	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SCR 152, Gaines. Deputy Sheriff Danny P. Oliver Memorial Highway.
   This measure would designate a specified portion of State Highway
Route 50 in El Dorado County as the Deputy Sheriff Danny P. Oliver
Memorial Highway. The measure would request the Department of
Transportation to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing
this special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate
sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.



   WHEREAS, Danny P. Oliver grew up in the Del Paso Heights
neighborhood of Sacramento and graduated from Grant High School.
Growing up in that "tough part" of town "allowed him to understand
people" and gave him a street sense that served him well as a sheriff'
s deputy, according to his wife, Susan Oliver. While Danny Oliver's
father was a firefighter and would have enjoyed having his son seek
the same professional path, Danny instead gravitated toward a career
in law enforcement. He attended the sheriff's academy and finished at
the top of his class academically while his wife worked two jobs to
support his training and their family; and
   WHEREAS, Deputy Sheriff Oliver joined the Sacramento County
Sheriff's Department in 1999 and worked the graveyard shift for a
decade. Deputy Sheriff Oliver was a dedicated street cop who always
showed up for work an hour early and went after the worst criminals
on his beat; and
   WHEREAS, Though he loved catching the "bad guys," Deputy Sheriff
Oliver also had a soft side. He once arrested a woman on a drug
charge who was with her daughter. She appeared stable, so he uncuffed
the suspect and let her sit with her young daughter. As he left
them, the suspect's daughter called Deputy Sheriff Oliver a teddy
bear--a term that became his nickname in the department; and
   WHEREAS, Deputy Sheriff Oliver was also dedicated to his family.
He helped his daughters with their schoolwork and did CrossFit
exercises with them, but he never felt that they had to be like him.
During his last conversation with his wife, he told Susan that he had
finished making her a chicken coop in their yard; and
   WHEREAS, Deputy Sheriff Oliver also had a soft heart and enjoyed
connecting with the Sacramento County community he was charged with
protecting, answering emails from concerned citizens, and never
declining to attend a neighborhood meeting; and
   WHEREAS, Deputy Sheriff Oliver, at 47 years of age, was shot and
killed on October 24, 2014, in the parking lot of a Motel 6 on Arden
Way in Sacramento County as he and Deputy Sheriff Michael David
Davis, Jr., who was on assignment as an acting detective, were
investigating a suspicious vehicle. A male occupant of the vehicle
had opened fire on the deputies with a 9mm handgun, striking Deputy
Sheriff Oliver in the forehead. The man and a female occupant then
fled in the vehicle as his partner returned fire. A short distance
away the male shot a civilian when the couple attempted to carjack
the man's pickup truck. The couple then carjacked two other vehicles
as they continued fleeing the area. The man suspected of killing
Deputy Sheriff Oliver, Luis Enrique Monroy-Bracamonte, is also
accused in the shooting death of Placer County Deputy Sheriff Michael
David Davis, Jr. that same day in the City of Auburn; now,
therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the
portion of United States Highway Route 50 in El Dorado County from
Cambridge Road Over Crossing 2583 (PM 4.962) to Cameron Park Drive
Under Crossing 25-84 (PM 6.570) as the Deputy Sheriff Danny P. Oliver
Memorial Highway; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested to
determine the cost of appropriate signs consistent with the signing
requirements for the state highway system showing this special
designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources
sufficient to cover the cost, to erect those signs; and be it further

   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the Director of Transportation and to the author for
appropriate distribution.
