Vic is a U.S. Air Force veteran who served as an aide to the General Staff at the Pentagon for many years.  He has retired as a Reserve Peace Officer in the Bay Area and moved to Calaveras County to enjoy his golden . 

            Despite Sgt. Vic’s retiree status, he has never forgotten his mission in life, which is to give back to the local community where he lives.  He continues to volunteer many of his leisure hours in administrative work, patrol, public events and being an excellent role model for the new recruits to the Calaveras County Sheriff Volunteers Unit.
