Bandit Detail (Los Cazadores de Baja Pollos) 1985-1986
A joint force of border patrol agents and San Diego police officers who patrolled the canyons near San Ysidro, CA for bandits who attacked, beat, robbed, rapped, and murdered aliens crossing the border. A few border patrol agents were wounded in gun fights with bandits, but many bandits were wounded and killed by this unit during it's several years of existence. I served on the unit in 1985 and 1986. It was during this time that gang bangers from San Diego shot and killed Kelly Ann Bazer, the first female sheriff's deputy to be killed in the line of duty. I led a border patrol element from the bandit detail that captured Prentice Byrd, one of her murderers, in the early morning hours after her murder the night before.
