officer to live within the city limits. Today, all the officers live within the city limits, and almost everyone in town 'Naves at the officers. The big difference nowadays is that the citizens wave with all five fingers. Chief Primo T. Orosco started five years ago and has worked to refine the police depart­ ment to make it "vhat it is today. Chief Orosco came to Huron with the intention of creating a new image for the police department and its officers, with the emphasis being placed on public relations. Officers got involved with the community, CHRISTENSEN'S TURKEY HATCHERY 2174 N. Maple Ave. 251-0354 SAVINO'S MARKET TONY SAVINO 299-4653 4690 E.

This soon dropped to an average of one every four months. Professionalism within the police depart­ ment was also changed. Levi pants, un shined leather, and a generally drab appearance changed to a full dress uniform. The professional mannerism of the Huron Police Department, coupled with its profes­ sional uniform, has changed the community greatly, I feel that if a community feels good about its police department, its citizens will feel good about themselves and ,vill change for the better.

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

Vial of Life Along with the many other programs insti­ tuted last year, there is also one called the Vial of Life. This program helps speed medical procedure to any person who has a specific health problem. Medical information about the members of a household is placed in a vial which is affixed to the interior of the refriger­ ator. A sticker is placed on the door of the re­ frigerator to notify the police and paramedics that the vial is inside. Community Youth Center In December of 1979 a Community Youth Center was set up on Madera A venue. The Reverend N uel Brown was instrumental in getting this program off the ground. The center is run by volunteers and off-duty officers. The center offers such recreation as pinhall, pool, ping pong, and various other games. The center is used as a drop-in spot for the youth. Free movies are also shown from time to time. THE AUTHORS Back row: Jeff Seay, Mike Bledsoe, Dimitrios Spath is. Middle row : Eleni Spathis, Delores Bartlett, Becky Moore, and Margie Sanchez.

Rodriguez, Officer E. Brown, Officer C. M::trke:, Dispatcher T. Her­ nandez. The past twelve months have definitely been ones of change for the Kingsburg Police Department. The Chief, Myron Galchutt, has worked constantly to upgrade the depart­ ment to true professional status. Like most small police departments, Kingsburg has lost several employees to better paying agencies. One sergeant, five police officers, and a dis­ patcher have found employment elsewhere. The Chief instituted strict selection pro­ ures for all open positions, and the depart­ t has been fortunate in finding highly qualified applicants who share his goal of building an excellent department. Most of the new employees came to Kingsburg with ex­ tensive lav.T enforcement backgrounds, and all are proving to be good selections. In addition, the members of the department have voiced strong support for the Chief, and look to the future with optimism. Several new programs have been started, with more in the planning stages. Among these was the appointment of a local minister as a Level III reserve officer, to serve as a 136 department chaplain. His role w ill be primar­ ily that of follow-up counseling, particularly with teenage you ths and family crisis prob­ lems. He will also be available for counseling of police officers and their families, to assist them in coping with stress related to the job. One of the more innovative changes was the uniform for the Patrol D ivisi D. The Chief approved adoption of the black turtleneck dickey to replace the necktie worn with the long sleeved shirt. Many agencies hav al­ lowed the use of the dickey for motorcycle officers, but this is one of the first times it has been authorized for use by the entire Patrol Force. Most officers will agree that the tie is . SHAW-VILLA LIQUORS Beer -Wine ­Liquors KEGS 285 W.

Plans for a K-Mart Shopping Center, along with a Burger King restaurant, were submitted to th e city planning department for approval. The large multi-unit shopping center would be along Freeway 99 at Floral A venue. The increased growth of the city is placing a great demand on police services. In order to keep up with the demand for services, a growth in the police department will be necessary. July 4 through July 6, 1980 marks Selma's 100th Birthday. There will be many events to celebrate Selma's Centennial throughout the year. July Fourth will see the opening of Selma Historical Pioneer Village, which is located along Freeway 99 near Highland Avenue. Pioneer Village will contain many artifacts collected from around the com­ munity from yesteryear. It will be open to the public. CARUTHERS DRY GOODS 2337 W. Tahoe, Caruthers.

Del Puppo drama, which ended in the arrest of the suspect and recovery of $1,631.00. At 1434 hours, officers were dispatched to a hold-up alarm at Crocker National Bank. Alarm activations at businesses and banks during working hours are not unusual. Nearly always they are malfunctions or accidental activations. This time it was neither. At 1448 hours, officers at the scene advised police headquarters by radio that there had been a robbery. A bank teller informed offkers she had recognized the suspect known to her as Arnold Aguilar. A broadcast was made on the suspect, who was known to all officers on duty. At 1450 hours, a Selma businessman in­ formed police he had just seen someone being detained at Lee and Tulare streets. Officers arrived and identified Arnold Aguilar as the suspect who was being detained by Hugh Cox, Crocker Bank manager, and a citizen, David Langdon, who gave chase after he saw suspect's actions in the bank. Mr. Cox turned over to officers a pellet gun taken from suspect Aguilar. Langdon told police he was standing in line in the bank and observed Poe's Automotive 155 E.

Langdon noticed Aguilar had one hand in his leather coat pocket. The teller was pulling money out of the cash drawer and placing it on the counter. Aguilar was grabbing the money and stuffing it into his pockets. He then walked to the bank's rear door and exited. Langdon had his suspicions and asked the tell er if she had been robbed. When the teller said yes, Langdon ran out the front door, then around the corner, where he observed Aguilar running down the alleyway. Langdon gave chase with Cox close behind. As suspect was running he was throwing money into the air, much of which was recovered by Rick Jacob­ sen, a Selman who had joined the chase. After a five-block chase, Langdon and Cox caught suspect Aguilar, with th e police close behind. Police recovered a portion of the stolen money on Aguilar, and $240.00 was turned over to police by other citizens at the scene. Arnold Aguilar, age 26, was booked at the Selma City Jail, then turned over to FBI agents, who booked him into Fresno County Jail. Aguilar stated to one officer, "I won't get much federal time out of this; my pellet gun \vas not loaded." (Note: On February 13, 1980, Aguilar was sentenced to ten years for bank robbery.)

Anna Lee Cooper of Tollhouse heard the family dogs barking outside, and a fe\\' min­ utes later there was a knock at the front door. At first she ignored it, hoping whoever it was \vould go away. Her husband worked the night shift, and she was home alone with her two children, Sharon and Sherman, twelve and eight years old. The unknown caller persisted, however, so she started from the bedroom into the living room, calling out, "vVho is it?" As she entered the living room she noted that a window had been broken out, and a rifle or shotgun barrel was pointing through it into the room. Someone was trying to force the front door open. She ran to the door and tried to hold it closed, at the same time telling Sharon, who had followed her into the room, to go get a gun from under her bed. The girl did so, and returned with an old shotgun which was not loaded. Mrs. Cooper took the gun and held it over her head as if to use it as a club, but wisely decided not to do so as the door gave way and two men entered, one of them armed. At gunpoint the intruders took the empty shotgun, about twenty-four dollars, and the keys to the family Volkswagen station \\lagon. The younger of the two suggested taking Sharon with them, but the older ruled against it. The younger man took the car keys and went outside, and returned a moment later saying he couldn't get the car started. By that time Sherman had awakened and come into the room. All three victims were escorted outside, and ~'I rs. Cooper \vas directed to start the car. She did so, and she and the children \"ere then permitted to return to the house, and the suspects started to leave. The engine died, and one of them returned to the house and took Mrs. Cooper back outside to start it again, and as soon as she had done so, allowed her to return to the house alone. rvIrs. Cooper took the children and ran out the back door and hid in some bushes. The car's engine died again before the suspects left the premises, and one of them returned to the house. When this happened they ran to a neighbor's house for help, and the suspects, unable to find them, managed to start the vehicle themselves and drove away. Thanks to Mrs. Cooper's calm acceptance of a situation she couldn't change, neither she nor her children suffered any physical harm. The only tangible loss was the money, the shotgun, and the automobile. The crime, hein­ ous as it was, was not as terrible as it might have been, a possibility which became more obvious as the investigation proceeded. About eight o'clock that morning the Volks­ wagen was found abandoned on Sample Road a mile or so east of Tollhouse Road. The suspects had apparently run off the road, got stuck, and, unable to extricate the vehicle, left the area on foot. Investigating patrol officers called for a criminologist to process the vehicle for evidence before it was moved. It was dusted for latent fingerprints, and photo­ graphs and precise measurements were made of footprints obviously left by the persons last driving and riding in the vehicle. The only item left behind by the suspects was a shot­ gun shell, 12 gauge, with a paper casing, indicating it had been manufactured several years ago, before munitions firms switched to plastic for shotgun shell cases. About midmorning on October 19, the thought occurred to Jim Davies, the proprie­ 147 Compliments Of MICHAEL GIFFEN RANCH INC. all)J 36906 WEST SHAW AVENUE FIREBAUGH, CALIFORNIA TRI PRODUC 'E CO.

He found thc front door of the modest house locked, and when no one answered his knock, he went around to the back door, and found it open. He entered the house and found his friend sitting on the floor adjacent to a large wooden block, \:vhich had been used as a chair, his chin on his chest, obviously de­ ceased. Because of the natural appearance of the situation, Davies assumed he had suc­ cumbed to a heart attack, or other natural cause, so he disturbed nothing, and returned to the store to telephone the coroner. Deputy Coroner William Flaherty arrived at the Adams residence about 12:30 P.M., and began his routine investigation to confirm the victim's identity and determine the cause of death. The latter question was answered quickly; in the neck there was a gaping wound apparently made by a shotgun, which Davies hadn't noticed because it had been concealed by the shirt collar. Flaherty radioed Sheriff's Department headquarters and reported an apparent homicide, and Detective Tom Lean and I were assigned to investigate. PANOCHE CHEMICAL & SUPPLV CO. 40109 W.

In the dirt outside the back door we found several foot­ prints made by a shoe with some type of ripple design on the sole. Mr. Adams' wallet was found on the floor in the front room, empty, and in a position to indicate it had been gone through and thrown aside. In the yard and in the driveway were several 12 gauge shotgun shells, with paper cases. Noth­ ing else was found that would help to identify the person or persons responsible for the killing. The empty wallet clearly pointed to robbery as the motive. There were no signs of the victim having offered any resistance, so he'd probably been killed to keep him from identifying the persons who had robbed him. Did that mean it was someone he knew? Or, could it have been a stranger Adams couldn't have identified, and who had killed for no apparent reason other than a mind devoid of all human feeling and reason?

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

And, of course, Mrs. Cooper and her chil­ dren had been able to describe clearly the physical appearance of the two men who had robbed them. Kelly had been busy for two days checking reports of two suspicious men seen in the area the evening of the 15th. The description given by all who had seen and called about them matched that furnished by the Coopers. On the chance the robbers might have thrown from the car something that would be of value in identifying them, we decided the roadside hetween the Adams residence and the point where the car had been abandoned should be checked on foot. A group of con­ cerned residents of the Tollhouse community volunteered to assist in this venture, and we \,."ere thus able to search thoroughly every square foot of the roadside along the twelve mile route. ;\lothing of any value was found.

A check of Gary Stankewitz's criminal his­ tory file indicated he had been sentenced to prison some time before. We contacted the State Parole Office, and learned he had been released on October 13, and had checked in with the local parole office on October 19. That would explain the Sullivan heel print found at the Cooper residence. A photo was obtained, and a photo line-up prepared by placing the suspect's photo at random among photos of several other persons of similar appearance. \Vhen the line-up was shown to Mrs . Cooper, she unhesitatingly picked the picture of Gary Stankewitz as the older of the two men who had robbed her.

On the evening of November 17 Gary Stankewitz was located at the home of rela­ tives in Fresno, and was taken into custody without incident.

As they were walking, Gary told Theodore they should try to get a ride to Fresno, and they tried to flag down several vehicles. 'When they reached the vicinity of the Adams house they decided to contact the occupant to see if they could get a ride. Theodore, on Gary's instructions, went to the front door and knocked, while Gary went to the back door. The occupant didn't open the door when Theodore knocked, but yelled for him to leave. He continued knock­ ing, but there was no response. After a few minutes had passed, he decided to go to the back of the house to see what Gary was doing. He found the back door open and Gary inside. \IVhen he started to enter Gary told him to pull his shirt up over his head, apparently so he couldn't be identified later.

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

Even with that assurance, because of the strict and specific provision of hnv re­ garding prosecution testimony by a co-con­ spirator, we still didn't have much of a case against Gary for the murder of Adams. The law requires that to carr borate such tc~ti­ mony, there must be indep ncient vid nee that, standing alone, will implicate the p erson being testified against. Under present day court philosophy, implicate is virtually a synonym for convict. It's similar to the old cliche about borrowing money from a bank; if you are financially solvent enough to qualify for a loan, you don't need to borrow. If you have enough evidence to corroborate the crime partner's testimony, you don't need the testimony. But we had to do the best we could with what we had, so, with Theodore's promise to testify, we went ahead and filed a murder charge against Gary, hoping to use Theo­ dore's testimony as the mainstay of our case, and be permitted to introduce what little additional evidence we had, being able to place him in the neighborhood when the crime was committed; the identical shotgun FARMER'S WELDING For Your Welding & Machine Needs -Day Or Night PHONE 945-2390 J.

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

McKinley, Sanger 875-6851 Without his confession there was no point in trying to prosecute Theodore for the murder either, so he was tried only for the burglary and robbery of the Coopers. As a prime ex­ ample of the inconsistency of jury reasoning, he was found guilty, on evidence not one bit more incriminating than we had had in Gary's trial. He was sentenced to a seven-year term in custody of the Youth Authority. Gary was returned to prison for violation of parole, but will no doubt be free, and may have killed someone else, by the time this account is printed. His scheduled release date is May 29, 1980.

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

Dreams of Being a Policeman The other night Robert Hawkins, a 22-year­ old DeKalb County officer, eli d when his car crashed while he was chasing a burglary suspect. I received a letter from one of Hawkins' fellow officers. He was shocked at the "total lack 6f recog­ nition of a police officer who gives his life for the people of his county and state. It not only angers me, but mostly it makes me v'ery sad." Hawkins, who leaves a young wife of less than a year, had dreamed as a kid of being a policeman.

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

Gallagher said having the one-on-one re­ lationships with the high school students has been helpful, both in his role as a coach and in his role as a police officer. ''I've been able to turn a couple of cases because of my contact with the kids," he said. 'They know an awful lot about what is happening in the area and just having a relationship where they can tell you some­ thing really helps. But even more important, I think we've been able to keep a number of kids from going over the edge because I was accessible and we were able to talk." Gallagher said he has had to deal with the problem of students and parents upset be­ cause of decisions he has had to make as a coach, but said simply by talking with them and making sure they understood why certain decisions were made has minimized those problems. "One thing you get from the kids, when they know you are a cop, is a continual line of Frank Santos Dairy FRANLANE HOLSTEINS 867·3849 22419 ELDER IRIVERDALE DUN'S SHOPPING CENTER 867-3586 21282 S.

On the other hand, they get to see you as a human being, and get to know that you are not just omeone who arrests people." Gallagher is .35 years old and said he is finishing up on his high hool teaching cre­ dential in case he decides he would like to teach full time upon retirement from the Sheriff's Office. "I thoroughly enjoy kids and coaching," he said. "If I couldn't continue this dual arrange­ ment, I think I would eventually lik to have a job in the classroom, and as a coach." Observing high school aged students from the perspective of both a coach and a law enforcement person, Gallagher feels students of today are "coming up from where they were a few y ars ago." ""Ve had som bad years in the late sixties," he said. "But I think the kids of today have come up from that all the way around. You still have some bad kids, but overall I think things are really looking better." Gallagher said th rural and mountain com­ munities are probably even more fortunate when it comes to their young people than the city dwellers. "Sierra High School, for instance, is blessed. The quality and level of the kids here is • unbelievable." Gallagher has been 'with the Sheriff's Office for a total of ten years, the last four in the mountains. He is a graduate of Fresno State, and also attended Long Beach State and "Vest Hills Community College. He was raised in Tranquillity and served a hitch in the Navy. He and his wife Sandy, and their two children live on Lodge Road near the high school. RABB BROS. TRUCKING, INC. P. O. Box 736 San Joaquin, Calif. Phone 693-4325 Eknoian & MacDonald Packing Co.

Dinaba, Selma 896-2552 170 I It's About Time! An article in the 1977 edition of The Review, dealing generally with the judicial system in California, mentioned that seldom does anyone challenge an incumbent judge in an election; that most vacancies, whether due to death, resignation, or creation of new posts, are filled by gubernatorial appointment. It was pointed out that because of this almost certain assurance of a lifetime job, a judge is virtually immune from public criticism; that many citizens are unaware that most judges can be voted out of office. We suggested that the only way the situation could be corrected, and the courts made truly responsible to the people, would be for citizens to publicize their criticisms and grievances pertaining to individual judges, to let qualified persons who ..-~____________d'--____. ___ ,I _ FRESNO VALVES &CASTINGS, INC.

The number of incumbent judges who are being challenged locally in this year's election, and are thus having to explain and defend their actions and philosophies, seems to indi­ cate that our 1977 article was widely read and its message taken seriously. We shan't pre­ sume to take all the credit, of course, for others have been saying the same thing for years. But we'd like to think we helped a little bit. There's some merit to the theory that the judiciary should not have to become involved in politics. But there's also merit to the theory that a judge should have to answer to the citizens who pay his salary. ..-----------------._--­ WELL'S USED CARS "We Carry All Our Own Contracts On All Makes & Models" TWO LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU 2600 Whitson SELMA 3043 Whitson 896-5232 896-2362 Fresno Phone 888-2292 -r (' EDSALL AGENCY o.

Look at it another way: What do doctors do with patients with a contagious disease? They isolate their patients so that the disease doesn't become epidemic in nature. Aren't prisons a form of isolation? Would doctors remove their patients from medical isolation and return them to the community while still in­ fected with a contagious disease? Of course they wouldn't. vVhy? Because they and the rest of us know what would happen to them and their license to practice if they did. We in the justice system release highly con­ tagious patients back into society all the time. We, in the the so-called criminal justice sys­ tem, have infected more law abiding citizens with more murderous and torturous deaths than in the history of our country, 11,000 in the -last five years. We have infected more law .abiding citizens with robbery, rape, mayhem, burglary and anything else you want to name, than ever before. I suggest that crime, if considered an illness, has long since reached epidemic proportions and you have yet to hear from the politicians that there is even a problem. Of course I am biased; however, I am con­ tinually amazed why the law abiding citizens of this state will sit still while this serious crime epidemic continues to increase. People in medicine know that if one slowly increases drug dosages the human system begins to react by increasing its tolerance level. However, if the dosages continue to be increased, in most all cases illness and even death will eventually occur; could it be that all of us have had our crime dosages slowly and continually increased to accept the unaccept­ able to where society now just sits and waits for the overdose? Can we believe that the good people of this state must continue to accept the increasing C.E.M.M.

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