“The county’s plan is to have them all on leave until Jan. 4,” Wert said Friday.

The county’s environmental health service employees were attending an all-day training conference and holiday luncheon at Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino on Dec. 2 when Syed Farook, an environmental health specialist for the county, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, burst into the event, clad in tactical gear and ski masks and brandishing assault rifles. They opened fire on the crowd of about 70, killing 14 people, most of them county employees, and wounding 22 others.
Environmental health specialists conduct health inspections of restaurants, schools and other businesses countywide.
Temporary staff will run environmental services, an arm of the Department of Public Health, in the interim. They will be composed of county employees who formerly worked in the division, retired employees who formerly worked in the division, and possibly employees from other counties, Wert said.
Should the need arise to pull employees from other counties, the state Department of Public Health would coordinate that because environmental services is actually a function of the state that the county carries out, Wert said.
San Bernardino County’s Environmental Health Services division has 114 budgeted positions for the current fiscal year.

Long Lines Form at Gun Stores Following San Bernardino Attack

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KABC) -- The fallout from the terror strike at the Inland Regional Center is measurable. Long lines of shoppers have been forming outside San Bernardino gun stores. "I plan on getting a couple here," said Monica Squires, who now sleeps with a cross bow above her bed.
Other gun owners are going one step further. They are seeking a CCW, a concealed weapons permit that authorizes a gun owner to carry that weapon in public for personal protection.
"I think it's time. Things are getting a little dangerous. Terrorists are just too close right here in Redlands," said Tom Farley, referring suspected mass shooters Syed Rizwan Farook and wife, Tashfeen Malik.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department processes the CCW applications, and since the massacre, phones have been ringing off the hook. A CCW official tells Eyewitness News that an estimated 1,100 people have filled out extensive forms and are now awaiting the next step in the screening process. The vetting aims to determine whether the applicant is law-abiding and as it states on the application, is "of good moral character."
