La palabra “OUTREACH” quiere decir que el programa se propone llegar a todos los sectores y vecindades de la comunidad hispana, tanto en las áreas rurales como en los centros urbanos. Su enfoque es más bien informar y educar al publico en asuntos de tráfico y seguridad en las carreteras a través de diálogo e intercambio, en ves de dictaminar sobre las leyes y reglamentos. Aprovechamos las oportunidades que nos permiten los foros públicos, reuniones de vecinos, reuniones escolares con alumnos y padres, y en centros comunitarios o comerciales para difundir nuestro mensaje de seguridad vial para todos a través de los medios de comunicación: prensa, radio, y televisión. La meta inmediata del programa El Protector es reducir el número desproporcionado de hispanos, de ambos sexos, que se ven involucrados en accidentes de tránsito ya sea como víctimas o conductores. Nuestras actividades van dirigidas a educar hispanos de la necesidad de tener, como individuos, una actitud y comportamiento positivo detrás del volante, y con ello conseguir una mejor relacíon entre la comunidad y las agencias policiacas. Nuestro recurso primordial son los agentes del C H P, que por ser bilingüe, se comunican con el público en Español o en Inglés. Entre ellos, los coordinadores son los encargados del programa en las distintas áreas del estado. El coordinador organiza los eventos comunitarios de su área o Division, y encabeza las presentaciones públicas sobre medidas de seguridad automovilista; su presencia sirve de modelo a la juventud. Actualmente, usted se puede comunicar con el coordinador estatal del Programa El Protector en la Oficina de Alcance Comunitario y Reclutamiento (Office of Community Outreach and Recruitment) al (916) 843-3210.

He’s such a dick.” Then he threw his backpack across the floor, spilling some of its contents. “Crap!” Dad was already sitting at the table. Looking up, he responded, “Don’t act like that in this house! We didn’t raise you that way. What’d you do, screw off at practice again?” Andy headed straight for his room, shouting as he slammed his door, “I’m not eating with you!” Stunned, Mary and Tom starred at each other. “How rude! That young man has to learn to control himself!” Mistakes to Avoid How would you have handled this situation in your home? Many parents would have handled it the same way, but Mary and Tom made some common mistakes. First of all, their underlying belief is that confronting the behavior will stop that behavior. The mistake they made was trying to extinguish rude behavior with rudeness. Another mistake was not identifying the real issue. They focused only on the negative emotions. If they had taken the time to check in with their son, they may have had another attitude toward Andy and vice versa. They could have said something like, “Wow, Andy, you seem really frustrated. What happened?” Andy would have responded differently to this supportive response, rather than dad becoming mad and blaming him. Another mistake is that these parents believe their son’s negative emotions reflect poorly on them as parents. So not to feel badly they ignored and denied their son’s frustration and moved straight into finding fault. To avoid raising a rude teenager parents need to do something different. Recent studies have revealed that the skills needed to help self-regulate emotions – even more than IQ – will determine a person’s success in all areas of life, including happiness and family relationships. Parents can influence a child’s emotional health by teaching them to identify what they are feeling and to take care of themselves in beneficial ways. Without these skills people tend to go unconscious about feelings and act out with destructive behaviors. The Importance of Learning to Bridge Emotions Bridging emotions includes knowing what you are feeling, taking responsibility for your feelings, being able to talk about what is going on inside you, and caring for yourself with appropriate self-soothing. Being able to label feelings gives us a sense of control. Feeling skills empower us. When parents help teens to recognize their emotions, it also lays the foundation for a shared relationship to solve problems together. Then kids don’t feel so alone in handling life’s complicated issues. Knowing what is going on inside helps us to care for ourselves by learning to act on our emotions instead of reacting to them. The ability to identify feelings, process them, pause and then choose to how to respond is called emotional intelligence. Three Tips for Parents to Teach “Feeling Skills” to Teens: 1. Practice patience. First of all, know what to expect. Teens are part of the human race and will act out. Adolescents are at times moody and rude. We all have to learn to master our emotions and self-soothe. Parents can aide in teaching these skills by first increasing our own emotional intelligence. Then when our child’s emotions erupt, we will not mirror their emotions. Instead, we will have the capacity to focus on helping them to calm and regulate their emotions. Being their ally, not the enemy, will aid the advancement of emotional intelligence. 2. Get inside our teen’s head to understand his or her world. We have to get to know our child’s internal mental landscape. Mary and Tom could have responded with: “You’re angry. Tell us what happened at practice.” Or “Sounds like the coach said something to you that was hurtful.” Or “Wow, we hear your frustration. Something must have happened to aggravate you.” Even if you don’t nail the feeling you are letting your son know you are witnessing his inner conflict. If there is an opening he will talk to clarify his feelings. 3. Speak to the emotions with understanding. When an emotion is named, kids feel heard, acknowledged and understood. Teens develop greater selfconfidence and a deeper understanding of themselves when they are aware of their emotions. When a teen is understood and understands what he is feeling, there is less chance of acting out negatively. Remember, any parent can learn to become an emotion coach. The key to avoid raising rude teens is to coach them in developing emotional intelligence -- helping kids to identify their feelings and bridge feelings with positive actions. Children will still get sad, angry or scared, but emotionally intelligent kids are better able to calm themselves down, bounce back from adversity, and carry on in life as productive adults. To learn the skills needed to emotion coach your teen refer to our books 10 Best Gifts for Your Teen (10-15 yrs. old) or Parenting Your Teen with TLC (14–18 yrs. old) or the CD package “Parents -- are You Prepared for the Teen Years?” sold on our web @ http://www. sasoseminars.com/tools.html or call to order (408) 262-6837.

Fugitive Watch®News FW March 2010 12 Cop Killer Sentenced to Death for Killing East Palo Alto Police Officer Published by Staff Writer on February 8, 2010 A San Mateo County Superior Court judge this morning sentenced 26-yearold Alberto Alvarez to death by lethal injection for killing East Palo Alto police Officer Richard May in 2006.”The circumstances of the murder were particularly savage and brutal,” Judge Craig Parsons said before imposing the sentence. “Death is warranted.”Alvarez, who was found guilty in November of first-degree murder with the special circumstance of killing a peace officer for the execution-style shooting of May, showed no emotion and declined to make a statement at this morning’s sentencing.”The motive for the crime was trivial…the defendant without warning opened fire on May,” Parsons said. Had Judge Craig Parsons not condemned Alvarez to death, he would have faced life in prison without the chance of parole. May was killed the afternoon of Jan. 7, 2006, after he responded to a report of a fight at a taqueria on University Avenue in East Palo Alto.He had followed Alvarez from the area of the taqueria to nearby Weeks Street, where the two exchanged gunfire. May was hit and fell to the ground. Alvarez then fired two additional shots at May, including a fatal shot to the head. When testifying in the trial, Alvarez claimed he shot May in self-defense. Parsons ordered Alvarez to be transferred to death row at San Quentin State Prison within 10 days.Prior to the sentencing, Parsons rejected the defense’s motion for a new trial, and upheld the jury’s conviction of first-degree murder with the special circumstance. Alvarez’s defense attorney Eric Liberman said outside the courtroom that he was “saddened” by Parsons’ decision, but that it didn’t surprise him. He said his client “seems to be holding up all right.””He’s always been remorseful for the hurt and damage he’s inflicted,” Liberman said. “The very night this happened, he called people and expressed he had done something that would alter his life forever.”May’s wife Diana May said after the sentencing today that she doesn’t believe Alvarez has ever shown any remorse.”I don’t think he is capable of feeling what a normal person does,” she said. “He doesn’t have a conscience.”May’s stepfather Frank Merrill said he hopes Alvarez will “take responsibility for what he’s done.””Unfortunately his death will be humane, unlike May who had to look down the barrel of a gun,” Merrill said. “This is a message in San Mateo County that when you execute a police officer, you get the maximum punishment,” prosecuting attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.Alvarez’s case will be automatically appealed to the state Supreme Court, as is every death penalty case in California. Convicted killer Scott Peterson was the last person to be sentenced to death in San Mateo County Superior Court after he was found guilty in 2004 of murdering his wife and unborn child.

You can’t understand the job I do. So what’s different, you ask, of me than you? You see the beauty of life each day and take for granted the part I play. You can go home and leave your troubles behind, but I am who I am, no matter the time. To carry a gun and not to abuse it, and praying to God I won’t have to use it. Everyday to be willing to risk my life, wondering if, again, I’ll see my children and my wife. Police Officer Lisa Beaulieu Beaumont Police Department, Texas Another vehicle had stopped behind Officer Beaulieu’s patrol car, which was positioned in the right travel lane. She approached the vehicle from the passenger side to speak to the occupants. As she was speaking with the occupants, a drunken driver drove up to the scene and swerved onto the shoulder, drove in between the vehicle and guardrail, and struck her. Officer Beaulieu was thrown over the wall of the overpass and landed on the service road below. The drunk driver was taken into custody at the scene and subsequently charged with intoxication manslaughter. He was convicted of the charges and sentenced to 11 years in prison. Officer Beaulieu was 36 years old and had been a police officer for 6 years. In Blue or Green I’m still easy to see so there’s really never a safe place to be. When you see danger, you can run and hide, but I have ethics that I must abide. To go to work knowing this could be the day when some crazed lunatic might blow me away. To care for the injured, to deal with the dead, is always the part I truly dread.

Fugitive Watch®News FW March 2010 America’s Toughest Sheriff Introduction by Fugitive Watch CoFounder Scott Castruita It has been reported that Maricopa County Jail inmates once complained to Sheriff Joe Arpaio about having to live in tents in the 100 degree Arizona heat. His response will remain one of the most remembered quotes in law enforcement history. Sheriff Arpaio told all of the inmates: “It’s 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and they have to wear full battle gear, but they didn’t commit any crimes . . . so shut your ___________ mouths.” You probably know him as “America’s Toughest Sheriff,” a name given to him years ago by the media. It’s a name he certainly has earned as head of the nation’s third largest Sheriff ’s Office which employs over 3000 people. But even before he became Sheriff in 1993, Joe Arpaio was one tough lawman. Sheriff Arpaio has been reelected to an unprecedented five 4-year terms. During his tenure as Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arpaio has consistently earned extraordinarily high public approval ratings. Arpaio has over 10,000 inmates in his jail system. In August, 1993, he started the nation’s largest Tent City for convicted inmates. Also impressive are the Sheriff ’s get tough policies. For example, he banned smoking, coffee, movies, pornographic magazines, and unrestricted TV in all jails. He has the cheapest meals in the U.S. too. The average meal costs about 15 cents, and inmates are fed only twice daily, to cut the labor costs of meal delivery. He even stopped serving them salt and pepper to save tax payers $20,000 a year. The Sheriff ’s Posse, whose ranks have increased to 3,000 members under Arpaio, is the nation’s largest volunteer posse. Posse men and women help in search and rescue and other traditional police work as well as in special operations like rounding up deadbeat parents, fighting prostitution, patrolling malls during holidays, and investigating animal cruelty complaints. The posse’s contributions are invaluable and essentially free to taxpayers. His leadership and the excellent work of his staff have catapulted the Maricopa County Sheriff ’s Office into the ranks of elite law enforcement agencies. 19 Fugitive Watch®News FW March 2010 20 Se Habla Español Fugitive Watch®News FW March 2010 21 Fugitive Watch Factoids Approximately 5,300 American soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen have been killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

And he used it lickety-split. As a bailiff escorted him and other inmates across a parking lot to the Allegan County Courthouse on Wednesday, the 57-year-old inmate suddenly produced a handcuff key and unlocked himself. He dashed away, but his time out of the clink was short-lived. Police nabbed him less than 10 minutes later after a citizen spotted him in his orange jail uniform and called police. Authorities now are investigating how Erickson, jailed for allegedly passing counterfeit traveler’s checks in the Saugatuck area, obtained the handcuff key. They didn’t know whether he somehow smuggled it into the jail or possibly snatched it from a guard. Allegan County sheriff ’s Lt. Frank Baker said handcuff keys, about 1-inch long with round cylinders, are typically interchangeable. “You could stick it in your mouth. You could probably have it there all day and no one would notice it. They are very small,” he said. Baker said it’s possible a visitor could have smuggled a key into the jail. Erickson was transferred from a state prison to the Allegan jail on April 27 to resolve the charges involving the traveler’s checks. He already is serving a prison term for a check scam in Oakland County. Baker said records show Erickson appeared to be from California. “It sounds like he was just passing through when the incident in Saugatuck happened,” he said. “I think he’s real transient.” Erickson was the last in a line of inmates being led less than 100 feet from the jail to the courthouse Wednesday for court appearances. After Erickson unlocked himself and bolted, a citizen spotted him near some shrubs and he was arrested on Cedar Street. Erickson now faces an escape charge, a four-year felony. © 2005 Grand Rapids Press.
