Join us on September 9th for an in-person RSAC event!!!
TAKE ACTION TO SEPERATE THE SHERIFF -CORONER!
Earlier this year, California State Senator Sabrina Cervantes introduced a bill for Riverside County to separate the office of the coroner away from the sheriff’s department. This legislation comes at a critical time for Riverside County, which continues to rank as one of the worst for in-custody deaths in the state. This model of joint sheriff-coroners- as seen in Riverside County, has led to incidents of inconsistent determinations for the causes of death, delays in reporting, and limited access to information for families and the public. SB 1379 will modernize and strengthen the integrity of death investigations in Riverside County by separating the sheriffs-coroner’s office and establishing an independent medical examiner. Join the Riverside Sheriff Accountability Coalition (RSAC) and other community orgs to urge our legislature to pass this bill!
