Overview: A coalition of organizations and advocates in Riverside County, California have launched a petition demanding accountability within the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. The petition calls for the creation of an independent community oversight committee, the appointment of an inspector general, and the separation of the coroner’s office from the sheriff’s department. The coalition includes the American Civil Liberties Union, League of United Latin American Citizens, and community members, and demands transparency and accountability measures, including an independent Inspector General’s Office and stronger accountability measures for sheriff-involved shootings and in-custody deaths.
