- NYPD Sgt. Suspected of Murder -
- OFR -
Sergeant placed on desk duty in wake of ex-girlfriend's murder
By Tom Hays, Associated Press, 1/17/2001 20:26
NEW YORK (AP) A police sergeant was stripped of his gun and badge and
given
desk duty Wednesday as detectives sought to solve the mysterious fatal
shooting of his estranged girlfriend.
Sgt. Martin C. Peters, 36, a five-year veteran of the force, was
questioned
as a possible suspect following the shootings of Juliette Alexander and
a
friend of Peters, Nigel Callendar, early Tuesday in the woman's Brooklyn
apartment, police said. The sergeant was released without being charged,
but was placed on modified assignment.
Callendar, 32, who survived with neck and hand wounds, has given several
conflicting accounts of the incident, including an early one implicating
the sergeant, police said. He later changed his story, insisting that a
stranger broke into the apartment and opened fire, possibly in a botched
robbery.
Asked about a pair of latex gloves he was wearing, Callendar claimed the
intruder had forced him to put them on, police said.
Peters' attorney did not immediately return a call for comment. Police
officials declined to discuss the case.
But a high-ranking investigator, speaking on condition of anonymity,
said
that a note was left on a table in the apartment which read, in part,
''Don't mess with my drugs or money.'' Detectives were trying to
determine
whether the note supported one theory that the shooting was drug
related,
or if it was a ruse, the source said.
The source also said investigators have determined the shooter used a
.32-caliber pistol, probably a revolver. Peters owns two guns: a 9mm
semiautomatic service pistol, and an off-duty .38-caliber revolver.
Alexander, 29, worked as a guard for the Immigration and Naturalization
Service at the Varick Street facility in lower Manhattan. She was the
mother of Peters' two children, a 5-year-old girl and an 8-year-boy.
Peters had dropped off the children at school the morning of the
shooting
before going to work at his second job with an armored car service
company.
The shooting occurred around 9:30 a.m. in Alexander's first-floor
apartment
in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Police arrived after Callender called 911.
Callender was in critical condition Wednesday at Kings County Hospital
Center.

Former worker accuses former Newark deputy chief of groping her
By Associated Press, 1/17/2001 15:15
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) A former police department employee charges that a
deputy
chief repeatedly groped her and demanded she perform sex acts.
Nereyda Silva ''was regularly and continuously subjected to demeaning
sexual comments'' from Deputy Chief Nicholas Dellavalle, according to a
harassment lawsuit Silva filed in federal court here last week.
Silva, of Newark, worked as a data processing clerk at the department
from
1993 to Aug. 31, 2000, the lawsuit said.
Dellavalle retired in 1999, department spokesman Sgt. Amilkar Velez
said.
Velez referred inquiries about the case to the city's law department.
A call Wednesday seeking comment at the law department was not
immediately
returned.
No phone listing could be found for Dellavalle.
Silva, whose age was not available, seeks unspecified monetary damages
in
the lawsuit, which is against the city, the department, the current and
former police directors, as well as Dellavalle.
The lawsuit said Silva was transferred in 1998 to the communications
department, which was supervised by Dellavalle.
Dellavalle repeatedly asked Silva on dates, told her of his sexual
desires,
made comments about her breasts and touched her breasts, the lawsuit
said.
When she refused to submit, Dellavalle reprimanded her for minor
violations
that were overlooked when committed by other workers, and ordered other
workers to file disciplinary reports against Silva, the lawsuit said.
Department officials took no action when Silva complained, the lawsuit
said.

A cop who was fired for having sexual relations with a
prostitute in a district attorney's office bathroom says the
NYPD should stop making him pay for it and give him his
job back.
In a Manhattan Supreme Court suit, Troy Jackson said his
"very stupid" rendezvous with a hooker in the Manhattan
DA's office was "a lapse of judgment" - but his being fired is
"shocking to the conscience."
"They gave him the harshest penalty they could and they
didn't have to," said Jackson's lawyer, Howard Sterinbach.
"He was an officer for seven years with a perfect record,
except for this."
Police spokesman Tom Antenen refused comment because
of the pending litigation.
Jackson argues in the court papers that he was technically
off-duty during the 1999 incident.
Having finished testifying before a grand jury, he started
chatting with a woman who said she was a prostitute. He
said he was a cop. They "talked about sex," the suit says
"and engaged in consensual sexual relations" in a women's
bathroom.

Diallo attorney decries Justice Department inaction in federal probe
By Associated Press, 1/17/2001 18:44
WASHINGTON (AP) An attorney for the parents of Amadou Diallo sent a a
stinging letter to the Justice Department on Wednesday decrying
officials
there for failing to act against four New York City Police officers
acquitted of slaying the unarmed West African immigrant.
''The seeming lack of courage displayed by the failure to either seek an
indictment or formally close the investigation could be taken by some as
an
example of 'politics' at its worst,'' lawyer Robert Conason wrote
''It is indeed cruel to the Diallo family to be promised a quick and
just
investigation only to be met with silence and inaction.''
Conason said the Democratic Clinton administration was passing
responsibility to the Republican Bush administration, which takes over
on
Saturday.
Conason's letter was sent to Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder, who
met
personally with the Diallo family and civil rights leader when they came
to
Washington in March to urge the Justice Department to file civil rights
charges against the four officers.
At the time Holder called the case a priority but made no guarantees,
saying that such cases are difficult to prosecute.
The Justice Department did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Sean Carroll, Edward McMellon, Kenneth Boss and Richard Murphy fired a
combined 41 shots at Diallo in the early hours of Feb. 4, 1999, in the
narrow vestibule of his Bronx apartment building. The officers testified
they were looking for a rape suspect and fired when Diallo reached for
what
they thought was a gun. It was his wallet.
The officers were acquitted of charges ranging from second-degree murder
to
reckless endangerment by a racially mixed jury in Albany.

Keller-Blind Justice
Federal judge William Keller does the LAPD's bidding by finding Bob
Mullally guilty of criminal contempt for exposing some of the
department's
most shameful secrets.
By Tony Ortega
New Times L.A.
In a court hearing Friday, there seemed to be little enthusiasm to
punish
the man, Bob Mullally, who had just been found guilty of a crime.
In the complex case, the victim of Mullally's crime was judged to be the
City of Los Angeles. But given the opportunity to request $86,000 in
restitution, Deputy City Attorney Victor Schulte asked the court that
Mullally not be required to pay the money back.
Mullally's prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Warren, seemed
equally
uninterested in a harsh penalty for the defendant. Warren noted that in
his
court pleadings, he'd specified no penalty at all.
Only one person in the courtroom seemed determined to throw the book at
Mullally. And that was the man who demanded that he be investigated for
the
crime in the first place: U.S. District Court Judge William Keller.
Wagging a bony finger at Mullally from the bench, the red-faced federal
judge chastised Mullally for violating a court order by leaking
confidential Los Angeles Police Department files to a television
reporter
in 1997. "You were taking the law into your own hands, and you're not
authorized to do that!" the judge barked. After delineating his reasons
for
doing so for some four hours Friday, Keller found Mullally guilty of
criminal contempt and scheduled his sentencing for March 27.
Last fall, New Times detailed the story of Mullally, a former bureaucrat
with a history of blowing the whistle on government wrongdoing, who had
run
afoul of the LAPD and Judge Keller ("Code Buster," cover story, October
5).
The case grew out of a lawsuit brought against the LAPD by the family of
a
woman killed in 1992 by her estranged husband, Victor Ramos, an LAPD
officer with a known history of spousal abuse. Ramos used his service
weapon to kill his estranged wife, her boyfriend, and himself. In order
to
prove that the Ramos case was not an isolated one, the family's
attorney,
Gregory Yates, convinced federal magistrate Carolyn Turchin to force the
LAPD to turn over confidential internal investigations of domestic
violence
committed by police officers. Before handing them over, Deputy City
Attorney Schulte redacted the records, blotting out the names of
officers,
victims, and witnesses. Yates signed a protective order agreeing to keep
the documents secret until trial.
Yates then gave the documents to an old college friend, Bob Mullally,
whom
he had hired because of Mullally's extensive background in government
personnel operations. Mullally digested the 4,000 pages of secret files
in
order to summarize them for Yates, and was shocked by what he found. The
documents showed that for the years 1990-1993, more than 70 officers had
been investigated for beating their wives and girlfriends. The
allegations
-- which included rape, battery, and child molestation -- were serious
enough that several officers had been disciplined administratively and a
few had been fired. But the LAPD had not arrested a single officer on
the
charges, and Mullally's records indicated that no cops were ultimately
prosecuted criminally.
After Mullally finished vetting the records, Yates let City Attorney
James
Hahn know what he had found. Within weeks, the city sought a settlement
to
the lawsuit, paying $2.15 million to end two related lawsuits stemming
from
the Ramos murder-suicide. In a deposition, Schulte testified that the
city
sought a quick end to the cases for the sole reason of keeping the
damaging
documents from becoming public.
Angry that the public would never know how domestic violence in the LAPD
was being covered up, Mullally says he leaked the files in 1997 to
former
KCBS reporter Harvey Levin. Levin's subsequent two-part series about the
documents resulted in quick city action. An investigation by then LAPD
Inspector General Katherine Mader confirmed that wife-beating officers
had
for years benefited from special treatment. The scandal resulted in
significant changes in LAPD procedure and the formation of a special
task
force to handle domestic-abuse cases in the LAPD's ranks.
But if the LAPD publicly promised to clean up its act, privately it
wanted
to punish the person who had forced it to change.
Schulte and police chief Bernard Parks both blamed Yates for leaking the
files, and asked the federal courts and the California Bar,
respectively,
to investigate the attorney. That's when Mullally stepped forward and
signed a declaration swearing that he alone had made the decision to
leak
the records to Levin.
The bar investigation was dropped, but in Keller the LAPD had a far more
willing champion.
Keller urged the U.S. attorney's office to prosecute Mullally and made
statements in a 1999 hearing that suggested he was already convinced
Mullally had committed criminal contempt.
Keller did little to dispel that notion last week when he did nearly all
of
the prosecuting in Mullally's bench trial himself, relegating assistant
U.S. Attorney Tom Warren to the sidelines.
"Have you figured out whose case this is -- his or mine?" Warren said to
a
court observer during a recess in the hearing. (Warren explained to New
Times that in contempt trials, the prosecutor's role is often nominal.
But
Keller's performance was remarkable.)
While Keller railed at Mullally and ridiculed his attorneys' arguments,
he
turned occasionally to a sheepish Warren, who dutifully, but seemingly
without relish, agreed with the judge.
At times, Keller's tirades against Mullally reached such a pitch that
Warren and Mullally's defense team seemed to be arguing together on a
united front.
Warren even acknowledged in court that good things had resulted from
Mullally's violation of the court order -- things that Warren admitted
would never have happened if Mullally hadn't fed the files to KCBS.
Keller angrily admonished Warren for not seeking a wider definition of
Mullally's criminal liability -- the judge widened it himself -- and
upbraided Warren for not launching additional investigations against
Yates
and Levin.
Despite several caveats from Keller about his concern for the victims of
domestic violence, it was clear that the judge was more concerned that
Mullally had violated the sanctity of a court order.
Mullally's attorney, Arizona State University law professor Jim
Weinstein,
argued that the protective order should never have been issued in the
first
place: By asking to keep the records secret, the city attorney's office,
Weinstein argued, had made the federal courts an accomplice in an
ongoing
government cover-up. Although Mullally had violated the terms of that
agreement, Weinstein argued, the public's right to know about serious
crimes hidden by the city outweighed the legality of the protective
order.
"When pigs fly," Keller responded.
After finding Mullally in contempt, Keller turned to the subject of
punishment. Mullally had been told that the maximum sentence he could
receive was six months in prison, and Keller said he wanted a background
study, called a presentencing report, done on Mullally before he'd make
a
decision on imprisonment. But then the judge began speaking about "fine
potential," which seemed to take Mullally and his defense team aback.
Warren stood up and informed Keller that the offense called for jail
time
or a fine, but not both. Keller then denied he had raised the subject of
a
fine, it was restitution he wanted to explore. He asked what Mullally's
leak had cost the city, and asked Schulte to address the court.
Schulte responded that in the city's original contempt motion (against
Yates, not Mullally), it had asked for $86,000 in restitution. (Schulte,
it
turned out, had not completely redacted all of the names in the 4,000
pages
-- not a surprise considering the Herculean task of blocking out every
piece of identifying information. Levin, in his TV reports, had been
able
to identify two cops investigated for spousal abuse: Al Abolos and Jon
Green. Abolos and Green then sued the city and others, including Yates
and
Mullally, for invasion of privacy, and later dropped the city as a
defendant. Defending against that lawsuit, as well as a cross-complaint
by
Yates, Schulte says, cost the city $86,000. It could be argued, however,
that if Schulte had been a little more careful redacting records, the
city
would not have found itself in the lawsuits to begin with.)
After telling Keller of the amount the city had lost, the deputy city
attorney requested that the city be withdrawn from the case. The city
did
not want the $86,000 from Mullally, Schulte announced.
"Motion denied!" Keller yelled.
Opinions vary about whether Keller will actually hit Mullally with the
hefty restitution order -- an order the Arizona man, who now makes $8 an
hour at a Scottsdale hardware store, says he would be unable to pay.
Schulte doubts that Keller will really ask Mullally to pay $86,000 for
leaking the documents. He surmises that Keller wants the city to brief
him
about the restitution amount in order to help him determine what number
of
days to imprison Mullally. "He might use it to give Mullally four months
instead of three months," Schulte told New Times after the hearing. He
explained that he had attempted to drop the restitution matter because
the
city isn't interested in Mullally's money.
"Protective orders are very important. We're not here for a penalty.
We're
not here for restitution. This is about honoring a court order," Schulte
said. (He denies that his redaction of the files and request for a
protective order had made him part of a government cover-up, as
Mullally's
attorney had charged. It was Mullally's perception that crimes were
being
committed by LAPD officers, Schulte says. But Mader's subsequent
investigation not only confirmed Mullally's contention that officers
were
going unpunished, but the inspector general uncovered even more heinous
acts by officers. Mader found that one officer, for example, had forced
his
pistol barrel into his wife's vagina against her wishes; the officer
received a mere reprimand.)
Mullally's attorneys are less sure that Keller won't slap Mullally with
the
huge restitution order. Jim LeBow, Mullally's lead attorney, says it's
clear to him that Keller is trying to put pressure on Mullally to
cooperate
in an investigation of Yates or Levin. (Yates' attorney, Janet Levine,
says
there's no evidence that her client had anything to do with the leak.
Levin, meanwhile, did not respond to a phone call.)
Mullally, however, says he's already said what he has to say: He leaked
the
files, and Yates had nothing to do with it.
Outside the courthouse after being convicted, Mullally told reporters he
didn't regret exposing the LAPD's dirty secrets.
"I'd feel worse if I stood by and said nothing," Mullally said.
On March 27, he'll find out how much prison time he will serve --
something
none of the wife-beating officers he exposed ever had to face.

DEA Agent Accused of Selling Data
By DAVID ROSENZWEIG, Times Staff Writer
A federal Drug Enforcement Administration agent has been indicted on
charges of bribery and fraud for allegedly selling confidential law
enforcement records to a San Dimas private investigative firm, it was
disclosed Monday .
Emilio Calatayud, 34, a 12-year DEA veteran, surrendered to authorities
Friday night and was ordered released on $100,000 bond after a hearing
before a federal magistrate Monday.
Calatayud is accused of receiving at least $22,580 in cash between 1993
and
1999 for providing Triple Check Investigative Services of San Dimas with
information he obtained by accessing criminal databases operated by the
DEA, the FBI and the California attorney general.
According to the 11-count indictment, Calatayud charged Triple Check $60
to
$80 for every individual criminal history he downloaded from the law
enforcement computer files.
Triple Check was not charged in the indictment. Assistant U.S. Atty.
Rebecca S. Lonergan declined to say whether the firm is cooperating with
investigators or is under investigation. The business' owner did not
return
phone calls seeking comment.
"The sale of confidential information by a member of a law enforcement
agency jeopardizes the viability of criminal investigations, threatens
the
safety of members of the public and undermines the integrity of our
entire
law enforcement community," U.S. Atty. Alejandro N. Mayorkas said in a
statement.
Calatayud had been under investigation since 1999 when he was placed on
paid administrative leave. With the filing of criminal charges, he is
now
suspended without pay.
"This is a guy who's never been in trouble before," defense lawyer
Douglas
E. McCann said before Monday's bail hearing.
Magistrate Stephen J. Hillman ordered Calatayud placed under "intense"
pretrial supervision and set his formal arraignment for next Monday.

Job of Overseeing Reforms at LAPD Attracts Nearly 20
Monitor: Some prominent attorneys are among them. City and U.S.
officials
will review submissions.
By TINA DAUNT, Times Staff Writer
Nearly 20 applicants, including some of Los Angeles' best-known lawyers,
are seeking to oversee the most sweeping set of reforms ever imposed on
the
Los Angeles Police Department, sources said Tuesday.
Officials from the city and the U.S. Department of Justice are expected
to
spend the next few weeks reviewing the applications to find the
person--or
team of people--best suited to monitor the LAPD's progress in
implementing
the wide range of fixes outlined in a recently filed federal consent
decree.
The applicants, who were required to submit letters of interest by
Tuesday
afternoon, include a number of former members of the U.S. attorney's
office
and people with long histories of investigating police abuse cases,
sources
said.
Although city officials have refused to release the names of the people
expressing interest in the job, sources said applicants include attorney
Andrea Sheridan Ordin, a former U.S. attorney under President Carter and
member of the Christopher Commission, which investigated the LAPD after
the
Rodney G. King beating.
Ordin is applying as part of a team that includes Michael Strumwasser
and
Fred Woocher.
According to sources, attorney Robert C. Bonner, a former federal
prosecutor who served as head of the Drug Enforcement Administration
during
the elder George Bush's presidency, has expressed interest in serving.
He
would oversee a team that would include attorney Richard Mosk and former
county Supervisor Ed Edelman, sources said.
After stepping down from the post in the Bush administration, Bonner
returned to Los Angeles in 1993 to handle high-profile criminal cases.
He
was one of the attorneys representing Heidi Fleiss during her trial on
money laundering and tax evasion charges.
Mosk, another longtime lawyer, was a member of the Warren Commission
that
probed the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and of the
Christopher Commission. Mosk also served as chairman of the Motion
Picture
Assn. of America's Classification and Ratings Administration Board. He
is
the son of California Supreme Court Justice Stanley Mosk.
Also applying for the position is attorney Stephen Yagman, who has
sparred
with the city on a number of police abuse cases over the years. Yagman
is
considered a longshot for the job because of a provision in the decree
that
disqualifies people who have sued the city.
Once in place, the monitor will have broad access to LAPD employees and
records and will write quarterly reports, updating the judge and the
public
on the city's progress toward complying with the requirements in the
114-page agreement.
The Los Angeles City Council approved the consent decree in November
under
pressure from the Justice Department, which threatened to file a lawsuit
against the city alleging that the LAPD engaged in a "pattern or
practice"
of civil rights violations.
Although officials are moving forward to find a monitor, they are
waiting
for a federal court judge to sign off on the decree. Federal court Judge
Garry Feess has so far declined to formalize the pact, because he wants
clarification on a number of issues, including what role he will have in
selecting the monitor.
Meanwhile, two council members said they still hold out hope that Los
Angeles can get out of the federal consent decree. Councilman Rudy
Svorinich Jr. said he plans to introduce a motion this week that would
rescind the council's approval of the decree.

We have a whistleblower statement which has been sent to the UNION
to release from a guard at Valley State Prison, there is a video to back
up the claim of unnecessary force to a female prisoner which was sent to
Senator
Polanco Friday night.
I will attempt to have copies of this letter mailed to the legislators
and AG
Bill Lockyer at the hearing with me today and hopefully be able to
include
it in our press packet.
The Guard's letter alleges that acting CDC Director Steve Cambra is
having
an [in]appropriate intimate relationship with Valley State Prison
Deborah
Jacque
and for that reason, complaints are being ignored or inappropriately
handled.
Lonnie DeWitt will hopefully be able to speak to these allegations at
the
hearing
today at 1 p.m. We are simply messengers but are very concerned.
Lonnie as
a former CDC employee can provide insight into the interpretation of
these
CDC documents and the video.
For example, why did this cell extraction take place at midnight? The
entire
reason seemed to be predicated on contraband of a window covering but no
contraband was found and the video shows that the window was not
covered. We
know from sources that the real reason for this psychological torment
was
that the inmate called one of the officers a name early in the day.
Another unusual aspect to the report is that a psychologist was
present. AT
MIDNIGHT! This could only happen by conspiracy, psychologists due not
work
at night 99.99% of the time. While this complaint isn't as bloody as
most of
our complaints, it does come from one of CDC's own employees.
The inmate is black, the instigating officers are white and Hispanic.
The
reports and the video conflict. We think this ought to be submitted
into
evidence and Cambra investigated right away for improper conduct with
the
Jacques, Valley State Prison Chief Deputy Warden.
The reason I am not presenting this personally is that I also have
Charles
Wesley's
statement to present besides my own long speech..

The alarming numbers of inmate deaths that recently occurred at
California
State prisons have added new dimensions to the term "death row." If the
objective of the California Department of Corrections is to correct
inmate
behavior - through death - then, it has clearly achieved its objective.
The unrelenting physical, mental and medical abuse and neglect by
correctional and medical staff, strongly suggest that every inmate,
housed in
a California State prison, is clearly on death row.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Lonnie DeWitt, and, as
many
of you know, I authored a book titled, "iN tHE cAR," which is an
autobiographical/exposé of the California Department of Corrections. I
am
representing the U.N.I.O.N. - United for No Injustice, Oppression or
Neglect.
Last week, a very courageous correctional staff sent Attorney General
Lockyer
a video tape along with a cover letter, Crime/Incident Report and other
documents that offer more than mere confirmation of institutional
racism,
benign neglect and CDC staff indifference toward inmates (and, in fact,
each
other). Copies of these documents were also sent to Senator Polanco,
the
FBI, the local NAACP and to others.
While I will not address specifics, I will adamantly state that the
video
along with the obviously fraudulent and falsified report reeks with
irregularities and inconsistencies.
There is also evidence of possible civil rights violation along with a
massive criminal investigation cover-up by the agency charged to
investigate
- CDC's Office of Internal Affairs.
In the cover letter, the "whistle-blower" also alleges extremely serious
and
inappropriate misconduct by the CDC Acting Director, Steve Cambra and
the
Chief Deputy Warden of Valley State Prison For Women, Deborah Jacquez..
While, at this point, these are simply allegations; however, should
these
allegations prove to be true, both individuals should be removed from
the
Department as their positions have been severely compromised.
Within the California Department of Corrections, a culture exists where
"good" correctional staff fear "bad" correctional staff. This fear is
real
and ultimately prohibits "good cops" from doing the right thing for fear
of
reprisal.
I, too, share this whistle-blower's disgust with my vote of "no
confidence" in
CDC's repulsive lack of humanity; in its perverted abuse of peace
officer
powers; in its absolute lack of ethical, moral and spiritual parameters
that
encourage selected staff misconduct while fueling and widening the gap
of
racial distrust among its staff.
During the 1998 Senate Corcoran hearings, Senator John Vasconcellos
suggested
that the top 200 CDC administrators and mangers be replaced. Perhaps,
now is
the time to reexamine the Senator's recommendation.
A few years ago, President Clinton visited China and commented on its
human
rights violations. I will repeat what I stated then: "President
Clinton
need not go to China to witness human rights violations. He simply has
to
look around; or, better yet, come to California."

Chronicle Staff Report Monday, January 15, 2001
A San Jose police officer who resigned from his job Friday was jailed
yesterday after allegedly threatening his former girlfriend with an
object
that looked like a hand grenade, police said.
Roderick Marinas, 34, was arrested around 1:30 a.m. yesterday while
sleeping in his car at a rest stop off Interstate 80 in Humboldt County,
Nev., northeast of Reno, said San Jose police spokesman Rubens Dalaison.
He said Marinas, who had worked for the department about 2 1/2 years,
went
to his ex-girlfriend's San Jose home Wednesday and refused to leave when
her husband arrived. Police were called and issued Marinas a restraining
order requiring him to stay away from the woman and her home.
Marinas resigned from the police department Friday morning. About 45
minutes later, Dalaison said, Marinas showed up at his ex-girlfriend's
home, told her he wanted to reconcile and showed her an object that
looked
to her like a hand grenade.
Marinas left before officers arrived. Police talked with him and his
lawyer
several times Friday and Saturday, and he said he planned to surrender
but
needed time to think, Dalaison said.
After being arrested on the San Jose warrant, he was taken to the county
jail in Winnemucca to await extradition to California. Marinas faces
charges of making criminal threats and violating the restraining order,
Dalaison said.

Broad Plan Aims to Improve Police Rapport With Public
By WILLIAM K. RASHBAUM
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don Hogan Charles/The New York Times
Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik hopes to use precinct commanders' meeting
reports to measure police response to neighborhood issues.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forum
Join a Discussion on Issues in Law Enforcement
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concluding that crime reduction alone will not satisfy New Yorkers who
often
say that the police do not treat them with respect, Police Commissioner
Bernard B. Kerik is planning sweeping changes in how the department --
from
officers on foot patrol to precinct commanders -- interacts with the
public.
The plan, which Mr. Kerik detailed in interviews last week, seeks to
build
rapport between officers and residents in several ways. Commanders will
be
ordered to attend a variety of community meetings, and to file detailed
reports describing residents' concerns.
They will be expected to use a customer service model, similar to that
used
by Wal-Mart Stores, aimed at making precinct station houses more
businesslike
and accessible. To that end, officers will be assigned to greet people
as
they walk through station house doors. Mr. Kerik said he was also
exploring
installing A.T.M.-style information kiosks in each station house, and
using
incentives like days off to reward officers who work well with the
community,
just as they are now used sometimes to recognize officers who make
significant arrests.
Mr. Kerik himself has promoted a former Queens precinct commander who is
known for his development of strong community ties to review how
effectively
precinct commanders respond to local complaints. And he said he would
hire a
consultant to survey public satisfaction with the police.
The commissioner explained that he hoped to use the precinct commanders'
meeting reports and the survey to measure how well the police respond to
neighborhood issues, and thus hold commanders responsible for improving
community relations, an area where progress has long been difficult to
document.
This quantitative measurement would be a tool similar to the
department's
vaunted Compstat process, in which weekly crime statistics are used to
measure the performance of police supervisors. "We've got to make
certain
standards of accountability at the precinct and then the borough command
level," Mr. Kerik said, "to insure that those people out there are
interacting with the communities and responding to the communities'
needs,
where they can."
With just 11 months left in his tenure, the commissioner is looking to
put
his own stamp on a department that gained widespread recognition for
record
crime reductions under his two predecessors, Howard Safir and William J.
Bratton. Aides to Mr. Kerik said he was well aware he would not be seen
as
breaking any new ground if his only accomplishment was to continue the
downward trend in crime.
Mr. Kerik's plan is also significant because it acknowledges the
severity of
a problem the department has long downplayed. Since the Brooklyn station
house torture of Abner Louima in 1997 and the fatal shooting of Amadou
Diallo
in the Bronx in 1999, some critics have argued that the department has
little
understanding of the minority communities it serves.
Mr. Kerik's immediate predecessor, Mr. Safir, had argued that whatever
breaches did exist between the police and these communities were largely
a
product of misperceptions fostered by the critics and the media.
But with this plan, Mr. Kerik appears to be acknowledging that the
department
shares the blame for public resentment of the police, and that a
concerted
effort must be made to address the problem and to change the
department's
culture.

"The culture change has got to come from the top," he said, "and has got
to
penetrate every ranking officer in the chain of command."
Although he said the department's main goal remains fighting crime, a
draft
outline of the new plan, which Mr. Kerik said he would present to
commanders
on Wednesday, notes that "any further gains in these areas will be
hollow
without the full support of the communities we serve."
Mr. Kerik said his plans differed from the widely publicized community
policing effort under Mr. Giuliani's predecessor, David N. Dinkins, in
several ways, including what the commissioner said was the earlier
program's
lack of standardization and performance indicators.
For his plan to succeed, Mr. Kerik will also need the cooperation of the
department's more than 27,000 rank-and-file officers, many of whom are
bitterly disaffected and feel underpaid and overworked.
Many also blame the Giuliani administration's quality-of-life crackdowns
for
straining community relations in the past. They question whether
enforced
attendance at meetings can repair damage done by zero-tolerance programs
that
often blanket neighborhoods with summonses for minor infractions and
that,
critics contend, single out minority youths.
Mr. Giuliani recently pledged an additional $100 million for the
department's
overtime program, known as Operation Condor, which funds additional
quality-of-life sweeps and other anti-crime programs.
Mr. Kerik, however, said he thinks that improved community relations and
quality-of-life enforcement can go hand in hand, arguing that aggressive
enforcement improves neighborhoods for residents, and better relations
help
the police do their job by building trust and understanding between
officers
and residents.
He also said that improving officer morale was a key component of the
new
program, which he developed after meeting with hundreds of community
leaders
and clergy members and holding focus groups with officers and
commanders.
In the focus groups, officers complained that they were often verbally
abused
by sergeants and lieutenants, which significantly affected how they
treated
the public. "You want the cops to treat people with respect," Mr. Kerik
said
in last week's interview, "then you better treat the cops with respect."
The plan also includes new training curriculum that focus on community
relations for recruits and supervisors and guidelines for precinct
commanders. Those commanders will bring patrol officers and those from
specialized units like Street Crime, and narcotics officers who do not
work
undercover, to monthly meetings so residents can get to know the police
who
work in their area and learn what they do and why.
Michael E. Clark, who heads the Citizens Committee for New York City,
which
provides training to some 12,000 neighborhood, block, tenant and youth
associations, said the groups he works with would welcome more regular
input
into how the department polices their neighborhoods. "Our hope would be
that
this doesn't just involve measuring how many times people attend
meetings,
but how many crime problems get solved in partnership with the
community," he
said.
One of the key elements of the plan is the requirement that all of the
76
precinct commanders attend their monthly Precinct Community Council
meetings.
The councils were formed more than 50 years ago to improve relations
between
the police and the communities they serve, and until now, the commanders
could delegate a subordinate to attend the meetings. The commanders must
also
hold a monthly meeting with local clergy members and attend a monthly
meeting
organized by their local community board's district manager, which is
held to
review city services.

(Page 3 of 3)
After each meeting, commanders must file a report listing the main
community
representatives at the meeting, their telephone numbers, the names of
other
police officers or supervisors who attended and whether they were
introduced.
The two-page report form requires them to detail individual issues
raised at
the meetings, with check-off boxes to indicate whether they are new or
old,
and if old, when an issue was first raised. There is also space for
commanders to indicate any action taken in response.
Reports will be filed with the police commissioner's office, where, Mr.
Kerik
said, they will be reviewed by his staff, headed by Deputy Inspector
James E.
McCabe, who until recently commanded the 110th Precinct in Corona,
Queens.
Mr. Kerik said he brought Inspector McCabe to his office to oversee the
new
plan because as precinct commander, he had developed strong community
ties.
If the same issues keep appearing on a precinct's report, Mr. Kerik
said, the
commander will have to explain why they have not been resolved.
Another of the plan's major components is the customer satisfaction
survey
that Mr. Kerik hopes will be conducted every month in each precinct to
measure four or five leading indicators of citizen satisfaction with the
police.
The deputy commissioner for policy and planning, Maureen E. Casey, who
is
overseeing much of the plan, including the design of a pilot survey,
said
about 100 people in each precinct would be questioned. Their names would
be
culled from the current 75 to 100 Police Department forms that require
contact information, among them enforcement paperwork, like arrest
reports,
summonses and stop-and-frisk forms, as well as other routine documents.
Ms. Casey said the department planned to hire an independent marketing
firm
to conduct the surveys, which officials hoped would serve as an early
warning
of problems and concerns about local policing. She also said it would
alert
department officials to neighborhoods where satisfaction was on the
rise, so
that successful programs could be exported to other precincts.
Efforts to improve the way officers interact with the public are not
new. In
1996, Mr. Safir unveiled a $15 million Courtesy, Professionalism and
Respect
campaign to improve the behavior of what he called the 1 percent of the
force
who did not act appropriately. Three years later, he updated the program
with
wallet-sized cards instructing officers to address people as "sir" or
"ma'am."
While Mr. Kerik's plan is more ambitious, he acknowledged that the
changes he
sought would not occur overnight, or even in a few months. But, he said,
"it
should happen, because to create a better working relationship between
the
police and the communities, it's just a benefit to the entire city."

Denver police issued a summons Monday to a rookie officer who was found
last month driving with a bullet in his leg and possibly while impaired
by
alcohol.
During their investigation, detectives learned that the officer, Jessie
Espinoza, 27, who still was on probation with the department, was
convicted
of a DUI in Boulder County in January 1996.
Espinoza is recovering from his wound and is on limited duty. He was not
on
duty at the time of the incident.
"Any further actions are pending," said Sgt. Tony Lombard, Denver police
spokesman.
Espinoza apparently shot himself in December. He said the gunfire
occurred
during a fight with another man at the Stadium Inn on East Evans Avenue,
according to a search warrant used to obtain blood taken from Espinoza.
However, officers said in their affidavit for the warrant that they
could
not find evidence of a crime at the Stadium Inn.
Instead, detectives found evidence of a bullet hole in the driver's seat
of
the 1991 Subaru Legacy that Espinoza was driving Dec. 21.
An officer clocked Espinoza driving 68 mph in a 40 mph zone and pulled
him
over. When the officer asked the wounded cop if he had been drinking,
Espinoza replied he had a couple of beers, detectives wrote.
In addition to driving while his ability was impaired, Espinoza was
charged
with speeding, driving while impaired within five years of a conviction
for
DUI, prohibited use of a weapon and being in possession of a firearm
while
under the influence of liquor. The charges are misdemeanors.

face trial
Albany-- Kenneth Kannes, the Rensselaer
detective accused in crash that killed his partner,
rejects plea deal, changes attorney
A Rensselaer detective charged in a May
drunken-driving crash that killed his partner is headed to
trial after the officer apparently rejected a plea-bargain
offer.
As recently as November, defense attorney E. Stewart
Jones Jr. was negotiating a plea arrangement for
Kenneth A. Kannes with the Albany County district
attorney and former County Judge Larry Rosen.
But Kannes, 41, recently replaced Jones with Peter
Gerstenzang. Assistant District Attorney Cheryl K.
Fowler, who is prosecuting Kannes, said Tuesday there
have been no negotiations with Gerstenzang --
considered an expert on DWI and on blood and
Breathalyzer evidence.
Instead, a pretrial hearing is set for Feb. 1.
"I don't represent Ken Kannes anymore,'' Jones said.
The change occurred shortly before Christmas, he said.
Gerstenzang declined to comment.
Officer Mark Goca was killed in a May 19 crash at
about 2:30 a.m. after being ejected from an unmarked
police car driven by Kannes. Kannes lost control on
Interstate 90 between exits 5 and 6, and the car rolled
over.
Kannes has claimed another vehicle cut him off, causing
him to swerve. The officers were returning to Rensselaer
after working with the Albany County Sheriff's
Department on a joint narcotics investigation earlier in
the evening.
After leaving sheriff's investigators, the Rensselaer
officers reportedly drank at the Polish American Citizens
Club and DiCarlo's Gentlemen's Club, authorities said.
Kannes, who was suspended with pay and is free on
$15,000 bail, has pleaded not guilty to felony counts of
second-degree vehicular manslaughter and criminally
negligent homicide and two misdemeanor counts of
driving while intoxicated. The most serious charge,
vehicular manslaughter, carries 2 /3 to 7 years in prison.
While none of the parties would discuss previous plea
negotiations, sources indicated Kannes could have cut
his prison time in half, to as little as 1 to 3 years, had he
agreed to a plea bargain. Kannes was hoping for a deal
that included no jail time, according to sources.
At issue in next month's hearing before acting Supreme
Court Justice Dan Lamont are oral statements allegedly
made by Kannes and blood he supplied that was tested
for alcohol content.
The case is proceeding "in the normal course,'' Fowler
said.
Meanwhile, there has been no action on a wrongful
death lawsuit being pursued by Paula Goca, the officer's
widow.
"We are waiting until the criminal case is over,'' attorney
Stephen Coffey said.

A Denver policeman pleaded not guilty this week to misdemeanor counts of
assault and making a false report stemming from a dispute with his wife.
Officer Danny Perez, 27, has been stripped of his firearm and placed on
desk duty until the case is resolved, Detective Virginia Lopez said.
He was placed on a $500 personal recognizance bond, and his trial was
set
for March 14.
Police began investigating Perez Jan. 2 when his wife reported they were
involved in a domestic dispute, detectives said in court records.
Officers learned the couple had been drinking for several hours before
the
altercation at their home in the 3900 block of West Kenyon Avenue.
The 31-year-old wife said Perez assaulted her and three times refused to
let her leave, detectives said.
Twice, she told police, Perez shoved her to the floor. She said he
covered
her mouth and nose with his hands and shoved her head into the carpet,
detectives said.
Officers said Perez eventually let his wife leave and tearfully
apologized.
His wife sustained a cut above her eye, bruises to her arm and thigh and
scratches to her back, said officers at the house.
Perez was hired by Denver police in 1995, and was assigned to the
force's
anti-gang detail.

Anoka County sheriff's truck, card collide; newlywed dies
Chris Graves
Minneapolis MN Star Tribune
Sunday, December 31, 2000
A 17-year-old Ham Lake newlywed died early Saturday morning from
injuries
she suffered in a collision with an Anoka County sheriff's pickup truck
headed to an emergency call, authorities said.
Talina R. Terrell died of injuries to the head and chest at Mercy
Hospital
in Coon Rapids about 4 a.m. Saturday, said Anoka County sheriff's Capt.
Loni Payne.
Terrell's car was broadsided on the driver's-side door by a truck driven
by
Anoka County deputy Brek Larson en route to a report of a domestic
assault
in progress about 10:10 p.m., Payne said.
She said the marked truck's lights and sirens were on as Larson drove
north
on Hwy. 65. Terrell was driving west on Crosstown Blvd. NE. at the time
of
the crash.
The intersection is controlled by traffic lights.
"I don't know at this time who went through the light," said State
Patrol
Lt. Steve Lubbert, adding that it will take at least two weeks for a
reconstruction of the accident.
He said officers are legally entitled to go through a stop light if a
squad
vehicle's lights and sirens are activated, but added: "You always have
to
be careful."
The State Patrol is investigating the crash, and investigators are
expected
to interview witnesses today, said Lubbert.
Terrell, who would have turned 18 in two weeks, was wearing her seat
belt,
he said.
Both drivers were tested for blood-alcohol levels, which is required by
state law in all fatal car crashes. Lubbert said he did not think that
road
conditions played a role in the crash.
Larson, 27, a deputy for about 2˝ years, and deputy Shawn Longren, 23,
on
the force for about five months and considered still in training, were
taken to Unity Hospital in Fridley. They were treated and released.
Their injuries will keep them from returning to work for at least
several
days, Payne said.
The Sheriff's Office will review the crash to determine whether
department
policies and procedures were followed.
"There is no indication at this point that there was anything irregular.
... All indications are that the lights and sirens were on," she said.
Payne said that the full-sized pickup is a recent addition to the fleet
and
that she did not know if Larson was driving it for a special purpose or
if
it was in the normal rotation for officers to operate during their
shifts.
Terrell was married this past summer to Jordan Terrell. Attempts to
reach
him were unsuccessful Saturday.
But his father, James Terrell, declined to discuss his daughter-in-law
or
the accident, saying it was "just too soon."

Family of motorist killed by man fleeing Beach police sues
By MARC DAVIS
© 2000, The Virginian-Pilot
NORFOLK -- A 1999 police surveillance that led to a passing motorist
being
killed by a driver fleeing police has prompted a $10 million lawsuit
against the city of Virginia Beach and a police sergeant.
The family of Cynthia Pully, who was killed June 11, 1999, on Military
Highway in Norfolk, filed the suit last week in Norfolk Circuit Court.
It accuses Virginia Beach Police Sgt. Anthony Zucaro, the city and the
man
fleeing police, Rodney L. Wynn, of negligently causing the fatal crash.
According to the lawsuit, police chased Wynn on Military Highway at
speeds
greater than 80 mph ``with an absolute and utter indifference to the
traffic conditions.''
The lawsuit says police conducted ``a grossly negligent pursuit'' and
displayed ``a wanton and willful disregard for others who were using the
highway.'' It claims the pursuit violated state law and Virginia Beach
police procedures.
Pully's family seeks $5 million in compensatory damages and $5 million
in
punitive damages.
Pully, a 45-year-old mother of two, was killed at Norview Avenue and
Military Highway in Norfolk. Her car was hit by a Chevrolet Malibu
carrying
two men fleeing police.
Pully had just flown in to Norfolk International Airport from visiting
her
father in Indiana, who had been in an auto accident.
One of the suspects in the car, Howard Boothe, 20, of Newport News, also
was killed in the crash.
Wynn, who was 20 at the time, suffered a leg injury, but was not
critically
hurt. He later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Norfolk
Circuit Court and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. A judge also
ordered
Wynn not to drive a car for 15 years after his release.
In connection with the Virginia Beach shooting, Wynn pleaded guilty to
abduction, robbery and five lesser charges. He was sentenced to 13 years
in
prison for those crimes.
Police have said they were not chasing Wynn, but merely following him.
But
the Pully family's attorney, William R. O'Brien, said a Norfolk police
officer who happened to be nearby saw Beach police chasing Wynn on
Military
Highway at 80 to 100 mph.
O'Brien said he has talked with Wynn in jail, and Wynn recalled police
chasing him at a high rate of speed. But Beach police have submitted
statements that they were not chasing Wynn, that they lost him somewhere
on
Military Highway and that the crash was unprovoked, O'Brien said.
The incident began at a motel in the Greenbrier section of Chesapeake.
Virginia Beach police were watching a car that they thought was used in
a
shooting in Virginia Beach two days earlier.
At one point, detectives saw two men get into the car and drive away.
Using
an unmarked car, police followed the suspects' car onto Interstate 64,
through Virginia Beach, then off the highway at Northampton Boulevard in
Norfolk.
At Kempsville Road, police said, two marked police cars joined the
surveillance. That's when the suspects ran the red light and turned onto
Military Highway, causing the fatal crash about a mile later, police
said
at the time.
In 1998, Virginia Beach banned high-speed police chases except in cases
of
violent crimes against people, crimes involving guns or bombs, or
threats
to public safety, including drunken drivers.
This is the second lawsuit in recent years over a fatal police chase in
South Hampton Roads. In 1998, Norfolk settled a lawsuit over a 1995
high-speed police chase that killed two passing motorists in downtown
Norfolk.

Nurse, inmate caught on tape
Surveillance designed to document trafficking in tobacco also exposes
illegal sexual contact.
By Diane Frederick
Indianapolis Star
January 5, 2001
PENDLETON, Ind. -- A licensed practical nurse faces dismissal and
possible
criminal charges for having sexual contact with an inmate at Pendleton
Correctional Facility.
The female nurse was filmed Dec. 8 during a sexual encounter in a closet
with an inmate who is serving a life sentence, investigators said.
The surveillance camera was placed in the infirmary closet from Nov. 30
to
Dec. 8 to investigate a complaint of smoking and possible trafficking of
tobacco, Department of Correction spokeswoman Pam Pattison said
Thursday.
The area of Pendleton Correctional Facility that fell under surveillance
has a population of about 1,200. It houses maximum-security male
prisoners.
DOC facilities have been tobacco-free since Aug. 1, 1997.
WTHR (Channel 13), the news-gathering partner of The Indianapolis Star,
obtained a copy of the tape and aired it Thursday night.
The tape and reports by Indiana State Police and the DOC's internal
affairs
division have been turned over to Madison County Prosecutor Rodney
Cummings
for possible criminal charges.
Cummings said Thursday that sexual contact with an inmate is a class D
felony, and trafficking in tobacco with an inmate is a class A
misdemeanor.
He is awaiting affidavits from investigators before filing charges.
"That should come real soon," he said.
The licensed practical nurse was suspended 30 days pending dismissal for
inappropriate contact with an inmate, Pattison said.
Also as a result of the investigation:
¥ A correctional sergeant was suspended 30 days pending dismissal for
trafficking with an inmate.
¥ Two correctional officers were suspended 10 days without pay for
smoking
in front of inmates and allowing inmates to smoke.
¥ Another licensed practical nurse and a registered nurse were suspended
30
days pending dismissal for trafficking.
Those employees can appeal, Pattison explained.
Another correctional officer faces disciplinary action pending an
internal
affairs interview.
That officer had not been interviewed yet because the internal affairs
investigator was on vacation, she said.
In addition to the DOC nurses, four contractual nurses have been banned
from working in any DOC facility. Pattison said three of them gave
cigarettes to inmates and one had inappropriate contact with an inmate.
Two other contractual nurses who were caught on tape smoking won't be
allowed to work at DOC facilities for three days.
Six inmates who had assigned duties in the infirmary were relieved of
their
duties and have been disciplined, Pattison said.
The inmates have had hearings before the conduct adjustment board,
Pattison
said, and have been placed in disciplinary segregation at the facility.

citizens of NY.
