XXVII - N0.11 MALIBU, CALIFORNIA June 9,1972 Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office Has Fascinating History Dating Back to the Year 1850 A MALIBU TIMES FEATURE When the California Consti¬ tution became law in 1849, it declared that the legislature was to provide for the election of County Sheriffs by the peo¬ ple. In 1850, George T. Burill was elected first Sheriff of Los Angeles County. He was assisted by a force of two de¬ puties. If a situation arose re¬ quiring additional assistance, the Sheriff would Deputize some of his personal friends. Thus began a Department of County government that has moved progressively forward through the years, with honor and credit. There is little in the way of documented history of the De¬ partment in its early days. There were no official records kept until 1915, and it was not until 1928-29 that the Depart¬ ment published an annual re¬ cord of its activities and ac¬ complishments. (Note: Bien¬ nial reports dating back to 1928 are available at the Los Angeles City Main Library). What is known of the early years originates from the var¬ ious writings and verbal de¬ scriptions of those connected or closely associated with the Department during this per¬ iod, from newspaper files, and from other sources. The first elections for the Office of Sheriff were held an¬ nually, but in 1882 the term of Office was increased to two years, and in 1894 it was in¬ creased to four years- the present length of term. Facts About Past Sheriffs Of the 23 who have served as Sheriff since 1850, 18 were elected and 5 were appointed by the Board of Supervisors to serve the unexpired term of thir predecessors. Of those appointed to Office, three were re-elected to the Office at the next polling. Three of our Continued on Page 9 In Uniform Airman Jack E. Boffing, son of Mr. and Mrs. H.R. Toepfer of 3751 S.

Pitchess warns all businessmen in the community that they could be contacted at any time by per¬ sons attempting to extort large sums of money by telephone. These criminals use many dif¬ ferent ruses, but the ones used most frequently are those threatening bodily harm to the individual or his family or the threat that a member of his family has been kidnapped. All calls, of this type should be viewed as potentially dan¬ gerous and the Sheriff’s De¬ partment’s primary concern is the safety of the victims or in¬ tended victims. Anyone receiving such a tel¬ ephone threat should follow these basic steps: 1. Listen carefully to the caller and attempt to recognize any peculiarities or distinctive qualities in the caller’s voice. 2. Write down in detail, every¬ thing the caller says; do not rely upon your memory. 3. If you have the capability, tape record the conversation. 4. Try to verify the validiyt of the call; i.e., if the caller says he has a member of your family, try to immediately as¬ certain by telephone that they are safe from harm. 5. Call your local Sheriff’s Sta¬ tion at once, and relate the complete information. Pepperdine Has New Assistant To Chancellor Dr. M.
