Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz and Sheriff
Captain Jim Macedo have promoted Betty Miner to the position of volunteer
captain and Ed Anderson to volunteer lieutenant. Also promoted to the rank of sergeant were
Bob Fienberg and Ralph Carlascio.
Under the new structure, Captain Miner will administer
the overall volunteer program and oversee coordination with the Calaveras
County Sheriff’s Department. In addition,
she will monitor the Board of Directors, conduct background checks on potential
volunteers, over-see the volunteer unit’s secretary, treasurer and information
officer.
Lieutenant Ed Anderson will supervise the unit’s
patrol and event activities and organize training. As well, he is responsible
for quartermaster supply needs. His
main activity will be to insure the sheriff substations and beat patrols run
efficiently and maintain a regular schedule.
Both Captain Miner and Lieutenant Anderson will work
together to maintain the essence of the job; patrolling, interactions with the
public and preventing crime.
Captain Miner and Lieutenant Anderson stress the need
for new uniformed volunteers. Currently
there is a need for volunteers at all sub-stations. Any retired or semi-retired person interested
in joining this unit is encouraged to visit one of the sheriff substations
throughout the county or call (209)754-6500. The substations are located in
Copperopolis, Valley Springs, Arnold, Mokelumne Hill and West Point. Training is provided for new volunteers and
background checks are made on all applicants.
Senior citizens welcome!
Each substation has an appointed sergeant. They are: Copperopolis, Bob Fienberg, Valley
Springs, Aurora Weatherby, Arnold, Ross Sheely, Mokelumne Hill and West Point,
Ralph Carlascio.
