## Resource

Riverside County supervisors take a bold step toward accountability by forming a new committee to design civilian oversight for the Sheriff’s Department — a move spurred by a damning grand jury report exposing deaths in custody and systemic transparency failures. With six months to study models from other jurisdictions, gather public input, and crunch the hefty financial numbers (starting at half a million, ballooning to millions annually), the committee faces skepticism from critics who fear it’s just a delay tactic. Despite Sheriff’s Department pushback and past failed attempts, the 4-0 vote signals a commitment to action — even if the path forward remains contentious.
