No public Board of Supervisors record · 2023-04-19
No record was found of the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors discussing AB 1185, civilian sheriff oversight, or an inspector general. In April 2023 the Civil Grand Jury found the county's custodial facilities failed to comply with the Prison Rape Elimination Act and recommended a DOJ-certified audit; the Board, as statutory respondent, addressed the audit but did not take up civilian oversight or AB 1185.

What is AB 1185?
AB 1185 (2020) added California Government Code § 25303.7. It lets a California county establish civilian oversight of its sheriff — a sheriff oversight board, an Office of Inspector General, or both — either by action of the Board of Supervisors or by a vote of county residents.
The law is permissive, not a mandate: each county decides whether to create one. Where a county does, the Board of Supervisors may grant the body subpoena power.
