County Can Help San Jose With Neighborhood Crime Patrols The City of San Jose is facing a critical need to bolster its police force, which has decreased from 1,400 officers to 906 active duty officers in six years. And for the first time, San Jose has not been able to fill its police academies with enough qualified applicants. A smaller San Jose police force has resulted in an increase in emergency response times, from 11 minutes to 20 minutes for the most urgent calls, and has forced the department to eliminate some units, including the burglary unit. Crime is rising at a rapid rate in a city that was once considered the Safest Big City in the U.S. I believe the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office can help out by providing increased neighborhood patrols to prevent home burglaries and by assisting in catching and locking up neighborhood criminals. I’ve proposed that the County Sheriff’s Department look into providing temporary law enforcement services while San Jose officials work to fill a large number of vacancies in the San Jose Police Earth Day Every year on April 22, over a billion people in 190 countries take action for Earth Day. From San Francisco to San Juan, Beijing to Brussels, Moscow to Marrakesh, people plant trees, clean up their communities, contact their elected officials, and more—all on behalf of the environment. Like Earth Days of the past, Earth Day 2014 will focus on the unique environmental challenges of our time. As the world’s population migrates to cities, and as the bleak reality of climate change becomes increasingly clear, the need to create sustainable communities is more important than ever. Earth Day 2014 will seek to do just that through its global theme: Green Cities. With smart investments in sustainable technology, forward-thinking public policy, and an educated and active public, we can transform our cities and forge a sustainable future. Nothing is more powerful than the collective action of a billion people. Department. The Board of Supervisors will vote on my proposal at our meeting on Tuesday, April 15, 2014. If it passes, I’ve asked that the Sheriff’s Department prepare an analysis for our April 29, 2014, meeting. Because San Jose makes up 60 percent of the County’s population, crimes that take place in San Jose also threaten the safety of residents in unincorporated County pockets as well as residents in the cities around San Jose. The County and the City need to ex- plore new methods of providing services to residents even if it’s on a temporary basis. Public Safety is the No. 1 priority. If you have questions or concerns on any topic, please call my office at 408-2995030 or email me atdave.cortese@bos. sccgov.org 14-169 UNKNOWN Sexual assault The San Jose Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect in this sketch. According to Detective Hoa Tran, on 03/06/14 at approximately 11:30 pm, a sexual battery occurred on the light rail platform in the area of S. 2nd / Santa Clara St. in San Jose. An intoxicated subject contacted the victim and engaged in a conversation. The suspect groped her approximately 3 times on the breast and 3 times on the buttocks. The victim was able to push the suspect away. The victim fled on the light rail and left the suspect at the station. The victim could not provide any of the suspect’s clothing description. The suspect was last seen carrying a brown paper bag with handles, “Pall Mall” cigarettes and lighter. all persons depicted in this publication are presumed to be innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. do not attempt under any circumstance to apprehend any persons depicted in this publication. all persons may be considered armed and dangerous by law enforcement. please call the fugitive hotline number (se habla español) or 9-1-1 for an immediate sighting. HOTLINE: 1-800-9CAUGHT EMAIL: [email protected] APR- 14 fw 02-1000 Greisy Valencia child abuse Fugitive Watch originally featured this tragic story in December 2002 and we want to remind the public we need your help to track this fugitive down. The Hayward Police Department is currently seeking Greisy Valencia on a warrant charging her with the ongoing abuse and torture of a child. According to Detective Hopfe, in December of 2002, an eleven-year-old girl was wandering the streets of Manteca, California. When she finally knocked on the door of a home, seeking help, the little girl couldn’t remember her address or telephone number. The homeowner called the police. When the police questioned the child, they realized that she wasn’t just lost. She was the victim of severe child abuse. The child described how her hands would be held over an open flame on the stove, and how cigarettes or a curling iron would be used to burn her. Sometimes, she said, she’d be bitten or scratched, and her hair would be pulled out. Doctors at Childrens’ Hospital in Oakland, California found scars on the child’s hands, face and back. The injuries were so severe, they say, it’s remarkable the child is alive. The biggest shock of all was yet to come. Police say the person who inflicted such awful injuries on the little girl was her own mother -- Greisy Valencia. Police and social workers say they discovered that Valencia had abused and tortured her daughter since the child was just four-years old. The head of the investigation, Detective Keith Stiver of the Hayward police department, says Valencia is heartless. “She’s a monster. She’s a vicious, vindictive person who hurts children.” Valencia was last seen in Manteca when the child was taken into protective custody. She normally works in fast food restaurants and may have fled to the Sacramento area. 4 fugitive watch® news 14-186 UNKNOWN murder Novato police have released a sketch of a person of interest in the homicide of Jimmy Lucero Tejada whose body was found Saturday by a hiker near Loma Verde Open Space Preserve in Novato.

Police said officers arrived on the scene, found Tejada’s body and determined that he had been murdered. The Marin County coroner responded to the scene to investigate the death.

The unknown male has been caught cashing several fraudulent checks at multiple banks in Collier County over the last few months. The checks were all stolen after being placed in mailboxes, then clearly removed by the suspect or an accomplice. The checks were then washed or altered, with payee names and dollar amounts changed. It is believed that the suspect used stolen identities in order to successfully cash the checks without question. While the suspect may be local, detectives believe he may also be coming back and forth to Collier County from the east coast. Richmond police are searching for Melinda Leketia Gaffney, suspected of shooting and killing a teenage boy outside of an apartment complex. Gaffney, 30, is wanted on a $1 million arrest warrant in connection with the murder of 16-year-old Terrance Forks, Richmond police Sgt. Nicole Abetkov said. Abetkov said Gaffney and Forks were apparently fighting before she allegedly shot him in front of the Crescent Park Apartments. Officers responded to the area after receiving an alert from the city’s ShotSpotter activation system and a 911 call about a fight and a possible shot fired at the same location, according to police. Police arriving on the scene found Forks suffering from a gunshot wound. He died at the scene. Gaffney reportedly fled the scene in a white four-door Lexus sedan. Police have since recovered the car but the suspect remained at large.

By Douglas Rose San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed, who has been busy lecturing everybody in the state on how to operate their pension systems, has quite a problem on his hands. Reed’s mismanagement and neglect of a major problem in the San Jose pension systems has cost taxpayers and system members well over $94 million dollars the past three years. Reed has long been aware of this problem, having been told both in person and in writing. In November, 2011, the Federated Board and Police/Fire Board wrote separate letters to Reed and oth- er city leaders documenting the impact on investment results due to lack of staff. The Board indicated that investment staff shortages had left the plan un-invested in asset classes and had literally cost the City and the Plans tens of millions of dollars in the last quarter. In no uncertain terms, the Board that the inadequate staffing problem would result in an increased cost to San Jose taxpayers that “could be tens of millions of dollars annually.” The letter concluded with a plea to fix the problem and save the City money it desperately needs. San Jose has two separate pension systems with their own Board of Trustees: Police/Fire for public safety employees, the Federated System for general employees. The two systems share one investment staff whose compensation is set by the city, not the pension boards. Half the staff positions have been continually vacant the past three years as investment staff left, and replacements could not be hired, due to below market salaries set by Reed and his city council. The staff shortages in turn have led to poor investment performance because asset allocations could not be fully implemented. The staffing shortage was not fixed, despite the stark recitation of losses and warnings of future losses in the letters. The funds underperformed their policy benchmarks—an investment loss by a combined $94 million dollars from 20102013. And the staffing problems actually increased. The Chief Investment Officer (CIO) left in July 2012 and this critical position remained vacant for the next twenty months because no qualified candidate would take the job at the sub-par salary. Today only one invest- 11 . ment officer remains on who was there at the time the letters were written. When a problem of this magnitude surfaces in a city, the Mayor has a duty use all resources available to solve the problem. In San Jose, Mayor Chuck Reed could have spent his time and political capital these serious issues with his own pension program but he chose not to. Today, San Jose taxpayers now have over 94 million reasons to wish that rather than scampering all over California telling others how to run their pension systems, had Chuck Reed spent more time in San Jose doing one thing – his job. Douglas Rose is a President of the State Association of County Retirement Systems, and a Trustee serving on the San Diego County Pension Board. The opinions expressed are his own. fugitive watch® news fw APR - 14 12 .

Cinco The 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day, but it should be! And Cinco de Mayo is not an American holiday, but it should be. Mexico declared its independence from mother Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810. And it took 11 years before the first Spanish soldiers were told and forced to leave Mexico. de replied, “Only one war at a time”. The French Army left the port of Vera Cruz to attack Mexico City to the west, as the French assumed that the Mexicans would give up should their capital fall to the enemy -- as European countries traditionally did. So, why Cinco de Mayo? And why should Americans savor this day as well? Because 4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862. The French had landed in Mexico (along with Spanish and English troops) five months earlier on the pretext of collecting Mexican debts from the newly elected government of democratic President (and Indian) Benito Juarez. The English and Spanish quickly made deals and left. The French, however, had different ideas. Under Emperor Napoleon III, who detested the United States, the French came to stay. They brought a Hapsburg prince with them to rule the new Mexican empire. His name was Maximilian; his wife, Carolota. Napoleon’s French Army had not been defeated in 50 years, and it Cinco de Mayo President Benito Juarez invaded Mexico with the finest modern equipment and with a newly reconstituted Foreign Legion. The French were not afraid of anyone, especially since the United States was embroiled in its own Civil War. When President Lincoln was asked if he was going to enforce the “Monroe Doctrine” which said that further efforts by European governments to colonize land or interfere with states in the Americas would be viewed by the United States of America as acts of aggression requiring US intervention, President Lincoln Under the command of Texas-born General Zaragosa, (and the cavalry under the command of Colonel Porfirio Diaz, later to be Mexico’s president and dictator), the Mexicans awaited. Brightly dressed French Dragoons led the enemy columns. The Mexican Army was less stylish. General Zaragosa ordered Colonel Diaz to take his cavalry, the best in the world, out to the French flanks. In response, the French did a most stupid thing; they sent their cavalry off to chase Diaz and his men, who proceeded to butcher them. The remaining French infantrymen charged the Mexican defenders through sloppy mud from Mayo HOTLINE: 1-800-9CAUGHT EMAIL: [email protected] a thunderstorm and through hundreds of head of stampeding cattle stirred up by Indians armed only with machetes. When the battle was over, many French were killed or wounded and their cavalry was being chased by Diaz’ superb horsemen miles away. The Mexicans had won a great victory that kept Napoleon III from supplying the confederate rebels for another year, allowing the United States to build the greatest army the world had ever seen. This grand army smashed the Confederates at Gettysburg just 14 months after the battle of Puebla, essentially ending the Civil War. Union forces were then rushed to the Texas/Mexican border under General Phil Sheridan, who made sure that the Mexicans got all the weapons and ammunition they needed to expel the French. American soldiers were discharged with their uniforms and rifles if they promised to join the Mexican Army to fight the French. The American Legion of Honor marched in the Victory Parade in Mexico, City. It might be a historical stretch to credit the survival of the United States to those brave 4,000 Mexicans who faced an army twice as large in 1862. But who knows? In gratitude, thousands of Mexicans crossed the border after Pearl Harbor to join the U.S. Armed Forces. As recently as the Persian Gulf War, APR- 14 fw 18 Mexicans flooded American consulates with phone calls, trying to join up and fight another war for America. Mexicans, you see, never forget who their friends are, and neither do Americans. That’s why Cinco de Mayo is such a party -- A party that celebrates freedom and liberty.
