Top Citizens' Law Enforcement Review Board officials scheduled a special meeting to consider a host of changes, including one that would eliminate a one-year limit on the board's authority to investigate misconduct complaints.
state audit
Parker said he is pushing the change now in response to a campaign pledge from Sheriff Kelly Martinez at a debate last fall that all department employees should be subject to review by the panel. “The thought is that audit/monitoring models promote long-term, systemic change in a law enforcement agency,” Parker wrote to review board members. “It would be beneficial if CLERB was provided access to departments’ reporting systems.”
The proposed updates also include an expanded definition of “misconduct” for the agencies’ medical service providers. If adopted, the term would include “a deviation from standard of care, error or omission related to medical care or mental health services.”The citizens panel charged with reviewing deaths inside San Diego County jails or those who died while in Sheriff’s Department custody will consider a plan to summarily dismiss almost two dozen cases due to a long-running backlog.
