The Sierra Sentinel wants to warn all citizens of Calaveras County that due to conditions at the Calaveras Sheriff's Office, which we have personally seen deteriorate over the past 3 1/2 years that you need to protect yourself.
We are not talking about protecting yourself from criminals. We are talking about protecting yourself from the Sheriff's department when and if you report a crime.
We have watched and seen reports written in the exact opposite to what was reported by victims, we have seen the Sheriff protect his most racist and vile friends.
And we have seen the victim written up as if THEY committed some crime. We are talking FALSE reports, disappearing and re-appearing reports, and investigations that go NO WHERE we believe because of corruption within the hierarchy of the department.
If you need to report something, either call 911 or the dispatch center and make your report. However, to make sure your words are accurately reported, then go ONLINE and make a report on the entire incident.
If the crime you are reporting isn't there, say so in the place for your report. Make it accurate and make a copy of it for your records.
Document everything, including the dates and times, deputies involved and even additional information online, including complaints about any officer you believe is corrupt in any way.
You have a RIGHT to make complaints, to sign a CITIZENS arrest form any time, as long as you don't use the 911 for regular calls and reports.
DO NOT allow any Sheriff's deputy to refuse you your CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, as we have seen. You should also not be COERCED into not making complaints by the Sheriff's Office.
One more thing::: Make sure you GET A COPY of anything written by a deputy or anyone at the Sheriff's Office. This corruption cannot be allowed to continue. You also have that right. Ask for it in email form EVERY time.
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT WE HAVE SEEN WRITTEN!!!

Everyone I've talked to agrees that we have to get rid of the person at the top, Kuntz. Corruption always starts at the top
I know several deputies who lie, falsify, do nothing, etc. If we get a new Sheriff, i'm telling him what I know. it won't do any good now.
Hopefully every citizen will let the new sheriff know who the bad deputies are. I'm so sick of the corruption.
I happen to know of at least one Seargent who is so corrupt, he leaks!!
Keep talking to everyone about voting for Garrahan
You got that right. I don't think Kuntz has a chance. People are just sick of the corruption and I've also got a list of bad deputies, lying deputies, corrupt sergents, etc.
I am told that Kuntz is good at calling female county employees degrading names. Also threatening to fire certain other employees that are supporting Pat Garrahan.
