We have also received word of the passing of two retired members of the Department. To the survivors of our departed colleagues, the Review staff, on behalf of the Relief Association, extends heartfelt sympathy. Don Douglas, or "Spud" as he was known to his many friends, was born in San Francisco, and came to Fresno as a child. He attended Webster Elementary School, Roosevelt High, and Fresno State College. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1948 to 1952, and joined the Sheriff's Department in October 1956. Spud made the usual progression through jail, bailiff, and patrol assign ments, and served for a while in the Juvenile Detail when it was known as the Crime Prevention Bureau. Because of his keen interest in law and the court room environment, he voluntarily re turned to bailiff duty after a few years as a field officer. He than enrolled in law school and earned a degree, but by that time the economic prospects for fledg ling attorneys was such that he decided against a law career. Spud was an avid sailing enthusiast, and has his own boat, on which he planned to spend a lot of time after re tirement, scheduled for late 1980. In May last year, he, his son, and another young man were on a sailing excursion down the California coast, when some where near the Channel Islands off Santa Barbara, a storm struck without warning. Spud was swept overboard, and although they made a desperate effort, the young men were unable to rescue him. About the only comforting thing one can say about the passing of Spud Doug las is that at least he went while doing something that meant a lot to him. 9 THE UNITED ACCOUNT ASK ABOUT IT!

Caughe1l was born in Fresno, attended St. John's Elemen tary School, San Joaquin Memorial High, Fresno City College, and Fresno State. He joined the Sheriff's Depart ment in August of 1967. Shortly after his law enforcement career began, John was stricken with Hodgkin's disease, and for a while it appeared that not only was his career at an end, but that there was little hope for his recovery. However, he made a valiant struggle against the illness, and after a few years of treatment at Stan ford University hospital, he returned to the Department, apparently fully re covered. After resuming his career John became an excellent patrol officer, served ,vith distinction in the Special Investigations Division, and a few years later vvas promoted to sergeant. He approached his supervisorial duties with the proper combination of aca demic knowledge, common sense, firmness, fairness, and dignity, and was highly regarded professionally and personally by both his superior officers and his subordinates. Early this year John became ill with what initially appeared to be influenza. When he didn't respond to convention al treatment, further examinations \vere conducted, but diagnosis came too late. He had fallen victim to a form of meningitis, to which he was no doubt more susceptible than usual because of his former bout with Hodgkin's disease. Some would say that his courageous battle against the first ailment had been in vain. But it gave him a few more years of useful life, which he utilized to the best of his ahility to make his com munity a safer place to live. 13 KONG'S MARKET Meat -Groceries -Produce Beer and Wine 3706 E.

Bill simply put into words what most of us in law enforcement have known for a long time. However, his candor was not universally appreciated. Apparently it was to him the leading local newspaper (in circula tion, not accuracy) referred when it sternly criticized a recently retired police official for daring to criticize a system of which he had been a part. The implication seemed to be that there is really nothing wrong with the system except for the disloyalty of a dis gruntled few. How any responsible publication can take such a position, when its own pages frequent ly carry accounts of obviously guilty persons being released on technicalities having no thing to do with guilt or innocence, is incred ible. Just in case the editors have failed to take note of such miscarriage of justice, or have conveniently forgotten, let's refresh their memories. Following are a half dozen typical court decisions made in the past few years, clearly indicating that the criminal justice system has become more concerned with the welfare of the criminal than that of his victim. Some we have mentioned in previous editor ials, but for their purpose in this issue they bear repeating. Some were decisions made by trial judges, and may have been reversed at the appellate or supreme court level. Even so, they indicate the prevalent tendency of foo many judges to go overboard in protecting the rights of the person accused of a crime, even if it means ignoring the rights of the victim of a crime. 1. A patrol officer receives a call that something is wrong at a certain address. There is no further information. When he knocks on the door a woman appears. He asks, "What's wrong here, ma'am?" She says, "I just killed my husband." Subsequent in vestigation tends to confirm her statement.

A department store security guard catches a juvenile in the act of stealing cos tume jewelry. The case is dismissed because he made some remark that elicited a confes sion without advising her of her rights.

There are vague indications the pendulum may someday begin to swing the other way. All over the nation people are becoming fed up with rampant crime and failure of the criminal justice system to take effective action against it. The new administration in Wash ington seems to be in favor of genuine law and order. Even our own liberal governor claims to have adopted a "tough on crime" stance.

Sheriff McKinney gave me the assignment on the theory that an outsider can view an operation from a more detached perspective than someone closely involved, and can thus be more objective in the evaluation. I'm now an outsider as far as law enforce ment is concerned. On that same theory, I'd like to share with readers of the Review some of my thoughts and impressions of the pro fession. It won't be a collection of "war stor ies," an attempt to justify mistakes or claim credit for accomplishments, or an airing of grievances. Rather, it will be comments on the criminal justice system in general, its strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures. The intent is to help the people who pay for the system better understand what they're getting for their money. WHY IS A COP A COP? One of the questions a police officer hears most frequently is, "Why did you decide to be a cop?" Usually, the unsaid but clearly im plied accompanying thought is, "There must be better ways to make a living." Apparently it is difficult for the average citizen to under stand that a person can choose such a career simply because it's the kind of work he likes to do, and that not all of us have the same likes and dislikes in that regard. Some look upon a career as a road to financial success and!or public acclaim; to others, the primary concern is the work itself. Even so, such puzzlement is understandable, for there aren't too many obvious advantages or attractive features connected with police work. I doubt that any of us ever answer the question in a way the questioner can understand. And, of course, there is no one answer, even for a single individual. Money certainly isn't the answer, particu larly for those of us who entered the profes sion in the fifties and sixties. Even now, with salaries in most sizable departments at a re spectable level, the entrance requirements have been raised also, and a young man or woman with the qualifications for police service could also qualify for a high salaried position in another field. Job security may be a factor, but it's not a major one. There are many other jobs with civil service protection, and with better hours and more public ap preciation. We've been accused by certain psycholo gists of donning the police uniform in re sponse to some latent personality flaw or quirk. The most common theory along that line is that we thus satisfy some inner need to dominate others, to exercise authority, or to prove our manhood. (I don't know how that last need would apply to female officers.) That may be a valid theory in isolated in stances, but to apply it to police officers in general would be as nonsensical as saying surgeons all have a sadistic streak that makes them enjoy cutting on people. Occasionally we hear an officer claim, usually because he thinks it's what he's ex pected to say, that the main attraction of the job is working with people and helping them with their problems, or that he derives great satisfaction from making his community a 21 ' cl SORRY YOU BROKE IT!

For most of us, these are valid factors, but not ones we think about a great deal, and certainly not of such impor tance that they weighed heavily in our career decisions. Law enforcement isn't the only field in which one can be of service to others. As for making the community safer, while it is a laudable ambition, the true crusader against crime won't last as a police officer. He'll be frustrated too often at the failure of his efforts. What, then, is the basic motivation toward a law enforcement career? Art Tabler may have come pretty close to the answer in the days when it was impossible to maintain an adequate standard of living for the family on one salary. He said, "My wife works so I can indulge in my hobby." For most of us, I think it is a game we like to play. Not a game in the sense that we fail to take it seriously, but a game in the sense that it is a challenge from which we derive great inner satisfaction. A successful businessman enjoys the game of trying to pick the most advantageous invest ment, get the best deal on merchandise, and devising schemes to outwit his competitors. When he wins, there's an inner feeling that is much more satisfying than the mere knowl edge he has made a profit. The medical re searcher who discovers a cure for some dread disease may be partially motivated by con cern for his fellow man, but not to the extent that such motivation alone would be likely to spur him on to success. His primary incentive is the challenge of pitting his wits and skills against the unknown scourge. In much the same way, the good cop enjoys pitting his wits and skill against those of the criminal. But he's pragmatic about it. When the detective completes an investigation that results in conviction of the suspect, or when a patrolman catches a criminal in the act or thwarts him by effective patrol action, they know they haven't won the game. But they've scored a few points, and that can be a very satisfactory feeling. . That such inner satisfaction from the chal lenge of the job is its main attraction is 22 pr all m ca ly in A: fo th al ~ eI OJ C~ w n4 tc P T S~ b d probably why there are so many frustrated and unhappy police administrators at the middle management level. The lieutenant and captain are too advanced in rank to be active ly involved in what attracted them to the job in the first place, yet they don't have the challenge of formulating department policy. After patrolling a beat or investigating cases for years, or directly supervising others in those activities, sitting at a desk and worrying about budgetary and disciplinary problems can be pretty dull. It's too bad real life law enforcement can't be more like that depicted on television, where lieutenants and even captains are actively involved in field police work. Perhaps the answer is to utilize more non-police personnel in staff assignments, or to make an effort to fill such positions with persons inclined toward that type of work. The good patrol officer or detective, or the competent field supervisor, does not neces sarily make a good staff officer. There should be a system whereby the officer with the desire and talent for staff duty could orient his career in that direction, and the one whose talents and interest lie in the field could remain where he functions best, without the sacrifice of salary or prestige. HAZARDS OF THE PROFESSION PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL The physical danger a police officer en counters is not manifested as frequently as indicated by television cop dramas, where in virtually every episode the hero has to fight with a gun or his fists for his life. But the danger is always there, lurking silently in the dark alley, the routine car stop, the family disturbance, almost everywhere the officer goes or whatever he does, waiting to pounce without warning. The mere fact that actually hazardous incidents are infrequent is in itself a hazard, because it can foster complacency and carelessness. Every officer understands the constant latent danger, and each reacts to it in his or her own way.

Others refuse to face reality, continuaLly saying to themselves, "It won't happen to lJ1e." Still others become almost paranoid in their fear that it will happen to them, and adopt such elaborate procedures for protection against that eventuality that their effectiveness is destroyed, or at least seriously hampered. The really good cop, however, takes the common sense approach that he certainly is not immune from a situation of extreme physical danger, and that while the chances can be lessened by certain precautions, they can't be entirely eliminated, and if he is un willing to risk some physical danger, he shouldn't have become a cop in the first place. The officer with such a philosophy will probably survive as well as or better than his colleagues at eith~r extreme of attitude, and he certainly will do a better job.

A good example is a current training film depicting a lone officer stopping a carload of wanted felony suspects. It shows him having an unlimited amount of time to keep them under surveillance from the pro tection of his patrol car, giving them direc tions via the public address speaker, while he radios for an unlimited degree of readily available assistance. Altogether, the stop and subsequent arrest take what appears to be several hours. Such a procedure is fine from an officer safety point of view, but it is a bit unrealistic. Seldom will an officer have un limited time or so much help readily avail able. The film message should be that it is virtually impossible to effect a car stop without some risk, and point out practical ways to minimize it rather than unrealistic ways to eliminate it.

But if I had, I had one advantage the field officer of today does not enjoy. That is the virtual certainty that my actions would have been supported by the criminal justice system and the public, assuming, of course, that I had acted reason ably and prudently. Today, no matter how obviously great the danger or how justified the means to counter it, the officer is likely to find himself explaining his action to a police review board, or to a court, and being casti gated or at least second-guessed by a news media implication that he was guilty of police brutality because he was successful in de fending himself.

There is no doubt about the accuracy of such statistics. But I wonder, at least as far as divorce, stress effects, and'alcoholism are concerned, if such constant harping on the subject isn't contri buting to the problem rather than to the solution. How many marriages have fallen victim to the theory that divorce among law enforce ment officers is almost inevitable? How many couples, at the first sign of serious difficulty in their marriages, have said, "Hell, we might as well go ahead and get a divorce now. It's going to happen eventually anyway," instead of making a sincere effort to solve their prob lems and make their marriages work? As for over-emphasis on stress contributing to the problem, a possible example is an incident related by Larry Nelson last year upon his return from a training session in· southern California. The incident had actually hap pened in a department in that area; it was not a part of the training program. It seems that M & H TOWING HEAVY DUTY ~ 24 HOUR SERVICE Call 237-6307 4453 S.

After a few days, however, one of them remembered hearing that some departments had a policy of giving officers involved in such incidents time off with pay for the psychological wounds to heal. He requested and was granted several days off. Each of the other officers then decided that he, too, had suffered as much stress as the first, so they all asked for and were given time off. As a result, the department was out several thousand dollars in lost time for officers who didn't show any signs of suffer ing from stress until those signs were induced by the power of suggestion. It is quite possible that sometime in the future one or more of that group will use their being granted time off for some vague psychological ailment as basis for requesting service connected dis- ability retirement.

HARRISON • PINEDALE, CA 93650 r t B \ t [ il a n p b n h P tl 0 : t~ rE m al st. th pI fa 28 v Alcoholism and heart disease are, in my opinion, generally the result of the affected officer's failure or inability to adopt the pre viously men'tioned pragmatic attitude toward his job. He becomes so frustrated because his efforts so often fail or his standards are not met, that he resorts to excessive drinking to relieve that frustration, encouraged by the theory that alcoholism among policemen is about as inevitable as divorce, and he might as well do his part to prove that premise. Or, he turns the frustration into repressed resent ment, which damages his heart. This clearly indicated the need for psychological testing as a part of the entry process, to eliminate those who clearly do not have the proper tempera ment to function as police officers, and for psychological counseling as a part of the training program to help the new officer recognize, accept, and adapt to the fact that his efforts won't always achieve the desired result. That way, psychology would be a positive influence, instead of the negative one that constantly reminds officers of the pitfalls of their profession. As for suicide among retired officers, I think it also could be lessened by some pre retirement counseling as a part of a depart ment sponsored program to assist the officer approaching retirement to adjust to his new status, or, in the eyes of some of them, lack thereof. For that may be the root of the problem. For a major p~ut of his life, law en forcement was his life; so much so that he has neglected to develop other interests, or even to think about how he would spend his time after retirement. (I'm now referring, of course, to the retired officer who eventually resorts to suicide.) Retirement was always years in the future. But suddenly the future becomes the present. He finds himself with no official status, no authority, little prestige. John Wayne, playing the role of a cavalry captain facing retirement in She Wore a Yel low Ribbon, said it well. "One day you snap your fingers and lieutenants fall all over themselves to obey your commands. Thenext 29 day, no one would hire you to shoe a horse." Industry and certain social agencies are doing a great deal to help those in the private sector to prepare for and adjust to retirement. Law enforcement, where retirement is likely to be much earlier, and thus potentially more traumatic, would do well to follow that lead. HOW EFFECTIVE IS LAW ENFORCEMENT? With all the current publicity about the rising crime rate, particularly crimes of vio lence, one of the questions that frequently comes to mind is, "Is law enforcement doing all it can to prevent crime?" Generally, I would say, at least in California, the answer is in the affirmative. Considering the budgetary restrictions imposed by Proposition 13, the legal constraints imposed by an extremely liberal judicial philosophy, and a recent phil osophy regarding employee rights that ser iously hampers an administrator's authority,· law enforcement is doing an admirable job. There is always room for improvement, of course, and progressive police administrators are eagerly seeking new ways to make the efforts of their departments more effective, particularly more cost effective. Quite often such efforts are hampered by tradition. For instance, twenty years ago law enforcement took great pride in being the one agency the public turned to for assistance when it wasn't available anywhere else, re gardless of whether or not the problem had anything to do with crime. Every officer was expected to be a real jack-of-all-trades; a public servant in the most literal sense of the word. We were asked to run errands, start stalled automobiles, catch stray dogs, frighten unruly children into behaving, dispense infor mation on topics not even remotely connect ed with law enforcement, settle petty disputes between neighbors, and act as marriage counselors, legal advisors, and father figures. We were told that no matter how trivial a citizen's complaint or problem appeared to be, to him it was of major importance or he wouldn't have called it to our attention, and we were to treat it accordingly. We were never supposed to admit to a citizen that his problem was out of our jurisdiction, or, if it were a crime, no matter how trivial, imply that the evidence was such that there was little or nothing we could do in the way of follow up investigation, and that there was therefore little likelihood it would ever be solved. In stead, we were supposed to take a report and conduct some sort of preliminary investiga tion, or appear to do so, in such a manner as to leave him with the illusion that his case would be the primary interest of the entire depart ment until it was solved. All this was fine prior to Proposition 13. If the public was willing to pay a college educated police officer a good salary to spend most of his time on trivial matters, it was the public's money, and there was more where that came from to hire plenty of officers to also take care of the important, crime related matters.

The tax money available to operate a police agency is now so limited that if a de partment is to be truly cost effective, every penny must be spent on a matter directly related to crime control. The public must learn that whenever an officer is required to spend time in a matter not related to his pri mary function, his time and their money are being wasted. Some departments, the Fresno Police De partment included, have initiated programs to lessen the time an officer must spend on less important matters. The primary one is tele phone report taking. When a citizen calls to report a minor theft or similar incident where there is no basis for positive action, but a report is necessary to file an insurance claim, the information is taken by telephone, thus saving the department the time and expense of having an officer dispatched to the scene. The policy was adopted with some trepida tion, for no one knew what the public reac tion would be. It was a pleasant surprise to Atlas Plastering, Inc.

Most citizens, it was learned, are reasonable and intelligent, and readily understand that it doesn't make sense to have an officer drive several miles and spend up to an hour to record information that can be recorded in just a few minutes by telephone. Sheriff McKinney had devised a plan to make the Sheriff's Department's fight against crime more effective by taking the fight to the enemy, rather than follow the traditional method of waiting for the criminal to act, then react by trying to identify and apprehend him. Somevery progressive, innovative think ing is involved, but since at the time of writing the necessary financing has not been ap proved, it would not be in order to discuss it here. I shall say only that even though there will be some additional cost, it will be a good patrol cars with extra powerful engines and beefed-up suspension, particularly for de partments that don't concentrate on traffic law enforcement and a high speed chase is a rarity; the economical feasibility of rebuild ing automobiles after a certain wear point has been reached, instead of acquiring new one; and even the copcept of routine patrol itself. There is some thought, supported to some degree by formal study, that police patrol is not cost effective; that with the high cost of fuel and maintenance, it would pay to have the patrol officer remain at headquarters or other designated fixed locations, and leave only to respond to calls, rather than drive around between calls and make his presence known and thus discourage criminal activity. In the Sheriff's Department, and probably most other sizable agencies, this is a moot investment. Other law enforcement traditions which are being carefully re-evaluated by various police agencies are the necessity for full size point, for call activity is such that there is little time left for routine patroling anyway. All things considered, law enforcement is effective. Administrators are not sitting CHURCHILL ENTERPRISES GERALD V.

Instead, they're racking their brains, and calling on every ounce of ability and experience to find ways to make the limited funds go as far and do as an effective job as possible. However, most departments are just this budget year beginning to feel the true impact of Proposition 13. There's a limit to what innovative thinking and streamlining of operations can accomplish. WHA T'S WRONG IN LAW ENFORCEMENT? Many officers and administrators would say that the main problem in the law enforce ment profession is the failure of other ele ments of the criminal justice system to effec tively deal with the criminals we arrest. Others would give top billing to budgetary restrictions caused by Proposition 13. I agree that both are serious problems, but I would not rate either of them as the main problem. In my opinion, that distinction belongs to a com bination of three factors that has deprived the department heads and other administrators of the authority to effectively manage their departments and units. The first is a philosophy that every citizen has a right to be a police officer if he so desires, and.even if he is obviously not able to function adequately in that job, he still has a right to try. Completely ignored is the right of the public, the employer of police officers, to have only well qualified persons working for them. Twenty or so years ago a state agency designated as the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission, commonly re ferred to as POST, began to devise certain minimum qualifications for police officers, intended to bring law enforcement up to true professional status. Great strides were initially made in that direction, then most of them were nullified by two basic court decisions. One was that minimum height and weight requirements were unconstitutional because t] a ri b rl tl iJ 51 d b f; n s: d p d I p a d b nBALTHROP ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL License No. 260648 233-14116 4683 S.

DAKOTA 229-6571 32 they discriminated against certain races and all women, depriving them of their inherent right to Qe police officers. The standards had been set simply to ensure that a police officer would have the strength and stamina to cope with the occasional but inevitable situations requiring such qualities, and thus better serve their employers, the public. However, the implication of the court decision was that the standards had been deliberately intended to deny law enforcement employment to mem bers of certain races and to females of all races. The fact they also excluded a good many white, Anglo-Saxon males was not con sidered relevant. It's surprising the court didn't also decide the requirement that a peace officer be able to see and hear was discriminating against the blind and deaf. Had a blind or deaf person raised that issue, it probably would have. The second court ruling referred to was that a testing process designed to find the candi date with intelligence, sound judgment, and a broad knowledge and understanding of com munity, state, and national affairs, in addition to knowledge of the job itself, was also un constitutional. It allegedly discriminated against the minority candidate who may not have had the opportunity to acquire such a well-rounded education. Again, the fact such a test also eliminated many candidates not of a minority group was ignored. It was decided that a test could contain no question that was not directly related, by extremely narrow UL CENTRAL STATION SERVICES INSURANCE CREDITS INSTALLATION AND 24-HOUR SERVICE • Burglary • Holdup • Fire • Access Control BUSINESS RESIDENTIAL interpretation, to the candidate's potential ability to perform the basic job. Tests were duly revised, and certain social agencies es tablished coaching programs to help minor ity candidates acquire sufficient knowledge to pass. Obviously, an examination confined to such narrow limits does not indicate a candidate's overall aptitude. I've known of ficers who co~ld memorize the Penal Code and any text book given to them, but they were still poor officers. When the revised tests still failed to pro duce the desired number of minority candi dates, someone came up with the pass-fail test, whereby all who pass the written exam ination go before the oral board with equal status. The candidate who achieved a 100 percent grade on his written test has no advantage over the one with a barely passing score of 70 percent. Needless to say, this system has resulted in a significant overall reduction in law enforce ment capability and performance. And, in my opinion, it is an insult to the many excellent officers of minority background who made the effort to properly prepare themselves for the examination, and competed with no special consideration. The second of the three factors is a move ment which began about ten years ago, giving peace officers certain bargaining rights in such matters as salaries, fringe benefits, and working conditions. The idea was good in the beginning, and filled a definite need. How- Call... 237-8347 925 North Abby Street • Closed Circuit TV • Industrial Process COMMERCIAL 33 ever, as labor organizations tend to do, it has by now gone a bit too far. I have no quarrel with an officer, of any rank, having the right to bargain for salaries and fringe benefits, nor about working conditions, if that term could be more precisely defined. The fact it is ambiguous and subject to broad interpreta tion creates a serious problem. There are few ideas a department head can put into effect, or changes he can make, that can't be con strued as affecting working conditions. This may be true even in such simple matters, formerly unquestionably the prerogative of the department head, as changing work schedules, uniform requirements, and job assignment policy. It therefore has reached the point where the department head must meet and confer with his subordinates, and not his immediate subordinates and advisors but the rank and file, regarding virtually every decision he makes. The department head, whether he is a sheriff who is elected, or a chief of police appointed by authority of elected officials, has been given responsibility and authority for formulating policy and seeing that it is enforced. In his handling of that responsibility and authority, he should have to answer only to the people as a whole, not to his subordin ates, who clearly are in a position to have their judgment affected by personal bias. The third factor in the combination is actually a sub-combination of two related factors, a piece of legislation known as the Peace Officer's Bill of Rights, and the civil service system that makes it virtually impos sible to effectively discipline or discharge an employee, no matter how unruly or incapable he or she may be. There's nothing wrong with a bill of rights for peace officers. I was a supervisor or administrator for most of my career, and I never felt any subordinate of mine needed a special law to ensure fair treatment from me, and I don't think any of them ever felt that need, but I'm sure there are situations where the need definitely exists.

That may have always be,en the case in some jurisdictions, hut in Fresno County it did not apply until recently. The civil service system was originally established to ensure job security for the competent employee, by prohibiting his be ing arbitrarily laid off due to a change in administration, or for other unjustifiable rea son. As with most good ideas, the original intent has been grossly distorted. The Depart ment, as required by the Peace Officer's Bill of Rights, has an elaborate, clearly defined disciplinary policy.

Every disciplinary action is reviewed by the Sheriff before taking effect. Yet virtually every time an action is appealed to the county civil service commission, it is overturned. There is even one case on record where an employee was convicted of a crime, dis charged via proper procedure, and then ordered reinstated after a civil service hear ing. That aug\lst body's reasoning was that his crime was not of a nature likely to affect his ability to properly perform his duties. The GLOBE ELECTRIC CO.

HAMMOND FRESNO, CA 93703 crime was altering a court document, and his regular assignment was as a court bailiff, where he handles court documents every day. I think that the extremely liberal thinking of the judiciary is the second most serious prob lem faced by law enforcement. I won't dwell on that subject, for it is being talked to death, with little action being taken, already. But I would like to point out that in my consider able experience as a patrol officer, a detec tive, and a supervisor of those functions, I never, either before or after the Miranda and Escobedo decisions, knew of any instance of an officer trying to coerce or otherwise per suade an innocent person to confess to a crime. That is the eventuality those decisions were intended to prevent. I'm sure it has happened somewhere, sometime, but such incidents are the exception, not the rule. I have known of, and taken part in, situations wherein a person strongly suspected of being ing guilty was, through adroit questioning, tripped up on his own lies and thus induced to confess, when he may not have done so had he been previ~usly advised of his right to remain silent and to counsel. But the failure to so advise him didn't alter his guilt. WHAT IS RIGHT IN LAW ENFORCEMENT?

Any success I thus attained has not been without its price, but the price was my problem, not that of the profes sion. I would not unqualifiedly recommend it to a young person considering it as a career. That is a decision only the person concerned can make. Whether or not it would be a suit able career depends on what one is willing to put into it, and what is expected in return. One must be not only willing to work nights and weekends for many years, but expect to do so. Another expectation is that he will regularly encounter and deal with all sorts of unpleasant people and situations, plus the constant pos sibility of physical danger. There may be undue strains on the marriage, and on friend ships with people not involved and thus not having a good understanding of the job.

In spite of the reverse discriminatory hiring practices and the ultra liberal civil service system, the misfits usually fall by the wayside through their own ineptitude. Thanks to POST, which in spite of court decisions contrary to its intent and a bit of empire building on its own that has made it a little too big for its britches, police officers in California today are better qualified and trained than any of us ever dreamed possible twenty years ago. In most agencies, salaries are at a level comparable with jobs in private ind ustry with similar q ualifica tions.

He's not getting rich, of course, but he doesn't have to be ashamed of his salary, and some of the fringe benefits he receives, not usually available in the private sector, make it even more attractive. Police officers of today are also much better equipped than we were a generation ago. Our patrol cars were standard sedans to which a primitive two-way radio, a siren, a red spot light, and a plain spot light had been added. If we saw a suspicious person in a vehicle and wanted a registration check, we radioed in the license number, and, ifwe were lucky, had the information within 24 hours. Today it takes a few seconds. There is much more concern for the of ficer's safety than in my day. We had no screens between the front and back seats, no bulletproof vests, no P-24 batons, little train ing in self defense. Furthermore, in spite of the apparent lack of public support for police officers and their efforts today, I think the situation is an im provement over that we faced. Today the citizens whose opinion really matters realize the cop has a tough, complicated job, and they just don't know how to show their ap preciation.

Today it is regarded as a true career that many capable and intelligent people will admit they couldn't handle. Even in the most talked about problem the police officer faces today, there is a ray of hope. There are indications that society is becoming so fed up with crime and undue concern for the criminal that changes will soon be demanded, in one of two possible ways. The people will make their feelings known to the various legislative bodies in such an emphatic way, and this has already begun, that laws will be passed to restore to the law abiding citizen the right to protection from the criminal, and to provide that the criminal, even though he has certain rights that will be protected, will be held responsible for his actions. The alternative, if the legislative bodies fail to act, will be to put initiatives making such provisions on the ballot, in the same way property tax reform was effected via Proposition 13. I predict that one of these courses of action will become a reality within a very few years, and that, in addition to a substantial reduction in the crime rate, law enforcement will become an even better career to follow.

A good example was the School Resources Program, which had two or three officers assigned full time to visit schools. Their mission was to establish rapport with the students, and at tempt to instill in their minds the proper respect for law and order, and an understand ing of the role of the law enforcement officer in society. The results, of course, were intangible; no one could say how many children were thus steered away from a tendency toward anti social attitude and behavior, and helped to grow up into respectable, law-abiding citi zens ..

However, we couldn't prove its value in relation to more immediate problems, so the School Resources Program naturally was one of the first to get the ax. It has also been necessary to drastically curtail attendance at out-of-county training sessions and seminars. For several years we have enjoyed the reputation of being one of the best trained departments overall in the state. Now that we are unable to take advan tage of all opportunities, we may not be able to retain that distinction. As in the case of School Resources, officer training beyond the bare essentials is an intangible, the value of which is difficult to measure.

Primarily through the ingenuity and resourcefulness of Sergeant Rick Boland, that plan has become a reality, in spite of budget restrictions, and at virtually no cost to the county. Following is an account by one of the officers responsible of how this goal was attained. NEW CLASSROOM FOR THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT In the spring of 1980, Sergeant Rick Boland and Deputy Rod Craig took on what we thought was the impossible task of procuring a much needed classroom for our Depart ment. With the assistance of several indivi duals and a true dedication to "alternative ways of materials acquisition," the classroom was constructed in a short period of time. This classroom has been named in honor of recent ly retired Assistant Sheriff William R. Young, who provided both Rick and Rod valuable insight on "property acquisition." Rick Boland provided most of the ideas and much of the hand labor needed to put the classroom together. Detective Garry Elliott provided carpeting, along with his expertise in installation.

Sergeant Mike Cmmingham devoted many hours in constructing wooden stands for the audio visual equipment and frames to house the various displays in the classroom. Detective Carl Henson donated a clock for the class room while Detective Tony Braga made several displays of narcotics and related paraphernalia to assist instructors with their presentations. We should add that Rick talked his father into assisting with his expertise in construction methods-the most 0 bvious item being the podium in the front of the class room. At this point the classroom was ready for completion excepting some type of drapery to cover the many windows. This problem, which would have been next to impossible to ov~rcome for some people, was only a minor inconvience for Rick and Rod. Both officers attended a meeting in Sacramento at the Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training, better known as P.O.S.T. It seems that this meeting was held in the executive director's conference room, which was fully draped and of similar dimensions to our classroom. Well, needless to say, Rick and Rod left Sacramento with the drapes from the director's conference room, and our new classroom donned a set of slightly used drapes. Both Rick and Rod have invoked their Fifth Amendment privilege against self in crimination when questioned about how they convinced the director to "donate" his drapes for our classroom. The classroom is now being used on a daily basis, including weekends. Although it was constructed primarily for in-service train ing classes, it has been utilized by Fresno City College, California State University, Fresno, University of California at Berkeley, and the Bahn-Fair Institute. Additionally, the class room has provided us an excellent formal setting for departmental meetings and press conferences. These pictures will give you some idea of 43 how much work and how successful the efforts of many were in completing this classroom. Keep in mind that this classroom was completed despite the fact that budget constraints cut off any funding for this project. A.

PEACH , FRESNO RES: 834-3860 MOBILE TELEPHONE: 237-9103 -C.<\R ?IS 46 Administration Division The Administrative Division is, for the most part, the housekeeping, or service, unit of the Department. With a couple of exceptions, its activities are a type of service to other units of the Department, assisting them in the primary function of prevention, detection, and control of criminal activity. Mundane as these duties are, compared to actually investigating crimes and apprehending criminals, they are vital to successful prosecution. In this division one finds the Business Bureau, which administers the budget, keeps the books, handles the payroll, and maintains custody of property and items held for evidence. There is the Records Section, where investigation reports are processed for use in court and filed for future reference, criminal history information is kept up to date, warrants of arrest are pro cessed and filed, information dispensed at the counter and by telephone to persons and agencies authorized by law to have it. The Fingerprint and Modus Operandi Section photographs and fingerprints persons arrest ed, and processes information regarding court dispositions, to create and update criminal history files, and maintains certain files as an investigative aid. The Crime Lab analyzes evidence by scientific process, and prepares it for presentation in court. The Technical Services Section specializes in crime scene search and collection and preservation of evidence. Two units of the division, the Bailiff Serv ices Section and the Civil Section, have what would be classified as line duties rather than staff. Members of the former serve as aides to the court, and as representatives of the Sher iff, as required by law. Officers of the Civil Section serve civil processes pursuant to orders from the courts.

Commander ation, because the personnel don't respond to emergency calls or actively fight crime in a direct sense, it is one of the first units looked at when cuts are to be made or budget requests to be deleted. Noone has been laid off or actually demoted; however, some positions have not been filled when they became vacant; justified upward re-classification re quests have been denied; and some positions are being down-graded through attrition, with vacancies being filled at the lower classification. Because of the elimination of one Identifi cation Technician II position, the Modus Operandi files are not nearly as valuable an aid to the Detective Division as they once were. The Records Section has not had an increase in personnel since the constables became a part of the Sheriff's Department in 1973, in spite of continually increasing de mand on their services. It has become difficult to recruit qualified officers to fill vacancies in the Technical Services Section because of the downgrading of the Criminologist position to that of Deputy Sheriff III, and the possibility of further downgrading. The Crime Lab, once well on its way to becoming a first-rate facility capable of handling any type of evi dence analysis the Department might need, has been unable to purchase necessary equip 49 J. VERMASON Deputy Detached Duty. VMC Security ment, and does well each year to maintain the status quo in the state of the science. Throughout the division, equipment and furniture are wearing out, with little hope of replacement, even though in some instances maintenance costs are probably greater than replacement cost would be. This is true, of course, in all divisions, but the effect is more pronounced in this division because of the more extensive use of office equipment. In most instances, supervisors and employ ees have accepted the disadvantages and frustrations in good spirit, and are managing to do a creditable job, in spite of them. Opera tions have been streamlined, and a great deal of imagination has gone into improvising ways to make existing equipment keep work ing. But there's a limit to how far operations can be streamlined, and to what improvisa tion can accomplish. In the Administration Division, that limit has just about been reached .

Since then there have been many changes in personnel, as well as an increase in the number of Superior and Municipal judge ships, and a decrease in Justice Court posts because of consolidation. To bring our read ers up to date, we introduce the judges of Fresno County with a brief biographical sketch of each. Each judge was given an opportunity to make a statement or com ments to be published, and a few did so. With that information, we shall include one brief editorial comment. Some of the judges BETTER HOSPITALS MEAN BETTER CARE AND BETTER HEALTH SUPPORT SAINT AGNES HOSPITAL BUILDING PROGRAM FRANK C. DIENER RANCH Five Points, Calif. were elected after campaigning on a strict law and order platform. 'We're sure that they, and the judges who were appointed, are doing their best to see that justice is served. How ever, we must remember that most of the judicial decisions affecting law enforcement are made by courts at the appellate or state or federal Supreme Court level. A trial judge must abide by those decisions, no matter how strongly he may personally disagree with the upper court's reasoning. We therefore can't expect miracles of our local judges, for they must make their decisions within the rules laid down by the Legislature, as interpreted by the upper courts. The Review feels that generally our local judges are doing an excellent job. SUPERIOR COURT Judge HolJis G. Best was born in Curry County, New Mexico, and grew up in Mon terey, where he attended elementary and high school. He is an alumnus of Fresno State and the Stanford University School of Law. He was admitted to the bar in 1951, and began his career as a deputy district attorney for Fresno County. Later he was in private practice for a number of years, involved in both criminal 63 defense and general civil practice. In his present assignment he presides over settle ment conferences, civil law and motion calen dar, and both criminal and civil trials. He and his wife, Kathryn Jean, have four children: David S., Daniel E., Kathryn A., and Laura Jean Marks. To our invitation to comment, Judge Rest responded as follows: "It is imperative that the judiciary maintain its status under our constitutional frame\,vork as an equal and independent branch of gov ernment. It is equally important that our courts exercise restraint and confine them selves to their proper constitutionaJ role in order that the two fundamental principles in the development of the law in our society can be restored and maintained. I believe those principles to be: 1) the law must be clearly established, publicly recorded, and followed; and 2) new laws must be created by legis latures and not by the courts. 'The court's role in our criminal justice system, both at the trial level and the appel late level, must be re-directed to the search for truth and justice founded upon that truth and away from the search for error. Judge Anthony Dennis Caeton was born in Hanford, and attended Lakeside Elementary and Hanford High School. He then attended the University of California at Los Angeles, and the University of Southern California, taking his law degree there and being admit ted to the bar in 1968. He began his career as a deputy public defender for Los Angeles County, then took a similar position with Fresno County. Later he became Assistant District Attorney for Fresno County. He was a Municipal Court Judge before his elevation to the Superior Court last year. He is presently presiding over the criminal department of the Superior Court. His wife's name is Robbie, and they have three children, Alan, Pam, and Daniel. L & R NOBLE HARVESTING 3 MILES EAST OF FIVE POINTS ON MT.

His professional education was received at the University of San Francisco School of Law, and he was admitted to the bar in 1953. He was in general civil and criminal practice 64 in Fresno for several years before accepting his present position. His wife's name is Rober ta, and they have eight children: Michael, Stephen, Patricia, Joan, Mary, Jane, Susan, and James. Judge Frank J. Creede, Jr. was born in San Francisco, where he attended St. Monica Ele mentary School and St. Ignatius High School. He was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree at Stanford University in 1947, earned a Bache lor of Laws degree at the University of San Francisco School of Law in 1950, and later received a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree. He was admitted to the bar in January of 1951. He was in private practice in Fresno before his appointment to the bench, where he presently presides over both criminal and civil trials. He and his wife, Mary E., have four children, Laurel L., Donna M., Frank J. III, and Mark L. Judge Creede made the following com ments: "It is the obligation of the criminal justice system to protect society and to deter criminal conduct by demonstrating its consequences. Those who present a threat to society and prey upon their fellow citizens must be prevented from committing new crimes by isolation through incarceration. There should be continuing emphasis on consistency in dealing with those who have adopted crimi nal values. 1 here is a need to focus on serious recidivists starting with the Juvenile Court. "The court must achieve uniformity in sen tencing and distinguish between criminals who present a high risk for continued crimi nality and others who do not have criminal propensities. These goals can be achieved while affording a fair trial to all parties within the framework of constitutional guarantees which have served our nation well for more than 200 years.

The present strength is 47 officers and three clerical persons. Perhaps Mr. Jarvis can explain how a personnel reduction in a vital law enforcement function does not con stitute a lowering of the level of police service. This reduction was not caused by a transfer of positions to some unnecessary or less impor tant service. It was due primarily to the sharp increase in drug traffic, which made it neces sary to increase the strength of the Special Investigatioi-Is Division. It is doubtful if many who swallowed the pro-Proposition 13 propa ganda expected a move of that nature. It was only the "frills and fancy progams" that were to be cut; those which had no effect on the control of crime. It's too bad it didn't work out that way. Because of the reduction in personnel, the Detective Division has found it necessary to adopt what is known as a case management program, whereby cases are screened by supervisors before assignment, and only those which appear to have a fair chance of being solved are assigned for investigation. \,Vhat that means, of course, is that not every victim of a crime can count on an active effort being made to identify and apprehend the perpetra- FAMILY LlaUOR STORE 655-4845 896 OLLER STREET MENDOTA tor and to recover the stolen property, if any. This system is not as bad as it seems, of course. If there does appear to be something on which to base an investigation, it is as signed, so the only ones not assigned are those which the detective probably wouldn't have devoted much time to anyway. There are even some advantages to the program which, in the opinion of some officers, may outweigh the disadvantages. The primary one is that because the detective is not burdened with an overwhelming number of cases he knows he'll never solve, he is psychologically more able to cope with those where there is something to work on. Still, there have always been a few appar ently hopeless cases solved simply through being assigned, and the detective either see ing something in the circumstances at the time, or running onto it later, that will indicate the identity of the person responsible. And sometimes a bit of preliminary investigation on an apparently hopeless case will provide the basis for a successful investigation. Such factors were carefully considered, of course, and it was not by choice that the case management system was adopted, but by necessity. Fifty people can't do the work formerly done by 55, particularly when the 55 had a bigger workload than they could capably handle. BAYOU BAIT AND TACKLE BOB AND ANITA BAKER 30440 W.

The index file is purged periodically, to remove cards pertaining to those who are deceased or so old they are not likely to be of any further interest to the criminal justice system. Purging is not a high priority task, however, for the only harm the old cards do is take up space in the cabinets, and it is usually done only on the rare occa sions when a clerk has no backlog of more important work. On each occasion, then, many cards are found which could have been removed long ago. The cards are usually simply thrown away after removal, but in looking at some of them about the time a clerk began the job last year, I saw the potential for a story, so I asked her to save them for me. They provide an interesting commentary, not only on the law enforce ment situation down through the years, but also of the times and social situation in general. As we mention the various persons, unusual charges and seemingly harsh sentences for our day and age, we shall refer to them by number. Some of the names, while there may be no connection, are identical to family names well known in the community today, and we don't want to embarrass anyone by calling attention to the possibility of a skeleton in the family closet. Some of the cards con tain a bare minimum of information, which in itself sometimes inspires the imagination, and others contain provocative comments, often indicating, if not the official philosophy of law enforcement at the time, at least the atti tude of the officer making the comment. We must keep in mind that information on the cards is not an official court record, and that cards mentioned for a certain year are not the only ones placed in the file that year. Th~y are the ones found in the latest purging effort. As mentioned, the files are numbered as the persons are fingerprinted, and we are now somewhere in the neighborhood of 150,000. The earliest card found in the file last year was number 45, issued on September 13,1913, the year the Department began keeping criminal history records in an orderly fashion. The suspect in that case was charged with pan dering, and was given an unspecified term of probation. Next in seniority was Number 69, who was arrested on January 7, 1914, for violation of probation, and released the same day. As often happens today, he must have been able to convince his probation officer or the judge he was deserving of another chance. Either their faith in him was justified, or he left Fresno County, for there are no further en tries on his card. In June of that year Number 149 was arrested for embezzlement and placed on probation for three years. With the only three arrestees on record during the latter half of 1913 and the first half of 1914 receiving probation, it appears there 87 must have been a very lenient judge on the criminal bench at that time. For the latter half of 1914, however, he must have been replaced by a real law and order judge. On September 13 Number 15.3 \vas sentenced to a year in the county jail for assault with a d adly weapon. Number 247, arrested November 3 for rape, was sent to San Quentin for five years, while Number 259, arrested November 17, was sen tenced to the same institution for one year for burglary. Leniency reared its head again early in 1915, when Number 326, arrested on Febru ary 17, was let off on a grand theft charge with two years probation. In April, Number 392, a juvenile, was committed to the Youth Auth ority facility at lone for violation of parole. Apparently the Youth Authority rehabilitation programs didn't always work then, either. There are subsequent entries indicating terms served at Folsom and San Quentin after he became an adult. Also in 1915, Number 533 was arrested on September 25 for robbery, with no disposition indicated, and Number T 24 HOUR TOWING REPAIR ANYWHERE & PAINTING STORAGE AVAILABLE FREE ESTIMATES lVrs t 11Jrll1l 011 t 11Jobl' ~tJOP.

Number 698, who was 22 at the time, led off 1916 by getting arrested on January 27 for stealing a hog. There is no indication of pun ishment, but whatever it was must have been effective, for there are no further entries on his card. k horse thief, Number 944, was arrested on April 12 by Sheriff H . Thorwald son himself. Sheriffs in those days weren't so burdened by paper work that they couldn't get out into the field occasionally. The good citizens of Fresno County had by that time outgrown the traditional western practice of stringing horse thieves up to the most con venient tree limb. Mr. 944 went to San Quen tin for two years. He was joined later that year by Number 826, who was arrested on May 26 for receiving stolen property and petty lar ceny, and was sentenced to one year in prison. Other alumni of the class of 1916. were Number 841, arrested on September 5 for burglary of a store and sentenced to three years in Folsom; Number 958 arrested on October 17 for attempted larceny and sen tenced to the county jail for 60 days, and Number 1033, apparently a soldier on leave or AWOL, who was arrested on Christmas Eve for burglary, and in lieu of prosecution, re turned to military jurisdiction. The army didn't straighten him out, for he died in prison in November of 1939. The first recorded arrest in 1917 was that of Number 1063, accused of sodomy. He was sentenced to San Quentin for an unspecified term, and apparently managed to stay out of trouble for many years. The next entry on his card is August 9, 1946 when, at the age of 75, he was arrested for rape. Number 1172, ar rested on April 29 for stealing a small amount of money from a young boy, did 30 days in the county jail. In November the first arrest re flecting our involvement in World War I was recorded, when Number 1325 was arrested for sedition. There is no record of a disposi tion of the case. 88 For The Finest In All Your Comp'lete Grocery Shopping Bakery: 222-3342 Grocery: 226-3244 Meat: 226-7345 In Fig Garden Village Corner of Palm & Shaw Compliments Of BAGDASARIAN FARMS GEORGE BAGDASARIAN OFFICE 486-7330 6382 E.

Shaw Avenue 226-7900 Auto theft began to be a problem in 1918, with two arrests found for that year: Number 1449 on February 9, and Number 1595 on July 15. Also arrested that year was Number 1454, on February 2, sentenced to San Quentin for shoplifting, and Number 1054, in another war-related arrest, booked on a charge of being an enemy alien, \vith no mention of disposition. Nineteen nineteen must have been a quiet year. The only entry found was that of Num ber 1949, who was arrested on September 19 and charged with sodomy. He was, according to a note on the card, "released to be cas trated." Early in 1920, even though the war had been over for more than a year, there was another war-related arrest. Number F -105 was charged with violation of wartime pro bation, a federal charge, and was sentenced by the federal court to pay a fine of $250 and serve 30 days in the Kern County jail. In June Number 2150 was arrested by the Fresno Police Department (until 1952 the police and sheriff's departments shared the criminal history records system) and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor; specifically, quoting from the card, "put white girl in Negro den." He was sentenced to six months in the county jail. The sole entry found for 1921 was for Number 2656. On December 12 he was con victed of murder, again quoting from the card, "killed Chinaman in Coalinga," and was sentenced to San Quentin. On September 25, 1922, Number 2884 was arrested and charged with violation of the State Poison Act. It was the first of several incidents of that charge we found, and at first we had some difficulty in deciding what it meant, pesticides not being a problem in those days. We finally learned that act was the forerunner of our present Health and Safety Code sections dealing with drug control. Apparently 2884's specific act wasn't par ticularly flagrant, considering how people felt about drugs in those days, for he was let off 89 with a go-day suspended sentence. The fol lowing month Number 2921 was arrested and accused of criminal syndicalism, with no fur ther information regarding the specific crim or the disposition. The final ntry for 1922 was that of Number 2944, arrested by the Fresno Police Department after he, according to the card, "robbed a Hindu," and was sentenced to San Quentin. The only entry for 1923 was a good one, Number 3202, who, in addition to hi true name, had 29 aliases. He was arrest d by local officers on October 17, at the requ t of the Oakland Police Department, and turned over to that agency on November 5. His speciality, as the number of names used would indicate, was writing bad checks. A subsequent entry indicates he was still plying his trade in the Los Angeles area in 1936. The only entry for 1924, on July 11, is some- PAINTING FIBERiGLASS SPECI'ALISTS GLASS BOB SILVA, Owner Former,ly Johnson-Waite 237-3191 2050 E. McKINLEY • FRESNO, CA 93703 HARDIN CONSTRUCTION CO. & HARDINSCAtECO. 264-4437 what confusing. The charge is "V.S.P.A.," which appears to mean "violation of the State Poison Act"; however, the identification number is F -373, indicating it was a federal charge. vVhatever the jurisdiction, the sen tence was 30 days in the county jail. A few days before Christmas in 1925, Number 3709 was arrested for investigation, and, with no indication on the card of his ever being formally charged or convicted of a crime, was sentenced to 180 days in the county jail. We're sure there must have been more to the case than is recorded on the card. No cards were found for 1926. For 1927 there were some of considerable interest. Two, Number 4151 on March 18, and Num ber 4473 on July 14, were for "failure to render aid." Apparently a law had just been enacted which was similar to the present vehicle code section requiring that a motorist coming on Golden State Ranches, Inc. N. J.

Even if an officer had occasion to enforce the present law, it is doubtful if an arrest would be made. A citation would probably be considered adequate. Also in 1927, on June 17, the first recorded arrest pertaining to prohibition was made, apparently for possession of a still. Further more, almost 50 years before "women's lib" became a well-known term, the suspect, Number 4419, was a woman. No disposition of the case is recorded. Number 4804 closed 1927 by getting himself sentenced to 11 months in the county jail for perjury. In March of 1928 another liberated woman, Number 5053, and two men with the same family name, Numbers 5049 and 5050, were arrested on two counts each of possession of an illegal stilI, again with no disposition .recorded. Not until 1929 do we get an inkling of how seriously the courts viewed that crime. Number 5867, arrested on October 18, 1929, was sentenced to four months in the county jail. In July of 1930 there was an arrest that indi cated immigration law violations in California have not always been the exclusive domain of persons from Mexico. Number 6096, arrested and held for the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service, was turned over to federal jurisdiction on August 14, and on December 13 was deported from Galveston, Texas, to his native Rumania. On a card dated May 9,1931, we found the first of several dispositions noted later, the nature of which we can only speculate about. Number 6497 was arrested for rape, and sen tenced to San Quentin on July 24. Subsequent entries indicated he was "Transf. to Hwy" on March 4, 1938, and "Disch. fr. Hiway" on October 1, 1941. Such remarks seem to indi cate that the state prison system had some type of work gangs on the public highways in those days. I was nrettv young then, but I've • 1 SUNNYSIDE MitlI·U . .

I discussed it with Mace Barnes, a retired former sergeant and Senior Identification Technician whose ten ure in the Identification Bureau dates back to the early 1940s, and he'd never heard of it either. By this time we were getting close enough to the modern era that there was not so much novelty in the entries on the cards. A few, however, are of sufficient interest to justify mention. In June of 1936 Number 9592 was arrested for rape. It must have been what we now call statutory rape, where the victim consents but is under age. In this case the sus pect managed to have the charges dismissed by the time-honored method of marrying the girl. While we won't mention family names for reasons previously stated, we occasionally found first names that evoked some interest.

Number 18862, a man of American Indian descent arrested July 4,1940, for vagrancy, was born in 1919, during the time President Wilson was trying to per suade the United States to join the League of Nations. His parents must have been staunch supporters of the president, for they named him "League of Nations." He later adopted the name "William Robert," but continued to list his true name as an alias. We found one other card with a first name honoring a war hero. The man was born in 1898, the year Admiral Dewey defeated the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay in the Spanish-American War. He was named, appropriately enough, Dewey Manila. On Christmas Eve of 1941, Number 21808 was arrested by the Firebaugh constable for adultery.

Along the same line, Number 27928 was arrested on May 11, 1946 for violation of Penal Code section 268, which makes seduction a crime. There is no record of disposition in this case, but the adulterer from Firebaugh was given a choice of paying a $50 fine or spending 25 days in jail. During World War II there were several arrests of "Zoot Suiters," the young punks who wore broad-brimmed dress hats, suit coats with padded shoulders, and trousers flared at the hips and extremely narrow at the ankle, and preyed on innocent persons in West Fresno and other similar communities in California cities.

Apparently juvenile delinquency is not a nuclear-age phenomenon. Perhaps the most interesting arrest of all those we surveyed, considering the present day controversy over smoking, was that of Number 42222, a 23-year-old female. On April 22, 1952, a generation before the Sur geon General's report that smoking may be harmful to the health, and the ensuing prop ositions on the ballot to protect non-smokers, she was arrested, fingerprinted, and booked in jail for "smoking in a prohibited place."

P.o. Box 9025. Fresno. CA 93790 94 Main Jail Division D. LAUTERS Captain Division Commander E. LIST Typist Clerk In addition to the chronic, Department wide problem of shortage of funds for ade quate manpower and necessary equipment, the Jail and Corrections Division has had to face the additional problem of inflation caus ing a drastic rise each year in the costs offood, clothing, and other supplies purchased for the inmates. Also, to a greater extent than the other divisions, it has felt the effect of higher utility and building maintenance costs. The Main Jail and the Branch Jail each has its-own budget, independent of other Depart ment units. However, the facility command ers have very little control over expenditures. State law, in the form of the Minimum Jail Standards Act, prescribes a certain level of food, housing, clothing, recreation, and medi cal care service that must be provided for jail inmates, regardless of costs. If costs rise so that budgeted funds are exhausted before the end of the fiscal year, the Board of Super visors has no choice but to provide additional funds, even if it means depriving some other important county operation of funds neces sary to carry out its mission; or, robbing Peter to pay Paul. As if the combination of a deadly inflation rate and state-mandated care level wasn't problem enough, the courts, pursuant to the instigation of an organization known as In side/Out, periodically impose additional re quirements regarding inmate treatment, with no concern for the cost to the taxpayer. Inside/Out alone would be enough of a cross for the jail staff to bear. It is composed of persons who seem convinced that all jail inmates are unjustly incarcerated, and that all jail personnel are sadistic brutes whose sole purpose in life is to make life miserable for those in their custody. In view of the fact many of its members have had considerably more experience in jails than many jail of ficers (not as employees), the organization could be expected to provide some construc tive suggestions regarding jail operation. Un fortunately, that is not the case. They have succeeded in persuading the courts to issue orders that have seriously affected the secur ity of the jail and the safety of its personnel, and have deprived the Sheriff of much of his statutory authority to operate the jail as he sees fit. H the crusaders who managed to get Prop osition 13 passed would like to do something really constructive and at the same time help ful to the taxpayer, they should sponsor an initiative that would restore to the Sheriff his authority to run the jail and hold him respon sible for the manner in which he does so, but not saddle him with a bunch of arbitrary and expensive rules and instructions which bene fit no one but the inmate, and him to a greater degree than common sense and decency call for. 95 Main Jail Division J.

McKINNEY It has been almost three years since Proposi tion 13 went into effect, and so far there has been no significant visible effect on local government services. But the day we have been dreading has arrived-the day when there is no more state bailout money avail able-the day when local government must begin to live within its means. Some very popular programs will have to be eliminated; unfortunately, not all of them of the variety referred to in the Jarvis-Gannpropaganda as "frills and fancy programs." Some very basic services will be affected, including fire pro tection and law enforcement. Whether the cuts in the two services that were supposed to be inviolate are due to improper allocation of money by those who hold the purse strings, or there simply isn't enough money to maintain an adequate level of such basic services, we shall leave for the people to decide. We who are responsible for administering law enforcement budgets have too much to do in the coming months and years to waste time in pointing fingers and assessing blame. We have to figure out ways and means to provide the best service possible with what is left to us to work with. The easiest way out, of course, would be to merely sit back, say "I told you so," and let our departments stumble along as best they can, and deteriorate into complete ineffectiveness. But, as professionals we can't do that. We realize that the voters who approved the tax cutting proposition didn't do so out of selfish ness, or because they weren't willing to pay a fair percentage of their incomes in local taxes to finance local government services. They sincerely believed the campaign promises that the resulting tax reduction would not affect basic, necessary government services, but would result only in the reduction of waste and extravagance. The public therefore doesn't deserve to hear, "I told you so," but the best service we can provide with the limited funds available, until such time as methods can be devised to overcome the difficulties imposed by Proposition 13. What, then, is our obligation? How can we, as professional law enforcement managers, continue to do an effective job with less money every year, but with salaries and.other operating costs continually rising, equipment wearing out, and a steady increase in popula tion resulting in a corresponding increase in demand for police services? First, we can do what I'm sure most of us have already done. We can admit that there was some waste and unnecessary spending in law enforcement. We can take a close look at every phase of our operation, to see what is necessary to the primary function,and what is being done simply as a matter of conveni ence, or "because it has always been done." We can carefully examine our present equip ment and our plans for additional purchases or replacement, and ask ourselves, does this piece of equipment perform a really vital function, and enhance the officer's effective ness and make his job safer? Or is it merely a fancy gadget which would be nice to have if funds were unlimited, but which we can function quite well without? Then, we can review the performance of our personnel. Are our managers and supervisors earning their salaries by use of initiative, imagination, dili gence, and common sense in seeing that their 105 subordinates perform to maximum capability and effectiveness, and that department policy and procedure are being followed? Or, are they merely serving as message carriers be tween their subordinates and their super iors, passing instructions and information dowmvard, and relaying complaints and questions upv,rard, \vith no positive action on their part to clarify or implement the instruc tions, or to solve the problems causing com plaints or questions? If any are found to be in the second category, they must be either motivated or demoted. With the civil service climate prevailing today, the latter won't be easy, but if a manger is wasting precious tax money, and can't be motivated to bring his performance up to acceptable standards, it is the department head's duty to try to get rid of him. Once the management and supervisory personnel are on the right track, they must be instructed to do the same evaluation on their subordinates. 'iV'ith funds so short, and salaries making up the major portion of the law en forcement budget, vve can't afford to keep even one employee who isn't consistently doing his or her job in an acceptable manner. But suppose all these things have been done; all operations have been streamlined to eliminate unnecessary functions; equipment retention aQd replacement plans have been carefully reviewed; and every employee from the department head to the lowest paid clerk is working at maximum effectiveness? Yet we still can't provide an acceptable level of law enforcement to the community. What then? We then have reached the point where some really progressive, perhaps even revo lutionary, thinking is in order. We must ex amine the whole concept of law enforcement procedure, developed over a period of a hundred years, and ask ourselves of every facet, is this the most effective way to do the job, or are we doing it that way simply because that's the way it's always been done? BENSON and CO. BLASTING Hardpan Blasted for Neal LangLandscaping, Orchards Fenceposts, Pools 251-0345 Chris Osborn 106 An example readily coming to mind is the traditional roles, in a typical sheriff's depart ment, oJ the patrol officer, the deputy sheriff assigned to serve civil papers, and the deputy sheriff assigned to serve warrants of arrest. The patrol officer is assigned to a geograph ical area, or beat, and responds to calls for service and makes preliminary investigation of crimes occurring in that area. When not on a call, he moves about within the beat, on the age-old theory that visibility serves as a deter rent to crime. \Vhile engaged in such routine patrol, he is likely to encounter a deputy serving routine civil papers, and another serving or attempting to serve warrants of arrest for minor traffic violations or infrac tions. The question that comes naturally to mind is, why are three officers working on routine tasks in the same area? Why can't the patrol officer serve the civil papers and warrants between calls, thus freeing the other two for more urgent duty elsewhere? The traditional answer has been that the patrol officer may be so busy answering calls that he won't have time for other duties, or that if he does, it may detract from the time or attention he can give his primary assignment. But is that a valid answer'? Service of most routine civil pro cesses consists of handing the recipient a piece of paper and signing a form certifying that it ,vas handed to him. Routine traffic warrants seldom are served by actual arrest; the subject is usually cited to appear at the department at a certain time, to be taken directly to court. So why, then, couldn't such jobs be handled by a patrol officer without its seriously affecting his effectiveness in patrol duty? In searching for tpe persons to be served, he'd still be moving about the area, maintaining visibility. Even if he did have to make an arrest on a warrant and leave his beat for booking, it would take him away for no longer than an arrest made pursuant to a suspect being caught in the act of committing a crime, which happens routinely in patrol duty.

This is not to be construed as an indication that such a plan will be implemented or an endorsement of the possibility. There may be other factors not considered here that would preclude such a change in procedure. It is presented simply as an example of how tradi tion-bound we have become in our law en forcement procedures, and how we must be willing to take a close look at each one, to see if we can find a better and more effective way. Another area for similar examination is detective division procedure. In most med ium sized departments, large enough for a detective division but not large enough to have a detective unit for each shift, detectives traditionally work at a regular day shift. This policy was not adopted to make it easier for the detective, but because the courts, the district attorney, and other official agencies with whom detectives frequently do business are open only in the daytime, and because in most instances it is easier to contact witnesses and take care of other routine investigative matters than at night. When a crime is reported, a patrol officer, or a night detective who is essentially a plainclothes patrol of ficer, makes the preliminary investigation and prepares the report. The next day the reports are screened by detective division supervisors and assigned to individual detectives for follow-up investigation. Only in the event of a major crime, usually a homicide, is an off duty detective called out at night or on a weekend to start the investigation at the crime scene. This system has worked quite well for a number of years, but is it the best system available? Budgetary considerations aside, there are reasons to question its effectiveness today. For one thing, the courts have made it much more difficult to obtain a conviction on circumstantial evidence, and criminals are well aware of that. The traditional method of receiving a typewritten report hours or days after the crime is committed, and attempting to identify, apprehend, and convict the-sus pect via the usual investigative techniques is not nearly as effective as it once was. The detective may amass more than enough evi dence to prove guilt, but getting that evidence before the jury is another matter. Perhaps it's time, then, to drastically re vamp the investigative system, and put more emphasis on attempting to catch the criminal • ABRASIVES • HACKSAW BLADES • BOLTS • BRASS FITTINGS • BROOMS • BRUSHES • CAP CREWS • CHAIN • CHEMICALS • CLAMPS • CLIPS • COTTER PINS • COPPER TUBING • DRILL & BITS • PINS • DROP CORDS • RINGS • PIPE FITTINGS• FLIES • FLASHERS • RIVETS • FUSES • SCREWS • GREASE FITTINGS • TAPE • METRIC FASTENERS • TOOLS • HOSE • WASHERS • HOSE FITTINGS • WIRE • KEYSTOCK • WIRE TERMINALS • LIGHTS • WOODRUFF KEYS • NUTS • WIRE ROPE • SPECIALTY ITEMS Howard 'Harmon, Owner 1940 EAST HOME FRESNO, CA 93703 OFFICE (209) 233-4157 "DEDICATED TO SERVICE" 1'09 in the act, rather than sitting passively by until he commits the crime and leaves the scene, then beginning our efforts to identify him, apprehend him, and prove his guilt. For any such plan to be effective, some revolutionary thinking regarding basic detective proce dures wiJ] have to be accepted, by the people directly involved, and by the public. There may be more detectives working night~ and weekends. New investigative techniques wiJ] have to be developed and refined. Many routine cases on which there is little on which to base a fo]]ow-up investigation won't be worked, for after assigning a sufficient num ber of detectives to the newly developed positive approach to criminal investigation, there won't be enough officers to fol1ow up on a]] cases reported. But in the long run, there should be a larger percentage of criminals apprehended and convicted, with a corres ponding decrease in the overa]] crime rate.

The budget restraints imposed by Proposition 13 were so drastic that there simply may not be money available for adequate law enforce ment, even if it is given top priority. Further more, because local government budgets are contro]]ed by elected legislative bodies and their appomtees, there is no assurance law enforcement will be given a fair share, even if adequate funds would be available if proper ly allocated. Therefore, it may become neces sary, sometime in the future, to consider supplemental financing for law enforcement. This would be permissible under the pro visions of Proposition 13, with a special tax that would provide funds to be used exclu sively for law enforcement, with no possibil ity that they could be diverted to other uses. Whether or not such a tax will become neces essary depends on how money available through regular taxing procedures is al1o cated.

A COOK'S COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE 160 NORTH BROADWAY -FRESNO Phone 237-1111 . The taxpayer must understand that the money issue, critical as it is, is not the most critical problem facing law enforcement to day. Our criminal justice system is so weight ed in favor of the criminal that it would be impossible for us to effectively fight crime, no matter how much money we had available, or how innovative or revolutionary our thinking. We simply must do something to reverse that trend, even if it requires a ballot initiative as radical and far-reaching as Proposition 13, to restore to the law abiding citizen his right to protection from the criminal, and to require that the criminal be held accountable for his crimes. By this we don't mean measures that would deprive those suspected or accused of crime of their constitutional rights, or result in the conviction of those who may be innocent. Rather, we simply want to require the courts to quit stretching and exaggerating those rights to the extent that obviously guilty per sons are freed on technicalities having no 40 YEARS IN FRESNO SERVING THE COMMUNITY WITH TRUCK LINES, INC.

MYERS PUMPS 209/485-2610 111 bearing on guilt or innocence. The constitu tional limitations on means and methods of gathering evidence were devised and im posed to protect the innocent person from undue harassment and humiliation; not to protect the guilty from conviction and pun ishment. Therefore, if an officer violates one of those principles, and an innocent person is thus embarrassed or humiliated, let the officer be duly punished. But if his act produces evi dence to prove guilt, no harm has been done to any innocent person. So why should the guilty person go free simply because the officer's act in gathering the evidence would have embarrassed or humiliated him had he been innocent? Now, of course, we're not recommending that law enforcement be permitted to engage in "fishing expeditions" and go around search ing people's houses or otherwise invading their privacy. The officer must know he will be held accountable for his actions if they do result in embarrassment or humiliation to an COMPLIMENTS OF CURRIE BROS., INC.

The rules must be applied with common sense. For an example of lack of common sense in application, consider the recent case of a guilty marijuana cultivator being turned loose because the arrest had been made on the basis of an officer peeking through a crack in his fence and observing the growing plants. The judge ruled that the officer's action was an invasion of the suspect's privacy, and this invalidated the evidence against him. Now let's look at the case from a common sense point of view. Officers obviously don't habitually or routinely wander up and down alleys peeking through cracks in fences, on the hope of obtaining evidence of some illicit activity. The officer in this case must have had some indication that marijuana was being grown in the yard, or other good reason to look through the fence, or he wouldn't have done so. He should have thus had the assur ance he could check out whatever his sus picion may have been based on, without en dangering his case if his suspicions proved to be valid. At the same time, he should have known he was taking a chance. Had he not seen marijuana growing or being use, but instead saw only the suspect's wife or daugh ter sunbathing in the nude, he should have expected to subject to arrest as a peeping Tom, for that would have been an inexcusable ~nvasion of privacy. Such a simple provision, that the officer will be held accountable if his suspicions are wrong and an innocent person is embarrassed VALLEY PARCEL SERVICE /~IR FREIGHT ,,"""=====:::::.......

It should not be necessary to add the provision that in cases where it would have been embarrassing to the guilty person had he in fact been innocent, he is automati cally immune from prosecution. What the courts seem to be saying is, "Anything goes, as long as you don't get caught in the act," at the same time imposing rules on the officer that make it virtually impossible to legally catch a criminal in the act. In summary, what it all boils down to is that we can have whatever level of law enforce ment we want, in spite of Proposition 13 and current court philosophy. Pressure can be brought to bear on legislative bodies to per suade them to provide adequate funds for law enforcement, and on law enforcement ad ministrators to see that those funds are wisely spent. If that doesn't produce the desired result, a special tax can be provided exclusive ly for law enforcement financing. And laws can be enacted to restore the criminal justice system to its intended purpose and desired level of effectiveness. In spite of all recent indications to the contrary, we still have a government by and for the people. Landscaping & 1 Sprinkler Contractors, Inc. 170 N.

Hwy. 99 Fresno Patrol Division The effect of Proposition 13 on Patrol Divi sion operations has been compounded by the drastic increase in gasoline prices. That is true of all units using automobiles, but nowhere is it being felt so severely as in the Patrol Divi sion , where, because of the size of the county, an astronomical number of miles are driven each year. A few years ago a study was made by the Topeka Police Department that cast doubt on the effectiveness of routine patrol. Part of the city was patrolled as usual, with units on the . move in assigned beats when not on calls, on the traditional theory that visibility serves as a crime deterrent. In other sectors no patrolling was done; units moved only in response to calls. The results appeared initially to indicate that patrol did not help; there was little differ ence in the crime rate in the two areas. However, further study indicated the study had not been valid; several pertinent factors had not been taken into account. Therefore, at this point there is no concrete information to support any theory that routine patrol is a waste of money. Purchase price of automobiles has also become a major budget consideration. More fuel efficient vehicles, which also would have a lower purchase price, have been consid ered, but at least at the present state of auto motive engineering, that would mean a con siderably smaller car, which would not be as effective in responding to emergency situ a A-1 INSULATION & FENCE CO. Specializing in Quality Cellulose Home Insulation And Masonry Fencing 6766 E Olive, Fresno 251-6219 tions, or as safe for the officer. There seems to be no choice then, but to continue paying the price, even if at the expense of other Depart ment programs. The Patrol Division is the first line of offense and defense against the crimi nal element, and the vehicles must stay on the road. Manpower, of course, is another problem, there having been no increase in Division strength for several years, or none planned in the future under current budget provisions. There is little that can be done to streamline patrol acti vi ty. This is a big county, and 'a lot of time is unavoidably spent in just traveling to the scene of a call. Once there, there are certain actions, dictated by the situation, that must be taken, and they usually can't be rushed. The computer-aided dispatch system, which has done a great deal to expedite calls and reduce response time, has reached capac ity and is in need of some expensive updating. There is no doubt the expenditure would be a worthwhile investment, but there may simply be no funds available. We may thus be placed in a position similar to the Cadillac owner who has to leave his car in his garage and ride the bus because he can't afford a minor repair. Overall, the future for Patrol Division operations is not rosy, but its commander, his staff, and the personnel will continue to do the best they can with what they have to work with.

The Review and the Relief Association wish each of the retired members many years of happy, healthy enioyment of the fruits of their dedicated labor. Frances Lorena Hurley retired late in 1980 after 25 years in the service of Fresno County. She was born in Clyde, Texas, at tended schools in Pecos, Texas, and went to work for the county as a switch board operator in 1955. In 1972, when the city and county telephone systems were combined into the Centrex system, the central answering point was placed in the Sheriff's Department, and Lorena thus became a Department member. In her new assignment she answered the telephone, relayed calls to the appropriate city or county agency, and dispensed all types of information to callers regarding county and city government functions. She also had a key role in building security, for as receptionist an additional duty was to register visitors, make sure they had proper identification and reason to enter the building, and check them in and out. She handled all those responsibilities in a manner that will make her vacancy not easy to fill. SQUAW VALLEY INDIAN TRADING CENTER ACE-HI FEEDS GAS • GROCERIES • GIFTS Lupe Patton, a steno grapher-secretary in the Civil Section, retired in September with 33 years service.

He was born in Oklahoma, came to California as a youngster, and graduat ed from Caruthers High School. He served in the U.S. Army from 1944 to 1946, participating in the last few months of com bat in Europe, and then going to Japan in the Army of Occupation. He worked for five years for Standard Stations Inc. after dis charge, and joined the Department in 1951. He had the u$ual assignments to the jail, bail iff, patrol, and detective, and was promoted to sergeant in 1960. After a year and a half as a patrol sergeant, he was assigned as supervisor of the Warrant and Fugitive Detail, where he remained until promoted to lieutenant in 1965. As a lieutenant Gene was a patrol watch commander and, having been previously active in search and rescue, was appointed Director of Operations for the Search and Rescue Team, an extra duty post he held from 1965 until 1969, when he was transferred to the Records and Identification Division as Assistant Division Commander and Opera tions Officer. In 1964 he had been appointed liaison officer to the Sheriff's Air Squadron, a position he held for 16 years, longer than any other liaison officer in the history of the unit. Gene was promoted to captain in 1971, and served as commander of the Security Divi sion, as the Main Jail and the Industrial Farm (now the Branch Jail) were then designated, until 1975. In August of that year he assumed command of the Patrol Division, served in that capacity for a year, then was made com mander of the Services Division, substantially the former Records and Identification. In January of 1978 he was assigned as Detective Division commander, and served there until October of 1979. He then was given com mand of the Administration Division, again 129 the old Records and Identification Division, \vith other units added due to Proposition 13 induced reorganization. He held that post until retirement. DetectiveClaude E. Hoy retired on February 26, 1981, after 23 years of service, including three years as a reserve dep uty. He was born in Chi cago, attended the Grace Street Grammar School and then Steinmetz High .-School in that city, and served in the U.S. Army from 1954 to 1956. He joined the Department as a Patrol Reserve officer in 1958, and was appointed a regular deputy sheriff in July of 1959. During his career Claude saw duty as a jailer, bailiff, patrolman, and detective. He was active in search and rescue for several years. In 1964 he was nominated for the Award of Valor presented annually by the California Peace Officers Association, for the way he and another officer handled a very delicate and hazardous situation involving a juvenile armed with a loaded shotgun and threatening to use it. He served for a time as a detective in the Intelligence Detail, then in the Detective Div ision. He worked burglaries for a while, and at the time of retirement had been assigned to the Checks and Fraud Detail for a couple of years. Claude developed an intense interest in aviation a few years ago, and now has a com mercial pilot's license with instrument rating and an instructor's certificate. It was that interest that led to his appointment as assistant liaison officer to the Sheriff's Air Squadron, a post he held for the last several years of his career. He plans to make a second career of teaching flying, and other phases of the private aviation field. I I I & M IRRIGATION CO.

Fine, Suite 102, Fresno, CA 93727 • 251-4848 130 Criminologist Edward F. Lamb retired on March 26, 1981, with 22 years service. He was born in Galveston, Texas, and, because his father was a member of the U.S. Air Force, he did a lot of traveling during his early years. He attended ele mentary schools in Gal veston; Shreveport, Louisiana; Los Altos and San Rafael in California; Portland, Oregon; and, after the family settled in Fresno, Wash ington Junior High and Fresno High. He also attended Fresno City College and Fresno State. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1944 to 1946, and joined the Sheriff's Department in 1959. After the normal progression through the jail, court, and patrol, Ed decided to special ize in crime scene search and evidence proc essing, and he went to the Technical Services Section of the Records and Identification Division, where he served for the remainder of his career. Before the establishment of the Crime Lab, when criminologists processed most evidence themselves, Ed became an expert in tool mark and ballistics comparison. Many investigations were brought to a suc cessful conclusion as a result of his skill in that science. Ed was also an active and capable member of the Search and Rescue Team for several years, in the days when team personnel were drawn from all divisions. Assistant Sheriff WiJliam R. Young also retired on March 26, 1981, after 29 years in law enforce ment. He was born in the Los Angeles area, moved to Reedley as a child, and attended schools there, including Reedley Junior College. He worked for the California Division 131 of Forestry for a short time after high school, and served in Korea in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1950 and 1951. He entered law enforcement as a member of the Reedley Police Depart ment in 1952. In March of 1955 he joined the Sheriffs Department. Bill was successively a jail officer, bailiff, and patrol officer, and was promoted to sergeant in 1960. He served as a patrol ser geant for several years, then was made field supervisor of the Vice Squad. He became involved in search and rescue in the late fif ties, and was Field Supervisor of Search and Rescue Operations from 1965 until 1969. During that time he assisted in the formation of the well-organized Search and Rescue Team which became well-known throughout the state. Bill returned to the Patrol Division upon promotion to lieutenant in 1969, and later that year became Director of Operations for the Search and Rescue Team. He held that assign ment until he was promoted to captain in 1972, and then, as commander of the Patrol Division, became administrative head of search and rescue. For most of his search and rescue involvement, he served as liaison officer to the Sheriff's Jeep Rescue Unit, and deserves much of the credit for the dedication and effectiveness of that auxiliary. In 1975 Bill was promoted to Assistant Sheriff. His first assignment in that rank was as commander of the Administrative Services Bureau, which included the Jail, Civil, and Services Divisions. When the Jail and Branch J ail became a separate bureau in 1976, Bill was assigned as commander of the Field Opera tions Bureau, consisting of the Patrol and Detective Divisions. He held that post until early 1978, when he was again assigned to command the Administrative Services Bu~ reau. In 1980 he was transferred to command of the Jail and Corrections Bureau, an assign ment he held at the time of retirement. Compliments of Swimming Pool Equipment Distributors Don Madsen 1349 N.

Kings Canyon Road 255-8351 132 Auxiliary Units Several factors in recent years have had considerable effect on the Department's utili zation of auxiliary officers. The primary fac tor is new legislation pertaining to training standards for reserve officers who will be assigned to duty involving the exertion of police authority. This made duty with an auxiliary unit considerably less attractive to many citizens, for before they can be assigned to duty, they must participate in an extensive training program on their own time. It has also placed drastic limitations on the type of duty to which an auxiliary officer can be assigned. Another factor is the availability of the California Highway Patrol helicopter for as sistance in search and rescue. This is a definite advantage to the Department, and has saved countless man hours that otherwise would have been expended in searches by ground units and fixed wing aircraft. However, it has also resulted in less activity for the three units organized specifically for search and rescue duty: the Air Squadron, the Jeep Rescue Unit, and the Sheriffs Posse. To those auxiliary officers who have re mained faithful in spite of these factors, the Department and the community owe a spec ial vote of thanks, and the assurance that there will always be a need for their services.

HOME FRESNO 136 Around The County What's New With Our Police Departments In this, our 24th year of publication, we still haven't found a completely satisfactory solu tion to the problem of obtaining sufficient information for an interesting, informative article about each police department in the county. We know our readers in each com munity like to see something about their own departments, and because the Sheriff's De partment works so closely with all of them, we feel their activities should be a part of any review of law enforcement in the county. The chiefs and their personnel are always cooper ative, but we realize it may be an imposition to ask that someone in the department take the time to prepare an article, or that the personnel be assembled for a group photo graph. We have also found a universal feeling of modesty; an officer may be able to write a clear, concise, comprehensive report of an investigation he has conducted, but when asked to write an article for publication, he doesn't feel qualified. Last year we tried, as an experiment, having the journalism classes of the various high schools prepare articles about their respective police agencies. We hoped thus to accomplish a secondary goal of helping to establish great er rapport between the departments and the young people of the communities. Unfortun ately, the plan didn't inspire the enthusiasm we'd hoped for; only two schools agreed to participate. While they did a creditable job, it was obvious that this plan could be a success onIy if someone from the Review staff could work closely with the students and guide them in the acquisition and preparation of material. This year we again tried something new. Several months before publication deadline, each chief of police was contacted by mail and advised that if he didn't prefer to prepare the material for his department, or have it done, a Review representative would contact him personally by appointment, obtain suffi cient information for an article, and, if he so desired, take a group photograph of his department personnel. Most of the chiefs expressed a desire to have the Review representative prepare the article, but, with two exceptions, agreed to furnish their own photographs. The following articles, unless otherwise indicated, were written by the Review. In instances where there is no photo of department personnel, it is because the department's work load and related factors simply did not permit the assembling of the entire department, or speci fic groups, within the allowable time. 'We hope that next year this problem can be overcome. As we traveled around to the various cities, visiting some of them for the first time in several years, we were amazed at the number that have new police facilities, new chiefs, or both. A new chief is not a rarity in a small city, of course, but a new police building is, partic ularly in this time of great concern over budget priorities. The various city councils that have provided adequate facilities for their police departments are to be congratu lated on their foresight.

SHELBY COX During the past year there have been many changes in the operation and administration of the Clovis Police Department. Chief Thomas W. Higgason retired in July 1980, after having served the Department for 33 years, 24 of them as chief of police. Gerald T. Galvin, former chief of the Marina Police Department, was hired as chief of police in November 1980. One of the first modifica tions made by the new chief was to develop four divisions within the Department, adding two main divisions and allowing the chief direct with four division commanders as opposed to two under the old system. The new divisions are: Patrol, Investigation, Ad ministration, and Services. Other welcome changes affecting the com munity were the re-establishment of the Department's School Resource Program, the "beefing up" of the Police Explorer Post, and strong emphasis being placed on the Depart ment's Crime Prevention Program in the areas of the prevention of crime and juvenile delinquency. Enforcement changes have included the development of a Special Enforcement Sec tion (SES) concerning drug and narcotics violations, the initiation of a "Driving Under the Influence" program (DUI), and the per formance of an analysis of crime trends in the city to redistribute "beats" as needed to handle the peak hours and locations of crime in the city. The DUI program began with grant fund ing from the Office of Traffic Safety on December 1, 1980. There are two officers assigned to DUI enforcement and two patrol vehicles for their use. During the first three months of the program, there was a 50 percent decline in nighttime "hit and run" accidents and a 200 percent increase in drunk driving arrests for the same period of time. The deployment of personnel and focus on patrol beats allowed by the new crime analy sis system appears to be a great improvement in meeting the Department patrol needs and assisting the community in the prevention of crime. On April 16, 1980, the Department added the position of Police Specialist, a ."two stripe" program. Eleven officers were pro moted from police officer to police specialist. They are charged with the job of training new officers and may act in a supervisory capacity in the absence of a sergeant. The Department's eight new patrol vehicles were given a new design and proudly display blue striping with gold trim. The Depart ment's Class "A" uniform will now include a navy blue "trooper" style hat. Each year the Department "goes western" during the Clovis Rodeo weekend, the last weekend in April. The 1981 rodeo weekend was a tremendous success, with more than 30,000 spectators at the two-and-one-half hour parade held on Saturday, April 25 and about 10,000 people attending the rodeo on each of the two days (Saturday and Sunday). The City of Clovis continues to maintain its "western way of life," even though it is now becoming a moderate sized city. The Clovis Police Department now em ploys a total of 61 full-time employees, 48 of whom are sworn peace officers, fucluding: chief, two captains, three lieutenants, seven sergeants, eleven specialists, and twenty-four 139 officers. The Department has also been re cruiting to build up its reserve officer unit to thirty-five reserve officers. On May 7 and 8, 1981, all supervisory / management personnel attended a Team Building Workshop to assist in bringing about a better understanding of how to work to gether to reach the Department's goals. The "New Era" for the Clovis Police Department reflects a progressive, active Department ready to meet the needs of a growing modern city. Left to right: Captain G. Pishione, Lt. J. McGaughy, Lt. D.

Captain James Henry was appointed Chief of Police after serving as acting chief since January 4, when Chief Kay Holloway was killed in a ficers. private plane crash 20 miles east of Coalinga, while returning from a meeting in Sacramen to. Also killed was her husband, CHP officer Ray Holloway. Chief Holloway's death came at a time when the police department was in the process of making several changes in training and career development for all of During Henry's tenure as acting chief, he "took the bull by the horns" and guided the department through a difficult period and transition. The officers supported Chief Hen ry and the true meaning of "police brother hood" was quite evident. As a result of Henry's advancement to chief, two members of the department also received promotions. Sergeant George Morris filled the vacancy of captain and Bob Ingersoll joined Sergeant Mike Keenan as a patrol sergeant. Like most small police departments, Coalinga has lost several employees to better paying agencies. Seven police officers have found employment elsewhere. The chief instituted strict selection pro cedures for the vacant positions, and the department has been fortunate in finding qualified applicants who share his goal of building an excellent and professional depart ment. The members of the department have voiced strong support for the chief, and look to the future with optimism. Among future plans for the department will be the formation of an Emergency Response 145 Coalinga Police Department "To Protect and Serve" By SGT. BOB INGERSOLL Team, consisting of a five-man team to handle incidents to include, but not be limited to, barricaded suspects, hostage situations, stake outs and raid details. Other plans include continued training in all aspects of law en forcement, upgrading and replacement of equipment and the advancement of all re serve officers to level II. The members of the Coalinga Police De partment have a strong desire to enjoy the respect that is afforded a well-respected law enforcement agency. That desire, coupled with a willingness to put forth a hundred percent effort in the application of their duties has sometimes gone unnoticed by the com munity they serve. It should be evident to all concerned, namely the community, that the members of the Coalinga Police Department have but one goal in mind, "to protect and serve." The Coalinga Police Department is well on its way to becoming the most respected smaU agency in Fresno County, one that is accepted by the community it serves, and one that invokes a sense of pride among its officers.

That is quite an accomplishment for a chief of police in a small city, where in most instances sen'ice is at the pleasure of the city council, with no civil service protection whatsoever. Perhaps Chief Manes has been able to attain that enviable distinction because of his old-fashioned ap proach to his responsibilities. He still wears a uniform and works a regular shift in a patrol car, delegating some of the paper work to qualified subordinates, and doing that which must have his personal attention when it is quiet on the streets. His comment in that regard was, ''I'd rather wear a uniform and work a shift myself, and use the money thus saved to give the other officers better salaries, than to wear a suit and sit behind a desk all day." How long Chief Manes will be able to maintain such a philosophy is questionable. Those who haven't visited Firebaugh for several years and think of it as merely another small farming town, hot and dusty in the summer and cold and muddy in the winter, with no prospects for improvement, would be astonished to see it now. The city probably has the most ambitious planning program, and prospects for attaining its goals, of any D. T. LOCKE RANCH Bass Ave. -Box 126 659-2517 Firebaugh city of comparable size in the state. Recent annexation has already greatly increased the geographical area. Within the territory thus added to the city, there will be several new housing developments, including one near the San Joaquin River which will feature luxury homes built around a lake and golf course. Efforts are being made to attract new in dustry, and a slum clearance-urban renewal program is well under way in the older sections of the city. Such growth, of course, will add to the need for police protection, and plans have· been made to turn the entire present city hall building over to the police department, in anticipation of a substantial increase in per sonnel and a resulting need for more floor space. A significant increase in the size of the department, with all the added problems a department in a growing, thriving city must face, will naturally mean more paper work. When we visit Chief Manes in a few years, we are likely to find him necessarily wearing a suit and sitting behind a desk. But we predict that he will always find some time to spend on the street, and that he will never lose touch with the citizens and his personal interest in their problems-the quality which has made him such a succe~sful chief of police for so many years.

Lassen Ave. 945-2362 Huron The Huron Police Department does not have a new building, although the need for one is urgent. The department is still operat ing from the tiny concrete block building where they've been since the city \vas incor porated. From there they serve a year-round population of 2,750, which doubles for three or four months during the melon and harvest seasons. The department does have a new chief in Oscar Gongora, who replaced Primo Orosco when he retired last year. Chief Gongora rose quickly through the ranks of the department, having been a member for only six years, with no previous experience as a regular peace officer. He attributes his fast advancement to some college training in, and a penchant for, staff work, which former Chief Orosco didn't like, and therefore delegated to him. In spite of the cramped quarters, the department has an active youth program, WOOLF FARMING CO., INC. P.O. BOX 215 HURON with virtually every officer involved in some way, such as coaching Little League, basket ball teams, and overseeing the department's still-active motor bike program, which was covered in the 1978 edition. The department's dedication to community service was indi cated by an incident encountered on our visit to the city to obtain information for this article. School had just been dismissed for the day, and the department's captain was ob served personally escorting young children across a busy intersection. Not something one is 1ikely to see in a large department. Chief Gongora states there is hope for a new building sometime in the near future. Other major projects considered more im portant will be paid for soon, and funds should be available for the long-needed new building. Perhaps by next year we can report that the project has at least been started. The Huron police station is not the comparatively large building in the foreground, but the tiny one in the center.

Chief Harold Grant succeeded in getting the Kerman Police Department hooked up to the statewide CLETS system and CLEMARS radio system, which greatly updated the operation and efficiency of the Kerman Po lice. The new 1980 Kerman Police patrol ve hicles exhibited a new image with a white and navy blue design which was followed later by other police agencies in the valley. With the new equipment and new image projected by the Kerman Police, Chief Har old Grant strived to make crime prevention BySGT.MANUELAMPARANO and community involvement a top priority among his officers. The end results were rewarding as the City of Kerman enjoyed a low crime rate for 1980, reduced in half compared to the decade of the seventies. The low crime rate can be attributed to the reorganization of the Kerman Police Depart ment by Chief Grant, resulting in an effective crime fighting force. At the end of 1980 the Kerman Police De partment had more criminal arrests, convic tions and property recovery rate than for any previous year. Chief Grant has now set a goal for the Kerman Police Department that the Kerman Police will be second to none when it comes to law enforcement. Left to right: Front Row, Explorer C.

KERMAN, CALIFORNIA 158 Kingsburg Police Department "Accent on Prog'ress" The Kingsburg Police Department has a new facility and a chief who, while not exactly new, having been on the job for three or four years, has brought some new, progressive ideas to the Department. Before coming to Kingsburg, Chief Myron Galchutt was a member of the Gardena Police Department in southern California, then spent some time as a sergeant on the Napa Police Department. In his experience in the larger departments he gained considerable expertise in budget con trol and how to provide the best level of police protection for the money available. He is attempting to incorporate those principles into the Kingsburg operation, on the theory that even though the initial investment may require an increase in the present budget, it will payoff in the long run in terms of better service to the community. Included in his plans are an additional ve hicle, and a salary increase for his personnel, to put them on a par with other departments of similar size in central California. When a department's salary ranges are below others, of course, there are two choices: settle for second-rate personnel, or serve as a training Van Beurden, Wigh and Associates INSURANCE SERVICES, INC.

There had been no major crimes in the city for many months; the overall crime situation was under control; the flooding that had been a serious problem each winter for the Depart ment and the city for several years had been eliminated by proper drainage facilities in the adjacent farming area. We told him his very lack of serious prob lems was in itself a newsworthy item, particu larly if he could tell how he had accomplished it through some revolutionary law enforce ment program or procedure. He said there was no magic involved, just good routine police work. We agreed there wasn't a great deal we could say about that, and told him we'd take a look around town anyway. After a tour of the older section and the business district, we drove across the railroad tracks into what used to be known as East Mendota, and realized immediately we'd found our story. The area was annexed to the city just a few years ago, and prior to that it was the source of one of the worst crime control problems the Sheriff's Department had outside the Fresno metropolitan area. It was our first visit to East Mendota since its annexation. We remembered it as a con glomeration of substandard (to be charitable) dwellings and ramshackle businesses, mostly bars, pool halls, and small grocery stores, on streets that were either extremely muddy or dusty, depending on the season. It was a place where poverty, filth, robbery, assault, prosti- These shacks, now unoccupied, and some of the few still standing, are similar to what used to serve as residences in most all of East Mendota. These businesses, now closed, are scenes of many crimes and criminal contacts in the East Mendota of yesterday. 161 tution, and narcotics were a way of life. The Sheriff's Department couldn't station an of ficer there, or patrol it frequently enough to control crime, so about the only time the area .8/ 1_ . got any police attention was when the vice squad made a raid, or officers went there in response to a call or on an investigation. vVe were pleasantly surprised at the con trast between the old East Mendota and the new. Anyone who'd never seen it as it was would find it difficult to believe the degree of improvement. Chief Sanchez and his depart ment certainly deserve a great deal of the credit for the way the area has been made a decent place to live, as the photos indicate. 11-J-] • ....~l _~___ Chief Sanchez offered no specific explanation for his enviable record of crime control in Mendota, but perhaps his extensive training in police proce dures and administration could have something to do with it. These are diplomas and certificates of completion from schools he has attended. BEITER BUY MARKET 10777 E. Morro St. P.O . BOl( DEL REV 185 DEL REV PACKING CO.

It has been several years since the department had a permanent chief for a long enough period to establish a program and provide proper leadership. Until recently, John C. Armenta had served capably as acting chief, following the departure of Ralph Garcia several months ago. Upon his resignation in March, Sergeant Pete Lopez, who just two years ago had been in the department's reserve program, as sumed command in an acting capacity until a regular chief can be recruited and appointed. In spite of a situation that could be expected to result in a critical morale problem, such does not appear to be the case. On the day we contacted the department, Acting Chief Lo pez had nearly all his personnel assembled for a photograph. Many of them no doubt had had to don their uniforms and come in on their own time; yet there was no griping or com plaining. Everyone appeared to be in good spirits, exhibited a professional attitude, and it appeared to be a well-disciplined, properly motivated, dedicated group.

Parks. 163 problems, the department has managed to maintain a progressive attitude in its approach to duty. A good example is its interest in the youth of the community, recognizing that the youngster who can develop a rapport with and an understanding of law enforcement's purposes and problems today is likely to be a law-abiding citizen tomorrow. The depart ment stays in touch with the young people through the School Resources Program which many larger departments feel they can no longer afford, and through a Police Cadet program. That the rapport thus established is genuine and the cost a good investment was indicated by two things noted on our visit. When we were outside preparing for the photograph a group of young people ap proached and conversed with Acting Chief Lopez in a friendly, respectful manner. A drive around town later revealed very few instances of graffiti on walls, or other van dalism so prevalent in some communities. The department seems to be functioning so well under Sgt. Lopez's leadership, perhaps the city council should make him their duly appointed, permanent chief of police. Orange Cove's police station, the left portion of the building, is not fancy, but it is new and well planned and laid out. The larger portion houses the fire de partment.

Their pride in that endeavor is understandable, for two reasons. Their chief, Forrest Brown, came up through the ranks, is a certified dog handler himself, and has been actively involved in the program since its inception. Secondly, the department prob ably utilizes dogs to a greater extent and .advantage than any department of similar size in the state or nation. Half of its officers are certified handlers and have dogs with whom they regularly work. Lieutenant Ken Stafford, who is in charge of the program, provided so much material it would be impossible to cover it all in the space available. Much of it would be repetitious anyway, for there has b een a great deal of publicity about police K-9 programs in recent • years. Most of us have a good general knowl edge of a trained dog's capability. In exam ining the material, therefore, we looked for little known but interesting bits of informa tion that might tend to help the reader better understand and appreciate the numerous advantages of a K-9 program. One thing not previously known that we learned is that the use of dogs in police work is not new. Everyone knows they've been used for centuries for hunting and for herding sheep, but it is not generally known that they were used in medieval England to hunt poachers on the royal game preserves, and that the town constables of Europe were accompanied by dogs when making their rounds at night. In the early 1900s Germany Lt. Ken Stafford's teammate, Shotgun. initiated the first formal program for training and utilizing dogs for police work, and England followed suit in the 1930s. Several large American cities tried dog programs early in this century, among them New York, Detroit, Berkeley, and Portland, but with little success. In 1957 Baltimore established the first successful K-9 program, and by 1977 had a unit of 61 animals. Washington, D.C. now has over a hundred dogs on the street, and at last count there were about a hundred depart ments in the country with some type of K-9 program. The German Shepherd is the breed most widely used, and has always been considered the most adaptable. In recent years the Doberman Pinscher has shown great poten tial, and many are now in service. ·It is gener ally considered that the male performs much better than the female, with the few females 166 that have been successful regarded as excep tions to the rule. (So far, there has been no threat of a class action suit by the feminist movement to require equal employment op portunity for females, or an organized pro test of the requirement that when a female is accepted for police duty, she mustbespayed.) There are no kennels breeding dogs speci fically for police sen1ice. They are acquired by the officers who own and work with them in a variety of ways. Some are raised from Shadow, who works with Officer Louie Moraga. understanding and acceptance of his spouse, his children, and his landlord; and be willing to give up other pets if their presence causes a conflict. He must possess the personal traits of maturity, a sense of responsibility, patience, and a sincere dedication to and interest in the program. Dogs entering the program must be from 12 to 28 months old, and be certified by a veterinarian to be in excellent health, but not every dog meeting those qualifications is accepted. The prospective K-9 is given a preliminary examination to determine his potential for success. The test is designed to measure his friendliness, alertness, courage and aggressiveness, steadiness, and intelli gence. EAST REEDLEY STORE A COMPLETE GENERAL STORE 22010 E.

He is taught to obey, to attack on command, to protect his master, to search a building, guard a prisoner, jump and climb obstacles, tracking, and re trieving. Anywhere along the way he can be "washed out" by the master handler in charge of training. If he successfully completes the course and passes the final examination, he is awarded a diploma known as the "Certificate of Field Readiness." Officer Terry Regan's partner, Ripper, lives up to his name only when circumstances so dictate, as indicated by his genial expression. ~. FARMERS INSURANCE "'~-GROUP Arvi E.

It teaches him to rely on his handler for directions, or, if the handler is unable to give directions, to act according to the situation as he sees it. You may see a dog, in the presence of his handler, goodnaturedly allowing peo ple to pet and pat him. But if later you see the same dog alone in a parked patrol car, and the officer has forgotten to roll up the window, don't reach in to pet him. If you should happen upon a scene where an officer has been hurt, the dog is nearby, and the officer is unable to give the dog commands, don't rush to the officer's aid. The dog may think you mean to cause further harm. Instead, try to coax the dog into the car so you can shut the door and confine him. If that fails, notify the police even if you have to leave the scene to do so. It seems a heartless thing to do, but there's no point in two of you lying helpless on the ground.

Box 938, Reedley, CA 93654 Because Reedley is a pioneer and leader in the use of police dogs, the department is fre quently called upon to assist other depart ments in situations where a dog is needed, including the Fresno Police Department and the Sheriff's Department. On one occasion they even teamed up with the CHPhelicopter to search fo!; a wanted person. The Department's K-9 units, in addition to regular duty and scheduled training, also devote many hours of their time to public demonstrations of the dogs' pro\vess. Last August the Department hosted the Kings River Police K-9 meet, with departments from all over the state competing in such activities as obedience, agility, search, and attack. This will be an annual event, open to the public (spectators only), and worth see ing. There are several other annual meets in other areas in which the Reedley units parti cipate, and they always make a good show ing. Thanks to departments such as Reedley Police Department, which have been willing to gamble some time and money that a K-9 program would be worthwhile, the future of dogs in police work seems secure.

SAKAI GROCERY PHONE 638-2647 1351 "I" STREET • REEDLEY, CA 93654 169 Selma Police Department Chief Jim Brockett of the Selma Police Department intended to submit a compre hensive article and a new photograph of his department for this year's edition. However, each time he planned to have the personnel assembled, something intervened, so he was unable to make the publication deadline. However, Selma is one of the rare small city departments in which there is not a great deal of turnover, so it was decided last year's photo would be suitable, along with individual photos of new personnel. Chief Brockett reports no major crimes in the city in the past year, nor any police related incidents of a sensational or particularly newsworthy nature. He states that in spite of the lack of turnover in his department, when he does lose a good officer or employee it hurts. He therefore is not looking forward with anticiQation to finding a replacement for Safety Dispatcher-Clerk Ann Surabian, who will retire in June. She has served in that capacity for 2.3 years-a remarkable record in a job that is doubly susceptible to employee turnover: working for a small city depart ment, and as a dispatcher. That job is so demanding and frustrating that most depart ments have trouble keeping dispatchers long enough to recover the investment in their training. The fact that Ms. Surabian has served so long in that capacity is a tribute both to the management of the department, and to her, for her dedication to the cause of law enforcement. Chief Brockett is right in anti cipating considerable difficulty in filling her vacancy. Left to right: Front Row, Officer M. Gutierrez, Officer G. Gass, Sergeant J. White, Captain E. W.

It has proven to be a very versatile and ef fective tool in carrying out the primary pur pose of the program: to provide service to as many public service organizations as possible in the Central San Joaquin Valley. Although the program emphasizes support of local law enforcement agencies, the helicopter is also available for search and rescue activities, transportation of critically ill or injured vic tims, and traffic control services. This helicopter program was initiated after a similar program in the Sacramento area proved to be very successful and cost-effec tive. The tremendous success of this Sacra mento-based helicopter program caused the state Legislature to include funds in the Cali fornia Highway Patrol budget for two ad ditional helicopters in the 1979/80 budget. These helicopters have been placed in Red ding and Barstow. The Fresno helicopter was reassigned to this area from Los Angeles and started flying in Fresno on December 18, 1979. The primary operational area for routine patrol and response to calls is the area within a 65-mile radius of Fresno. Crew members will respond outside of this area to life saving and other extreme emergency type calls.

Several of the assists pro vided by crew members are summarized briefly: A Sheriff's Office search and rescue team requested the helicopter to assist in a search for a lost 18-year-old hiker. The boy had been missing since the early evening hours of the previous day. The area is in the 3,000-to 6,000 foot elevation and the terrain is extremely rugged. The night temperatures had dropped to 20°. After approximately two and one-half hours of searching, the pilot spotted tracks in the grass and followed the trail to where he found the boy. He landed, picked up the hiker, and transported him to the search and rescue command post. The crew then trans- Compliments Of MARKET WHOLESALE GROCERY CO. 2494 So.

The helicopter crew responded to a bur glary in progress call. The helicopter was the first unit to arrive at the scene. The helicop ter's searchlight was activated and the crew observed three suspects on the roof of the business. The suspects tried to hide, but the helicopter crew remained overhead with the light on. When the ground units arrived, they were directed to the location of the suspects, and all three were taken into custody. The helicopter responded to a report of "shots fired." Upon arrival, the helicopter crew established direct communications with the ground units. While orbiting the residence where the victim lived, the helicopter obser ver used the powerful spotlight and observed the suspect, with a rifle, hiding on the roof of an adjacent apartment building. The police officers on the ground were alerted and they took the suspect into custody as the helicopter circled above, illuminating the scene. While patroling the Fresno area, the heli copter crew monitored a law enforcement broadcast of a rape that had just occurred. \"'hile the helicopter was responding to the scene of the rape, the observer spotted a vehicle that matched the description of the suspect vehicle traveling away from the area.

The Sheriff's Depart ment advised that it had only one deputy in the area and that back-up units were several miles away. The helicopter responded to the scene in just a feyv minutes, arriving even before the deputy. The helicopter went into an orbit over the location, and the crew acti vated the powerful searchlight. There was an immediate mass exodus of people and cars from the scene. vVhat had been reported as a large disturbance turned out to be an illegal cockfight.

There have been times when that request posed something of a problem for the Sheriff. It's not that no one in the Sheriff's Department ever does anything outstanding or heroic. We think we do outstanding work as a matter of routine; as for heroism, Sheriff's Department officers have traditionally been very modest about such actions. There have been instances when an officer has exhibited a high degree of bravery and heroism, and his superiors would find out, if they found out at all, by accident some time later. Next time Sheriff McKinney is called upon to name an officer who is deserving of public recognition for an act of extraordinary cour age and heroism, he won't have to look very far. He'll find him in the Patrol Division Deputy Sheriff Clifton Little. On April 7, 1981, a little after 1:00 A.M., Little was on routine patrol in the vicinity of San Benito Avenue and Santa Fe Grade, in western Fresno County, when he came upon an overturned automobile, with flames com ing from the engine area. He grabbed the fire extinguisher from his patrol car and made an unsuccessful attempt to put out the fire. He then tried to see through the closed windows into the passenger compartment, to deter mine whether or not it was occupied. His vision was obscured by smoke, so he broke a window with his baton and reached inside, at the same time yelling, "Is anybody in there'?" After a few seconds he heard a woman's voice, hampered by severe coughing, coming from the rear seat area. Little quickly broke another window and Selma Service Shop Authorized Sales & Service McLane -Trimmer -KilchenAid Appliance Repairing Lawn Mower Sharpening 2042 East Front ·St. RICH & JACK RIEDEL Selma, Calif. 93662 PHONE 896-1564 Se Habla Espanol 177 reached in and guided the woman toward it, as the flames began to spread into the front seat. She became stuck while trying to get out through the rear window, so he reached in through the front windO\'V and forcibly pulled her forward and out of and away from the vehicle, just as the flames spread to and began to engulf the interior. The woman was not badly hurt, but she was so nearly overcome by smoke she'd never have been able to escape without assistance. Once in the fresh air, she revived enough to assure him there was no one else in the vehicle. The woman, a resident of Avenal, no doubt owes her life to Deputy Little's willingness to risk his. He has already been officially com mended by Sheriff McKinney (see photo) for his quick thinking, effective action, and cour age. To that commendation The Review adds a sincere salute; such selfless courage and concern for others makes us proud of our profession and our Department.

BURGE Since 1976 it has been our intention to form a program that would evolve into a full-time psychological service unit for the Fresno County Sheriff's Department. These services would be provided free of charge to all officers and their families. It was my belief that the officers of this department, because of the nature of their work environment, should be provided this type of service as a benefit. Just as workers compensation has taken care of physical injuries, so too should the officer have access to psychological as sistance, free of charge. In furtherance of this program, a number of statistics and data were gathered to support the concept, which had already proven to be successful in a number of jurisdictions. In 1979, the county fully agreed that this program was necessary and essential for officers and granted this benefit. As of December 1, 1980, Dr. Richard Blak has been appointed as director of psychologi cal services for the Fresno County Sheriff's Department. Dr. Blak comes to us with a wide range of experience in the mental health and criminal justice fields. He completed both his under graduate and graduate education at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, where he was granted his doctorate in 1974. Dr. Blak's major field of study focused on a combined program of organization/industrial psychology and clinical psychology. In addi tion to teaching psychology in various col leges and universities, he directed a pre deliquent diversionary program for Wayne County Juvenile Court (Detroit) for two and a half years. Dr. Blak's most recent appoint ment was as a staff psychologist for Henry Ford Hospital in the Detroit area. In that capacity he practiced individual and group psychotherapy, family therapy, psychologi cal evaluation, and specialized in stress dis orders. He was responsible for initiating and directing the hospital's first health mainten ance program for its 6,000 employees. During the last eight years, Dr. Blak has taught courses and provided consultation to various law enforcement agencies and criminal jus tice departments in colleges in southeastern Michigan. Since starting with the Sheriff's Depart ment, Dr. Blak has been kept extremely busy. y CLUB 99 2001 Whitson St. 896-9968 Selma SELMA SHELL SERVICE DAVE'S TOWING DAVID HELM, Owner Phone 896-3268 Highway 99 & Floral Ave., Selma, Calif. 93662 KATAOKA BROTHERS 14470 So.

Client satisfaction with Dr. Blak's ap proach to psychological services has been exceptionally favorable and we continue to have outstanding comments from officers regarding the style and vigor in which he approaches the services provided. Dr. Blak took it upon himself to start a regular program of riding with patrol depu ties in all areas of the county. He felt this was essential if he was to understand the officers and their problems and provide and imple ment effective programs for these officers. Not only does this provide an opportunity to explore the realities of our job, but this important effort allows deputies to meet and talk with Dr. Blak on a one-to-one basis. Our program can only be fully effective when understanding, trust, and communications have been developed, and Dr. Blak has made significant progress in this area.

This committee was d esigned to examine the needs of California law enforcement in the area of stress training at all levels and develop a curriculum to train instructors in the field of police stress. It is hoped that with this com mittee, stres~ information and training for all California peace officers will be standardized so that all officers receive high quality instruc tion. Because of the success of our program, in the fall of 1981, Dr. Blak will reinstitute our spouses' orientation program, which will be open to all spouses and fiancees of employees of this department. In the past this program has been highly successful and most appreci ated by the families of officers. Anything that can be done to help strengthen the 0 f ficer and family relationships is a step forward and this program has appeared to partially fulfill this goal. . Dr. Richard Blak is currently available to any department member or dependent, free of charge. His services are completely con fidential, and counseling sessions are per formed at a separate location. Dr. Blak main tains an office in Room 217 of the Sheriff's Administration Building. Because of the 24 hour nature of law enforcement ,,,,'ork, he is also available 24 hours a day in the event of an emergency requiring immediate attention. Dr. Blak is truly a professional and he has added a new positive dimension to our department. Change is the essence of life. As our depart ment grows, so does it change, and this pro gram has shown that positive, constructive change is always desirable.
