2 Silver Star  July 2013
Political action, fundraising, legislative
involvement, and attention to our upcoming
contract for 2014 have been at
the top of my priorities since
taking office at the beginning
of the year. It just so happens
that all of these areas are
dependent upon each other.
We cannot give due diligence
to the betterment of our
contract without engaging
heav i ly i n t he pol it ic a l
process. We need to expand
ou r f u nd ra isi ng ef for t s
to increase revenues into
our foundation in order to
turn around and provide
assistance to our members in
need. This allows us to better maintain adequate
funding levels in the association, so that we may
consider beefing up political action committee
funding without having to raise your dues.
Yes, you read this correctly. Our plan is to
strengthen our PAC levels without even
coming to our members to ask for increased
contributions. We will, all be told, soon seek
your approval to increase those levels by a reallocation of funds. This will have no negative
effect on any member benefit fund levels.
The foundation has been blessed by the financial
giving of many individual and corporate
sponsors so far this year, totaling well over
$25,000. This does not include event specific
support, such as sponsors and funds raised
during our annual dinner dance. I would like
to see our foundation revenue exponentially
increased by the end of the year.
Our scholarships, community contributions,
and sickness and distress funds come out
of the foundation, including our ability to
assist members and their families following a
tragedy—something we have seen far too much
of in recent months. The creation of the Critical
Incident Support Fund within the Foundation
will specifically address such events and their
aftermath, allowing for more immediate use of
funds in an emergency.
We have the most giving association members I
have ever seen. Nothing makes me happier than
to see our members getting involved in events
that raise funds for such honorable causes like
assisting an injured brother.
Last year, we witnessed a small group of DSA
members come together on a shoe-string budget
to pull off an incredibly successful motorcycle
ride for Ali Perez and Craig Johnson. The ride,
held last October, began on
the coast and concluded
at the DSA office in Poway
with a BBQ, DJ, raffle prizes,
and great fellowship. The
ride, only planned as a onetime event, was so successful
t hat pe ople wa nted to
see it become an annual
fundraiser.
This year’s motorcycle ride
to support our deputies and
their families, has become
known as the, “Save the
Bacon Ride.” It takes place
on Saturday, Oct. 5, and
will begin at El Cajon Harley, concluding once
again at the DSA with great food and drinks,
entertainment, and a terrific raffle. Go to our site
at savethebaconride.org for continued updates,
information, and registration.
We are offering a new commemorative badge
to our members. It is part of a national project
to honor the public safety personnel who
perished in the events of 9/11. Law enforcement
agencies throughout the country will wear these
badges for the month of September. All of the
municipal police badges share the same badge
as a background. As for sheriff’s departments
throughout the country, they will have our
badge as the background of their 9/11 badge.
We were the first sheriff’s department in the
country to adopt the commemorative badge,
which is now being ordered by counties all over
the country. A special thanks to Sheriff Gore for
taking part in this project with the DSA. It has
had overwhelming response.
We also have our Wave waterpark event next
month in Vista, which is the best deal out there
for a day at our “private” water park. It is always
a fantastic day with our families. See our website
and this issue of the Silver Star for details.
So the department grows, so grows our DSA. As
our numbers begin to increase, the largest law
enforcement association south of Los Angeles
will grow even larger. Our building too will
make accommodation as will the number and
magnitude of our member events. If you have
not been to the store recently, come see our new
merchandise and member services. We have
several more events coming this year, so please
stay tuned, and as always, please feel free to
come get involved. 

The BADGE
by Russ Moore
As the resident “old guy” of Downtown Courts, I am often called upon
to hold court with the new deputies, who want to hear war stories of
times gone past and of the “good old days.” One thing having 33 years
on the department (that’s 23 years retirement-wise post-divorce) is
having a plethora of “stories” to fit any request. Be it stories of Old
Central Jail, Old Descanso, patrol before MDCs and laptops, or 1992
Rodney King Riots, I’ve got more stories then Steven King.
I was recently talking about my academy days in 1980. Of course, none
of the deputies I was addressing were even born yet, but they pretended
they were interested. I told them of the days when your badge number
defined you as a deputy. You placed your badge number on all reports,
citations, and correspondence. A low badge number meant you had
seniority and were someone to be respected. If a citizen wanted to
complain about you, they demanded your badge number (standard
veteran deputy response, “Nosal 295”).
I explained this all changed mid-academy when we were all issued
Arjis Numbers. None of the Training Officers could explain what these
new numbers were or how they would be used. We asked what number
should we place on our reports and were told “both.” So for many years
I wrote both my badge and arjis numbers on all reports. It was not
until 1982 we were told to use only Arjis numbers on all departmental
reports. The use of badge numbers for any purpose quickly faded.
One of the deputies who was still awake asked me what my badge
number was? I had to think for a minute, but remembered “886.”
One of the other deputies woke up and she announced, “That’s my
number,” and showed me the badge pinned to her uniform. There was
my old badge, the badge I’d worn through thick and thin, with a new
owner.
I thought back to 1980 and all the hard work I put in to chase the carrot
of that badge. I still remember the pride on my parents’ faces when I
walked up and shook Sheriff Duffy’s hand after he pinned 886 on my
chest. My being a deputy sheriff was a tremendous source of pride for
my father right up until the day he died.
Badge 886 was with me when my K9 partner Belker and I chased all the
bad guys from Lemon Grove to Encinitas to Alpine. Belker was the best
partner a guy could ask for—wouldn’t touch my food, never asked to
drive or talk on the radio,
and never expected me to
chase the young crooks.
FIRST RESPONDER DAY AT THE RACES
When I joined the fast
paced world of Area
Detectives, 886 was clipped
to my belt to prove to
citizens and crooks that the
good looking, tie wearing
specimen towering over
them was in fact a deputy
sheriff. Many times I was
confused for the Hulk or
Sonny Crockett (youngsters
...a
badge
or the job does
not define who
you are...
Google it).
It was an exciting day
in June 1999 when I
received The Call from
Sheriff Kolender telling me I was
promoted to Sergeant (seems he was
not in on the joke?). At the promotion
ceremony, I was relieved of 886 and given
my new shiny sergeant badge. I’ve never bothered to learn its number,
as it doesn’t matter to anyone anymore.
As the sun sets on what’s been a fabulous time on the San Diego Sheriff
Department, I can reflect that a badge or the job does not define who
you are. Don’t do this job for ego—do it to support your family. Just
like the Graysons, McClintocks, or Reynolds before me, I know when I
leave this job, there will be someone to take my place, and I will be just
a name in a select few memories.
I look at my eager young deputies and know the department is in good
hands. I also know 886 is still out waiting for another round of fun. 

Sheriff’s team moves up in ranks at the Challenge Cup Relay
by Denese Deal
You may have already heard, but your one and only
in April and has lots to be proud about.
We were blessed with a handful of retirees this year. Jim Skill returned
as our sworn volunteer again and spent his eight hour work day hanging
out in the heat at Stage 6. Dan Settle was stuck in the follow van with
Jim Cady for five or so hours. Norma Nares returned to the race and
didn’t miss a beat as a shuttle driver. Kathie Mosher conned Carolyn
Jones to come out and she learned quickly about shuttling runners.
Dann Nielsen returned and drove a mean follow vehicle.
The team completed the 120-mile relay race through the hot, windy,
barren desert of Baker, CA, into the very quiet, lonely town of
Shoshone, CA, into lovely Pahrump, NV, and finally into the oasis
that is Las Vegas in a total of 16:32:31. That is 37 minutes faster than
last year. The team broke into double digits finishing in 69th place
overall out of 279 teams. Every team is comprised of Law Enforcement
Personnel from all over the world.
Assistant Sheriff Mark Elvin joined us again for his second year in a
row. This year Hank Turner “tricked” Assistant Sheriff Mark Elvin into
actually working the race. Both men were in charge of shuttling two
runners to their stages, catching them and returning them to Vegas.
This was Hank’s first year and he has not stopped talking about the fun
he had watching members of this great department work together to
achieve a goal and our new team number of 69!
We finished 13th in the Invitational Category, which includes teams
comprised of both sworn and non-sworn personnel. This year’s runners
consisted of a wide-cross section of our department, including three
non-sworn personnel, eight Deputy Sheriff Detentions/Court Services,
and nine Deputy Sheriff Law Enforcement, ranking from deputies to
sergeants.
Once again, we were short on alternates (without injuries). Karlos
Padilla came back from Afghanistan just weeks before the race and
sent me an e-mail requesting to be on the team. There were no running
spots available at that time. Due to a family emergency, Stage 3 was
San Diego Sheriff B2V Team participated in the 28th
annual Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay Race back
The department was well represented in our alternates and support
staff, having ranks ranging from deputy to assistant sheriff, along with
retired personnel, reserve lieutenants, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends,
friends and RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service; a group
of fine men and women who volunteer their time to make sure there is
communication on the race course). All working throughout the day
and night making sure the race ran smoothly and without flaw.
Fred Hunting ran the fastest at 6:56 minute per mile for his 5.8 mile
stage with a difficulty of 15 (1 being the toughest and 20 being the
easiest). One of our three females, Kim Odell, ran 7:38 minute per mile
for her 6.1 mile stage with a difficulty of 9. Other runners in the 7:20
– 7:38 minute mile club were: Samuel Murray, Doug Majorsky, Dan
Deese, and John Kelleher.
Miguel Hernandez runs 6.1 miles during Stage 5, all of it with a smile.

unoccupied just three days before the race. I called Karlos and told him
he was running. At the beginning of January, we had approximately
13 alternates. By race day, we were down to two. Alternates have a very
important spot in the race.
The San Diego Sheriff’s Department B2V Team is quickly becoming
the most feared team throughout the world. This competitive team has
jumped from 210th place to 69th place in just two short years. That is
a competitive increase of 141 places and over 3 hours faster on the run
time.
Dan Lopez thinks, “Why did I give up my day run for a freezing cold night
run.”
Preparations are already in effect for next year’s race. Start training and
asking for time off for March 22 and March 23, 2014. Contact Denese
Deal or Sgt. Kathy Cruz if you are interested.
Relaxing at the finish line: Kathy Cruz, Denese Deal, Mark Elvin,
Esther Quinones, and Sam Murray.

of the hospital and learned what it takes to work there. This experience
confirmed my career decision to become a nurse. I will be studying for

My name is Sean Cutrell and I am a graduating senior at Valley Center
High School. During the last few years I have been involved in several
community service organizations, which have allowed me to make a
difference in my hometown as well as my school. I also played both varsity
football and volleyball for my high school. Although I have been involved
in sports my whole life, over the last few years I have sustained some
serious injuries that required physical therapy. Although these injuries
were painful, they introduced me to some men and women to whom I
will always be grateful. The help and encouragement I received from the
physical therapists who worked to heal me, inspired me to help others in
the same way. My aptitude for physical sciences and my longing to help
people are what guided me to decide to become a physical therapist. The
chance to work with people and make positive changes in someone’s life is
what motivates and drives me toward my future goals. I will be attending
Azusa Pacific University this fall, majoring in Applied Health, with an
emphasis on physical therapy, and ultimately plan to earn a doctoral
degree in this field. I am extremely grateful to the DSA for choosing me
as the recipient of the Kenneth Collier Memorial Scholarship. Along with
my thanks, my prayers also go out to the family of Deputy Collier. I am
excited for what the future years of schooling have in store for me. I know
that with hard work, I will have the means to support myself and my
family wherever life takes me.

HALEY FORD
Haley Ford is a recent honor graduate from Steele Canyon High School
in beautiful Rancho San Diego. Haley is a very outgoing and ambitious
young woman who enjoys staying busy and taking the opportunity to
partake in many activities. Throughout her four years at Steele Canyon,
she was a very active participant in athletics and clubs, while taking time
to volunteer in her community. Along with participating in these many
activities, Haley held many prestigious leadership roles as well. Haley
values giving back to her community so much that she was even awarded
the 2013 Presidential Volunteer Service award for her dedication and
two letters of recognition from our local state and senate representatives.
Alongside being a part of so many extra-curricular activities, Haley was
able to maintain at least a 4.0 average all four years of her high school
career. She highly values her academics and believes it is so important
to stay educated in order to achieve the career and future she wishes
to lead. Haley will be attending the University of Arizona in the fall,
perusing a major in biology, working towards a career in forensic science
or the medical field. With Haley’s career, she wants to be able to make
a difference in people’s lives, whether it be through bringing justice or
curing sickness. Haley would like to thank her mother and father for
their endless love and support, because without them she would not be
as successful as she is today. Most importantly, Haley would also like to
thank the San Diego County Deputy Sheriff’s Foundation for awarding
her this scholarship and making an influential impact on her life.

NEW OWNER: MARGARET MIDDLETON
Daughter of Lt. Flo Helms
a teacher’s assistant at Empresa Elementary School. I was a high school
student who remained involved in school activities (both sports and
clubs), as well as helping the community and I plan on continuing that
similar type of involvement in college. I appreciate the potential that not
only my family sees in me but community members as well.
I will attend Arizona State University in the fall where I will study
Speech Pathology with a minor in Education. I was extremely fortunate
to receive the Lonny Gene Brewer scholarship from the DSA and I am
honored. My dad has shared stories of Deputy Brewer’s heroism and it
is a privilege to have received this scholarship. It will help provide me
an opportunity to further my education and career goals. I would like to
thank the DSA Directors, the DSA members, and specifically Director
Bennetts who took time from her evening to attend the Vista High
School scholarship awards ceremony and personally present me with the
scholarship certificate.

COURTNEY LOVELACE
I just finished my high school career at Elsinore High School as a
Valedictorian for the class of 2013. I will attend York College in Nebraska
to pursue a degree in psychology while playing softball. After receiving
my degree, I plan on working with Child Protective Services. I would like
to mentor and provide guidance to the kids and let them know their dark
past does not have to affect how great their future can be; I want them to
know their lives are still important. My mother has been involved with
law enforcement for sixteen years, basically my entire life. She taught me
how to work hard and accomplish my goals. I could not have achieved
so much without her by my side. Thank you mom, the Deputy Sheriff’s
Foundation, and the brave and honorable Will Ward for giving his life in
the line of duty. I will put it to great use and will always be thankful for
those who helped me get this far. I know my future is bright and cannot
wait to begin a new chapter of my life.
Alanna Serritella
My name is Alanna Serritella and I am the fortunate recipient of the
Deputy Andrew Kriss Scholarship Award for 2013. I was born and raised
in San Diego County. I attended La Costa Meadows Elementary School
in Carlsbad and San Elijo Middle School in San Marcos. For high school,
I took advantage of the opportunity to attend High Tech High North
County in San Marcos. This charter school focuses on the philosophy
of project based learning, integrated into core curriculum. Not only did
my experiences at High Tech High help me grow and mature, they also
taught me the skills of teamwork, critical thinking, professionalism,
and public speaking, along with many other valuable traits.
My father, Christopher Serritella, is a recently retired sheriff ’s
sergeant. His career inspired me to choose a path that would allow
me to benefit the community, as his did. Growing up, I was always
taught the importance of giving back to the community and becoming
a productive member of society. Instilled with these values, I decided
that nursing would be the career best for me. As a nurse I will have
the opportunity to make a difference by helping others, undertake
individual challenges, all while working in a team environment.
In the fall I will be attending California State University
Long Beach where I have been accepted as a pre-nursing/health
sciences major. While my immediate goal is to earn my Bachelor
of Science in Nursing, my long term goals include continuing my
education to become a nurse practitioner or physicians assistant.
Monetary value aside, receiving this scholarship is an honor because
of the significance of the organization behind it and all that it represents.
I am truly thankful to be receiving this award.
2013 MEMBER SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
While the nine Line of Duty scholarships awarded to dependents of DSA
members receive a lot of attention during fundraising events throughout the
year, the Deputy Sheriff’s Foundation (DSF) also awards two scholarships
to active DSA members. Any active member attending an accredited
university may apply for the scholarship. The DSF is the charitable arm of
the DSA. Beyond awarding scholarships, the foundation also contributes
to community programs in the areas we live and protect.
JOHN HINTZ
My name is John Hintz, and I have been
with the Sheriff’s Department for just over
18 years, after working for about 2 years
with Tribal Police; prior to that I served in
the Marine Corps for just over 6 years. My
first duty station was the old Central Jail.
From the jails I went to work San Marcos
patrol and later to Vista patrol. After patrol,
I became a member to the stations new
G.E.T. (Gang Enforcement Team), where I
spent about 18 months, and finally I landed
in my current position in the Detective
Bureau at the Vista Station.
NICHOLAS STEVENS
I am graduating from Vista Murrieta High School, in Murrieta.
Throughout my high school years, I participated in football, basketball,
baseball, student leadership, AVID, and an academic organization called
Renaissance. I have done most of my volunteer work for an organization
that works with athletes with special needs, called Sports for Exceptional
Athletes. I also spend a lot of time volunteering as a youth football coach,
mainly at the Kindergarten level. I am graduating from Vista Murrieta
with a 4.4 overall GPA. I have taken 10 AP and Dual Enrollment classes.
I will be attending Colorado State University next year, studying
Engineering with a minor in Business. At Colorado State I will be playing
football as well. I hope to earn my Bachelor’s Degree after two and a half
years, and then earn my Master’s Degree by the time I finish my football
career at CSU. After leaving Murrieta, I hope to be remembered as a
person who gave back to his community and inspired the local youth. I
want to break the stereotype that has been set on athletes; that they do
not achieve high in the classroom. My favorite high school moment was
leading my football team to a CIF Championship my junior year as the
starting quarterback. My dad is my inspiration, because he is unselfish
and is always doing things for others, putting their needs before his own.
When I grow up I hope to be a man like him, doing things for others,
never needing anything in return. My family means the world to me and
they have shaped my life and helped me become the person I am today. I
treasure those around me and try my best to have a positive influence on
others. Thank you!
Michelle Tyndall
My name is Michelle Tyndall and I was born and raised in Julian,
California, a small country town. Ever since I was young, I have loved
sports and participated in every one offered to me. Whether it was
basketball, soccer, track, volleyball, 5K’s, or powderpuff, I would be there
alongside my peers playing. I ended up loving the game of basketball
and from the time I was in first grade all the way to my senior year in
high school, I played competitively. When I wasn’t playing sports, I was
reading, anything and everything, ranging from Harper Lee’s To Kill A
Mockingbird to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. In a way, I became an
autodidactic learning from the literature’s themes about politics, satire,
and even the importance of speaking up. These novels helped me decide
that I wanted to keep learning more, so when I entered high school, I
enrolled in classes that consisted of honors, accelerated, and AP courses.
This past semester I had four AP classes, one advanced class, and obtained
a 4.67 GPA making my overall GPA a 4.18; thus making me third in my
class. Like so many of my peers, I applied to several colleges this past
November, and was accepted into my top choice. I would like to say thank
you, for I am able to attend college because of the help the DSA has done
by graciously choosing me for this scholarship.
In about 2002, I joined on our department’s
Peer Support Team as a collateral duty and
in time and through experiences I was asked
to work on Peer Support’s Critical Incident Response Team and Officer
Involved Shooting team. While performing these
collateral duties, I began to feel a strong pull to the
field of Psychology and Crisis Counseling.
John Hintz
Mark Kelley
First, I’d like to thank the association for selecting me to receive one of
the education scholarships for 2013. I feel honored by this selection and
view it both as a privilege and a responsibility. It is privilege because I
have more than a few partners who are also pursuing their education at
great personal cost. It is a responsibility, because I know it is not given
for my benefit alone. I recognize this support is given to me in trust; that
it will benefit my partners, the larger department, and the residents of
San Diego County.
I am currently assigned to the Lemon Grove patrol station where I have the
best partners and supervisors. There is good work to be done in our patrol
area and plenty of it. As it true anywhere, the partners you have and the
commitment to good work you share with them makes all the difference.
Anyone looking to work hard and make a difference should put their
transfer in for the Lemon Grove Station! I am additionally blessed with
a beautiful wife and four wonderful daughters who maintain a positive
attitude about my patrol schedule and the extra time required by my
classes. I am fortunate indeed!
Because I don’t know what is in store for the future, I hold my career with
an open hand. Be it staying where I am as a patrol deputy, or moving to
some other role, my desire is to do the best job possible and progress only
as far as my ability and integrity allow. Hopefully this scholarship, and
the education it helps fund, will make me a more effective member of
this department. It is just one example of the many ways the association
supports me, and all of us, as deputy sheriffs. 
My passion became helping our law enforcement
family in their time of need, and so, I decided to
return to school and pursue my Bachelors of Science
in Psychology and Crisis Counseling, ensuring that
I am able to better help our uniformed brothers and
sisters in crisis or after traumatic events. I expect my
B.S. to be complete by the spring of next year (2014),
where I will move directly into a M.A. in Human Arts
and Leadership, a non-clinical counseling degree.
I am also currently teaching Suicide Prevention
for Law Enforcement through a POST and STC
certified private contract company. I have also had
the opportunity to co-instruct with the Counseling
Team International at their OIS-CISD training at the
UCLA conference center in Lake Arrowhead CA.

What Deputies Need to Know
by Lt. Lisa MontesdeOca, Sgt. Art Ortiz, Deputy Lucy Masterson
The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) was signed into law by
President George W. Bush on September 4, 2003. The goal of PREA is to
eradicate sexual assaults in all correctional facilities in the United States,
establishing a zero tolerance standard for incidents of sexual assault and
rape. That includes detention facilities, patrol station lockups, holding
cells, and courthouses.
The law includes sexual acts between a staff member and a detainee/
inmate, or a detainee/inmate and another detainee/inmate. The law affects
all sworn and professional members, volunteers, clergy, and contracted
staff, such as nurses, doctors, food service personnel, instructors, vendors,
and mental health professionals who come into contact with detainees/
inmates.
In May of 2012, the Department of Justice
issued a final rule adopting national
standards pursuant to PREA. There are
44 standards that are applicable to adult
jails, lockups, and holding cells that affect
our department.
The Webster University Office of Military Affairs and Office of Corporate Partnership is proud to
announce the First Responder Program for all qualified Law Enforcement, Fire and EMT personnel. As
a Certified First Responder, you may be eligible for a Webster University tuition rate that is the same as the
special discount rate for those who serve in the military. For complete information, including specific
requirements, visit webster.edu/firstresponder.
Degree programs in the classroom and online include:
• Undergraduate
• Graduate
• Doctoral (Available in classroom at Webster Groves campus only.)
Cohorts available for groups of 20-25 students.
No GRE/GMAT required for the graduate degree programs.
Webster University, founded in 1915 with its home campus based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA,
is the only Tier 1, private, nonprofit university with campus locations around the world.

identification of an independent auditor, reviewing process for criminal
and administrative investigations, streamlining incident review, and
corrective action protocol for the department.
What Can We Do?
The prevention of sexual assaults in custody is no easy task, but measures
can be taken to assist in ensuring we provide a safe environment for
detainees, inmates, and staff. To assist in meeting our goal of detecting,
preventing, identifying, and deterring incidents of sexual abuse and
sexual assault, the department has reviewed policies and made changes
as necessary. The department created a new zero tolerance policy and
a website with vital information. You will soon see posters, signs, and
brochures in our detention facilities, patrol stations, and
courthouses making it clear sexual harassment and abuse
are not acceptable. The signs will also inform detainees and
inmates on how they can report sexual abuse.
The prevention of sexual
assaults in custody is no
easy task, but measures
can be taken to assist in
ensuring we provide a safe
environment for detainees,
inmates, and staff.
Lieutenant Rob Mitchell was selected
as t he interi m depa r t ment PR EA
coordinator on July 13, 2012. A PREA
committee was formed in order to gather
representatives from the affected units
and divisions. Some general agenda items
each bureau and division are reviewing
pertain to existing policies, practices, and
operations to include necessary verbiage and required elements to meet
PREA standards, and creating reporting signage for inmate housing areas
in order to develop necessary policy absent from existing policy sections.
Department training is being developed for all staff (sworn, professional,
volunteers, contractors who have inmate contact) as well as the inclusion
of PREA into the academy curriculum, Facility Orientation Program,
JPMU training, and ongoing specialized sexual assault training for DIU
and sexual assault investigators.
A Law Enforcement Services Bureau (LESB) representative is reviewing
field operation policy and evaluating detainee holding at each station and
substation; Human Resources (HRB) is reviewing department hiring
practices; Detentions Support Division (DSD) is reviewing/revising
existing Detentions P&P and developing a stand-alone department
PREA policy, incorporating new information into the inmate orientation
video and creating a PREA resource link on the DSB website; and Court
Services is reviewing court policies and protocol and evaluating their
respective holding cell areas. The Medical Services Division is reviewing
and updating policies and protocol, the Inmate Services Division (ISD) is
researching programming, service expansion and additional counseling
needs, along with the use of interpreters for non-English speaking
detainees and inmates. Last, the Division of Inspectional Services
(DIS) is assisting in developing and establishing audits, audit schedules,
As individuals, we can assist the department by knowing
and supporting the department's zero tolerance policy,
being professional and fair with the detainees and inmates,
making it clear sexual behavior is not acceptable, observing
our daily environment carefully, being diligent about security
and safety, and making suggestions on how to minimize the
potential risk in such areas.
In addition, similar information will be provided to inmates
in an updated inmate orientation video. These steps will help
to create a healthy reporting culture where inmates trust that
their allegations will be taken seriously with no retaliation
measures by staff.
In the event of a complaint of sexual assault, remain objective and take any
allegation of sexual assault or abuse seriously. Sexual abuse or harassment
while in custody is not part of an inmate's punishment. It is a crime.
If you would like to review information on PREA or test your knowledge
of the PREA standards, you will find a PREA section on the Detentions
Service Bureau Home page listed under “Resources”. 

by Chaplain Herb Smith
WHERE:
Carlton Oaks Golf Course
“In repentance and rest you shall be saved, in quietness and trust is your
strength… Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, and waits on
high to have compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice; how blessed are
all those who wait for Him… And the work of righteousness will be peace,
and its service quietness and confidence forever” (Isaiah 30:15, 18; 32:17).

Forever is a long time… in fact, the idea circumvents time and space itself.
Everything within our relative dimension bespeaks a beginning and an
end; a continuum that has cause and effect, the process and alchemy of
compound and chemical, energy and mass, heat and cold, light and dark,
of life and of death. It is what we can know and perceive by sense and
intellect, and wonder beyond our ability to comprehend. Terrestrial and
celestial laws of physics govern the bounds of limitation and potential,
and what we discover only serves to show us there is exponentially so
much more than we scarcely realize. The origin of our existence is a
mystery we can only generally postulate, and our control over the least
of it all is quantumly fractional and insignificantly momentary. So it is
no surprise that whatever we endeavor to contain the most cultivates
the greatest potential for chaos, confusion and corruption. How in the
world do we survive?

Fundamentally, we are at the mercy of the powers that be. “O God, Thy
Sea Is So Great and My Boat Is So Small” goes the French Fisherman’s
Prayer, displayed on many a sea captain’s desk. There is a God, and we’re
not Him. There was an uncaused cause mathematically proven by the
relatively short amount of time since the scientifically accepted theory
of the Big Bang occurred, given the spectacular order, mass and life that
exists on this globe alone. Whether such exists on any other planet is
immaterial given the astonishing verity that it is here before us, and
evidenced by us, in all of its undeniable brilliance. And it is brilliant
indeed, as well as striking that of all the instinctively guided creatures
that roam this world, humans are the only ones with a differentiating
self-awareness capable of, well, God-like functions. Such is our greatest
asset as humans, as well as our most devastating liability.
We can build a skyscraper, and then decide that we should intentionally
jump off the top of it, or worse, push off someone else. There can be
at work within us the darkness of the blackest hole or the brightness
of the whitest star, but at heart our self-interest more often has us in
the gravitational pull of the former. Life is either reacting to the forces
upon us and getting funneled toward what we were trying to avoid, or
responding with faith in the hope of knowing love.
We were made
to be more than
creatures driven
by impulse.
What separates us from the rest of
God’s created order is that ability to
communicate with and not lead, use or
manipulate, but follow, Him. “If you call
to me, I will answer and tell you great and mighty things you do not
know” (Jeremiah 33:3). Without getting in the way of what God is trying
to do in us, taking the time to call on Him and listen to what He says,
exercising the courage to embody integrity, uprightness and rectitude,
gives us residential qualities of an eternal dimension. And when we
do, that little corner of the world we happen to inhabit becomes more
responsive to the light than the darkness.
We can know and experience that eternity in our hearts by knowing and
experiencing the One Who put it there, and refusing to fall prey to our
own selfish ways. Power corrupts our self-centered heart, but the prayer of
faith corals and cultivates a conscience of compassion and conviction. We
were made to be more than creatures driven by impulse. We were made
in God’s Image to reflect Him, and express His attributes, and bring His
light, life and love into a dark world that was devoid of it. We can’t, but
He can, and instead of becoming trampled by our own waywardness, He
gives us the Truth that shows us the Way.
God is above and beyond our space and time, but we are tethered to Him
and His adequacy in us when we strive for and trust Who and what He
takes delight in. To protect and serve challenges our inherently corrupt
nature. But choosing to follow Who and what is right, and waiting on
Him, brings that peace, quietness and confidence that revitalizes the soul,
enlivens our spirit, and exponentially infuses us into a world without
end, Amen.
“And so we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which we do well
to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns
and the morning star arises in your hearts… I know (O Lord) that Thou
canst do all things, and that no purpose of Thine can be thwarted” (II Peter
1:19; Job 42:2).” 
There is no doubt that God’s lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness
is the only thing this world longs to embrace. We are wired that way.
We’re born with an innate sense of right and wrong, and for the life
of us we resolve to desire the lesser. “For the good that I wish, I do not
do; but I practice the very evil that I do not wish (Romans 7:19).” We’re
hopeless, but not helpless when we turn to the One Who by His Spirit
made us, the earth and its world for His glory and our good. Made in His
image, we inherited His communicable attributes to do things like create,
defend, serve, sacrifice, strive for the right, stand for the good, and seek
out that eternity He has placed into our hearts, an internal awareness that
instinctively knows we were meant to surpass the fallenness in ourselves
and yield to the One Who enables us to rise above it.

Rick Arias
Ever since they were married, Donna and Rick Arias wanted to take
a cross-country trip, and when Rick retired in March 2012, they were
able to do it. While on their journey to Indiana to visit their daughter
and her family, they stopped at several locations to visit other family
members. They ventured to Chicago and began their trek west visiting
Mt. Rushmore, the Badlands, and the Grand Tetons. In February, their
daughter in Valley Center presented them with another granddaughter,
and now they enjoy spending time with their two grandsons and two
granddaughters. Fishing season has started, so looking for that parttime paid work will have to wait.
Bill Cowles
Bill Cowles moved to Leavenworth, WA, after medically retiring in
1985. He worked in building materials sales, retiring in 2005. Bill is
a Viet Nam combat veteran and is involved in Veterans’ Affairs. He
served four combat tours of duty with the Navy SEAL teams in the
SEAL boat support units. He is also involved in the Republican Party
politics and was elected as a precinct committee officer. He later ran
for Chelan County Sheriff and planned on appointing his best friend,
Randy Anderson, as his undersheriff had he been successful. Although
he placed well, he did not get elected. Several years later, Bill ran
unsuccessfully for the Chelan County Commissioner.
Bill and his wife Alice live on nine acres in the forest on the eastern
slopes of the Cascade Mountains and tend their large organic
vegetable garden. Randy Anderson, a former SDSO Sergeant, moved
to Leavenworth, WA, just prior to Bill Cowles settling there. They
play pool together several times a week and watch the Chargers games
together. Randy recently retired from Executive Flight where he was
in charge of dispatching. Randy and Bill are both enjoying the retired
life and remain close friends. Bill describes himself as enjoying life by
being born again in Jesus Christ, and he and Alice are active in their
church. He also shared with me that leaving San Diego was the key to
becoming a “Recovering SDSO Deputy Sheriff.”

Lynda and D.Q. retired in 1986 and moved to Iowa. Prior to D.Q.’s
passing in 2003, they enjoyed a second residence in Texas to escape
the winter months of Iowa. Lynda reports that all the tornadoes have
missed her farm this year. Instead they have endured heavy rains and
most of her farming fields are flooded. Lynda said that even after all
the years being back in Iowa, she’d rather face an earthquake than a
tornado!
Lynda loves tending to her flower garden. She spends a lot of her time
volunteering for her church as the treasurer, teaching Sunday school
and Vacation Bible School. This summer, Lynda will be working at
the “Camp for Kids.” She and D.Q. started a “campership” fund many
years ago. This year she will be sponsoring two children who can enjoy
being like the other kids who don’t have much in the way of a solid
family life, but for at least two weeks in the summer they can enjoy
being like all the other kids. Over the years, she has witnessed many
blessings when several children attended Sunday school after being at
Camp and went on to become baptized and join the church. She said
it’s still difficult without D.Q., but with the help of good friends, she is
able to manage. She also enjoys a group of crazy women as a member of
the Red Hat Society.

Responding to Out-Patient Facilities
Last month’s discussion of law enforcement response at in-patient

know how to handle people with mental illness?
Out-patient facilities and private practitioners in mental health
services generally have protocols in place for when to call law
enforcement. Their calls to police are driven by staff’s belief that
the patient’s ability to be safe or their ability to ensure the safety of
others has been compromised. These situations likely warrant law
enforcement intervention.
Do I need to remove my firearm or other use of force
equipment?
the validity of a hold, you may write your own 5150 hold, which should
include information provided by staff.
This patient doesn’t meet criteria but the doctor
(therapist, Social Worker, etc.) is insisting that I take
the person on a 5150 hold. Must I defer to their clinical
judgment?
Disagreements between officers and mental health clinicians will
occur. Patients frequently present a very different picture of their
circumstances when law enforcement arrives on the scene. Keep in
mind that staff qualifies as “reliable third party informants” (per
AB 1424 and 5150.05) and as such, can provide you with valuable
information which may support doing the detention. Also, they are
likely more familiar with the patient’s baseline level of functioning,
allowing for better insight into the patient’s current mental state.
Nevertheless, there will still be times when you will disagree on
whether criteria for 5150 are met. Once you have spoken with the
patient and taken into consideration the collateral information
provided by staff, you can make an informed decision. If conflict
persists, requesting a PERT team can help to resolve the issues and
facilitate an appropriate disposition. 
No. Removal of firearms is only necessary on locked, in-patient units
for the safety of staff and other patients when you have detained
someone and are bringing them in for treatment.
Why doesn’t the facility just write the 5150 and call an
ambulance?
In general, out-patient facilities will not have staff that is authorized
by the county to write 5150 detentions (although there is talk that
this could be changing in the near future). A detention cannot
be authorized over the phone, but must be written by someone a)
authorized by the county; b) who has face-to-face contact with the
patient; and c) determined that criteria for a detention are met. Off-site
psychiatrists, therefore, cannot initiate a 5150 detention. This is true
even though they may have county designation in a hospital setting. If
there is staff present that is able to write the hold, then an ambulance
can be utilized with cooperative patients. If the patient is agitated or
combative, an ambulance may not be appropriate and law enforcement
intervention will be necessary.
How will I know if staff is certified to write holds?
While out-patient settings will generally not have county-designated
staff, this can get murky when therapists or doctors mistakenly believe
that they are authorized to write detentions. This county designation is
given to sworn law enforcement officers, ER doctors, or psychiatrists at
in-patient facilities (only when working in the ER or in-patient facility,
or if working at an out-patient, can only 5150 to their in-patient
facility) and certain crisis response teams, such as PERT. Providers
sometimes believe that they have that authority by virtue of their
professional license, but this is not the case. If you have concerns about

The Rolling 90’s
San Marcos Station by Casey James
SDSO Kennels
First North County
Gun BuyBack
On Saturday, May 18, the San Marcos Sheriff’s
Station hosted the first North County Gun
Buyback event. The event was perfectly
coordinated and well-orchestrated (down to the
last detail, well, except coffee) by COPPS Dep.
Dustin Nelson.
K9 by Brian Baker and K9 Beny
Busy Sniffers
Now that all four Detentions K9 teams are
up and running, they have been busy trying
to promote themselves and show DSB what
a great asset they are.
Personnel from the Vista Sheriff ’s Station,
Escondido PD, Oceanside PD, Carlsbad PD,
District Attorney’s Office, Palomar College
PD, Weapons Training Unit, Property and
Evidence, and Bomb/Arson all graciously
assisted the San Marcos Sheriff’s Station with
the event. The purpose of the event was to
provide an opportunity for the public to dispose
of unwanted firearms in exchange for gift cards.
The District Attorney’s Office, Oceanside PD,
and Sheriff ’s Department sponsored the gift
cards for this event.
The buyback was a major success and the
turnout was great. There were times when it
looked like the line of cars would never end.
By the end of the day, a total of 210 guns were
collected, 3 of which were assault-style rifles. A
military grade smoke grenade was also turned
in.
The Sheriff’s Property and Evidence Unit took
possession of all the firearms. Records checks
were run through NCIC and any firearms
that are deemed stolen or used in a crime will
be returned to the investigating agency. The
remainder of the firearms were impounded and
will be properly destroyed. It is good to know
that crimes involving firearms may have been
prevented by this event.
Dustin Nelson conducts briefing before the
buyback.
Who grew the best ‘stache? (standing from left) Jeremy Bedingfield, Christopher Perez, Brandon Shelton,
Mike Proffitt, Darrell McNeal, Jason Allen, Kristin Billieux, Sgt. Henry Lebitski, Erik Herrera. (kneeling

Several other gun buyback events are in the
works around the county and they will be
shooting to top our numbers. Thank you to
everyone who helped out and supported the
event. Thank you Sheriff
Gore for taking the time to
come out and support the
troops, and thanks to the
San Marcos COPPS and
GET units who made sure
the event went off without
Just some of the long guns turned in during the North County Gun Buyback.
a hitch. Deputy Nelson congrats on a job well
done! (I am sure the station will be renting out
your consultant services by the hour to help out
on the next events.) 

Mustache March
Teamwork is an important and essential
element to the success of our profession.
Uniformity projects a professional appearance.
Hence, Mustache March, San Marcos style. This
may have happened a few months ago, but is
definitely worth mentioning. Not many teams
can actually say they have gotten their entire
team to grow mustaches, but Team #4 in San
Marcos decided to make it happen.
It started with Dep. Erik Herrera rocking a
pretty solid mustache. He is that guy who was
born to have a ‘stache. Of course the team
made fun of him for it, but we all know it was
fueled by a little bit of jealousy. I mean, who
watched “Magnum PI” and didn’t want to be
Tom Selleck?
Our new sergeant, Sgt. Henry Lebitski thought
it would be great if we all gave Erik a little
hairy competition. At first he presented us
with a challenge to see who could grow the
best mustache in one month. One by one,
team members began taking on the challenge.
It wasn’t long before the challenge grew on
the team, literally, and everyone on the team
began growing a mustache, or at least sprouted
some peach fuzz. From the end of February,
to about mid-April, let’s call it 6 weeks, there
was some team bonding going on. We couldn’t
believe that nobody dropped out. But let’s face
it, we all knew we would get much more heat
for shaving our mustaches, than for having the
worst looking one.
I’ll let you decide for yourselves, who had the
best mustache. I think it would be a much more
interesting competition, though, as to who had
the worst one. I knew I wasn’t going to win the
best mustache, but I just didn’t want an explorer
to look better in a ‘stache than me. We had a lot
of fun, and it really brought us closer as a team.
Mo-vember is next, who’s in? 
M o s t r e c e nt l y, C a p t a i n C l a m s e r
orchestrated a narcotics sniff of CAI work
furlough per their request. The operation
was a multi-agency collaborated effort.
SDSO units involved were CPAC, DIU,
DTU, Los Colinas Transition Team, WTU,
and all four Detentions K9 Teams. Also
present was County Probation with their
two K9 Teams and Federal Probation. All
six K9 teams sniffed the entire facility in
just under three hours.
All personnel involved did an excellent job
in working together to ensure the operation
ran smoothly. Designated teams conducted
strip searches and assisted with searching
areas where the dogs alerted. Upon
completion of the evolution, two people
were remanded back to custody and items
found were some meth laced cigarettes, a
meth pipe, an iPod with “spice” hidden
inside, and prescription medications.
Captain Madsen offered his facility (GBDF)
as a venue for the detentions K9 narcotics
teams to do some dope training. We had
a good turn out with a total of six dogs to
parade around the facility for a few hours—
three detentions, two probation, and one
rural L/E deputy showed up.
Lieutenant Kania and Team Four gladly
assisted by providing us House One. They
cleared and prepared the modules and
conducted searches of the inmates in the
rec yard with a trio of dogs standing by
for deputy protection and crowd control,
while the other trio of dogs sniffed for
narcotics. Even though nothing tangible
was located in areas the dogs alerted, all
deputies involved were able to work safely
and with the confidence they had the dogs
as additional coverage ready for action
at their sides while moving the inmates.
Afterwards, we were allowed access to
the secured parking lot to hide some live
training aids for the dogs.
Up north, Deputy White received a call
from VDF to assist with a search. During
the search, his K9 Miki alerted to a few
areas. Though nothing tangible could be
found the effort was not a total loss. The
search yielded a shank and two razor
blades.
All of the Detentions K9 handlers are based
out of East Mesa Re-entry Facility. All four
K9 teams are dual purpose certified for
apprehension and narcotics. It works out
to one on each team, so if you feel the
need for a little K9 encouragement at your
facility just give us a call at (619) 661-2671.
We’ll be glad to help out, whether it’s to just
hang out and provide deputy protection or
crowd control during any evolution you’re
conducting that requires the movement of
inmates or to sniff out an area you think
drugs are located.
Bush Whacker
While on duty in the rough rugged town
of Ramona, Deputy Guthrie received a
radio call about a suspect (later determined
11550) wanted for felony spousal abuse,
felony vandalism and 459. The suspect
had left his vehicle (later confirmed 10851
and additional weapons inside) and fled
into the bushes armed with a knife. Barry
the dedicated tracker that he is quickly
took Deputy Guthrie and his team about
3/4 of a mile into the bushes to where
the upstanding citizen was hiding. After
Guthrie gave his announcements, the
suspect refused to give himself up. Barry
had no problem in helping him out of his
hiding spot by making contact with his
leg and pulling him out so he could get his
deputy issued tennis bracelets applied.
Fresh Recruits
Deputies Asami Minami, Aaron Boer, and
Brandon Carlos have started the academy
with their new K9 partners. They are very
excited to have their new partners, and I’m
sure they have been enjoying their bonding
time and can’t wait to start taking bites for
one another over the next few months. 
