                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 16, 2010

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend and 
congratulate Brian Muller upon his retirement as the Mariposa County 
Sheriff/Coroner/Public Administrator.
  Mr. Muller has served Mariposa since February of 1981, when he 
started in the Sheriff's Office as a Jail Officer/Dispatcher. In 
November of 1985, he became a Deputy Sheriff, after which he received a 
series of promotions: to Sergeant in 1998, to Lieutenant in 1999 and 
finally to Undersheriff in 2003. Finally, Mr. Muller was appointed as 
the Sheriff/Coroner/Public Administrator in January 2008 and he has 
ably served the County in that capacity since.
  While working for the Sheriff's Office, Mr. Muller was responsible 
for a wide range of duties in the County, including 9-1-1 dispatch, 
patrol, an adult detention facility, investigations, court security, 
boat patrol, animal control, coroner, public administrator duties, and 
Sheriff's Community Organized Policing Effort (SCOPE). Mr. Muller also 
successfully applied for a number of grants from the State of 
California that benefited Mariposa County. For his service to the 
County, Mr. Muller received a number of awards, including the Mariposa 
Gazette Best Peace Officer award and Law Enforcement Officer of the 
Year from Mountain Crisis Services.
  In addition to his many duties as Sheriff, Mr. Muller has contributed 
to the County in other ways. Brad and his wife Sarah are actively 
involved in their church and regularly assist at the Senior Center.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Brad Muller for his dedicated 
service to the people of Mariposa County. I invite my colleagues to 
join me in wishing Mr. Muller many years of continued success.
