The Alameda County Board of Supervisors is set to consider whether to place unprecedented civilian oversight over the sheriff's office.In general, the idea is to create an outside body of seven regular citizens who could request information, hold hearings and make recommendations to the board of supervisors – since a sheriff is elected, their power, by nature, would be more limited than over a police department.
The board of supervisors is being asked to consider three different versions of sheriff oversight. Two versions – one by the county counsel and another by Supervisor Elisa Márquez – propose that the sheriff would have to authorize an oversight commission investigation before any alleged deputy misconduct could go forward. The third proposal, drafted by the ACLU, the Coalition for Police Accountability and the League of Women Voters, does not.
