THIRTY-rOURTH BIENNIAL REPORT 35 



REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF PATROL 



By E. Ij. Macauley, Chief 



In July, 1935, patrol activities of this bureau were reorganized and 

 the state divided into three districts. The Coast District includes the 

 counties of Del Norte, Humboldt, ]\Iendocino, Sonoma, Lake, Napa and 

 Marin in the northern division, and the counties of San Francisco, 

 Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Benito, Monterey, San 

 Mateo, Santa Cruz and San Luis Obispo in the southern division. The 

 Central District was divided in two divisions, the northern division 

 including the counties of Siskiyou, Modoc, Trinity, Shasta, Lassen, 

 Tehama, Plumas, Glenn, Butte, Sierra, Nevada, Colusa, Sutter, Yuba, 

 Placer, El Dorado, Yolo, Solano and Sacramento, and the southern 

 division including the counties of Alpine, Amador, San Joaquin, Cala- 

 veras, Tuolumne, Mariposa, ]\Ierced, Stanislaus, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, 

 Kings and Kern. The Southern District comprising the balance of the 

 State was divided in two divisions, the western division including the 

 counties of Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange and San 

 Diego, and the eastern division including ]Mono, San Bernardino, River- 

 side, Imperial and Inyo counties. 



Each district is in charge of an inspector who has under him two 

 captains, one for each division. It is contemplated that a new grade 

 of sergeant will be established who will work under the captains. A 

 new grade of assistant fish and game warden was created, examinations 

 for which will be open to the general public. After appointment, the 

 assistant warden will serve an apprenticeship in the various bureaus 

 of the division, thoroughly learning the scope of the work, and in all 

 probability will decide the branch of the work for which he is best 

 suited. After a fixed period of service as an assistant warden, promo- 

 tion can be obtained by taking examinations for the next higher grade, 

 fish and game warden. 



Belts, shoulder and lapel insignia have been added to our patrol 

 uniforms, and a new type of service hat specified. Our marine patrol 

 wears navy blue instead of forest green and caps in lieu of hats. 



This reorganization of districts and patrol activities has resulted 

 in increased efficiency as indicated in the recapitulation of arrests and 

 convictions which will be found in the appendix on page 74. In addi- 

 tion, the average fine imposed shows a slight increase which may be 

 taken as a measure that times are getting better and that the courts 

 feel larger fines are justified. 



During the past biennium the following members of this depart- 

 ment retired from active service : Captain C. F. Maddox, Captain S. J. 

 Carpenter ; AVardens J. L. Bundock, C. F. England, L. W. Longeway. 

 K. J. Randsell passed away on November 21, 1935. 



Two new seagoing patrol boats were constructed in the shipyards 

 of Fellows & Stewart at Wilmington. The Quinnat III is a replacement 

 for the old Quinnat which served many years on San Francisco Bay
