Photograph with caption, "Cochran: 1st Black to Hold Rank of Deputy Chief. Ron Cochran, captain of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Highland station has been promoted to deputy chief. He is the first African-American to hold the rank in the department's 156 year history. Cochran says a racial profiling incident 25 years ago led him to join the department in 1984. 'I wanted to make a difference from the inside. I think we've made progress in that area but there are still gaps. I feel Sheriff Ron Hoops is committed to ensuring an equitable department from the inside out,' Cochran said recently", 1/14/2010, /repositories/3/archival_objects/1071, Box: 5.
