"Broken"
A tribute to our military
 

Broken

I put my heart and soul into my video's they come from someone who spent over 20 years in the US Army and have been to Iraq 2 times and was injured during my last deployment since coming home i have seen too many people with the, "it doesn’t effect me" attitude, so my video's are a way to show all the sacrifices of our military and their families at home and do my part to make sure the things done to Vietnam vets never happen again as one of my video's says they are our countries sons and daughters and all of them are my brothers and sisters i just want people to know every one of them has a name and someone at home who worries for their safe return and to let people know that no mater what their opinion of the war our military needs to know what they do is appreciated and there are people at home who stand behind them.  Submitted By: William Bulger

SILENT WITNESS TIP of the MONTH

SEPTEMBER 2010

 
 
 
 

There is always someone out there to try and con people out of their money in a dishonest way.  Remember, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is".  Below are a few things that may help to keep you from being a victim of a greedy con artist.

 

Don't respond to unknown solicitations by phone, email or regular mail. Be suspicious of "risk-free" trial offers especially any that require a credit card number to pay for shipping and handling. The card could be used to bill you for subsequent shipments of the product unless you take sometimes-difficult steps to opt out.

 

Do your online shopping at secure Web sites. Using these sites will help ensure that personal information, including credit card numbers, is transmitted to the merchant safely without being intercepted by a third party. You can identify secure sites by looking for Web addresses that begin with "http" and for a small padlock at the bottom of the page. Use a secure online payment site (such as Pay Pal) to be sure you get what you paid for. Credit cards are still preferred over debit cards for best online shopping security.

 

Be leery of any offer or prize that sounds too good to be true. If you didn't buy a ticket for a lottery, sweepstakes or other contest, you didn't win. If a travel offer or other deal sounds unbelievably good, chances are there's an expensive catch. Make sure you know all the details of any sensational offer and read the fine print.

 

 

To report crimes anonymously call 753-1234 or 1-888-227-8780.  It pays to fight crime.

Western Arizona DUI Task Force
Launches Intensive Crackdown on Impaired Driving

Police Vow to Arrest Everyone Found Driving ‘Over the Limit’

 

Mohave County – The problem of impaired-driving is a serious one.  While America witnessed a decline in the number of impaired-driving fatalities from 2007-2008, the numbers are still too high.  That’s why the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office today announced it will join other law enforcement agencies across Arizona and throughout the country in support of an intensive crackdown on impaired driving this August 20–September 6,  known by its tagline, Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.

 

In 2008 alone, nearly 12,000 people died in crashes in which a driver or motorcycle rider was at or above the legal limit, according to the latest statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The age group with the highest percentage of alcohol impaired drivers in fatal crashes is young people age 21-24.

 

“All too often, innocent, law-abiding people suffer tragic consequences and the loss of loved ones due to this careless disregard for human life. Because we’re committed to ending the carnage, we’re intensifying enforcement during the crackdown. We’ll be especially vigilant during high-risk nighttime hours when impaired drivers are most likely to be on our roads,” said Sheriff Tom Sheahan.

 

In every State as well as the District of Columbia it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 grams per deciliter or higher. Approximately 10,000 police agencies will participate in this year’s mid-August through Labor Day crackdown, including law enforcement officers representing every State, the District of Columbia and many U.S. cities and towns.

 

According to the latest data, 32 percent of fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes involved a driver or motorcycle rider with a BAC of .08 % or above — an average of one fatality every 45 minutes.

 

MCSO Sgt. Don Bischoff said agencies participating under the Western Arizona DUI Task Force will be aggressively looking for all impaired drivers during the crackdown and will arrest anyone they find driving while impaired — regardless of age, vehicle type, or time of day.

 

“Our message is simple and unwavering. If we find you driving impaired, we will arrest you. No exceptions,” said Bischoff, MCSO Task Force Coordinator. “Even if you beat the odds and walk away from an impaired-driving crash alive, motorists should be aware that the consequences of driving while impaired can still virtually destroy your life."

 

Violators face jail time, loss of their driver licenses, and being sentenced to use ignition interlocks. Their insurance rates go up. Other financial hits include attorney fees, court costs, lost time at work, and the potential loss of job or job prospects. When family, friends and co-workers find out, violators can also face tremendous personal embarrassment and humiliation.

 

“Driving impaired is simply not worth all the consequences. So don’t take the chance. Remember, if you are over the limit, you’re under arrest,” said Sheriff Tom Sheahan.

CITIZENS ACTION TEAM RECOVERS STOLEN MOTORCYCLE

Citizens Action Team members recovered a stolen Harley Davidson late Wed night, MCSO was called and an attempt to contact the owner was unsuccessful, so the bike was picked up by Mikes Power Tow and taken to the yard. CAT member said “we offered to keep it overnight to save the owner tow charges but the officer said that would not be possible since it was stolen.” Hopefully it gets back to the rightful owner right away. The bike had been repainted from yellow to the "spray can" blue. Vin number was still intact.

The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office Joins Click It or Ticket 2010 to Reduce Crash Deaths

Motorists Face Stepped Up Enforcement

 

Mohave County – In 2008, 12,671 passenger vehicle occupants died in motor vehicle crashes nationwide between the nighttime hours of 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m., according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of those who died were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the crashes, compared to less than half (45%) of the passenger vehicle occupants killed during the daytime hours of 6 a.m. to 5:59 p.m.

 

 

“Nighttime drivers and passengers continue to be among those least likely to wear seat belts. Consequently, they are also among those most likely to die in motor vehicle crashes. That’s why the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office is supporting enhanced nighttime enforcement of belt laws during the May 24–June 6, 2010, Click It or Ticket campaign,” said Sheriff Tom Sheahan

 

High-visibility enforcement such as the Click It or Ticket mobilization is credited with increasing the national belt usage rate from 58 percent in 1994 to an observed usage rate of 84 percent in 2009. And belt use saves thousands of lives each year across America. In 2008 alone, seat belts saved 13,250 lives nationwide.

 

“Local motorists should be prepared for stepped up Click It or Ticket activities that will take place around the clock. If law enforcement finds you on the road unbuckled anytime or anywhere, you can expect to get a ticket — not a warning. No excuses and no exceptions,” said Sheriff Tom Sheahan.

 

Remember this May 24 to June 6, 2010: It’s Click It or Ticket. “Last year in Arizona, 333 people lost their lives in traffic crashes for failing to use installed seat belts or child safety restraints”, said Sgt Don Bischoff.  Buckle up and encourage your loved ones to do the same. You’ll save the cost of a ticket and may even save a life.


 
WE THOUGHT THE PUBLIC WOULD LIKE THIS ONE....
According to AzDOC records he was just released from Florence Prison Dec 17th. Didn't take long for him to get back into his "profession".......  Hey Saunders, it might be time to look for a real job.... you are not very good at this one....
KUDOS TO THE HOTEL OWNER!

Suspect smacked around, held down until KPD arrives

KINGMAN - A robbery suspect was left with cuts and bruises after he was allegedly caught in the act by a local hotel owner.

James William Saunders, 41, of Kingman, is charged with robbery after he walked into a local hotel in the 3400 block of Andy Devine Avenue just after 6 p.m. Saturday and broke into the hotel's cash drawer behind the counter.

The owner of the hotel was not behind the counter but heard Saunders enter and saw him with a wad of cash in one hand and the cash drawer broken open.

The owner then fought with Saunders while another employee called police, said Sgt. Bob Fisk with the Kingman Police Department. The owner had Saunders pinned on the ground when police arrived.

16 APRIL, 2008 KINGMAN METH DEALERS BUSTED!

M.A.G.N.E.T.
Operation “Picture Perfect”



On April 9, 2008, local law enforcement officers who make up the
multi-agency “M.A.G.N.E.T.” team executed 18 arrest warrants and 16
search warrants in an effort to dismantle a large methamphetamine drug
trafficking organization in Northwest Arizona.

M.A.G.N.E.T. (Mohave Area General Narcotics Enforcement Team) is
comprised of officers from the Arizona Department of Public Safety,
Kingman Police Department, Mohave County Sheriff’s Office, Bullhead
City Police Department, Lake Havasu City Police Department, and the
Mohave County Attorney’s Office.

Kingman Police Department Captain Scott Wright, MAGNET commander, said,
“He especially wanted to acknowledge his team for being the core
members in making Operation Picture Perfect such a success!  MAGNET
Sergeants and Officers from all member agencies dedicated themselves to
this project by working countless hours in the planning stages and in
the actual execution of taking these criminals off the streets!”

According to Capt. Wright this operation thus far has netted 25
arrests.  Eight subjects were arrested on other non-related case charges
such as warrants, possession of dangerous drugs, etc...  Jose Rascone
and Bryan Baldwin are still outstanding.

As of April 14, 2008, the following items have been seized: 1 pound
(448 grams) of methamphetamine, $42,660 in cash, 43 weapons, 20
automobiles/trucks, 2 sea doo’s, 4 quads, 10 motorcycles, 1 dune
buggy, 15 big screens/flat screen televisions, 28 computers, and 7
surveillance camera systems.  All items are believed to have been
purchased from the proceeds of drug trade. 

According to Capt. Wright this is just the beginning of Operation
“Picture Perfect” as there are an additional 200 arrests and
indictments pending in this operation.

 

MAGNET

 PRESS RELEASE
April 9, 2008

Announces Results of Operation
“Picture Perfect”


On Wednesday April 9, 2008, local law enforcement officers who make up the
multi-agency “M.A.G.N.E.T.” team executed 17 arrest warrants and 17
search warrants in an effort to dismantle a large methamphetamine drug
trafficking organization in Northwest Arizona.

M.A.G.N.E.T. (Mohave Area General Narcotics Enforcement Team) is
comprised of officers from the Arizona Department of Public Safety,
Kingman Police Department, Mohave County Sheriff’s Office, Bullhead
City Police Department, Lake Havasu City Police Department, and the
Mohave County Attorney’s Office.

In early 2007, an investigation was launched into a methamphetamine
drug trafficking organization in Mohave County.  Eventually the State
Gang Task Force (G.I.I.T.E.M.) and the D.E.A. were also brought in to
assist M.A.G.N.E.T. in the investigation and surveillance in this case.
Additional support was supplied by the DPS Financial Investigation
Resource Group (F.I.R.G.) which consists of personnel from the Arizona
Department of Public Safety, the Phoenix Police Department and the State
Attorney General’s Office.

The arrest warrants taking place on April 9 were served on the 17 upper
level suspects in this organization.  An additional 200 arrests and
indictments are pending.

The investigation showed the organization was based out of a Kingman
home belonging to Jose Juan Ochoa and his wife, Deaney Ochoa.  It
appeared to be a “top down” organization that supplied approximately
520 pounds of methamphetamine to the Kingman area per year.  It also was
a lucrative business.  Customers purchasing methamphetamine from this
group were spending more than $18 million per year for this product. 

* Friday, April 11, 2008 *

Further on “Operation Picture Perfect”

“Operation Picture Perfect” was made possible by the cooperation and participation of multiple agencies on the federal, state and local level.  The cost of an investigation of this size is substantial and can cause a severe financial strain on smaller local agencies.  The following are agencies that have been instrumental in the successful operation of the MAGNET task force and to the recent “Operation Picture Perfect”.

 MAGNET is funded in part by the Southwest Border HIDTA Arizona Partnership, through the Office of National Drug Control Policy.  HIDTA stands for High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas.  Their mission is to facilitate federal, state and local multi-agency partnerships to substantially reduce drug related crime and violence. 

 MAGNET is also funded in part by the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant which is administered by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC).

 Both the HIDTA and ACJC grant funding make it possible for the local MAGNET task force to function.  Funding provides resources for manpower, vehicles and office space.  Everyone in MAGNET was involved in the recent investigation.

 “Operation Picture Perfect” had unique and extreme costs associated with the multi-agency investigation.  Substantial funding was additionally provided by the Financial Investigative Resource Group (FIRG) of the AZ Attorney Generals Office, to off set these costs.

 These agencies and financial partnerships are crucial to the successful operation of MAGNET and future investigations.
