I declare under penalty of perjury that the following facts are true and that there is
probable cause to believe that the designated articles and property are now in the described
aforementioned vehicles. I also declare that all facts and statements contained herein were

I, Jake Steel, Your Affiant have been a California Highway Patrol Peace Officer since
December of 1996. I graduated from the California Highway Patrol Police Academy in June of
1997 after completing over 700 hours of instruction in basic police practices and procedures.
While employed with California Highway Patrol I worked in various assignments
including: Uniformed patrol, Field Training Officer, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT),
Officer in Charge (OIC), Intermediate Accident Investigator, Advanced Accident Investigator,
Advanced Drug Training, Drug Recognition Evaluator (DRE), California Highway Patrol
Academy Instructor, Departmental Range Officer, and Departmental Firearms Inspector.
While working uniform patrol, I was also assigned to the Special Investigative Unit (SIU)
that was called out to major injury/fatal collisions. In 1998, I completed a 40 hour Intermediate
Traffic Accident Investigation Course. This training included instruction in scene assessment,
physical evidence identification, photography, road environment, measuring and diagramming,
vehicle factors, and interview techniques. In 2001, I completed an 80 hour Advanced Traffic
Accident Investigation Course. This training included instruction in diagramming, vehicle
dynamics, mechanical assessment, drag factor, speed analysis and computation, lamp analysis,
human factors, freefall analysis, and time-position analysis. In 2012, I attended a DUI/Drug
Recognition (DRE) and FST Course. This course included instruction in deterrence, legal issues,
identification and detection, pre-arrest screening, concepts and principles of standardized field
sobriety tests, and report writing. During the course of these investigations, I conducted
numerous interviews with victims, witnesses and suspects.
I am currently assigned to the Sacramento District Attorney’s Office as a criminal
investigator and have been so assigned since January 2014. In this capacity, I specialize in
investigating motor vehicle related crimes, such as vehicular manslaughter and hit and run
crimes. In my career as a California Highway Patrol Officer I have conducted or assisted with
over 2500 traffic related investigations. I have conducted or assisted in numerous complex
accident investigations in which reconstruction theories and scientific formula were used. During
those investigations, I was regularly called upon to interview victims, witnesses, and suspects
and to form opinions regarding the cause of the collision.
