Sheriff Shannon Dicus penned a letter to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation regarding concerns over security staff reductions at Patton State Hospital in Highland. The California Department of State Hospitals operates Patton, which serves a large population of inmates who are incompetent to stand trial, not guilty by reason of insanity, sexually violent predators, and offenders with severe mental health disorders, sheriff's officials stated. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's specific concern to CDCR Secretary Jeff Macomber is the reduction of perimeter patrols at Patton located on Highland Avenue, north of Interstate 210.
