Sheriff Alex Villanueva accused the county of failing to adequately defend the Sheriff’s Department in lawsuits alleging excessive force or wrongful conduct cases by deputies.
"I think this is unacceptable,'' Supervisor Holly Mitchell said."We need to understand ways to eliminate the high costs of litigation in the sheriff's department and ensure corrective action plans are developed by this department and all departments, and they result in meaningful change.''
Without discussing the specifics of any of the cases settled Tuesday, Villanueva said Wednesday the county has often failed to mount an effective legal defense of lawsuits against the sheriff's department, opting instead for quick settlements that are rising in cost. "Go back 10-20 years and you had to fight the county tooth and nail over every lawsuit,'' he said."They've decided now that they'd prefer to just have the sheriff's department pay these settlements out of the sheriff's department's budget.''
