Sheriff Ian Parkinson’s Message

As we move past the primary electionseason, we can devote all of our focus onthe next four years, and no longer theelection. I am very grateful for theindividual support that I received frommembers of SAF, in my successful re-election campaign.

Most pressing needs. The most pressingneeds at hand are; taking possession of thenew medical/ programming building,remodeling the new Mental Health Unit(MHU) and determining our future plansfor medical and mental health staffing andservice in the jail. This process began withthe hiring of our first ever Chief MedicalOfficer. First Chief Medical Officer. DoctorChristy Mulkerin was officially hired onMarch 6th of this year. Dr. Mulkerincomes to us from the Health Agency, whereshe served as Assistant Public HealthOfficer. She had been assigned to the jailseveral months before the County approvedthe new position. During that time, we hada chance to work with her and observe herwork performance. I was very impressedwith Dr. Mulkerin’s work ethic, knowledgeand care for inmates. I was so impressedwith her performance that I activelyrecruited her for the new position.Fortunately, she accepted the new role andsince being hired has hit the groundrunning. She has been actively working on preparingfor the move into the new building, andplans for the new MHU building. She hasbegun outreach to local hospitals to

establish solid working relationships andeducating them in regards to ourcapabilities at the jail. She has also beenvery involved in the evaluation of thefuture direction of health care in the jail.None of these tasks are easy and require asignificant amount of time, thought andeffort. She validates every day the decisionto select her for the position. Change in health care in the jail. Thischange in health care in the jail issignificant in many ways. This is the firsttime in the history of the Sheriff’s Officethat medical and mental health has been runby the Sheriff. In addition, the needs of theinmates have changed dramatically. Overthe next six months, jail medical andmental health will transform into a newsystem of care, never before experienced inthe County Jail. Foundation Board. The Foundation Boardhas met Dr. Mulkerin and will soon get theopportunity to view the new facility. Lastly,I would like to thank SAF for theirwillingness to take on private fundraisingfor the new Mental Health Unit. Funding for MHU. We have commitmentsfor over $300,000 and are well on our wayto be able to fund our remodel, supportedby the community.

Chairman’s Message

Dear Members,

I have been honored to have been selectedChairman of the San Luis Obispo CountySheriff’s Advisory Foundation (SLOSAF)for the upcoming two years beginning July1, 2018 to June 30, 2020.

Founding Director. I am a FoundingDirector of SLOSAF, formerly Council,which was formed in year 1988 andremained as a Director for the past 30years. During this time, I also served asSLOAF’s Treasurer for 19 years. As one ofthe founders of the organization back in1988 during Sheriff Ed Williams’ first termin office, I have experienced its tremendousgrowth, both in terms of finance,membership growth, and activeinvolvement of the wonderful peopleserving as members of our Board ofDirectors. The Foundation has been activethrough three Sheriffs – Ed Williams(1987-1998), Pat Hedges (1999-2010), andIan Parkinson (2011-present), all of whomhave actively supported our group.

Outgoing Chairperson. I want to thankSylvia Dodd who has stepped down fromher second term of Chairperson of theFoundation.

Behavioral Health Unit. Continue to takethe lead in raising funds for the completionof the mental health facility in the Countyjail that will completely change themethods in which inmates are treated formental health issues including substanceabuse.

More Ways to Stay ConnectedCheck us out on Facebook & Instagram!

First, thanks to Chuck Houck and Vikki Houck who are members of SAF’s Marketing Committee and elected as Directors at theBoard of Director’s meeting on June 11, 2018. They both have the expertise with Facebook & Instagram and other website applications. Wegreatly appreciation their volunteer services for launching this website presence and maintaining it on a current basis.

Please like and follow both sites. Forward these sites to your friends and invitethem to “like” and “follow”.

*Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheriffsadvisoryfoundation*Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheriffsadvisoryfoundation

On June 29, 2018, via e-mail vote, the SAF Board of Directors approved the launching of SAF’s Facebook & Instagram’s websitepresence. The Marketing Team's Vision is as follows for Facebook and Instagram:

A. Short Term Goals: Develop and implement a strategy to build on the positive image and name recognition of the San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Advisory

Foundation (SAF) through internet sources. Increase our membership Reach a younger audience promoting a positive image of SAF and the agencies we help. Control our SAF messaging to be fluid and consistent through Facebook, Instagram, Website, and our newsletter. Never put SAF’s non-profit status in jeopardy. Never accept anything whatsoever from anyone to manipulate a post. Such as, a

politician or a SAF contributor who is seeking to gain in popularity or compensation. Never compensate anyone in any form whatsoever toparticipate in or to sign a waiver to be in a post. Remember a post that goes up can also come down.

B. Additional opportunities available through these media avenues: Promote our events i.e. Sheriffs Family Day or Fundraisers. "Brag boards" highlighting things SAF has supported, like the drone . Announce that the SAF booth will be at an event and invite the public. Announcements, such as the press conference for the Behavioral Health Unit . Public service style announcements. As an example, safety tips. Follow the messaging structure already used in the newsletter. Such as a taped message from the Sheriff. A way to promote sponsorship with a sponsor thank you, yet cannot be a commercial for their business

C. Ideas for periodic features: "Top Cop Tuesday" work through the Sheriff's Office and the Police Chief of any agency we have helped for guidance. "Sponsor Spotlight Saturday" "Safety Tip" Such as garage doors left open or stop mail on vacation. Neighborhood Watch. Drive up and get pictures for updates on the plane Past accomplishments for SAF such as the Drone, Humvee, K9 dogs etc. Training coverage, such as Search & Rescue, K9, or the Range. Citizens Academy Honor farm bicycle program, women's honor farm sewing program.

New DroneThe Sheriff’s Advisory Foundation raised private funds of $29,970.90

to purchase a drone for the Search & Rescue Team The Sheriff’s Advisory Foundation was very excited to provide the

funding for the newest Search & Rescue tool. The Sheriff’s Search andRescue Team, although highly trained and experienced professionals, risktheir own lives for the rescue of others. This state of the art high tech DJIMatrice 210 drone is capable of carrying the FLIR (Forward LookingRadiometer) and a 30 Power Zoom Camera. This will lead to fastersearches of vast areas and cliffs, even in darkness. This not only helps tofind injured or unconscious victims faster, it lessens the risk for Search &Rescue personnel.

Just imagine having to put on all your gear and rappel down a clifflooking inch by inch for a survivor. Then you must climb back up, moveover 10’ and beginning the process again. Other than the inherit danger tooneself, you would be exhausted by the time you found the personneeding medical treatment and rescue. Having a drone do this workenables them a safer quicker way to find a survivor. The drone also

enables the rescue workers the ability to assess the medical needs, logistics of the rescue and equipment needed before suiting up and thendescending.

Anyone living in the County of San Luis Obispo should want to contribute to the Sheriffs Advisory Foundation, Leading the Wayfor Public Safety.

Sheriff's Office Press ReleasesProvided by Tony Cipolla

BurglaryOn 06/25/2018 at approximately 6:00 pm a Deputy was dispatched to handle a residential burglary report where the victim felt that aneighbor may have been involved. The victim felt the neighbor was possibly involved due to past issues with him and the fact that theresidence was unoccupied for less than a half-hour. He pointed out the neighbor's residence to the Deputy which was approximately 1/4mile away. After the Deputy processed the scene for evidence it was determined that 2 firearms, a tablet, and misc. items were taken in theburglary. The Deputy contacted the "Resident Deputy" for that area to inquire whether he knew the name of the possible suspect. He didand provided historical information to the Deputy. The "Resident Deputy" program again proved it's value in this investigation. SheriffParkinson feels it is imperative to have Deputies in the rural areas assigned as "Resident Deputies" due to geographical challenges of ourlarge county. This case is a great example of how the program was utilized to solve a crime very fast with one phone call. The originalDeputy responded to the suspect's residence where he was able to make verbal contact with the suspect. He was holding one of thedescribed pieces of stolen property while he was inside a fenced in area with several dogs. The suspect would not exit the property. It wasdetermined due to the hour the case would be followed up by the Detective Division the following day during daylight hours. Detectiveswrote a Ramey Warrant for the subject and a Search Warrant for the suspect's property. A plan was formulated utilizing the "ResidentDeputy's " knowledge of the suspect and property. The suspect was taken into custody by the "Resident Deputy" without incident. All thestolen property was recovered during the warrant service. Daniel Donald Becker DOB: 07/06/1975, Santa Margarita was arrested for PC496 Possession of Stolen Property, PC 29800 (A)(1) Felon/Addict poss. Firearm. A misdemeanor arrest warrant out of Santa BarbaraCounty. Additional Charge of Burglary was also requested in the District Attorney Filing.

My husband, Chuck, and I moved to San Luis Obispo County in April 2016 when we sold our home inWestlake Village and our horses and ranch in Agoura Hills. After moving here we met KathyMartinelli. She suggested we may be interested in the Sheriff’s Advisory Foundation. She also told usabout the Sheriff’s Citizens Academy which we attended in the fall of 2017. We feel in these currentturbulent times, law enforcement must have our support and encouragement more than ever. We arealso impressed with the professionalism and talent within the Sheriff’s Advisory Foundation. After wejoined, Sylvia Dodd took us under her wing and we have been actively involved ever since.

New Gold SponsorWelcome to Zorro’s Café & Cantina

Our Story

Hola! Welcome to Zorro’s Café and Cantina! We hope you enjoy your dining experience with us. We are a local, casual café thatbelieves in wholesome food made with fresh ingredients, along with a feeling of being at home. This café has been here for over 25 years.Originally opened as a Spanish restaurant, the building was then converted to a real estate office for a short time before returning to itsroots as a café. When I was acquiring the café, after eight years of working here, a patron asked me, “What are you going to name it?” Iwas unsure and asked for help deciding. Many people suggested that I select something personal.

Why is “Zorro’s” so personal? When hearing the name Zorro’s, most people think of the legendary hero featured in the movies,an outlaw living in Spanish colonial California, defending the people of the land. In fact, in personalizing the café, my husband, Steve, andI decided to name it after our Blue Merle Australian Sheppard, Zorro. His breed originates in the Basque region of Spain. Zorro wascunning, like a fox, which is where he got his name. Zorro is Spanish for “fox”. Regardless of what the name Zorro’s means to you –whether it be the swashbuckling defender of the people from Mexican folklore, or the cunning and sleek animal of the wild, or the bestfriend and most loyal companion a person could ever wish for – we are certain that when you think of Zorro’s Café and Cantina you willthink of great food, excellent service and a comfortable and warm atmosphere. We hope that it also brings to mind, as was our intent fromthe beginning, great friends and good times.

¡Gracias! and thank you again, Cindy and family
