COVER PHOTO —The cover depicts a phase of police work not ordinarily seen on television: establishment of identification by hair comparison. While not as absolute a means of identification as fingerprints, each individual hair does have distinctive characteristics common to those of other hairs from the same person. The photo at lower right is an enlargement of a single hair, from the head of a victim of a crime. If its characteristics match those of a hair found on the person, the clothing, or the automobile, etc., of a suspect, it will go a long way toward proving his involvement. SILVER CREEK PACKING CO.

We have better educated, better trained, and more equitably paid officers. We have better patrol vehicles, better weapons, and a communications system that within seconds can furnish in- formation it would have taken a day to obtain a decade ago. These advantages are helping us to do a better job, but we don't know what effect the likely reduction in tax revenue will have. We could take the easy way out and blame future deficiencies in performance on lack of funds. We could pass the buck to the public and say, "You get only as much law enforcement as you're will- ing to pay for. You have only yourselves to blame if we don't have the resources to do the job." But as professional law enforcement officers we shall not take advantage of that opportunity even though we're sure that whatever method of tax reduction is adopted it will curtail our protective services to some degree. We may have to screen citizen complaints more carefully and answer only those where it appears the immediate response of an officer is imperative. To report minor incidents a citizen may be asked .to come to the office instead of having an officer contact him at home. We may have to be more selective in assigning cases for follow -up investigation, choosing only those wherein apprehension and conviction seem probable. But no matter to what degree curtailment becomes necessary, we pledge to perform to the best of our ability with the resources available to us. In the final analysis it is not the number of dollars in the budget that determines the success or failure of our efforts but the degree of cooperation between us and the public. Without your help and cooperation and support we couldn't have achieved the crime rate reduction enjoyed in the last two years, a reduction of more than ten percent in the unincorporated areas of Fresno County. With the limited budget we anticipate, we'll need your help even more. So, no matter what happens to our budget, we'll try to do our part and we trust you'll do yours.

This annual pub- lication is made possible by many persons, not all of whom are in law enforcement. Both per- sonally and on behalf of our Association mem- bers, 1 would like to thank all our advertisers for your support. Without you publication wouldn't be possible, and many persons would be denied the knowledge and help they may obtain from our articles and editorials. We consider this important because so often we in the law enforcement profession take for grant- ed that the public under tands as well as we why we do, fail to do, or can't do certain things, and we fail to make those points sufficiently clear in our day to day contact.

Lieutenant Edward Margosian joined the Department in 1954. Subsequently he served in the Jail, Patrol, and Detective Divisions, and for much of his career was a detective or detective sergeant in the Juvenile Detail. He was promoted to lieu- tenant in 1970, and served in that rank in the Patrol, Jail, and Detective Divisions. Last summer Ed succumbed to leukem- ia, the illness which had forced him into a premature retirement a few months earli- er. We didn't say much about the nature of the illness when we wrote the story of his retirement in last year's edition, for at that time he was still waging a valiant fight to conquer it, in spite of every indication that it was a fight he was destined to lose. When he first learned he had the dread disease, he went to his home town of Boston, to be treated by one of the nation's top specialists in the field. He made several trips there during the next year or so, and 11 there were times when there seemed to be some hope that the disease was in remis- sion. But each time those hopes would be cruelly destroyed by recurring symptoms. Most of us, if faced with a similar situation, would have given up, but Eddie never quit fighting. Somewhere, after each setback, he found the strength and courage to keep going. He told of one occasion when he lay in bed in the hospital in Boston and heard the doctor, who thought he was unconscious, tell his wife Alma, who remained at his side throughout the ordeal, that he could live only a few more hours, and that she should summon the children from Fresno. After the doctor left the room Eddie opened his eyes and assured Alma that his fight was not yet over, and that within a few days he'd be back on his feet. True to his word, a few days later they were on an airplane enroute to Fresno. For the last few months Eddie was able to take advantage of some newly installed special equipment at a local hospital, and thus receive the same type of treatment for which he'd been going to Boston. In spite of all the extensive treatment, the disease finally won. But even though he ultimately lost, the fight Eddie put up against it, and the memory of what a fine man and officer he was, will be an everlast- ing inspiration to all who knew him. Being number one doesn't make us the best .. . it's being the best that makes us number one!

He was graduated from Edison High School in 1955, and then attended Fresno City Col- lege. In October of that year he enlisted in the United States Navy, where he served until September of 1958, as a Dental Technician. After discharge he worked for Crocket Brothers De Soto Plymouth Agen- cy, Commercial Body Sales, and as a bookkeeper for the Sam Davidson Com- pany. In 1961 Ray joined the Sheriff's Depart- ment. He served the normal apprenticeship in the jail and as a bailiff, and by early 1977 was well on his way to a rewarding and productive career when he was stricken with a brain tumor. It was diagnosed as inoperable, and for several months he underwent extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments, all to no avail. In his few years with the Department Ray had earned a reputation as a cool, level- headed, intelligent officer who could be depended upon always to take the proper 13 action in times of great stress. He first demonstrated that talent during the farm labor demonstrations of a few years ago. Because he could speak Spanish he was frequently asked to serve as interpreter between the supervisors of the striking workers and the officers in charge of the deputies assigned to maintain law and order. His coolness, impartiality, and com- mon sense while serving in that capacity contributed greatly to the fact that there were no significant confrontations on the strike line. In perusing Ray's personnel file for in- formation for this biographical sketch, we found several letters of commendation, from citizens he had helped, and from supervisory officers under whom he had served. A gentleman who had choked on a bit of food in a local restaurant credited the cool and quick action of Ray and his partner with saving his life. An elderly woman who had fallen and was unable to regain her footing wrote to thank and praise him for his consideration and assistance. A super- visory officer commended him for his exemplary conduct during the farm labor crisis. The most touching commendation, how- ever, although its origin has no particular significance, does seem somewhat ironic. It was a general commendation on Ray's routine duties as a patrol officer, written by his Watch Commander. The Watch Com- mander was Lieutenant Eddie Margosian, the only other member of the Department to pass away in 1977. v oc bs BIG BOY FAMILY RESTAURANTS "WE LOVE GOOD FOOD JUST LIKE YOU DO" �BLACKSTONE & SHAW BLACKSTONE & BELMONT � affLL i WILLSON FARMS I Iq 0 Q 1.,::?- 1=) Q izm� -A., rr :F1 ID 313 Guarantee Financial Center 1318 East Shaw Avenue Fresno, Calif. 8371C Phone 20J,226-3444 THANKS AND CONGRATULATES THE FRESNO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WITH SPECIAL GRATITUDE TO SHERIFF HAROLD C.

Or at least a bit of guilt at not being ashamed. No matter how vital a job may be to the orderly process of government, or how necessary it is to the well- being of the community, it wouldn't be difficult to assume that the jobholder is regarded by a large segment of the taxpaying public as a "sponge," or a "leech," or a "parasite." Some critics of the present tax structure seem to feel that the whole public employment system, or government, is one big welfare system, and that we who have been fortunate enough to become recipients of its benevolence sit around on the job doing nothing, receive fat pay checks twice a month, then retire at an early age on a pension that will enable us to live in luxury for the remainder of our lives, still eating at the public trough. Incidentally, retired Fresno County employ- ees, as well as many other members of public employee retirement systems, do not receive their pension payments from the "public trough," but from an annuity paid for by substantial payroll deductions over the years. The fund from which the payments come is not owned by the public, but by the retirement association, which is an independent and separate entity from government. While in our case the county does pay a matching amount for each employee into the fund, that amount is considered a part of the salary package, and is taken into consideration when county salaries are compared with those for similar jobs in private industry. If our retirement system pays somewhat larger benefits than many private industry employee retirement systems, it is because it costs a great deal more. But back to the need for tax reduction. One could easily get the impression that most people are so tired of big government and high taxes that they'd actually be willing to give up most of the services to which they've become accustomed in the last few decades, and roll back the calendar to a simpler era, when they took care of most of their problems on their own, and without government assistance. But we really don't want it that way. And when I say "we," I include myself and other public employees, for we are a part of the taxpaying public. We still want a cop to come out and tell the neighbor, without letting him know who complained, that his stereo is too MR BML Phones Selma 896 -3293 Fresno 834 -5325 3175 Highland Ave. & Hwy. 99 Selma, California 15 loud, or that his dog has been using our lawn for a latrine. If a friend, or even a relative, is down on his luck, we don't want to have to slip him a few bucks to tide him over. Let him go on welfare so all taxpayers can share in the joy of giving to help someone who's in need. We don't want to have to start teaching our children ethics and etiquette and sex education at home; let the teachers do that, even if it does take time from the study of reading and writing and arithmetic. And we want our kids to have an opportunity to participate in an elaborate and expensive interscholastic sports program, so we can go to the games and vicariously relive our own days of athletic glory. (Funny how many of us were star quarterbacks and pitchers thirty or forty years ago. Wonder what happened to all the linemen and outfielders ?) Besides, if our sons are limited to intramural sports, how is the major league scout going to discover them? We still want a fireman to rescue the child who has his hand stuck in the hole in the fence, or the cat stranded in a tree; we still want parks 16 and recreation areas that are attractive and well cared for; we want public buildings that, in addition to being utilitarian, are just a bit ornate or artistic so we can show them off to visitors from out of town. We want elaborate library service, good streets and roads, some- one to round up and care for all the stray dogs and cats; and all the other amenities so compatible with our modern way of life. Oh, yes, we say. We want to keep all those things, and we're willing to pay for them. What we want to get rid of are all the unnecessary things in government: the frills —all those fancy programs that do nothing but provide jobs for the people involved in them. We just want to get back to basics. If that's how we feel, there is one very important factor we must understand. All of those frills and fancy programs have one thing in common. To someone, or to some group or organization, each of them is a very important and justifiable function of government.

In virtually every in- stance, some citizen or group of citizens has cared enough about the particular project or program to go to the trouble of convincing the appropriate legislative body that it is worth- while, and that money spent to implement it is in the public interest. Because at the time it was being considered, no one spoke against it with an argument strong enough to refute the claims of the proponents, the program was adopted. What is a frill or a fancy program to one taxpayer is a necessity to another. Remember the homely old adage that "the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the grease "? Unfortunately, those who sponsor and insist on the adoption of policies and programs most of us would agree are a waste of dollars are, while in the minority numerically, invar- iably the most dedicated and the most vocal. The whole problem is that very few of us really bother to find out exactly how our tax dollars are being spent. The local newspaper may publish a diagram each year around eie :p:_:, e-r ;t All 3. =MEN . i Seven -Up Bottling Company (209) 442 -1553 2012 Pearl Street Fresno, California 93721 17 budget adoption time, depicting a silver dollar with pie- shaped wedges cut to show percen- tages earmarked for the various general projects and programs. If we've recently had a front wheel knocked out of alignment from hitting a hole in the road, we may look at the diagram and wonder about the amount spent on road maintenance; or, if we know someone who is cheating on welfare, we may complain about the money wasted on freeloaders. But that is about as far as any of us ever goes toward actually finding out exactly where our tax money goes. All hearings before the legislative bodies concerning the adoption and implementation of annual budgets are open to the public. Any citizen who doesn't like the plans that are being made to spend tax money is thus given an opportunity to say so. Yet such hearings seldom play to a full house; on the contrary, the audiences are usually very small. While there may be present representatives of a taxpayers' association, or some other group trying to look out for the welfare of the public, they usually gives you WIDE AREA • COVERAGEI • F'; o Ai. p,^ 7 21 Ho., Me ... go Molding and in,- 1 Semcee Ousct Iniorconnect ) i. °!.,k A, mto eny telephone ,,.

After the budget is adopted it is a public document, available for examination by any citizen. But how many of us ever take advan- tage of that right? Obviously, none of us has the time to closely examine such a monstrous document as a federal or state budget, but on the city or county level, much of which the complaining is about, it wouldn't be too much of an undertaking. If government is too big, and our tax money is being wasted on a lot of things we could easily get along without, we have no one to blame but ourselves. We've sat back and let it happen. So what do we do about it now? We get involved. That phrase has been used so much in recent years that it, too, has become somewhat trite, but that doesn't detract from its wisdom. Very briefly, we become aware of plans that are being considered for expenditure of tax money before they are finally adopted and implemented. If we don't like them, we say so then, instead of waiting until afterward, then complaining about frills and fancy programs. r Contr. lic. 285393 ---�SPEtCIALTIES r--- ALL TYPES OF ASPHALT PAVING Free Estimates GENERAL ENGINEERING CONTRACTORS COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL RESIDENTIAL 3501 W.

Their passing marked the end of an era; the final chapter in the story of a unique philanthropic gesture made more than ten years earlier by the late Charles Mel, presi- dent of the Calo Dog Food Company. The full story of the founding, the brief but effective existence, and the untimely demise of the Charles Mel Search and Rescue Foundation has never been publicly told in its entirety. It seems quite appropriate now, as a memorial to Mr. Mel and a tribute to the other people and the dogs who made up the organization, to tell the story in this publication, for this department and the people of Fresno County probably received more benefit from the Foundation than did any other single agency or community. Mr. Mel had long been interested in blood- hounds and their uncanny ability to detect and identify the scent of a particular person hours or days after his or her presence in a certain area. During the late fifties he had some type of arrangement whereby he sponsored the search and rescue activities of a dog handler narned Russ Cone. It wasn't a well organized setup; there was no central location or an- swering service where Cone could be contact- ed, so getting him to the scene of a search in time to be effective was not often possible. Perhaps that is why we were never favorably impressed whenever we had occasion to call for his assistance. With his fringed leather co%O)oy costume and his stories about the 19 prowess of his dogs, he put on a good show, but I don't recall that they ever found a lost person in Fresno County, or even aided significantly in a search. Sometime in the early sixties Cone Duke and Hezekiah r� was killed in an automobile accident. We were sorry to hear of his death, of course, but we didn't feel we'd really miss his assistance in search and rescue. And when, a few years later, we received a letter telling us of the establishment of the Mel Search and Rescue Foundation, we weren't overly enthusiastic. Our first actual contact with the new foun- dation was in July of 1967, and it happened almost by accident. I was then a lieutenant and director of search and rescue operations, and Bill Young was the field sergeant. We had a large crew on a major search in the Rattle- snake Crossing area north of Kaiser Pass, and after we'd been there several days headquar- ters received a call of a missing person at Sequoia Lake. Undersheriff Jim Long, who was then administrative head of the search and rescue team, assigned Sergeant Bill Cun- ningham and a crew to handle that search, and because manpower was limited due to the number of men Bill and I had with us, he contacted the Mel Foundation and arranged for assistance. That search ended a short time after the dog was given the scent. He picked it up in the campground where the missing boy had last been seen, and followed it to the edge of the lake. With that clue to guide them, divers located the body a short time later just a few yards offshore. Cunningham then called me by radio and asked if we could use the dog on our search. It didn't appear likely he could be of any help to us, for our victim had already been missing for almost a week. When I explained that to Cunningham, he said the handler had no calls waiting, and since he was already in this part of the state, would like to come by and get acquainted, and be immediately available in case we did find a clue the dog could help us check out. I figured it was his time, and if he wanted to waste it in such a fashion it was all right with me, so I told him he was welcome to join us. Just before sundown a red four - wheel -drive pickup appeared at our camp, with a genial, rugged looking man in his late thirties at the wheel, and a younger man in the passenger's seat. The driver dismounted and introduced himself as Don Colbert. I remember being pleasantly surprised that he wasn't wearing fringed leather. Instead he had on an olive green work uniform with a shoulder patch bearing the words, "Mel Search and Rescue." The younger man, whom lie introduced as Bud Stokes, his assistant, was similarly garbed. After the introductions Stokes opened the door of the camper shell on the truck and led out a ml�!404 ! 4 11111 �;, INSURANCE STORAGE WORK INVITED AVAILABLE EMERGENCY 23�7_�7�71 `7 Rkf AIRS �+ ESTIM ATES -)c5t V►ch11011t TLIob p �1)0P 1 1410 W.

"It really shakes 'em up." After dinner Don told us more about the Foundation and his part in it. Since Cone's death Mr. Mel had been planning a more effective means of providing bloodhound ser- vice to public agencies active in search and rescue. By early 1967 he had organized a non- profit foundation, with several prominent Bay area citizens on its Board of Directors. He provided most of the initial financing, but planned that eventually public recognition would make it possible to at least partially support it by contributions. The method of operation was simple: any public agency in the state had only to make a telephone call re- questing help, and a handler and dogs would, subject to prior call of course, be on the way. An office was set up in Oakland, with an answering service to handle calls at night and on week ends.

Don had been an equipment installer for a telephone company in southern California, and had been active with the volunteeer Sierra Madre Search and Rescue Team. There he'd learned how to train and use bloodhounds for tracking, and when he heard about the Mel Foundation he applied for the job of search director. Mr. Mel lilted his looks and his credentials, and signed him to a five -year contract. Don moved his wife, Pat, and their three daughters to Inverness, a small town on Tomales Bay an hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge. He took along his own dog, Hezekiah, that he'd raised from a puppy. Hez was seven or eight years old then, and was a veteran of many searches. In the next few months kennels were built, three or four additional dogs were ac- quired, the pickup was purchased and outfit- ted with camping and survival gear, and notices were sent throughout the state advising -� o� BROWNIE 20 Heavyweight MINUTE Mufflers SERVICE CUSTOM BUILT TAILPIPES 5 Pounds Heavier for Longer Life Locally Owned and Operated Free Estimates * Free Inspection 2535 Ventura 237 -2081 REALTORS AMLS Multip, Ton, candeLiria "The Peak of Professionalism" Broker -Oi ner Complete Real Estate Service With 4 Offices To Better Serve You 731 E.

We were the first agency to take advantage of its services. Don and Bud stayed with us for several days, even though on that search we never did find anything Hezekiah could work on. The men helped around camp, joined the search crews in beating the brush, and generally made them- selves useful. By the time they finally left for home all our prejudices against bloodhounds and their handlers had disappeared. We had also learned a great deal about the big dogs and the manner in which they work. We found that the term "tracking blood- hounds" is actually somewhat misleading, for it isn't from the tracks, or footprints, alone that the dog picks up the scent. Each of us, no matter how frequently we bathe or how much Arrid Extra Dry we use, has an odor that is as distinctive to a bloodhound as is a signature to a handwriting expert or a fingerprint to an identification technician. We leave that odor behind us wherever we go, in exactly the same manner as does the skunk who walks across our RATCLIFFE STADIUM SHELL COMPLETE AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES Official Brake, Headlight Aiming & Smog Station BLACKSTONE & McKINLEY 266 -4517 Compliments Of PRECISION '74 AUTO STEREO 1496 N.

The length of time a person's scent lingers and remains strong enough to be recognized depends primarily on the humidity and the wind. If there's a great deal of moisture in the air and no wind, a good dog may be able to detect and identify the scent after a lapse of several days. We were also reminded of the importance of a scent guide. The best qualified bloodhound in the world can't detect and follow a scent unless he has been told which scent to look for. That message is usually conveyed to him by holding to his nose an article of clothing recently worn by the missing person, or his bed linen or sleeping bag. Such articles are worthless for that purpose, of course, if they have been washed since they were used, or have been handled by any other person. They should be picked up with a stick or similar object, and placed in a clean, dry paper or plastic bag until they can be turned over to the dog handler.

Hwy. 99 233 -3731 (At Flat Top Truck Stop, Fresno) On their first visit in 1968 they brought the sad news that Mr. Mel had passed away during the winter. I remember feeling a sense of personal loss, even though my only contact with him had been by telephone a couple of times when I'd called the Foundation to re- quest Don's assistance. Although there was a secretary and a full tinte answering service, Mr. Mel often took the calls himself. He'd always ask a number of detailed questions about the person we were looking for and the circumstances of his being lost. He wasn't questioning whether or not we really needed help, but was expressing his concern for the person in trouble. Don assured us Mr. Mel's death would have no immediate effect on the Foundation or it,; operation. His contract still had four oars to run, az ld funds were avail- able to keep the operation going for at least that long. We'd just have to wait and see what would happen after that. On some cases the Foundation's assistance was extremely valuable; on others conditions made it less so, but it was always enthusias- tically welcomed. Even when there appeared to be little the dogs could do to help, their mere presence had a positive psychological effect on the relatives and friends of those for whom we were searching, by indicating to them we were taking advantage of every available resource. Quite often, we found, the dogs helped a great deal even if they didn't lead us KERMAN WHOLESALE MEAT CO. USDA INSPECTED MEAT ONLY Restaurants, Schools, Markets, Etc.

They'd often indi- cate considerable interest in a certain possible route of travel, and ignore all others. We'd search in that direction, and perhaps spot our quarry from a jeep or an airplane while the searchers on foot were still some distance away. We thus were spared the time- consum- ing process'; of checking each possible route individually, in addition to gaining the pri- mary benefit of getting the lost person to safety that much sooner. Everyone who has read Uncle Tom's Cabin remembers the incident about Simon Legree's hounds chasing Eliza, and it is at least im- plied that the dogs were bloodhounds. If so, and unless Legree had found a way to impart to his dogs his own character traits, they'd probably have smothered her with affection QUICK STOP FOOD & BEVERAGES Case Discounts — Open 7 Days a Week i Groceries — Deli Items — Sundries — Gift Wrapping II 266 -6941 4193 E.

The breed generally is very affectionate, although, like humans, each has an individual personality. The several dogs Don had over the years were for the most part very well trained and behaved in an exemplary manner. Some of them are just names now: Milton, Andy, Ira, Moose, and there may have been a few others whose names I have forgotten. But of some I have as vivid a memory as of humans with whom I've worked. Hezekiah was a bit cantankerous at times; he wasn't vicious, but he didn't take kindly to teasing or play. After he'd growled and bared his teeth a few times we learned to respect his wish to be left alone. Beau and Duke were generally more congenial, and enjoyed a good romp on occasion.

He, too, was inclined to snarl if his privacy were invaded, and he remained somewhat cool and aloof toward both humans and the other dogs. He'd been a show dog in his youth, and he liked to stand at attention in the kennel yard, with head and tail held at precisely the proper angle, as if waiting for the judges to award him his blue ribbon. Mandy -girl was the only female Don ever tried to train for tracking, but with her he didn't have overwhelming success. The lady was intelligent and willing, but a bit temperamental and flighty. Then there was Benson. Like Casey, he was a deep red; a beautiful young dog with a sunny, playful disposition. He was also intel- ligent, and a capable tracker if not distracted. But no matter how hot the trail, the moment he found a rabbit or deer scent crossing the path, he forgot all about the scent he was supposed to be following. Needless to say, he didn't graduate with honors from Don's train- ing school. By the spring of 1969 Bud Stokes had found other employment, and Don was in need of another assistant. Because the Foundation's budget was not unlimited, he was looking for a young man mature enough to handle the sometimes demanding and rigorous job of following the dogs through the brush for hours or miles, often with insufficient rest and ir- Compliments of RAU'S DAIRY FARM FRED RAU, Owner KNUDSEN PRODUCER 10255 W.

When he mentioned the situation to me, on his first visit that year, I told him I thought my son, Steve, would make him a good man. "He's only fourteen," I said, "but he's been learning how to take care of himself in the mountains since he started to walk." "That's a couple of years younger than I had in mind," he said, "but maybe I'll take him on a couple of searches and see how he works out." Steve first accompanied Don on a search in Sequoia National Park. They arrived at the scene about midday, and ate a hurried lunch before putting the dogs on the trail. In open- ing a can of field rations Steve cut his hand, not a critical wound, but deep enough to bleed profusely. He quickly wrapped his handker- chief around his hand and put it in his pocket. He walked through the forest all afternoon and into the night with his hand hidden in that fashion. By the time they arrived back in VALLEY BURGLAR AND FIRE ALARM CO.

"Why didn't you tell me when it happened ?" Don asked as he prepared to render some long delayed first aid. "I was afraid you'd make me stay in camp," Steve said. "I think you'll work out fine," Don told him. Thus Steve became a part of Mr. Mel's grand project. He spent two busy and excit- ing summers with Don, helping train the dogs and keep them in condition, flying all over northern California in military aircraft the Foundation sometimes managed to obtain for transportation, and, illegally, of course, since he wasn't old enough to have a license, driving the truck on long runs when Don needed a rest. The area surrounding Inverness is ideal for dog training, for there are plenty of brush covered hills over which numerous trails and abandoned roads wander at random. To train the young dogs, and to keep the veterans in condition, Don and Steve frequently enlisted VALLEY TYPEWRITER CO.

They'd take a sweater or a T -shirt for a scent guide, have the owner go some distance away and hide in the brush, then give the dog the scent and urge him to follow it. A young dog, ordinarily beginning his education when al- most full grown, was paired with an experi- enced dog.

It was a tossup as to who enjoyed the game more: the kids, the dogs, or the trainers. One of the most promising students, and Steve's favorite, was a handsome young dog named Solomon. He was something of a child prodigy, learning to track when he was still a pup. Many dogs, even well trained adults, must be worked on a leash or harness to keep them under control; otherwise they become so excited at following the scent they'll ignore voice commands and run off and ,leave their handlers far behind. Almost from the begin- ning Solomon could be trusted to work with- out a leash. His training partner was his father, Clancy, and he'd follow the old man, sniffing eagerly along the trail right at his heels, until they were within a few yards of the child they were looking for. Then he'd rush ahead and beat the older dog to the hidden youngster. Don and Steve predicted he'd be- COUNTRY BOY MARKET 2 STORES TO SERVE YOU Chestnut & Olive 5380 N.

One day during a training session, as they waited for a youngster to reach his hiding place, Steve was idly stroking Solomon's sleek flank when he felt an odd lump in the ab- domen.

Golden State Blvd. Fresno, CA 93725 28 and they rushed the dog to a veterinarian. He had fallen victim to the danger common to the breed of accidentally swallowing stones, toys, or other objects they playfully pick up in their mouths. Because their throat passages are so enormous, they can swallow objects much too large to pass through the digestive tract. Unless the situation is detected almost im- mediately, intestinal blockage is the inevitable result. In Solomon's case they were too late. Infection had already set in, and he died within a few hours. Don tried to prevent such tragedies by instructing neighborhood children of the dan- ger caused by throwing objects into the pens for the dogs to play with, and by checking the pens frequently and removing any foreign objects. But in spite of their efforts, two or three other dogs, including the majestic Casey, eventually died in the same manner. Others were victims of another hazard pe- culiar to bloodhounds and a few other large animals.

Arcade Fresno internal organs have room for considerable independent movement. Occasionally a dog will lie on one side long enough for the stom- ach and other organs to become settled into a somewhat fixed position, then turn to the other side, and the stomach won't always turn with the remainder of the body. This results in a twist in the alimentary canal both above and below the stomach, and as in the case of swallowing a foreign object, leads to fatal blockage if not detected almost immediately. Unfortunately, in neither situation is there pain or sufficient discomfort to be outwardly manifested by the dog until considerable dam- age has been done. 1971 was the final year covered by Don's contract. His first visit that spring was to accompany our team to the annual search and rescue seminar at Sequoia National Park. He was obviously concerned about the future of the Foundation. Mr. Mel had failed to make long term provision for it in his will, and his heirs had so far made no commitment to keep it in operation.

Florence 29 he wouldn't be able to use Steve that summer; he'd have to work without an assistant to make the dwindling funds last as long as possible. He still hoped some method could be found to keep the Foundation alive, but he wasn't at all optimistic. By the end of the year his fears were realized. He had been told his contract would not be renewed, and that the Founda- tion would cease to exist. In its five years of life the Foundation had participated in more than a hundred searches, in eleven counties ranging from Siskiyou to Tulare and from Plumas to Mono, and in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. No one knows exactly how many lives were saved by its participation, but it is certain that because the dogs were there, many lost persons were found and removed from the risk of death or injury much sooner than they otherwise would have been. Between searches and training sessions Don and his assistants had spoken on wilderness safety and survival to thousands of youngsters in appearances at schools, camps, clubs, and churches.

When the Foundation folded Don couldn't keep all the dogs, of course, so he found other homes for all but two, Clancy and the pick of a litter he'd recently sired, Barney. That winter Don found a job with a local communications firm, doing the same type of work he'd done before becoming affiliated with the Mel Foun- dation, and he moved to Fresno. We negotia- ted an agreement whereby the Sheriff's De- partment would maintain and care for the two dogs in exchange for their use in search and rescue. It was planned that Don would serve as handler whenever he could spare time from his new job, and would train members of the search and rescue team to work the dogs when neither he nor Steve could be available. A kennel was built at the Industrial Farm, and an inmate was assigned to keep it clean, to feed and care for the dogs, and to exercise them daily with a brisk walk around the farm premises. We were all quite pleased with the arrange- ment. It then appeared that the demise of the Mel Foundation had actually been a blessing in disguise as far as our county was concerned. Instead of having to call for bloodhounds from a couple of hundred miles away, with the ever present possibility they'd be involved in a search somewhere else, we now had them immediately available any time we needed them. Steve, of course, was ecstatic at the prospect of being- able to work with his sad - faced friends again. For the first year or so all went according to plan.

The hounds were used in several searches, with very gratifying results. Jim Cruz, a member of the search and rescue team who'd long been interested in working with blood- hounds, learned to handle them with the aplomb of a veteran trainer. But then the situation began to deteriorate. Don's job began to take a great deal of his time outside regular working hours. The company operated all over the San Joaquin Valley, and he was frequently called out at night and on weekends to solve a problem in a new instal- lation. Eventually he moved to Madera, put- ting another twenty miles between his home and the kennel. Steve started to college, and classes, study, and working several evenings a week in a grocery store drastically limited his time. They were thus able to provide only token training for Clancy and Barney.

We considered building a kennel at Shaver, to make it more convenient for Jim, and so the dogs would be closer to the area where they'd most likely be used on an actual search. But with the heavy tourist traffic in that area, and with no one to see to the dogs when Jim was away on a call, we were afraid they'd suffer the same fate as had Casey and Solomon: swallowing an object some well - meaning per- son might throw into their pen for them to play with. i k7 a V �*- •:� zt Beau sadly wonders why he's been left behind. Meanwhile, the two dogs lay around the kennel at the farm and grew fat and lazy. They were still taken on daily walks, but that couldn't make up for the lack of real work. Don assured us that their inactivity wouldn't significantly affect their tracking ability; that it's a skill that once learned a dog never forgets. But it certainly wasn't doing much for their physical condition. Medical science still isn't sure what causes E ;dw PE ISI 4� pwil, I cancer in humans, so I'm sure veterinarians are equally unenlightened about its cause in animals. Perhaps the dogs' lack of normal activity for a couple of years was a contri- buting factor; perhaps not. The symptoms were first noticed sometime in the summer of 1976. Steve had found time to take Clancy on a brief outing to the Kings River, and enroute back he noticed several lumps under the dog's skin. He reported this to Lieutenant Bill Cun- ningham, the Farm superintendent. He called a veterinarian and the lumps were diagnosed as malignant tumors for which there is no known cure. They could have been surgically removed, but the vet recommended against it, explaining that there was little chance the operation would halt the disease. Once such tumors start developing, he said, they multi- ply until they eventually cause death. Until the latter stages they are virtually painless, and he recommended that as long as Clancy seemed to feel all right, nothing be done. Within a few months the same type of tumors began to develop under Barney's skin. CALIFORNIA FIRST BANK COMPLETE BANKING SERVICE Fresno Branch North Fresno Branch 1458 Kern St. 1330 E.

We considered trying to find a good female to breed to Clancy, so there would be another son to carry on the good work, but we were afraid that in his condition he wouldn't sire healthy offspring. Besides, we by then had decided that a medium -sized agency such as ours, with only an occasional need, can't afford to have its own bloodhounds. Between search- es they're like an army between wars; expen- sive to feed and maintain, and time consuming to keep fit and ready for duty. The ideal arrangement is an organization such as the Mel Foundation, where a few dogs can supply the needs of many agencies. By late spring of 1977 both dogs were obviously beginning to feel the effects of their illness. They weren't interested in running and playing; their once bright eyes were listless and dull. By that time Don had moved to Las Vegas, and I'd written to him explain- ing the situation and the veterinarian's diag- nosis and recommendation.

While the overall crime rate in the unincorporated areas of Fresno County has decreased somewhat in recent months, homicide A new wave of criminal violence has sur- faced in Fresno County in the past two years, primarily due to organized criminal activity by so- called "prison spawned gangs." These gangs have primarily been formed among various ethnic groups, creating a subculture of criminality with an organized structure of leaders and followers. To aid in an understanding of this concept of the gang structure, the discussion will be focussed on two Mexican - American prison spawned gangs. One of the first to be formed in the prisons was the "Mexican Mafia," other- wise known by its true ethnic terminology as "EME." This group dates back to 1957, when it was organized at the Deuel Vocational Institute at Tracy, California. Charter mem- bers were mostly Mexican - American inmates from the barrios of East Los Angeles. This continues at an all time high. This article ex- plains the main reason for that unfortunate situation. small group controlled all illegal activities within the prison society, such as narcotic smuggling and distribution, gambling, and collections of debts. They victimized mostly the black and Anglo inmates and usually avoided the other Mexican - American inmates. Sub- sequently this small group grew in numbers, and increased in power, and eventually spread throughout the California prison system. Sometime early in 1966 EME began ex- panding its operation and sphere of influence to include not just the prison society, but the free society as w=ell. It was then that the structure became much more formal, with certain select individuals directing the activi- ties of the general membership. This expan- sion caused it to be recognized by both inmates and prison officials as a potentially dangerous movement.

I I f LLLj�• I' 4343 North Blackstone at Holland Ave. 59 In the latter part of 1967 EME was respon- sible for the fatal stabbing of a Mexican - American at San Quentin Prison. This was the first assault on a member of the same ethnic group that could be directly attributed to in- structions from leaders of the organization. That incident both angered and frightened many of the Mexican - American inmates not affiliated with EME. Prior to that time they had considered themselves immune to im- proper treatment by the gang, simply because they were of the same ethnic background. They were generally in an "uptight" mood, and many threats of retaliation were ex- pressed. Just a few weeks later the EME was blamed for a second assault on a Mexican - American inmate at San Quentin. Tensions, anger, and restlessness began to escalate, but prison offi- cials were able to at least temporarily prevent any wholesale outbreaks of violence. However, the two incidents caused some elements of the Mexican - American population to evaluate the deadly potential of the EME, and they started NOW 5 LOY LOY RESTAURANTS DINING ROOM & TAKE -OUT AT: 780 E.

The second group was composed mainly of what are generally referred to as "valley" and "northern" Mexican - Americans, coming most- ly from the following localities in California: Santa Clara County including San Jose and Gilroy; Salinas in Monterey County; the Santa Barbara - Oxnard areas; and the San Joaquin Valley from Stockton to south of Fresno. This self- styled protection group called themselves "Nuestra Familia," which translated means "Our Family," and is generally referred to by the initials "NF." The manner in which the two gangs origin- ally seemed to have divided the state between them is indicated by the fact that there have been just three known EME gang - related murders in the Fresno area. Two of them are still unsolved. In the third, which occurred in the early part of February 1977, a known EME member was killed in his home. Four other EME members have pleaded innocent to murder charges in this case, and are awaiting We Deliver — Ph. 222 -3395 DeKor Drugs Corner West & Shields =r - Purity Shopping Center 1121 West Shields Ave., Fresno 2254 N.

All of the suspected members are from Southern California, and one of them is await- ing trial on murder crlarges for the slaying of an East Los Angeles woman in Sacramento. Most gang- related murders in the Fresno area have been linked to Nuestra Familia. Twenty -four such killings occurred in a four- teen -month period from October 1976 through December 1977. The Nuestra Familia, in contrast to the EME in its early stages, appears to be much better organized. It operates under authority of a written constitution, which provides, among other things, that membership is for life, and that the organization comes before everything else, even one's family. From its inception, the structure has provided a top man in the organization designated as the General. His power is unlimited. There are ten captains under him, and an unlimited number of lieutenants. One of the duties of the lieu- tenants is to keep a record of all names and addresses of the enemies of the NF, and report this to a captain. It is also the responsibility of EAST EL MONTE GUEST HOME Supervised Care and Recreation for Ambulatory Aged Guests 4670 E.

Rank or status within the organization is attained by the number of "hits," or assaults. When a soldier makes a "hit," but not a kill, he gains the title of warrior. Each kill earns a star. Purportedly it takes three stars for a warrior to become a lieutenant, and five stars are required to attain the rank of captain. But such qualifications don't automatically assure promotion. Leadership qualities are also taken into account. What started out as a prison self - protection group against the adversary EME has since spread to free society, and is heavily involved in the narcotic and extortion traffic. The uniqueness of the organization is the high level of group solidarity, reinforced by the following oath and its enforcement: "If I go forward, follow me. If I hesitate, push me. If they kill me, avenge me. If I am a traitor, kill me."

HARVI=Y AVE. Local law enforcement has been generally frustrated in its attempts to solve the series of execution -type murders occurring over the past two years. It appears that the NF has been responsible for most of them, but they can't be compared to the common type of murder, in which there is usually some evi- dence available, or witnesses willing to tell what they know, and thus a chance of arrest and prosecution. Law enforcement has been seriously hindered by the fact that NF mur- ders are notable for their lack of evidence, and because even if witnesses are located, they are always fearful and reluctant to become in- volved. The Nuestra Familia's tight hold on the Fresno area underworld became all too ap- parent in one year when the rate of execution - style murders began to mount. At that time, surprisingly, it was thought that the NF and the EME were fighting for control of illicit drug traffic in the area. After a careful reassessment of the various investigations and information from both intelligence sources and informants, however, it was determined that most of the murder victims had been, or were, Familia members, and that they had been killed by Familia soldiers. This unusual activity caused speculation that the Nuestra Familia is trying to restore discipline and improve loyalty within the organization.

One noticeable change within the organiza- tion has been disenchantment among mem- bers with the use of terror and intimidation to enforce compliance with the constitution. Many members are now trying to sever them- selves from the organization, thus becoming HARDAMON'S CHARTER SERVICE Air Conditioned * Reclining Seats Stereo Equipped * Pestrooms 1129 Mariposa, Fresno 486 -5495 YELLOW CAB BLACK & WHITE CAB CO.

Need- less to say, that status is not noted for its safety and security. Another area of frustration for law enforce- ment is the small impact a conviction has upon a gang member or the gang as a whole. Going up on a murder beef and being sentenced to the "pinta" (prison) is nothing to them. A convicted Familia member still retains ties with the organization while in prison, and is very often greeted on arrival as a hero by the FUTURA CABINETS "We Build Our Business With Wood" Cabinets - Gondolas - Shelving Island and Wall Displays Peg Board Displays 2322 S.

But despite the little effect that imprisonment has upon gang members, conviction at least removes them from the streets for a while. Hopefully, we will be able to continue to curtail the Familia's activities to some degree by that method. The ultimate goal of law enforcement is to cripple the gangs by concentrating on arresting and convicting the top leaders, and thus creating a state of confusion within their ranks. Possibly, with- out effective leadership, disenchanted mem- bers would be less afraid to leave the organi- zation, or to cooperate with law enforcement. Whether or not the Familia and the Mexi- can Mafia can continue to terrorize each other and their own members, and at the same time be a threat to the peace and safety of society as a whole, depends on the extent to which law enforcement can keep in touch with their activities and mobility, and the ability to accumulate necessary evidence for convictions when crimes are committed. To do the job properly an agency must be able and willing to devote a great deal of manpower and resources to the task, for it is virtually a full time job. To fail to make such an all -out commitment may result in this new wave of criminal violence continuing to expand, and being a threat to the community for years to come. INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO.

Belmont Steve & Art Carpentier Fresno, Calif. 93702 Spouses' Orientation Program by Charles Moushigian, M.S.W. Counselor, Fresno County Sheriff's Dept. "San Diego Police May Get Psychiatric Help "; "Women Learn How To Love Policemen Mates "; "Stress Is Taking Its Toll On Police Officers." These and similar headlines in newspapers and magazines point up the con- cern regarding the effects of police work on individual officers, their marriages, and their families. There is no question that police work does have a profound impact on an officer's personality and his relations with others. Some of these changes are due to the narrow (usually negative) slice of life to which the officer is exposed. Changes are also caused by variable and odd working hours which disrupt normal family, marital, and social life, and yet others by a police "culture" which generates and reinforces a certain way of looking at the world, fostering values which sometimes ali- enate officers from themselves, their families, and the restof the world, encouraginga form of inwardness and inbreeding. The job in itself causes certain, predictable stresses which are produced to some degree in each officer in spite of individual personality differences. Because of this, this department feels an obligation to minimize (they cannot be entirely eliminated) some of these stresses, both to give support to officers and their families, and to safeguard the public, for the officer wields a great deal of discretionary power —even over life and death. As part of the total program (which needs to be further expanded) which includes psycho- logical screening of applicants and confiden- tial counseling services for officers and their families, the department in 1977 began an orientation program for the spouses of officers. Spouses could be either wives or husbands. However, all of our participants to this time have been wives. The program is intended to give spouses a comprehensive orientation to the functions and operations of the Sheriff's De- partment. In addition, we intend that the program stimulate awareness of the stresses to which law enforcement personnel and their families are subject, and by the sharing of experiences and problems learn new ways of coping with these problems. Our program is based on the experiences of other similar programs, primarily that of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

A frank and open discussion and questioning is encouraged. II. A comprehensive tour of the jail facilities and an informative tour and explanation of the communications center. III.

A panel composed of a wife of an officer who has been employed by the department for a long time, a wife of an officer who has been employed for a short time, and a male officer present afrank discussion of their experiences. They share the problems they have met and their successes and failures in meeting those problems. VI. There is a four -hour meeting dealing with firearms use and safety. A portion of this meeting is actual shooting of handguns, under supervision. We have discovered that many wives not only do not know how to handle a handgun properly, but in many cases are afraid or terrified of guns. This is potentially a dangerous situation, since the officer not only has his service weapon at home, but in many cases possesses other privately owned weapons. VII. There is a final wrap -up meeting devoted to questions, sharing impressions, evaluation of the program, and general feed- back. This meeting is attended by the Sheriff, one Assistant Sheriff, and the Counselor. We have been pleased that the spouses of our KENNEDY LUMBER CO.

Since the inception of this program five groups have attended our orientation meet- ings. The first two groups were composed of wives of officers who had been with the Department for some time. The subsequent three groups were composed primarily of wives of recently hired officers. Future classes will be primarily for the spouses of new employees, but will also be open to any spouse of an officer, no matter how long with the Department, who has an interest in the program. Our experience so far has led us to believe that this program has been successful and that it should be continued. Most of the participants have felt that they gained a better, more realistic and appreciative understanding of the Department and their husbands' work. As a consequence, communication with their hus- bands has opened. and there has been a more firm committment to coping with the stresses ROSE'S CAFE BEER —POOL 1201 E.

Relationships with the children? The odd hours? These are just a few of the barrage of questions we get from new wives at our department. We don't pretend to know all the answers, or that the answers we do give are correct. We do know, however, that the wife is a very important person in relation to the type of attitude with which her husband leaves home to do his job as a law enforcement officer. To help us better understand the problem and give more definite answers, among the many projects SPICE has been involved with is the Orientation Program. After interviewing a number of wives who found time in their busy schedules to attend the program, we found that all had good remarks about it. The program ran for seven weeks. It included a session with the Sheriff and the Assistant Sheriffs; a tour of the department facilities including the jail; self defense; how to use a firearm properly; and, last but not least, some of the wives were fortunate enough to ride along with a deputy on regular patrol. The wives remarked that the whole program gave them a better insight regarding their husbands' jobs. It made the wife more aware of the importance of her understanding when her husband comes home in a low mood after a frustrating day testifying in court, or when he learns he has failed to make the promotional list he's worked so hard to get a slot on. She learned to smile and encourage him instead of merely echoing his bitterness. For a wife who had never even held a gun in her hand, learning to shoot her husband's firearm was fascinating. She learned how difficult it is to hold it steady on the target, how the recoil feels, and becomes familiar enough with the weapon that it is no longer regarded as merely a somewhat sinister IT I M 'a GUARD INSULATION WE MONEY ON HEATING & COOLING INSULATE NOW!

Among the wives who were permitted to ride in a patrol car, the most frequent comment was that it was very informative and interesting, and that it put the final touches on an excellent program.

We are not saying that the orientation program will be the perfect guideline, that it will provide the solutions to any problems that might arise in a law enforcement family's relationships within the home and marriage, or that it has all the answers. But itdoes give all of us a little more knowledge regarding the jobs our husbands do, and with whom or what they have to deal. As one wife put it, "If you love this man who works the crazy hours, who can't count on getting the day off you want, and who comes home from day to day in a different mood, you learn to cope. You become more aware of the underlying causes of his prob- lems, you are more involved, and above all, you are as dedicated as he is to having law enforcement as a way of life." Although it was intended to help them as much as the wives, the program was not readily accepted at first by some of the husbands.

They soon learned, however, by discussion with other officers, that communication between spouse and officer improved after the wife had participated in the program. As police agencies in California go, we are considered a large department. It was hard for us to believe that our divorce rate is higher than that of an even larger department in southern California. Perhaps that can be at least partially attributed to the fact that that department has had an orientation and ride - along program for spouses for some time, and statistics show their divorce rate has declined since the inception of the program. We realize our program will not solve this problem immediately. But maybe, just maybe, it will assist the law enforcement family to remain together, with communication and understanding.

VIERRA COMPANY San Joaquin Valley Distributors Trimmer Power Lawn Mowers 2531 E. McKinley Ave. 266 -0582 Saved by a Timely Crash by Jim Hamilton A novice pilot and his passenger mirac- ulously escaped injury early this spring in an apparent attempt to cross the Sierras by flying The canyon at Horseshoe Bend, which the pair successfully negotiated, flying not more than a few hundred feet above the roadway from which this photo was taken. A I _" �. T AIR,•. � Their relief was short - lived, however. A short distance around the bend one wing tip struck a tree, and they made a forced landing into the icy snow water. 119 up the Kings River Canyon, in a very light airplane not designed or powered for any type of high altitude flight. Coming out of Horseshoe Bend the canyon widens, no doubt causing the intrepid aviators to assume that the worst was behind them. Fortunately for them, where they landed the river is relatively wide, shallow, and smooth. They were able to make their way to shore and walk away. i �•qo AL- - - rte . - : Unfortunately for them, they were observed _ by workers who had just cleared debris from a mudslide on Highway 180 not far away. The Sheriff's Department was notified, and a subsequent investigation revealed that the �+ airplane had been stolen from Lincoln, in — «•� Placer County north of Sacramento. The fliers _ were arrested not far from the crash site, but because no one had actually seen them getting out of the airplane, concrete evidence of their having been in it was needed to prove e-a theft case in court. Fearing that any evidence in the craft would be obliterated in a salvage at- tempt, it was decided to process it before it was moved.

Here, left, dressed in his wet suit, he prepares to enter the water, with his processing equipment protected by the plastic bag in his left hand. - r 01. « Having entered several yards upstream, he holds the safety rope in one hand and the plastic bag in the other, and lets the current carry him toward the airplane, which hasn't been moved by the current because the landing gear is caught on boulders. 121 Adjacent to the craft Paul stands on a boulder and prepares to climb aboard.

Blackstone 222 -1022 122 The Federal Aviation Administration later reported that the only record they could find of either of the suspects having flying experience was that one of them had been issued a student pilot permit two years ago. There was no record of how much training or experience he'd actually had. But it was obvious he hadn't flown long enough to learn the lesson so frequently expounded by the experienced mountain pilots of the Sheriff's Air Squad- ron —never fly up a canyon. They were very fortunate their crash occurred when and at the place it did. Had they proceeded upstream a few miles farther, they would have encoun- tered almost perpendicular granite walls sev- eral thousand feet high, with not enough power to climb over them, nor room to turn around.

This group came into being a couple of years ago, when a local rancher who is a friend of Deputy Lee Nilmeier told him he and a few other ranchers of his acquaintance would be glad to help out on search and rescue whenever they were needed. The offer ap- peared interesting, and the group was as- sembled for further discussion. The Prescription Pharmacy Free Delivery We are in Business for your Health Thomas Fowler 745 N.

They merely were offering their services in case they were needed in their particular specialty. That seemed a fair offer, for while we don't need horsemen very often, when we do we need them badly, and then often find arranging for them somewhat difficult. We explained that they'd have to be deputized in order for the county to assume liability for any injuries or damage to equipment incurred RICO'S HAIR FASHIONS 3049 E.

We added that they'd be expected to par- ticipate in an occasional training mission to learn how to work with other units. They liked our conditions as well as we liked their offer, and the unit was organized late in 1976. In its less than two years of existence the Posse has enthusiastically participated in two or three major training sessions, and has rendered valuable service in several actual searches. They have more than lived up to their pledge to always have men and horses available whenever needed. CIRCLE W APPLIANCE CO. Major Repair on Westinghouse Only 2005 E.

Academy, Sanger d/i ) -61 UY ORANGE COVE POLICE DEPARTMENT A Year of Change by Patrolman Ken McKinney 1977 was a year of changes for the Orange Cove Police Department. It all started with the retirement of Chief James Tackett in June. Chief Tackett had devoted over 30 years to law enforcement, and we were all sorry to see him go. In August Bobby Chapman was appointed Chief of Police. Unfortunately, after just a short time, Chief Chapman also left us, for medical reasons. Following Chief Chapman's departure there was a period of three months in which the department was left with only five officers to provide the city with police protection on a 24- hours -a -day basis. Officer Richard Rosenthal, an ex- sergeant from Reedley Police Depart- ment, was appointed to act as the department head until a new chief could take command. During his tenure as acting chief he initiated the first long term Reserve Police program in the history of Orange Cove. This included the hiring of ten reserve police officers to supple- ment the very small regular force already serving the community of approximately 4,000 citizens. During the month of November a new Chief of Police was appointed to take command of the department, which was by then up to six regular officers, ten reserve officers, and five dispatchers. Guy L. Floyd, a veteran of eighteen years in law enforcement, came to Orange Cove from the Santa Barbara Police Department, where he had been a sergeant in the training program. With him he brought along many new ideas and plans for changes. It didn't take him long to begin putting his ideas into effect. The first change came in the form of a new and complete change of image. We went from white patrol vehicles to the more traditional black and white. We than changed our uniforms from the old tan shirt and green pants to the solid blue uniforms. Our most recent change has been in the badge that we wear. No doubt there are many more changes yet to come, and we will welcome them. We realize that law enforcement is an ever - growing and changing profession. Changes initiated so far in 1978 include the start of development of plans for a new police facility, and the LOMBARDO LAKE RESORT ON PINE FLAT LAKE • Motel Units `" • MARINA Air Conditioned •Inboard &Outboard • Cabana Area Fuel • Groceries T'T - • '' • Trailer Court • Cafe ,�L. •Patio Boat Rentals For Reservations 787 -2207 or Write 32451 Trimmer Springs Rd., Sanger, CA. 93657 147 ORANGE COVE POLICE DEPARTMENT Orange Cove Police Department, left to ; ight: Sue Hawkins, Dispatcher, Matron; Pam Costello, Dispatcher, Matron; Olive Neihart, Dispatcher, Matron; Lew Ceja, Patrolman; Don Ott, Patrolman; Guy L.

Chief Anaya's goal was to develop an experience- oriented program for high school students interested in a possible career in law enforcement. With the cooperation of the Parlier Unified School District, the Police Cadet Program hasevolved academically, allowing unit credit to students participating. In 1977 when Chief Anaya was promoted from sergeant he assigned School Resource Officer Ben Tamez as supervisor of the cadet program. This year all cadets were offered classroom instruction in areas ranging from radio code and dispatching to patrol and observation techniques. Police cadets are also permitted to participate in the "ride along" 834 -3720 aw'R,� r I' �/ Custom Welding and Mfg. 7400 E. Manning Ave., Fowler M. O.

The cadets also serve their high school by patrolling athletic events, dances, graduation ceremonies, etc. Vandalism and thefts from parked vehicles at such events has been reduced considerably as a result of alert cadets on foot patrol. One of the most essential services of the cadets is base station communications opera- tions. Before the cadet program was instituted Parlier P.D. lacked 24 -hour dispatching. Most calls, especially at night, were chanelled through the Sheriff's Department. Today, with the additional cadet manpower, Parlier P.D. handles about 90% of its local calls indepen- dently. Each cadet is trained by SRO Tamez on PARLIER POLICE DEPARTMENT the basic elements of telephone answering, running registration and warrant checks, and unit dispatching. Most cadets receive stipends made possible through Youth Manpower Ser- vices, the Fresno County Migrant Education Program, and the Parlier Unified School District. The Police Department offers $100 Johnny Martinez Memorial scholarships to assist am- bitious cadets, upon their graduation from high school, who wish to pursue a degree in any area of the law enforcement field. Thanks to the excellent cooperation of the superinten- dent, Dr. Leo Cardona, and the high school principal, Mr. Marco Sigala, the Parlier Police Cadet Program is providing Parlier youth an opportunity to become part of an essential profession —law enforcement.

KERMAN, CALIF.93630 KERMAN POLICE DEPARTMENT What's New at Kerman Police Department? by Jim Van Cleaf Chief of Police About the Author: Chief Van Cleaf holds a Masters Degree in Public Administration from California State University of Sacramento and has undertaken doctoral work at the University of California, Riverside and the University of Southern California. He entered law enforce- ment in 1967 with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Change Has Come to the Kerman Police Department The progress made in professional law enforcement in recent years has passed up this twelve - member department. More emphasis placed on external training programs by P.O.S.T. only meant that the Kerman Police Department was slipping further behind. How does a new Chief of Police with big city law enforcement experience promote change without disrupting the level of services or adversely affecting morale? BAKER COMMODITIES, INC.

He left Los Angeles to continue college studies and joined the Palm Springs Police Department upon his completion of graduate school. He has worked patrol, detec- tives, planning and research, and personnel training before coming to the Kerman Police Department. Solicit Input He must first establish a need for change by soliciting input from people in the know. The County Sheriff, local magistrate, community members, city officials, and the officers them- selves can all be considered "people in the know." The question "What's good about the police department and what's bad about the police department" will bring both general and specific responses. Each response must be viewed from the perspective "Does he or she Bio -Pak Fruit Co.

Box 205 843 -2891 846 -8887 Biola have an axe to grind ?" Persons who have lost their objectivity need not be discounted en- tirely, but must be placed in the proper perspective. The members of the police department have to be involved in the change process every step of the way. They may not agree with the change but they have to feel confident that the changes are promulgated with fairness and equity. Fortunately for the small town Police Chief P.O.S.T. provides a management survey free of charge through their Management Services Division. The survey can be specific and zero in on a particular facet of the operation or it can provide a systems analysis of the entire police department with recommendations for change. The groundwork had been laid by the City Administrator for a P.O.S.T. Management survey to be undertaken, and P.O.S.T. consul- tants were in touch with me by telephone a month before I was to "come on board" as the new Police Chief. They recommended that the survey be performed as soon as possible prior to my arrival. The thoughtwas that if the changes recommended involved any "sacred cows" the pressure brought to bear on the Chief, if any, would be lessened. Another consideration was a real one. Dur- ing the first month or so on the job the new Chief would not be familiar enough with the operation of the police department to assist appreciably in the survey. Farmers— Secure in your presence.

The "Harvest Festival" was the first opportunity for the new Chief to either shine or fail miserably. Referred to as "our riot last year," the Harvest Festival represented a severe drain on manpower and equipment. The first change to take place was for the Police Department to accept responsibility for the policing of the Festival.

With the Festival now history, a set of priori- ties had to be established. The tendency to rely too heavily on the P.O.S.T. Management sur- vey had to be overcome. A basic tenet of systems analysis is to become thoroughly familiar with the system before undertaking a recommenda- tion for change. Develop Priorities Two sets of priorities were developed. One dealt with those changes necessary either to bring the department into conformity with law to include P.O.S.T. regulations or reduce a liability. The other set of priorities dealt with those changes that were necessary to facilitate the organizational development of the depart- ment. There was a federal grant position in its third year entitled "Burglary Prevention- Commun- ity Relations - Juvenile Resource Officer." The thrust of the third year grant was to be juvenile diversion. An officer was selected who was experienced as a patrol officer and had been active in a local Boy Scout pack.

Range Training The officers had all been issued a9MM pistol but had not been trained by a qualified instruc- tor in its care, maintenance or firing. If an officer were to become involved in a shooting prior to training, the liability potential would be great. The Department's first training class was held at the Sheriff's Range, where each officer qualified with his duty weapon after classroom instruction. Budget The budget became a working document. Everything from materials and supplies to tires for the patrol cars had to be "prioritized" for expenditure. Two patrol cars had been driven more than 100,000 miles and repre- sented a safety hazard. The-one-year-old patrol cars offered for sale by the California Highway Patrol allowed an affordable short range solution to a real problem. FLOYD'S TUNE -UP 13045 S. Elm (Elm & Mt.

Tahoe, Caruthers 864 -3181 160 Policies and Procedures Written policies and procedures had to be developed. A shooting policy was written in line with that of the Fresno County Sheriff's Department. A press policy was drafted that let each officer know what information could and could not be released to the press by law. There was a basic question about the integrity of the evidence confiscated in Kerman during years previous that mandated strict written procedures. There was a need for a system of communica- tion between the Chief of Police and the officers other than just written memoranda. A training day was designated once a week. The schedule had to be adjusted in order to place all the officers on duty on the designated training day. Once committed to a schedule adjustment for the training day, the entire schedule was re- aligned to match calls for service. Two needs had been met: information was disseminated at the weekly training meetings and man- power was deployed to correlate to peak times.

Training Needs Assessment In order for training to be meaningful it has to be on target. A training -needs assessment was conducted in its simplest form. Each officer was asked to list on one side of a 3" x 5" card all areas of personal training deficiencies. On the flip side he was asked to list all areas of his peers' training deficiencies. Based on the responses and personal observa- tions of the officers, a training calendar was devised. Local resources such as the CHP were asked to lecture on traffic accident reporting; the DOJ, Regional Lab was asked to instruct in crime scene preservation; and the Fresno County Narcotics Task Force lectured on narcotics influence.

Once budgetary considerations for external training were behind us the only concern that remained was shift coverage. As long as there was a "give and take" attitude among the officers "creative scheduling" al- lowed a master external training schedule to be developed. A master training schedule is good for two reasons: One, it allows the administrator to visualize where the police department will be with respect to training in one year. And it provides a morale boost if the officers can see that there is personal attention being given to their particular training needs. Getting the Job Done In line with the policies and procedures mentioned earlier are countless minor changes that affect the overall operation of the depart- ment. A police department needs an accurate statistical base. It is difficult, if not impossible, to measure productivity crime rate compari- CARUTHERS PUMP, INC.

Guidelines have to be established and the clerical staff has to be convinced of the need for accuracy. An accurate statistical base can come about only if there is a monitoring of crime reports to ensure that the corpus delicti is satisfied for the crimes listed on the face sheet. Initially there has to be a strict scrutinizing of all reports in order to get a handle on the City's crime problem. In line with an accurate statistical base and accurate crimes recorded is the use of a "Daily Activity Report," commonly referred to as an officer's log. The log is an invaluable management tool that allows an administrator to draw a correla- tion between the activities of the officers and the crimes committed. An obvious example would be if an officer recorded that he spent the majority of his time in the downtown area which reported little crime activity and during Frank Santos Dairy FRANLANE HOLSTEINS 867 -3849 224.19 ELDER RIVERDALE COMPLIMENTS OF A. F. MENDES & SON DAIRY 867 -3816 22700 So. Cornelia Ave. Riverdale 162 the same hours there were a series of residen- tial burglaries. Of course, the log has to be scrupulously maintained or it serves no useful purpose. Countless clerical hours were saved by adopting a "one- write" report system. The officers were instructed to take greater care in the preparation of reports. The clerical staff was freed from the task of retyping each and every report written by the patrol and investi- gations officers. The extra clerical time al- lowed modifications to a record system that was not in conformity to Penal Code and Government Code sections dealing with the maintenance of police records. The one -write system, in order to be success- ful, has to be handled in phases: Phase One could be limited to misdemeanor and miscel- laneous reports. During Phase One particular attention can be paid to neatness, legibility, grammar and punctuation. Phase Two can be the addition of felony crime reports and investigative follow -up reports to the "one - write" system.

Disheveled uniforms and dirty police cars can turn off even the staunchest supporter of law enforcement. The Kerman Police Officers were essentially in agreement that their uniform appearance could be improved. An officer was assigned to study alternatives to the Kerman police uni- form, which then consisted of hopsack brown trousers and a tan shirt. The uniform patch was a plain gold star set on a cloth background with "Kerman Police" embroidered on it. The officer designed a patch with the City Seal and multiple colors of blue, green and gold. The patch alone improved the appear- ance of the uniform. For two weeks one officer wore a tan uniform similar to that of the California Highway Patrol without the trouser stripe. Also, for two weeks under field conditions the same officer wore a blue uniform identical to that of the Los Angeles Police Department.

The officer who wore the uniforms commented on heat retention, soil resistance and comfort. Almost unanimously the com- munity and the officers chose the blue uniform. The image of the police department goes far beyond the appearance of the officers. Past impressions, both positive and negative, linger on. Attitudes, once formed, require a prepon- ponderance of evidence before they can be changed. The Kerman Police Department is fortunate that the officers 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 per cent effort in the applications of their duties has not gone unnoticed by the community. The fear or apprehension of "being beefed for doing your job" is gone. A sense of fairness and equity is applied to all persons. The transient is afforded the same courtesy and discretion as is the local notable. LINDA VISTA FARMS RIVERDALE A well -known police administrator once said, in effect, that in order for an officer to do his job he must be insulated from politics. There has to be a buffer between the officer and political pressure. A Chief of Police can serve as that buffer. Long and Short Range Planning The Kerman Police Department has accom- plished its six -month goals during a time when change could have been viewed as a threat to the stability of the organization. It should be evident to all concerned, namely the community and the department members, that with change can come a sense of purpose and vitality, and greater service. The Kerman Police Department is well on its way to being regarded as a good small town law enforce- ment agency, one that is accepted by the community it serves and one that evokes a sense of pride among its officers.

A NYPUM (National Youth Program Using Mini - bikes) group has been organized and supervised by Captain Gongora. The group is comprised of juveniles who have been involved in minor violations of the law. Each member is provided a mini -bike to ride each time they meet, and is taught to properly care for it and keep it in good working order. The group has taken several field trips with Captain Gongora, taking along the mini -bikes for an added adventure. The original group of mini -bikes were provided by the YMCA, and repairs and needed replacements have been financed by donations from local businessmen, and by money earned by the members in group fund raising projects.

Programs called "Las Madrinas," for girls, and "Los Padrinos," for boys, have been very active for the past three years, providing counseling for youngsters on a one to one basis. Las Madrinas is headed by Lana Street, and Los Padrinos by Chief Orosco. Participants are youngsters who feel their problems are insur- mountable and who need someone to "rap" with when the going gets tough. They are encour- aged to call or drop by home or office anytime they feel the need, or because they simply feel like it. They soon become regular visitors and very good friends.

They are now busy organ- izing a boxing club to teach kids the general principles and sportsmanship of boxing. A Girls Club was initiated in 1976 by the dispatchers to interest more of the girls in the community. The club, in addition to being a recreational organization, also teaches home- making skills.

As a further source of support, a moto- cross track is now in the final stages of completion. Professional racing will be con- ducted at this track and a portion of the proceeds will go to the youth clubs of Huron. The Huron Police Department also has two school resource officers who are very active in working with the youngsters in school, and with their teachers. They give speeches and demonstrations, and are very popular with students, parents, and social groups. Since the initiation of these youth programs, the crime rate involving juveniles has de- creased by 75 %. All of us at the Huron P. D. hope the feelings of closeness between youth, community, and the police department that we now have, will continue to grow and flourish for the betterment of the growing community.

As much as big time agribusiness contributes to the economy, however, it is not always an unmixed blessing, as the city's population is reminded each time there is a heavy rain. Farming operations have altered the natural drainage of water from the Coast Range foothills, and much of it ends up, not in the Whitesbridge Slough or the San Joaquin River, but in the city itself. Due to the heavier than normal rainfall of the past season, the resources of the police department and other city agencies have been strained almost to the limit in coping with the situation. It seemed that about the time all the water was pumped out, and the sandbags removed, another storm came along and the whole job had to be done over again. At one time three police vehicles were out of service due to water damage to the engines, and the Department had to borrow a ESOLA & PERKINS DISPOSAL SERVICE 659 -2501 9740 N. Dos Palos, Firebaugh 173 vehicle from the Sheriff's Department until they were repaired. Late in 1977 the large previously unincor- porated area known as East Mendota was taken into the city, significantly adding to the Police Department's problems. It has been a high crime rate area for many years, primarily because of its distance from Fresno, and the fact that the Sheriff's Department has not had sufficient resources to provide a level of patrol surveillance and other police services neces- sary to keep the criminal element under control. Hopefully, with the Police Department now having jurisdiction they will be in a position to keep a close watch on the area, making it a more desirable home neighborhood for the many law abiding citizens who live there. Among the more positive developments of the past year was the acquisition of a new advanced communications system.

Chief Sanchez and his officers express sincere appreciation for the cooperation and help of nearby police agencies, the California High- way Patrol units from Fresno, Coalinga, and Los Banos, the Firebaugh and Kerman Police Departments, and the Fresno, Madera, and Merced County Sheriff's Departments. Ser- geant Vernon Banta commends the Fresno County Sheriff's Department for its assistance in firearms training, and for assistance and just plain neighborliness in other matters. He cites as an example one occasion when he was working in the photo lab preparing photos which had to be ready for presentation in court the next day, when he ran out of proper chemicals.

A few minutes later the lieutenant called back to say he hadn't been able to locate the proper chemicals in the Sheriff's Department lab. However, he had made arrangements to obtain them from the Fresno Police Depart- ment, and would, through a series of relays, have them transported to Mendota. Within an hour Banta had his chemicals, completed processing the photos, and with them obtained a conviction in court the next day. A minor incident, perhaps, but it serves to illustrate how, in getting the law enforcement job done, personal cooperation between individual offi- cers is just as important as official cooperation between departments. No one understands that better than the officers of the Mendota Police Department. Three Rocks Cafe & Dept.

Because of the great concern over the numerous drownings which occur each year, and recognizing that 1978 may be particu- larly bad, because of the overabundance of water in Fresno County waterways, a water safety program for the public schools has been initiated.

Box 198 Cantua Creek, California The program gives the children an idea of how many people die in the waterways of Fresno County each year, and explains that most such tragedies could have been pre- vented if only those people had used common sense. The point is made that the victims did not plan to drown, but just didn't think. Had they taken a few simple precautions, such as wearing personal flotation devices when boat- ing or swimming in swift current or rough or unfamiliar waters, waiting two hours after eating before entering the water, or heeding simple suggestions on boating safety, they probably would not have drowned. Both students and faculty were impressed with how simple it is to save someone's life without actually having to go into the water, if one is aware of what will float. They were told to try anything; something nearby will prob- ably float. Some simple techniques can be very effective, and can be used by virtually anyone in an attempt to accomplish a successful rescue.

Sergeant Jack An- derson had jokingly discussed plans to re- tire for so long that even after it was offi- cially announced early last summer, some of his colleagues still did not quite believe it. He was serious this time, - I however, and his re- tirement was effective on July 29, ending 27 years of service which began January 1, 1950. Jack was born in Fresno, attended Morris Dailey Elementary School, Washington Junior High, and Roosevelt and Fresno Tech High Schools. After graduation in 1942 he worked a few months as a clerk for Safeway Stores, and as a machinist's helper in the Kaiser Ship- yards. In December of that year he entered the United States Army, volunteered for para- troop training, and served until November of 1945. Shortly after discharge he went to work in the Ace Service tire shop as a vulcanizer, later was promoted to shop foreman, and remained there until he joined the Sheriff's Department. Over the years Jack saw service in nearly every division and unit in the Department, but most of his career was in the Special Investiga- tions Detail, beginning back when narcotics was developing into a major problem for law enforcement, and in the Detective Division. For several years prior to retirement he was the sergeant in charge of the Checks and Fraud Detail. Senior Criminolo- gist Albert D. Flores wound up a 21 -year career with the De- partment on last Sep- tember 23. He was appointed a deputy sheriff in 1956. He was born in Austin, New Mexico, but came to Fresno as a small child.

After joining the Sheriff's Department he attended Fresno City College, and was gradu- ated and awarded an Associate of Arts Degree in 1969. He also took courses through the University of California at Davis, California State University at Long Beach, and various other institutions offering training in his specialty. Following normal tours of duty as jail officer, bailiff, and patrolman, Al was assigned to the Technical Services Section, where he spent the remainder of his career. In 1975 he was promoted to the newly created position of Senior Criminologist, where he supervised other criminologists in the technical search of crime scenes, and the collection, preservation, and analysis of physical evidence.

George was born in Fowler, attended Bowles Elementary School, Fowler High School, and a trade school where he studied to be an auto- motive electrician. He worked at that trade from 1938 until he entered the United States Army in 1941. He was in military service throughout World War II, and after discharge in 1945 he went into the trucking business. A year or so later he switched to the service station business, and he operated a station in Del Rey until he joined the Sheriff's Depart- ment. Most of George's Department service was in the Jail Division. Before the creation of the Correctional Officer position a few years ago, the jail was the basic training academy for all new deputies. Nearly all of them began their careers there, and stayed only until vacancies in other divisions moved them along to bailiff. It therefore was of tremendous value to the Department to have an officer willing to remain in a jail assignment indefinitely.

FRESNO George's thorough knowledge of every phase of jail operational procedure, gained over years of experience, was invaluable in providing a stabilizing influence amidst constant turnover of personnel, and in giving to new officers their first taste of on- the -job training. George was the last regular deputy to work in the jail before it was completely staffed with Correctional Officers. He was transferred to the Patrol Division late in 1976, and served as Vehicle Maintenance and Equipment Officer until his retirement. Deputy James H.

For the next few years he worked as a printer for a Berkeley newspaper, and then was employed in shipyards in Richmond during World War II. After the war he worked for several years in oil fields in the Taft area, before moving to Reedley in 1948. In 1950 Jim joined the Reedley Police Department, where he served with integrity and distinction until February of 1957. He then became constable for the Reedley Judicial District. In 1973, when the constables and their deputies became a part of the Sheriff's Depart- ment, Jim was appointed to the rank of sergeant, and assigned to the Patrol Division. For a few years he continued to serve the Reedley Justice Court and the surrounding area, performing much the same duties he had as a constable. In 1975, in a major re- organization of the Patrol Division, Jim was offered the assign- ment as Supervising Sergeant for the South- east Sector, comprising most of the Reedley Judicial District and all of the Dunlap Judicial ALBINO CONCRETE CO.

However, he preferred to remain in an assignment where his chief duties would be acting as bailiff in the justice court and serving civil processes. He therefore voluntarily re- quested a reduction in rank, so he could complete his career doing a job he thoroughly enjoyed. As he explained his request, "I like what I'm doing; I like the people I work and come in contact with around the court; and I have just a couple of years to go before retire- ment. Why should I take on an assignment I might not like ?" Such keen insight into one's own inner feelings is rare and commendable.

She is such a modest, quiet, unassuming per- son that she may think her absence has not been noticed. Such is not the case, however, for her departure last June left a vacancy in the Accounting Section that has not been easily filled. Elma's career with the Department was in two segments. The first was from April 1956 to October 1957, when she worked as a typist clerk in the old Criminal Department. She resigned to assist her husband in his hardware business, and remained in that endeavor until 1964. In October of that year she returned to the Department, worked as a clerk in the Records and Identification Division for a few years, then transferred to the Civil Division.

Elma was a rarity among Department personnel in that she is a native of Fresno. She attended Kirk Elementary School, Edison High School, and was graduated from Fresno High. After graduation she attended the old Fresno Junior College, taking business courses, then worked for several years in the office of the family business, Diebert Packing Company. Sergeant Robert L. Miller's years of law enforcement service — almost 24 of them — began on October 1, 1953, and ended on July 31, 1977. He was born in Fresno, attend- ed Wolters Elementary School when it was a small rural school way out in the country west of Clovis, and was graduated from Clovis High School. From his father, who was a blacksmith, he learned to be a welder, and he worked at that trade for several years following graduation from high school. For a part of that time he worked for Fresno County as a welder at the County Shop.

He was an outspoken foe of the theory that criminals are poor, misguided souls who should be treated rather than punished; the exaggerated emphasis on the rights of the accused at the expense of victims of crimes and their rights; and all other forms of extreme liberalism so prevalent in most areas of today's criminal justice system. It may have been the frustration of trying to do an effective job in spite of such conflicting attitudes that brought about his decision to retire in the prime of his career. While he certainly earned the privilege of retiring early enough to enjoy many years of leisure, his leaving was tragic in a way. Law enforcement and the criminal justice system need more people like him. BROWNING- FERRIS INDUSTRIES OF CALIFORNIA, INC.

Montague's career in law enforcement began in 1956 when he be- came a part time dep- uty constable in the Parlier Judicial Dis- trict, where he served under Constable Ed Camino. A native of Parlier, he attended school there, and in 1941 joined the United States Army Air Force, where he was trained and served as an Aircraft Technician. He left the service in 1945 with the rank of sergeant, and for several years was in business for himself as a carpenter and painter. Before and during the time he was a deputy constable he was also a rural mail carrier in the Parlier area. The knowledge thus gained of the geography and demography of the area made him an extremely valuable source of informa- tion and an asset to the Sheriff's Department even before he became a member of it. When the constable's departments were consolidated with the Sheriff's Department in 1973, Bob became a deputy sheriff. He served in the Patrol Division as a field officer, justice court bailiff, and for a time as Vehicle Maintenance and Equipment Officer, until his retirement on December 13, 1977.

He was born in Fresno, attended Cal - wa Elementary School, t Fowler High School, and Fresno State Col- lege. He served in the Signal Corps of the United States Army in World War II, specializing in the then -new fields of radar and electronics. After discharge Aram worked several sum- mers as a seasonal employee of the National Park Service in Yosemite, and in the winter worked in local department stores. For a few years immediately prior to joining the Sher- iff's Department he was a full time Park Ranger in charge of one of the entrance stations. For most of his 22 years with the Department Aram followed a second career of operating his parents' farm southeast of Fresno. For that reason he usually worked the evening watch so he could devote many of his daylight hours to his agricultural activities. In both divisions C.

Many of the more capable patrol officers of today, as well as a few sergeants and detec- tives, owe a great deal of the credit for their success to the on- the -job training Aram gave them early in their careers. To a more limited degree, Aram is still providing exemplary service to the people of Fresno County. After retirement he found he missed the patrol routine so much that he joined the Patrol Reserve Unit, and now spends several evenings per month voluntarily doing the same job for which he was paid for many years. t T, Brown's Floral Shop n_� When you think of Flowers think of Brown's TELEPHONE 233 -4473 909 WEST BELMONT AVE.

After considerable experience in the field he was assigned as Desk Officer for quite some time. Later he served in the Coroner's Bureau, where his calmness and patience, and his innate courtesy and consider- ation for the feelings of others helped many times to lessen the shock and ease the pain suffered by someone who had just learned of the death of a loved one. At the time of retirement Walt had been in the Detective Division for several years, spe- cializing in livestock and related thefts and burglaries. In that capacity he worked closely with state brand inspectors and livestock investigators from other departments. So well respected was he in that association that officers from as far away as Bakersfield and Sacramento attended his retirement luncheon. Walt is an avid horseman, and was active in the Sheriff's Posse. He has a small ranch east of Fresno, where he will devote much of his retirement time to tending a fine grove of almonds.

Ten years before he had joined the Department as a Stock Clerk.

An idea of the scope of his duties can be obtained from this memo accompanying the most recent request for an upward re- classifi- cation: "The jail budget includes accounts totalling close to half a million dollars for items of supply and maintenance. Yet the jail command staff is traditionally composed of persons with an exclusively law enforcement background, with no training or experience in supply management, inventory control, pur- WUNSTELL'S PAINTING Guaranteed Custom Lacquer — Baked Enamel 4759 E.

It is there- fore very important that there be a qualified person to advise the command staff in handling those accounts; to exercise proper control in the use of items purchased; and to assist in planning and administering the overall bud- get.

He'd been successful in the wholesale hardware business before joining the Department. Bob was born in Watertown, South Dakota, where he attended elementary and high school. Later he studied business administration at the University of South Dakota. In 1940 he entered the United States Army, and served in Aus- tralia and the South Pacific throughout World War II. He was discharged in 1945 with the rank of First Lieutenant. He worked for the Thomson -Diggs Company out of Sacramento and Fresno, and the California Hardware Company out of Los Angeles before joining the Department in September of 1967.

This is the story of one particular aspect of police criminal photo- graphy and how it evolved. Admittedly it is a spotty and incomplete chronicle, but perhaps it will generate more research on this little - known subject. We are not concerned here with the specifics of how police identification methods evolved —the branding and mutilation of colonial times through modern fingerprinting techniques —nor will we go into other phases of criminal photography. Our interest here is with the systematic collection of criminal portraits for identification purposes which since at least the 1850s has been referred to as... The Rogue's Gallery by William B. Secrest Vidocq was his name and he was a thief, jailbird and scoundrel. He was also the world's first police detective whose achievements daz- zled the likes of Balzac, Dumas, and Victor Hugo. Tradition has him the prototype for both Jean Valjean and his nemesis, Javert, in Hugo's Les Miserables. In Napoleon's day he was the proverbial legend in his own time and even if we believe only half of his self - recorded adventures, he was a remarkable man. Francois - Eugene Vidocq was born in Arras, France, about 1775. He turned to crime during an adventurous youth and served several terms in the galleys. After a criminal career of some years he offered his services to the Paris police in 1809 and through his knowledge of criminal behavior and methods, was extremely success- ful as an undercover operative. Vidocq was soon placed in charge of the Surete, a group of detective police engaged primarily in investigative work. Employing other criminals in his strike force, Vidocq achieved an unparalleled record of arrests and made the streets of Paris safer than they had been for a long time. This was the initial appearance of one of the most glamorous and dramatic figures in his- tory —the detective. From Poe's Dupin to Thomas Byrnes and Sherlock Holmes; from the Pinkertons to Philip Marlowe —all had their inception in the facile mind of a master criminal turned lawman — Vidocq. But even more important than the idea of the detective were the innovations inspired by this new police organization. Besides maintaining undercover operatives in prison, utilizing the JUBIL FARMS, INC. CANTUA CREEK, CALIFORNIA 201 1 1 art of disguise and developing dossiers and records of criminals and their techniques, Vidocq began collecting descriptive drawings of noted criminals for future reference. In all probability this was the world's first police mug book —a collection of lawbreakers some- day to be known as a "Rogue's Gallery." Vidocq's methods became widely known, even in his own time, but particularly after the publication of his memoirs in 1828. Besides inspiring notable French writers of his time, Vidocq was said to have been the inspiration for the detective novels of Edgar Allen Poe. England established its own metropolitan police in 1829, and its detective unit, Scotland Yard, in 1842. One of the earliest printed references to the new plainclothes officers was in an English journal which referred to the new "detective police." By 1846 the Boston police force had a three man detective group. Photography was invented in 1839 and its practical applications other than as an art form were quickly recognized.

Even more important, a German newspaper reported the following in November of 1841: "The Paris Police now have Daguerreo- types of all of the features of the criminals passing through its hands and attaches these portraits to the respective reports. When set free and suspected of a new crime, the portrait is shown to all police officers who soon seek out their man. Daguerre certainly never dreamed that his art would be used for such a purpose." In the early 1840s criminals were also reported as being photographed by the police in both Belgium and England. This new identification device was quickly conveyed to the United States as evidenced by an article in the Philadelphia Public Ledger in November of 1841: FRITZ CAMPBELL LANSCAPING & DESIGN State Lic. #313699 ESTIMATES GLADLY GIVEN 439 -5440 ATEK CONSTRUCTION CO.

MOTEL DR. (At Herndon) • FRESNO "Daguerreotyping Criminals When a discovery has been made in science, there is no telling at the time to what useful purpose it may afterwards be applied. The beautiful process invented by Daguerre of painting with sunbeams has been recently applied to aid the police in suppressing crime. When any suspicious person or criminal is arrested in France, the officers have him immediately Da- guerreotyped and he likewise is placed in the criminal cabinet for future reference. The rogues, to defeat this object, resort to contortions of the visage and the horrible grimaces." Despite this early use, police photography was utilized only sporadically and in a few scattered cities across Europe. It was to remain something of a novelty for many years before the exchange of police daguerreotypes and the practicality of such records were fully ac- cepted. Still, a Marseilles photographer named Dodero was pasting portraits on visiting cards in 1851 and predicting that someday both signatures and photographs would be required for identification. Just when criminal photography was intro- duced in this country is difficult to establish. Investigation seems to indicate that widely separated police departments were experi- menting with the new system at about the same time. Again, the custom seems to initially have been on a trial basis with criminals being photographed by a local photographer when- ever the police budget allowed. HN BROWN SIGNS REAL ESTATE SIGNS MAGNETIC SIGNS TRUCK LETTERING /DECALS CUT -OUT LETTERS (PLEX/WOOD) STRIPING 3362 E. BELMONT 204 Certainly the St. Louis Police Department was one of the first to adopt the new system. The Missouri Historical Society has a collec- tion of approximately 200 tintypes and ambro- types donated by the St. Louis police, the earliest print being dated 1857. If indeed the collection is made up entirely of "ambrotypes and tintypes" as reported, this helps to estab- lish a date since ambrotypes were first intro- duced in this country in 1854. Traditionally the system had been adopted by the St. Louis police earlier, in 1851, and a large frame which housed the collection was labeled with an even earlier date of 1843. But this seems unlikely. In any case it seems likely that the St. Louis police were Rogue's Gallery pioneers in this country. Allen Pinkerton was employed as Chicago's first detective in 1850 and is often given credit for establishing the Rogue's Gallery system in this country. His biographer's date of "about 1857" makes this also highly unlikely. A better claim for the honor can be made for a young San Francisco police detective named Isaiah Aluminum Screen & Door Co.

Not only was he the first detective in the far west, but he was one of the most re- markable officers in police history. Born in England in 1830, Lees came to this country as a child and travelled west with the gold rush of 1849. He joined the San Francisco police force in October of 1853 and within three weeks was appointed the department's first Assistant Captain of Detectives. Being a voracious reader, Lees might have gotten his ideas for a Rogue's Gallery and other scientific methods from reading the Vidocq memoirs. An article in the Alta on April 20, 1852, however, suggests his ideas originated more closely to home: "A GOOD IDEA —Capt. George W. Cas- serly of the Police Department has pro- vided a machine ... to take the height of all noted characters coming under his superintendence, and has also provided a well -bound book in which will be kept an exact description of the persons ... neces- sary to watch ...

The cost would be trifling, while the results might prove highly beneficial." The author of this paragraph is lost to history and Captain Casserly apparently left the police force before Lees enlisted. Whatever his in- spiration, it seems clear that Lees established his own Rogue's Gallery in San Francisco, traditionally about 1854. In the 1850s the city was hard - pressed to come up with municipal salaries, much less the cost of photographing criminals, so Lees had it done himself. "The pictures," wrote George Blum, a city police photographer of 1901, "were mounted in leather books, five to six hundred per book. Supplementing photo albums were record books with brief criminal histories and de- scriptions of criminals." Reportedly the young officer paid $5.00 each for his early collection of daguerreotypes —the total cost of this and other records eventually totalling an estimated $2500. The earliest reference to actual police photo- graphy discovered to date was in the Alta during the summer of 1857. When a number of young thugs were rounded up and placed on exhibition in Portsmouth Square, Police Chief Curtis told an assembled crowd to watch out for them. Later the group was photographed. "It would be well for hotel keepers and lodging house men to have copies of the daguerreotypes," noted the Alta, " ... so that they may know who they are harboring in their house...

CUSTOM MADE PRIZE RIBBONS AND ROSETTES Other verification of Lees' early work was made by Sergeant Arnop Bainbridge, who headed the Criminal Identification Bureau of the San Francisco police in 1900. When he retired that same year, a rumor was circulated that Lees had taken his Rogue's Gallery photos with him. This was denied by both Lees and the department. "All our records from 1860 to the present are here," stated Bainbridge at the time. "All that Chief Lees took away was his private collection of daguerroetypes and atnbrotypes taken in the early days ... and we have copies of all of these. These pictures were taken prior to 1860... " George Blum wrote that Lees' system had been discontinued for some reason in 1859, and this seems to be correct. Beginning in 1861 mug shots were again being taken and pasted in leather books approximately five by ten inches in size. They were numbered on the spine and were apparently made for the purpose. The trimmed photos were 2% by 3 inches in size and like all mug shots of the TURPIN'S FURNITURE - INTERIORS 1028 North Fulton 233 -4201 J. D. CANADAY INC.

Obviously the department was now paying for the photos —new photo- graphic techniques making the cost much more nominal. In 1881 private photographers were still performing this important function for the police in San Francisco. When Lees captured the noted burglar Jimmy Hope, the Bulletin noted that "Yesterday Officer Smith took Hope, the burglar, to the photographer for insertion in the rogue's gallery which already contains over 9,000 names." Meanwhile other cities throughout the coun- try had taken note of the new system, although adoption was slow and scattered. As previously mentioned, Doderer, the Marseilles photo- grapher, had recognized the plausibility of photographs as identification in 1851 and as early as 1856 an American girl was matri- monially advertising in a newspaper and requesting prospective suitors to forward their daguerreotype likenesses to her address.

Ballou's magazine for March 1855 carried the following brief item; "The Buffalo police sent on lately a de- scription of a rogue named Lewis Fredel, with a daguerreotype likeness of him to aid in his detection." Apparently it wasn't until sometime in 1858 that the New York City police established their Rogue's Gallery at a station house on the corner of Grand and Crosby Streets. Several impor- tant developments had by this time taken place. First, instead of keeping their mug shots in books, the New York police displayed them in a room — framed and hung within cabinets with glass doors. Some 450 photos were on display, with reformed criminal's likenesses turned to the wall. Second, the photographer was a police officer named Van Buren who operated his department with "some skill." Third, the display was named and referred to at this time as "The Rogue's Gallery." An article in the American Journal of Photo- graphy in August of 1859 describes the "gallery" and is one of the first printed refer- ences to this title. Eventually all police mug books were being referred to as Rogue's Galleries. Adoption of the Rogue's Gallery system in this country was slow and unorganized despite the success of Lees and other pioneer officers.

Los Angeles apparently doesn't even know when their gallery was begun. New York pioneered the establishment of internal police photographic laboratories and by 1874 Paris police had their own facilities, also. San Francisco was still using private photographers in the 1880s, while Berlin was doing the same as late as 1890. The scattered and haphazard use of the system made any standardization of method virtually impossible and it was a long time before comparisons of technique were made among police. Lighting, distance from camera and other necessary standardizations were unheard of for many years, but as early as 1872 a French lecturer in anthropology was advo- cating both full -face and profile portraits when taking identification photographs. Another pioneer made some specific recom- mendations during the early 1870s. Writing in The British Journal Photographic Almanac, 0. J. Rejlander suggested the following cri- teria for consideration: "The profile, like the voice, remains the longest unchanged, and therefore a profile must be taken. Besides, a person engaged in watching another more frequently takes occasion to observe those who pass by him than those who may be placed full face toward him. "In the profile the ears are the most certain point of identification, for there is 8cs 638 -3423 WATER PLUG Ris 638 -3831 QUICK - SET THORITE Rf EO(� .

An early identification variation was to place a mirror next to the face so that both a full face and profile could be obtained at the same time. Since this method resulted in the mirror image being slightly smaller than the full face, it was discarded. In 1879 one Alphonse Bertillon, who was later to head the identification department of the Paris police, introduced a new method of criminal identification that was to be nearly as long in adoption as the purely photographic system. Bertillon's method combined anthro- pometric measurements along with standard- ized front and profile photography to more fully perfect the identification and classifica- tion of criminals. The Bertillon method was first introduced in the United States in 1887 and adopted by the International Association of Chiefs of Police in 1896. Bertillon's methods were really a refinement and extension of the Rogue's Gallery system IRA INVESTMENT PROPERTIES HAROLD PARKER RESIDENTIAL & TAX SHELTER INVESTMENT REALTORS 5151 N.

About 1904 fingerprinting came into vogue and has remained as a steady, principal means of identification up to the present time. For men concerned with sleuthing and record - keeping, the detectives have made a poor showing in handing down the origins of the Rogue's Gallery to future generations. Some years ago when the New York Police Department needed space, a large quantity of their old Rogue's Gallery negatives was hauled out to sea and dumped by a garbage scow. Just within the last ten years the old San Francisco police mug books were discovered being torn up and sold, page by page, by an antique dealer. Although many were lost, a university librarian was able to buy up the remaining books for his Special Collections and save them for posterity. These were the same books that had been suspended in sacks tied to the underside of manhole covers to save them from the great earthquake and fire of 1906. SAM ALEXANDER REFRIGERATION 1939 So.

The early St. Louis mug shots have been preserved as previously noted and undoubtedly other records around the country have been preserved. When the Cleveland Police Department cleaned out its early files they were very much aware of the material's value. They had re- tained all their early mug shots dating from the first in 1867, to photograph No. 2942 which was made by their own police photographer on October 14, 1894. Research on the origins of the Rogue's Gallery has been as scattered and scanty as the beginnings of the system itself. Perhaps this article will be the fuse which ignites further research and hopefully one day a book will be done on this most fascinating subject which has contributed so much to combating crime. O. K.
