your department. everyone there for your loss. -- our deepest -- >> thank you, julia, it's a loss, the newman police department lost just a great officer. >> where do things stand right now, sheriff, in the search for was served late today, what can you tell us about that? >> the sheriff's office is the lead investigative agency. and we're looking at multiple locations. we've searched multiple areas within the county and outside the county. we're following up on each and every investigative lead. the execution of one search warrant is really not the totality of what we're involved in in this man hunt. we quoted our reporter jesse gary as saying sources are telling him that officers are close to finding the suspect. i imagine when you look at this, it's just a question of when you're going to find him. >> that's absolutely correct. and remember, that this is fluid. it changes minute by minute. what we share with the media

and the community five hours ago right now is completely different. we're following up on every lead even if it takes us outside of stanislaus county. >> you said the suspect is in this country illegally, what was your reaction when you learned he's undocumented? well i'm certainly not surprised and remember we don't need to politicize the death of the officer. he himself is an immigrant. he immigrated here lawfully and legally. his killer on the other hand isn't supposed to be in this country. and while we've not yet positively identified him. his actions, the facts and circumstances. the fact that we found evidence of fraudulent mexican documents tells us that he is here illegally. and he committed this crime. we know he did. we're going to find him. 52 officers were killed. were shot and killed in the line of duty this year in the

united states when an officer shot and killed like this, just as a fellow officer, can you talk about what that's like. >> it's heart breaking. it's tremendously difficult for the organization. for the law enforcement agency who lost that police officer. and in this case, newman is a small town. it's small town america. it's may bury. everybody knows everyone. there's less than 15 people that work in this agency. and it's tremendously difficult. they've never in their history had a line of duty death. and you saw that today. given the chief's heart wrenching tribute to officer sing. >> it was extremely emotional and heart wrenching like you said to watch that press conference, knowing so many people are touched by what happens. our thought are with the newman police department. and good luck in the search for that suspect. thank you for joining us. >> thank you very much. thank you potosi. >> happening now, another

massive man hunt in the north bay, authorities searching for an inmate who escaped from san, quinton prison. he may have carjacked a woman in san rafael to get away. >> looking into the inmates background, what have we been able to find? >> frank and julie, this inmate was doing time here for carjacking and he may have carjacked a woman outside the prison gates. there's a possibility, he may no longer be in the suv. no one at the prison realized he was missing. 3.5 hours later. they believe men dough is a may have carjacked this woman. it looked like apon or a

gun through his t-shirt. he demanded the keys from her. he threatened to kill her. told her not to call the police or that he would shoot her. >> the woman who had been shopping at home depot. >> once she handed over the keys. she fled the scene in her vehicle. the carjacked suv is a toyota rav 4 with a toyota license plate. but i'm told it's very possible he may no longer be in the rav 4 because of his criminal history. i learned in july 2017 men dough 2017 he carjacked a man outside a west l.a. coffee shop. 15 minutes later he ditched the prius and stole a mercedes. and led police on a wild chase before being arrested. he was transferred to san, quinton in april. assigned to a job outside the secure perimeter of the prison. they're keeping an open mind on the off chance the inmate isn't responsible for the carjacking.

lower their guard and let a conversation happen with the inmates, law enforcement, and a select group of community members sitting side by side. no topics off limits. >> what is the process when you enter a highly volatile encounter with somebody who may be going through a mental health crisis or addiction. >> we do, as first responders, we do get that training to recognize that someone is probably under distress. we treat that differently. at the same time, if they're dealing with a weapon or something like that, we still have to protect life and limb. they don't have to just shoot to kill. they have shoot in the arm or the leg. >> that would be great if i'm a perfect shot. even under stress you're not a perfect shot. there's reasons we do center mass. people when you shoot center mass, they're capable of getting rounds off. >> if we're going to talk about one. we have to talk about both. we can't just talk about police brutality and not talk about

>> because i've crossed the blue line. and when you do that, there's retaliation. many say respect is the key when building trust with law enforcement. especially if the officer knows the people they serve. >> when the officer pulls the gun out he don't just see me. he sees my mother, my grandchildren, and it's harder to pull the trigger. >> every time a police officer would treat me with respect. and not look at me as a criminal, that would make a big difference in my life. >> we are the epidamy of the so- called enemy of the law enforcement we push that false agenda. >> that hurts my that. that's not how i view any person in this room. no one is my enemy. >> i see bad, negative things from law enforcement. what can i do to kdka tv news that? that was a motivating factor for me to become law enforcement. >> the inmates stress they don't want to be forgotten. most say they're trying to

right their wrong. >> whatever mistakes you made. just because you're locked up, not to think that we're not sill human beings. >> the public is naive. if they see more things like this, it would change their attitudes toward prisoners. >> i did 26 years on mica life sentence. ten of it here in san quinton. >> he and others agree that responsibility will go a lock way on the outside. including prosecutors who put people away. >> there is hope. changing the way we look at ready to be released. >> they're the ones who need to come to the community to stop the crime. how do we go to the legislature and get these guys out. >> when the opportunity comes for y'all to return, reach out to organizations like the

barbershop forum. >> it should be a learning moment. those words summed it up for me. it shows everyone has a part in making a difference in society. community is made of residents, law enforcement, and those who paid thundershower time for crimes and are returning home. next month we'll kickoff the third year at richland ashland youth center in san leandro. >> that was really intense. that has to be one of the most open, frank, discussions i've seen in any of your barbershop forums. what stood out to you? >> there were two parts. one when the gentleman said it's okay to teach the youth to become law enforcement. that's kind of strange coming from a personal who was locked up by law enforcement. but he's encouraging the next generation. and the other thing is like i said from the very beginning, everyone in there said we committed a crime and we're serving our time. it wasn't hey i don't belong here. hey i didn't do anything wrong. they took ownership. >> so interesting. paul, thank you.
