SACRAMENTO— TOMORROW at 1:30 PM: Assemblymember Akilah Weber, MD (D-San Diego) will present an audit request to the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC) on behalf of the Democratic members of the San Diego delegation to investigate San Diego County Sheriff’s Department's inmate deaths over the last 15 years. The proposal is co-authored by Assemblymembers Tasha Boerner-Horvath, Brian Maienschein, Christopher Ward, Lorena Gonzalez, Senate President pro Tempore Toni Atkins, and Senator Ben Hueso.
The request, submitted to JLAC in April 2021, seeks to address the disproportionate rate of inmate deaths while in the Department's custody and evaluate the protocol and prevention procedures of the Department. If approved, the California State Auditor would conduct an audit of the information requested.
