San Diego County police reforms since May 2020
George Floyd's death on May 25, 2020 sparked reforms to police departments across the U.S. Here's what has been done in San Diego County.
San Diego County police agencies end carotid restraint
Following May 2020, law enforcement agencies across the county began to phase out the use of the carotid restraint, which can block the flow of blood to the brain.In June 2020, California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered the state police training program to stop teaching officers the move. Newsom said that hold has no place in the 21st century.
Voters pass Measure B to form new independent police commission
There is currently a Community Review Board on Police Practices in the City of San Diego, but supporters of Measure B said that body is far from independent. The Community Review Board will be dissolved and the new commission will be formed. The commission will have independent counsel, subpoena power, and the ability to review officer misconduct and make recommendations.
New 2021 California laws reform policing
Several new California laws aimed at reforming policing starting in 2021 go into effect, including: — Assembly Bill 1196 (Bans the use of arm-based grips often referred to as carotid restraints) — Assembly Bill 1185 (Allows county supervisors to create a sheriff oversight board) — Assembly Bill 2542 (Suspects could be entitled to new trials or sentences if they can demonstrate racial bias played a role in any part of their case)
County proposes more police reforms
Supevisor Nathan Fletcher said the coronavirus pandemic increased mental health challenges and the county must build a network of comprehensive care to reduce homelessness and serve residents "in the right place, at the right time." One example is new mobile crisis response teams, as part of a pilot program, that Fletcher said "replace cops with clinicians" by de-escalating situations and providing treatment. The program will be taken countywide, but more health care professionals are needed, Fletcher said.
