In an effort to demonstrate their appreciation, Main Jail Bureau Bravo shift staff — led by Sgt. Gladys Clarke — challenged themselves to establish a means of expressing gratitude for fellow coworkers called to serve their country. They decided to take photos of Department of Detention (DOD) personnel and use them to make custom-made tee shirts. The group then acquired an official BSO flag and asked Sheriff Jenne to autograph it before they passed it through the ranks and had others write uplifting messages on it. A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words Fugitive Unit BSO has some very funny employees! Take Sgt. Julio Chang, for example. Currently stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan, he recently spray-painted a tank with the words “BSO SWAT.” “Why?” you may ask? Because he knows that BSO’s SWAT Unit has been trying to secure an armored personnel carrier through a military surplus program! Hmmmm, now how do we get it home to BSO?! The shirts, flag and numerous sentimental treats were placed in a “care-package” and shipped off to Fort Stewart, Georgia with the hopes of giving our comrades a little something to smile about during these uncertain times and as a reminder that they remain in the thoughts and prayers of those who await the return of our brave peace keepers. Det. Jamie Garrison’s wife, Rosa, found a unique way to wish her mother a happy Mother’s Day. The detective’s wife is stationed in the Middle East with the 724th MP Battalion from Fort Lauderdale, where her unit is responsible for taking in prisoners of war. We’re sure Det. Garrison is proud of his wife and her ingenuity! 10 Dep. Hein Lam is pictured here on patrol at the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville. He sends his heartfelt thanks and greetings to the Sheriff and his coworkers back home at BSO. Greetings from Saddam’s Palace I would like to thank BSO and give special thanks to District 11 for its support on my deployment overseas. Special thanks to Dep. Eduardo Mesa and Sgt. Caren Pollaccia and the Charlie shift. I would also like to send my deepest sympathies to the family of fallen Dep. Philip Billings. This e-mail is being sent to you from Saddam’s Palace. Hope to see you guys soon. Sincerely Dep. Eric Cieza-Aguilar
BSO’s Marine Cadets Earn High Honors Two of BSO’s Marine Cadet Program participants received high honors recently. Twelve-year-old Cadet Patrick Turnquest (second from left) was one of only five students from Crystal Lake Middle School to be chosen to attend the 2003 Junior National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. Cadet Thomas Fuller (third from left) was celected as the 2002-2003 middle school recipient of a two-year Florida Prepaid College Scholarship from the Florida Association of School Resource Officers. The young honorees are pictured here with School Resource Deputies Patrick Kiernan (left) and Richard Jaynes. The Marine Cadet Program is a non-profit organization sponsored by the Broward Sheriff’s Office; it provides young people with the opportunity to experience military life, while teaching them life-long lessons of commitment, courage and honor. Cadets must be between the ages of nine and 18 and have approval from their parent or guardian. There is a one-time enrollment fee of $25 to cover insurance premiums. Additionally, cadets are required to attend drills at least two nights per week. For more information about this program, please call (954) 321-4100. Golfers Raise Funds in Sgt’s Name Recently, almost 150 golfers braved inclement weather to participate in the inaugural J.J. Goulet Golf Tournament. This event was held in memory of J.J. Goulet, a sergeant with BSO who passed away after a long battle with cancer. Sgt. Goulet’s wife, Marguarite Goulet, is shown here presenting a check for $6,400 to H. Dan Revis, Executive Director of the Sheriff’s Foundation of Broward County. The funds raised from the tournament will be used for several community-based programs sponsored by the Sheriff’s Foundation. A special thank you to those who volunteered their time and efforts: Lt. Bill Friel, District 7; Lynda Friel, Risk Management; Debbie McCormick, District 7; Sgt. Dan Hodess (retired); and friends and family members Jane Hodess, Howard Meltzer and Jimmy Goulet.

In this capacity, Director Lanza reports to Inspector General Martin Rahinsky. Director Lanza serves as the liaison between BSO and other agencies for homeland security preparedness. He assists Sheriff Jenne in his role as the chair of the Southeast Florida Regional Domestic Security Task Force and works closely with local, state and federal agencies and governmental officials to ensure BSO can properly respond to any disaster. “Chuck is a dedicated, hard working professional and will be an enormous asset to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the people of Broward County and all South Florida residents,” says Sheriff Ken Jenne. “He’s been a leader in the Regional Domestic Security Task Force and I’m confident BSO will benefit from his considerable experience.” Director Lanza served as director of Miami-Dade County’s Office of Emergency Management for seven and a half years and was honored as 2002 Emergency Management Professional of the Year by the Florida Emergency Management Association. From 1993 to 1995, he was the director of the Office of Trauma Services for the Miami-Dade County manager. He began his long and distinguished career at the Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue Department in 1978, where he rose through the ranks from firefighter to division chief. Director Lanza obtained his bachelor’s degree in political science from Florida International University. He was awarded a master’s degree in health management from St. Thomas University and is currently enrolled in the Ph.D. program at Lynn University in Boca Raton. Scouts of All Sizes Chuck Lanza is BSO’s newly appointed Emergency Management Director Boy Scouts apparently come in all shapes and sizes! There’s the typically sized ones shown here with Sheriff Ken Jenne at a recent Get to Know BSO event held in Dania Beach and the oversized version, as portrayed by Lt. Fred Wood from Criminal Investigations!
