NRLO is proud to introduce you to Reserve Deputy Preston L. "PL" Schoentube.  Deputy Schoentube is filling you in about the Morgan County Sheriff's Department Reserve and about his work with the NRA (National Rifle Association) - please check back for more in this very special column that you won't want to miss!  PL has a wealth of information which he is willing to share.  Like many of this country's retirees (and like some of NRLO's Training Authors), PL has bypassed his retirement not only to help give the web pages of NRLO more value, but to be of aid to today's "up and coming" Reserve Law Enforcement Officers (and to the regular, full-timers who are out there "on-the-line" - hopefully backed up by a crack team like the Morgan County's Ultimate Volunteers.)  NRLO wishes to take this opportunity to thank Deputy Schoentube for his contributions to today's Reserve and Auxiliary Officers.

Deputy Schoentube told NRLO in a recent e-mail:  "I enjoyed talkng to Leon the other day.  As I told him, I'm an NRA Certified Instructor in the "Refuse To Be A Victim" (all rights held by NRA) crime prevention program; and I present 4-hour seminars to various groups or individuals.  I do this "free of charge" as a public service and would be happy to do same at any conferences.  I am often asked if attendees can donate a buck or two to help cover the cost of the book and materials I give them.  They're certainly welcome to do that, but there's no obligation to do so.  Click here to read more about Reserve Officer Schoentube - or "PL" as he prefers to be called.

Staff for the Sheriff's Department is the Sheriff, a Chief Deputy, seven Deputies, five tax Deputies, one law secretary, and around 18 Deputy Reserves.  Under the leadership of Sheriff Ronnie McIntyre, the Morgan County Sheriff's Reserves act as the "eyes and ears" of the Department.

Pictured at left:  1st Row:  T. Link, K-9 Brend.  2nd Row: Detective K. Barney, Chief Deputy T. Stapleton, Sheriff R. McIntire, Secretary R. Michael, Deputy T. Johnson, Corporal A. Thomas.  3rd Row:  Corporal V. Shambaugh, Deputy S. Place, Deputy J. Kiley, Baliff A. C. Bohrer.

Sheriff McIntyre said of his Deputy Reserves: "The Deputy Reserves help with transports, direct traffic, patrol in high crime areas, and they assist bailiffs.  They're our eyes and ears. Without the Reserves, I would need a lot more Deputies.  They really help us out a lot."

Pictured at right:  Deputy Reserves B. Lewis, P. Schoentube, Animal Control A. Swaim, P. Woodward, L. Fox, C. Widmyer, B. McBee.

In a recent article in "The Morgan Messenger" (written by Kate Evans), the headline read: Sheriff McIntyre's Department "does everything under the sun."  They handle all types of calls and situations from burglaries, domestic violence and traffic accidents to animal calls, missing children and drug and criminal investigations.

Chief Deputy Tim Stapleton oversees training, does all of the scheduling and evaluations, supervises the community service workers, and is in charge of all the Deputies.

"REFUSE TO BE A VICTIM"
(all rights held by NRA)

By Preston L. "PL" Schoentube
Morgan County Sheriff's Reserve
West Virginia

Experts agree that the single most important step towards ensuring your personal safety is by making the conscious decision to REFUSE TO BE A VICTIM.  Criminals prefer easy targets.  You stand a much better chance of preventing criminal attack if you make yourself difficult to prey upon.  This means you must have an overall personal safety strategy in place BEFORE you need it.  That is why the NRA has sponsored the "Refuse to be a Victim" personal safety course.

It is a 3-hour, confidential seminar that teaches easy-to-understand tactics you can use to prevent criminal attack.  You will NOT be encouraged to buy a gun, nor is this a hands-on physical course.  But you will get the tools you need to develop your own personal safety strategy, including information about:

• The Psychology of Criminal Predators
• Home Security
• Phone & Internet Security
• Automobile & Travel Security
• Physical Security
• Self-Defense Physical Training
• Personal Protection Devices
• And more!

REFUSE TO BE A VICTIM!
CALL:  304/258-2724
Cost of Seminar:  FREE
Presented by PL Schoentube, Certified Instructor, in cooperation with sponsoring Departments
