COUNTY CONNECTIONPage 4Q A With Roger Guevara – A Look Insidethe OCSD Security BureauEarlier this year, the Security Bureau of the Sheriff’s Departmentimplemented the use of a magnetometer, or what’s commonlyknown as a metal detector, as a security screening measure in theHall of Administration. That initiative aligned the County’s securityprotocols with those of other large urban California Counties. OCSDSecurity Bureau Commander Lieutenant Roger Guevara reportsthat the department has received mostly positive feedback, whichthey interpret as a sign that employees and citizens who have beensubject to the screening appreciate the attention to security.County Connection staff spoke with Lt. Guevara, who has been amember of the Sheriff’s Department since 1987, about employeesecurity and the role of Security Bureau.QWhat is the Security Bureau? What is it responsible for?AThe Security Bureau is responsible for the full-time security of 28 buildings throughout theCounty of Orange. The services are contracted by the various agencies and departments.The primary function of the Security Bureau at these facilities is just what the nameimplies, building security. It includes everything from patrols of the interiors and exteriors,manning/operating metal detector stations, to responding to calls for service at thesefacilities.QWhat are the priorities of your job, as commander?AMy overall priority is to make sure the Security Bureau continues to provide excellentservice to our contract partners, including Probation, Health Care Agency, Child SupportServices, County Chief Executive Office and Board of Supervisors, Orange CountySheriff’s Department, OCERS, Orange County Sanitation District and Social ServicesAgency. I plan on being accessible to all so I have firsthand knowledge of any concerns,and I welcome any feedback. I believe that by working together we can overcome mostproblems.QWhat new initiatives has the bureau launched?AThe most recent new initiative was launched in April 2015. It’s the placement of a Sheriff’sSpecial Officer (SSO) as an additional security presence at Building 12. This was acooperative, collaborative effort among the Sheriff’s Department, Clerk-Recorder, CountyAssessor and Auditor-Controller. In managing the security expectations of the departmentheads of the three agencies, it was important for us to meet with them collectively anddiscuss the needs and desires of the employees they represent. Ultimately, we felt theneed was to implement services that not only provide actual security, but the idea was toenhance the ‘sense of security.’ We all agreed that the opportunity was there to protectthe employees assigned to Building 12 and make them feel secure through added visiblepresence, escorts, and active engagement of threats and potential threats to security.(Continued on page 5)
COUNTY CONNECTIONPage 5(Continued from page 4)QWas the hiring decision collaborative as well? Who was selected?AYes, it was a joint decision. We selected SSO Robert Stammerjohan, a 25-year veteranof the department, to fill the position. He was chosen to serve as the inaugural Building 12SSO based on extensive experience, exemplary work record and exceptional interpersonalskills.QIs he physically stationed in Building 12?AYes. Robert has a work station located in Room 101 at theClerk-Recorder office in Building 12. It is important toremember, however, that part of Robert’s duties involveregular patrols of the interior and exterior of the building, aswell as responding for calls for service in the ‘Walk of Honor’area outside the building, which call him away from his workstation frequently. Robert is available by walking up inperson, or at his desk phone at 714-834-3150, or his cellphone at 714-824-1967, if he is away from his desk. In theunlikely event he cannot be contacted in any of the above manners, you can call theSheriff Kiosk at Building 10 at 714-834-2250.QWhat can employees do on their own to contribute to their personal workplace security?AThe main thing to remember is to always be alert. Be aware of your surroundings, andnot distracted by electronic devices such as cellular phones or tablets. If you see animmediate threat, call 9-1-1, and be ready to give the dispatcher your exact location, aswell as direction of travel so responders can locate you. If you are an employee workingin the immediate area of Buildings 10, 11, 12 or 405 W. 5th St. in Santa Ana, feel free tocall for the Sheriff Department Kiosk at 714-834-2250 for an escort, if you feel it is needed.If you choose not to use an escort, I recommend you walk together in groups of at leastthree. Statistics show that you are less likely to be selected as a victim if you are in agroup of three. As you walk to your car, have your keys in hand, with your car key readyfor use. Finally, if you see something, say something. There are many law enforcementresources in the area, and they are readily equipped to assist when necessary, but wemust hear from you!QWhat other services does the Bureau provide?AWe also offer periodic Employee Safety training, for employees in the Civic Center areaand throughout the County. If you would like to schedule one of these training classes inthe Civic Center area, agency managers should call Kari Schumaker in the CEO officeat 714-834-2051. To arrange training classes for employees outside of the Civic Center,email Sgt. Tim Rushing at tprushing@ocsd.org.
COUNTY CONNECTION{O.C. History 101Journeys Through Orange County’s Origins,Obstacles and Opportunities}Page 6Cattle and Cowboys in Old Orange County By Chris JepsenOrange County was once a land of cowboys,roundups and branding irons. Beginning in the1770s, vast cattle operations spanning mostof the region were overseen by the padres atMission San Juan Capistrano and Mission SanGabriel. Capistrano had around 14,000 headduring their peak years, and San Gabriel hadaround 16,000.The vaqueros (cowboys) were generally localIndians. Outposts, or estancias, where vaqueroscould spend a night under shelter while drivingthe herds, can still be found at Estancia Park inCosta Mesa and on the Rancho Santa Margaritaside of O’Neill Park, albeit in ruins. The cattlewere raised for their hides and tallow, which isa form of fat used in soaps, candles and otherproducts. Almost all the meat went to waste – aheartbreaking thought to steak-loving historians.Hides from Capistrano’s cattle were stored inan adobe “hide house,” two miles south of themission. This 1790 building still stands on thesouth side of the Marriott Residence Inn on ElCamino Real.When Yankee traders anchored at CapistranoBay, the hides were brought to the coastal bluffsin ox carts and were thrown down to the Americansailors waiting on the beach. The sailors loadedthe hides into longboats and rowed them out tothe waiting ship. This process was describedby Richard Henry Dana, Jr. in his best-sellingaccount of life as a sailor, Two Years Before TheMast. He also called this area “the only romanticspot on the coast.” By the 1870s, people werecalling it “Dana Point.”During Spanish rule, the King owned all ofCalifornia but occasionally granted grazing rightsto individuals who had loyally served the crown.Cowboys Nick Gonzales and Henry Serrano rope andbrand cattle on the Starr Ranch in the 1940s. (Photocourtesy OC Parks)Later, under Mexican rule, the governmentactually granted land, often to the same familieswho’d held grazing rights under Spain. Thenames of many of the rancheros are still knownthroughout Orange County today; among themare Yorba, Peralta, Grijalva, Nieto and Forster.Beginning in 1849, hungry Gold Rush miners upnorth created a huge demand for meat. Addingbeef profits to hides and tallow, the ranchosenjoyed a period of enormous success. But thisgolden era was followed in the 1860s by cycles offlood and drought that all but destroyed the cattleindustry. (Look for more about ranchos in a futurecolumn.)In the wake of this disaster and with Americagaining control of California, much of the rancholand ended up in the hands of gringos whofound raising sheep more profitable. But as ourpopulation grew, so did the demand for beef. Witheach passing decade, more cattle returned to thelandscape.(Continued on page 7)
COUNTY CONNECTIONPage 7(Continued from page 6)Once raised on ranches both large and small, by 1900most of Orange County’s 9,000-or-so head of cattle wereraised on a handful of huge ranches. That number roseto about 18,000 head by 1920. From the mid-1920s untilWorld War II, Orange County had about 30,000 head atany given time. Numbers peaked around 1950, when ourpost-war boom began in earnest.Roundup at the Forster Ranch, San Juan Capistrano, 1900. (Photo courtesy Orange CountyArchives)Just as population growth once brought more cattle toOrange County, now it began to push them back out. Inthe 1950s, our population more than tripled, and vastagricultural tracts were converted into suburbia. Simultaneously, cattle production was cut in half. Fromthen on, each decade saw the loss of another one third to one half of our cattle.The Irvine Ranch gave birth to cities like Irvine and Newport Beach. The Moulton Ranch becamehome to much of Laguna Woods, Laguna Hills, Aliso Viejo and Laguna Niguel. And the communities ofMission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita and Ladera Ranch were created on the Rancho Mission Viejo.Most of the old ranching families are out of the business now, but the O’Neill/Moiso family of RanchoMission Viejo hangs in there and even continues to host rodeos. In the 1990s and early 2000s, theystill ran up to 2,000 head of cattle.Today there are fewer than 600 head of cattle in Orange County. Most of those are on the RanchoMission Viejo, which is now undergoing its last and largest development project. Six hundred is not abig number. More than 600 athletes compete in our annual U.S. Open of Surfing. We even have morethan 600 fire rings on our beaches. After two centuries of cattle, we’re more cowabunga than cowtown.About the AuthorChris Jepsen is the assistant archivist at the Orange County Archives, a function under the office ofClerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen.
