           In 1955, at the age of 19, Monty Conley became Woodlake, 
          California's youngest police officer.  He joined the Tulare 
          County Sheriff's Department in 1973, where he worked in the 
          jail and patrol divisions and later as a detective in the 
          narcotics unit.  Joe Landin served in the United States 
          Marine Corps and in Vietnam and subsequently became a 
          Woodlake police officer in 1974.  In 1981 he joined the 
          Tulare County Sheriff's Department, working in the jail and 
          patrol divisions and later as a detective in the Sheriff's 
          Tactical Enforcement Patrol and the narcotics unit.

          On August 5, 1985, Detective Conley and his partner 
          Detective Landin were investigating a narcotics case in 
          southern Tulare County.  While traveling in Detective 
          Conley's vehicle, they collided with another motorist who 
          ran a stop sign at over 85 miles per hour.  Both detectives 
          lost their lives.  The other motorist was tried and 
          convicted of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence 
          and served a prison term of five years and four months.

          This resolution designates a portion of State Route 198 
          between Road 204 and Mehrten Drive in Tulare County as the 
          "Detective Monty L. Conley and Detective Joe R. Landin 
          Memorial Highway."  This resolution requires the Department 
          of Transportation to erect appropriate signs upon receipt 
          of donations from non-state sources to cover the costs.
