“Leading the Way for Public Safety”
1
This is not an easy topic to discuss. But then again,
conversations about difficult situations seldom are. That’s
exactly why we need to talk… to each other. I’m referring to the
tragic death of George Floyd in Minnesota and the aftermath of
protests and in some cases, violence against one another.
Let me begin by saying, when I watched the video of that
incident, I was shocked, saddened, and angry over what I saw.
I’ll admit I don’t have all the details of what happened, but what I
do know is that the images I saw should have no place in law
enforcement. The officers involved deserve to be prosecuted for
their actions and in some cases, their lack of action. I know all of
the city’s Police Chiefs, law enforcement executives and law
enforcement personnel that I have spoken with feel the same
way. There is simply no reason a man had to lose his life
because of the actions of another.
We cannot ignore racism and we cannot tolerate it as a
community. We must denounce it and do everything we can to
prevent it. I have served 37 years in this county in law
enforcement and as a peacekeeper. I have always stood
against racism and discrimination and always will. Your local law enforcement is committed to
unifying our community through dialogue and solutions and not divide over hate and anger.
I wholeheartedly support the community’s right to exercise their first amendment rights to protest
and express themselves in a non-violent and non-destructive manner. So far, we have had several
gatherings throughout the county. Most have been peaceful. Others have tested the limits of what
a peaceful congregation can and should do. We have seen how some protests in other parts of the
country have become violent. And in doing so, the message of injustice and systemic racism has
been overshadowed or in many cases lost completely in the ensuing chaos. It’s not who we are.
It’s not who we should be.
My expectation is that the protests in our county will remain peaceful. But let me be clear, I will not
stand idly by and allow people to damage property or hurt people. Our role is to keep the peace by
protecting all people and property and that is what we will do. During these protests, our Deputies
have seen both extremes, from verbal assaults hurled at us to those thanking us for keeping the
peace. We understand. That’s what democracy is all about. The freedom to speak your mind.
I heard one of the speakers at the NAACP rally state that we should do more, and I agree. I have
begun to plan, work and learn from the people around me both at work and in the community to
help heal and help unite people locally. We have been living in a world of constant criticism on
many fronts. It is time to stop blaming and accusing and start working toward real solutions. This is
who we are. This is who we should be.
Posted on Facebook by Deputy Nicholas Dreyfus prior to being shot and critically injured during the Paso Robles Active Shooter incident.
To all those people, know this. You can hate us, slander us, and think we are terrible people
because of what we do for work, but when you call us for help, we will be there.
In your most tragic days, we will be there to help pull you through.
When someone is trying to break into your house, we will be there.
When your lives are in danger, we will intercept that danger and protect you.
When your family member is suicidal, we will be there to intervene.
We will willingly run into a school toward the gunfire to save your children from active
shooters.
We will lay down our lives in your defense and in defense of the people you love.
We will do these things with little to no hesitation. Remember that.
If you’ve read this far through this message, thank you for taking the time to read it.
Hopefully it offered some perspective.
Don’t support the spread of hate, no matter who it’s directed at or where it comes from.
Feel free to share this with anyone you think needs to hear it.

Chuck Houck
San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Advisory Foundation
Chairman of The Board
Speaking for all of the Sheriff’s Advisory Foundation, we thank you Law
Enforcement for doing a job most of us are not capable or willing to do. It
takes a strong and brave person to deal with the challenges you face on a
daily basis. We appreciate the burden of having to make quick decisions
in life saving or deadly situations with no guarantee you made the right
one. We trust you because of your commitment, training and experience
to help you handle the pressure of making the best decision in those
moments. Few people can knowingly put their safety in danger over
others or make split decisions like all of you have recently demonstrated.
The Sherriff’s Advisory Foundation is now 260 members strong and
growing. We have a common goal, which is to support our Law
Enforcement in San Luis Obispo County. We welcome new members who
share our commitment.
This county is unique in the knowledge that our Law Enforcement Officers
and Deputies are our neighbors, attend the same gyms, shop in the same
stores, attend the same places of worship, hike the same trails, pay the
same taxes, surf the same waves and their kids go to school with ours.
They are our friends and family. They live here among us shoulder to
shoulder as part of our very diverse community. We all share our
experiences together in this wonderful county of ours. 8

Sue has been working with photography for over thirty five years where she lives in Arroyo
Grande. She started her photography business, Blue Moon Photography, in 1997 and
worked with a partner for 7 years. She continued the business for another 7 years still
photographing weddings, portraits, events and commercial photography. She has a degree
from Gonzaga University in Sociology. She has always had a great love of art and
photography and has sold many pieces of work throughout the country. Prior to Blue Moon
Photography, Sue and a friend started a greeting card business called Lens Lines. Their
cards were sold in gift shops throughout the coastal communities.
Sue is married to Joe Schimandle, Charter Treasurer of the Sheriff’s Advisory Foundation,
and immediate past Chairman. She and Joe have two adult sons, as well as their daughter-
in-law, two grandsons and a great grand baby. One of her proudest accomplishments is
having raised, along with Joe, two sons who are good caring individuals and citizens.
She has worked in advertising and done historic photographic research in her position. She
worked for Joe in his CPA firm over many years. She has been a long time volunteer in the
community and has served on boards as well as numerous fundraising committees.
Sue has always been a strong supporter of law enforcement and has continued to show her
support by joining the Sheriff’s Advisory Foundation. She believes that in volunteering we
can share talents with many who are in need of support. Volunteers are the backbone of
many organizations that need the additional help, but do not have the funds for paid
positions. As a volunteer, she can promote the organizations that share her values.
