Posted by: thepinetree on 07/09/2018 09:25 AM

Mountain Ranch, CA...This is regarding the officer involved shooting in Calaveras county on 7/5/18. I would like to share facts that the Sheriff's department left out of their statement and clear up some FALSE information they publicized to everyone: First I would like to publicly apologize to the officers involved for the position John put you in. I can not even imagine what you went and are going through. And your families. I would like to commend you for doing your job, as I respect your position and doing what you were trained to do in that situation.

Five New Sheriff's Volunteers Heading to the Streets, Events & Lending a Helping Hand |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 07/09/2018 04:06 PM
|
San Andreas, CA...Sheriff DiBasilio administered the oath as 5 new members of the Calaveras County Sheriff's Volunteer Unit were sworn in. The Calaveras County Sheriff's Volunteer Unit is a group of individuals who support the Sheriff's office by working the county substations, doing patrols, working special events, and tackling many of the routine tasks, therefore freeing up paid deputies and saving county resources for other important needs. You will often see the volunteers at parades, the county fair, and other events. In addition to traffic control and crowd safety, the volunteers also take some of the paperwork burden off the Sheriff's department, offering a cost effective yet secure means of sharing the workload.
From L-R: Sheriff DiBasilio, Terry Bullock, Kathy Martin, Jan Jakubek, Bob Barron, and Jim Currier. |
