DOUGLAS — For a pair of local ranchers — Jack Ladd and his son John — they envision the new Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson will look at border issues affecting Cochise County residents with a fresh attitude.
Johnson was invited to tour Cochise County by U.S. Rep. Ron Barber, on Dec. 23, the day Johnson was sworn into office.
Wednesday, the Ladds were among a small group of local officials who met Johnson at the Douglas Border Patrol Station in what was the secretary's first visit to Arizona in his new role as the head of the Department of Homeland Security.
Jack Ladd said he was impressed with Johnson's attitude.
During the meeting of residents and officials — to include Sierra Vista's Mayor Rick Mueller and Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels — Ladd said a number of suggestions were given to the DHS secretary "and there were some complaints" on how the department handles border issues.
But generally it was a positive meeting, he said.
His son said Johnson reminded him of Colin Powell.
"He was very attentive," John Ladd said.
While the number of people crossing their ranch properties is down, it is still happening, Jack Ladd said.
"Five to 10 groups a day cross," he said, adding they are small groups now consisting of three people or fewer.
By his estimation anywhere between 10 to 20 illegal immigrants cross Ladd's ranches, which have property directly adjacent to the border, every day.
One positive downward trend are drug vehicles crossing their land.
"There hasn't been one since Nov. 16," John Ladd said.
His father smiled and said maybe it's because the harvest is over.
John Ladd said the Border Patrol installed a couple of surveillance cameras on their property, for which he and his father are thankful.
Jack Ladd said what he got out of the meeting, which the Herald/Review was denied access to, is most of the people "are looking for the Border Patrol to do a better job."
Mueller said he came away from the more than hour-long meeting with Johnson feeling that "he sincerely wants to help."
Although the mayor said he still has a dose of skepticism, he hopes the DHS secretary will do more to help southern Arizona.
Dannels said having the DHS secretary visit has happened before, with former Arizona Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano doing it when she headed the department.
The Border Patrol does excellent work, but it is "time to redefine the plan," he said.
Johnson listened carefully and promised to make things better, the sheriff said.
"People are not looking for words, they are looking for action," Dannels said.

DPS detectives seize $30,000, drugs and firearms during service of a search warrant in Chandler
The search warrant stemmed from a traffic stop by DPS' Highway Patrol Division

Detectives with the Arizona Department of Public Safety's Criminal Investigations Division served a search warrant at a Chandler residence on Jan. 21 that resulted in the seizures of approximately $30,000 in cash, numerous firearms, hundreds of ammunition rounds, methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana and other tools used to weigh and package drugs.
The Chandler Police Special Operations Unit (SOU) assisted DPS with service of the warrant.
Three rifles, a shotgun, and four handguns were seized. One handgun had previously been reported stolen to the Tempe Police Department.
The drugs seized included half an ounce of methamphetamine, three grams of heroin, and an ounce of marijuana, all of which were prepackaged for sale.
Detectives located four suspects inside the residence while a fifth suspect attempted to evade detection by hiding in the attic. SOU operators gave verbal commands for an extended period of time but eventually fired pepper balls into the residence and the suspect came out from the attic.
The five suspects were taken into custody.
The search warrant stemmed from a traffic stop earlier in January where a DPS officer conducted a search of the vehicle and located methamphetamine, heroin and prescription pills packaged for sale. Information obtained during the traffic stop led detectives to the residence in Chandler.
The occupants of the vehicle were arrested during the traffic stop.
