In Response to CLERB's Recommendation to search or scan all persons entering detention facilities, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department announces the New Detention Facility Screening Process.

CLERB Thanks Sheriff for Policy Change in Response to Jail Search Recommendation.

Over the past two years, the Citizens Law Enforcement Review Board, known as CLERB, has urged that all individuals entering San Diego Sheriff Department detention facilities be subject to body scans to prevent illegal drugs from entering to prevent overdoses and deaths. This policy recommendation was submitted twice to the department.

Today, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department announced a significant change to departmental policy that demonstrates agreement with CLERB’s suggestion.

“CLERB has strongly urged the Sheriff to body scan every single person who works in our county jails to keep illegal drugs from getting inside. As CLERB's new chair, I thank Sheriff Martinez for hearing us and doing the hard work to build out and enact a plan to make every single person working in the jails subject to random, surprise contraband screenings. It will undoubtedly go a long way toward preventing overdoses, saving lives and sparing families the pain too many have suffered.” said MaryAnne Pintar, CLERB’s Chair.
"I also want to thank the families who show up every month to be a voice for their loved ones who have died in custody as well as the individuals who participate in our meetings consistently to advocate for change," she said.

Meetings Non-agenda public comment is set at 45 minutes maximum to ensure that the public has an opportunity to speak or a comment submitted read into the record and that the Review Board has adequate time to conduct its open and closed session business. Please note that the per-speaker time limit will not b...

CLERB Statement RE: SDSD Response to Its Policy Recommendation that All SDSD Staff be Scanned when Entering Detention Facilities

San Diego County’s Citizens’ Law Enforcement Review Board announced it will publicly discuss at its Feb. 13 meeting the County Sheriff’s latest rejection to body-scan all sheriff’s staff entering County jails.
The review board known as CLERB has strongly recommended body-scans to help prevent drug deaths and overdoses in County jails. The Sheriff’s department has twice rejected those recommendations, most recently in December 2023. Sheriff’s officials said they have reduced drugs getting into jails to “almost zero” through increased actions. Those include searches, investigations, intelligence and drug-detecting dogs.
CLERB officials say they were grateful for those actions and a 35% reduction in the number of in-custody deaths from 2022 to 2023. However, they said there were still 146 suspected overdoses in County detention facilities in 2023 and “our goal must be zero overdoses.”
“CLERB continues to be disappointed that body scanning of staff is not occurring,” said Paul Parker, CLERB’s executive officer. “(We) were hopeful that, at a minimum, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department would implement random body scanning of all staff. In other industries, most notably commercial airline operations, personnel are randomly scanned. As long as we continue to see overdose deaths in our jails, we will continue to push for scanning.”
CLERB was created by San Diego County voters in 1990 to provide independent investigation and oversight of the County’s Sheriff’s and Probation departments. Part of its authority includes oversight of all County jails in the unincorporated areas and in the nine cities that use the County’s Sheriff’s Department to provide law enforcement.
The Board’s mission is “to increase public confidence in and accountability of peace officers employed by the Sheriff’s Department or the Probation Department by conducting independent, thorough, timely, and impartial reviews of complaints of misconduct and deaths and other specified incidents arising out of or in connection with actions of peace officers.”
CLERB meets publicly once a month in room 302 of the San Diego County Administration Center, located at 1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego, 92101.
People can attend CLERB meetings virtually via Zoom. The Feb. 13 meeting is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. People can submit questions ahead of meetings at “Request to Speak.”
