#tbt and #inmemorium of Retired Deputy Louise Russ

#tbt and #inmemorium of Retired Deputy Louise Russell – Santa Barbara County’s first female deputy. Louise began her career with our agency as a Sheriff’s Matron-Clerk in 1966. Soon after being hired, she and six other sheriff’s matron-clerks petitioned the Sheriff and the Board of Supervisors to allow them to take the sheriff’s deputy exam because they were performing the same basic job duties as the male deputies, but at half the pay. When their petition was denied, they pushed forward with a lawsuit which resulted in an opening for one female deputy. Thirty-four women, including Louise and the other matrons, took the test, and 17 passed. Louise was the first to be appointed, and four months later four more of the matron-clerks were reclassified as sheriff’s deputies.

Louise’s first assignment as a deputy was in the Juvenile Bureau, which previously had been part of the Marshal’s Office. In 1977 she was selected to attend the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. After holding various assignments on patrol, in the jail, and in transportation, Louise decided to put in for a transfer to courts as a bailiff. However, the presiding judge at the time would not allow a female bailiff. The following year, a new presiding judge was elected, and Louise was selected to be the first female bailiff to work in the Santa Barbara Superior Court. In 1987 she retired from the Sheriff’s Office and was honored by Judge Patrick McMahon.

In 2019, Louise was interviewed for the Sheriff’s Third Quarter Round-Up, which is featured on our YouTube channel. In that interview she chronicled her remarkable experiences and her career with our agency.

In between taking emergency calls ☎️ and answering radio traffic 🚓🚒🚑 our dispatchers have spent this week telling stories about Firefighter Joey De Anda and remembering how fun it was working with him in the center. The Sheriff’s Office Peer Support Team anticipated this would weigh heavy on our Dispatchers and called in reinforcement from @donutstotherescue 🐶 who stopped by yesterday to brighten their day! 🌟

Congrats to Custody Deputy Rodenberger (ret.) who

Congrats to Custody Deputy Rodenberger (ret.) who was recently recognized by @allanhancockcollege with an “Agent of Change” award 🏆 Here’s the backstory:

During an Intro to Corrections course at AHC, industry professionals were invited to class to share their experiences with students as guest presenters. Also invited to share their experiences in corrections were Rising Scholars students.

During the Scholars’ presentations, a person was consistently mentioned- Retired Custody Deputy Rodenberger from the Sheriff’s Office Main Jail (he still helps out part-time). The Scholars described how Rodenberger went above and beyond to show them respect, compassion, dignity and kindness. The Rising Scholars decided that they wanted to honor Rodenberger for the difference he made for each of them, and with the help of his daughter- who happened to be a student in the class, surprised him with an award presentation. Each Rising Scholar shared with Custody Deputy Rodenberger how he changed their life and inspired them to keep on going and to not give up.

The Sheriff’s Office is extremely proud of Custody Deputy Rodenberger and applaud him on this well-deserved recognition. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
