Biscailuz, Eugene Warren (1883 – 1969)

February 3, 2017 by Sgt. John Stanley

In 1932, the year he was appointed sheriff, Eugene Biscailuz was referred to as the most popular man in Los Angeles County. In the program for the party honoring his fifty-one years of service in law enforcement in 1958, he was called “Mr. California.” As his retirement approached in December of that year, the county board of supervisors, unable to imagine Los Angeles County without Eugene Biscailuz serving in some capacity, attempted to create a position for him as the official county greeter.

He was satisfied performing the jobs available to Deputy Sheriffs at that facility and wanted nothing else.
