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
20 Silver Star  July 2013
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.
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.

Fir s t R e s p o n d e r The Prison Rape Elimination Act
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
rP ogram
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.

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.
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”. 

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 part-

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 Martin
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.

for the safety of staff and other patients when you have detained

Why doesn’t the facility just write the 5150 and call an

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.

First North County
Gun BuyBack
On Saturday, May 18, the San Marcos Sheriff’s

Dustin Nelson.
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

assisted the San Marcos Sheriff’s Station with

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.
Just some of the long guns turned in during the North County Gun Buyback.

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
Who grew the best ‘stache? (standing from left) Jeremy Bedingfield, Christopher Perez, Brandon Shelton, Marcos decided to make it happen.

pretty solid mustache. He is that guy who was
born to have a ‘stache. Of course the team

San Marcos COPPS and with a challenge to see who could grow the
GET units who made sure best mustache in one month. One by one,
the event went off without 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

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.
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
station reports <<<
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. 
