Background about Inspector General

Under the direction of the Director of the Office of Public Safety Accountability (OPSA), the newly established Inspector General (IG) conducts concurrent independent investigations of officer-involved shootings, deaths while in police custody, and police use-of-force incidents resulting in serious bodily injury. Upon completion of the investigations, the IG will report the respective findings, conclusions, and recommendations to the City of Sacramento City Council, the

Sacramento Community Review Police Commission (SCRPC), and the public. Upon completion of the initial onboarding process with the City of Sacramento, the new IG began his primary responsibility of serving in an on-call capacity responding to critical incidents involving the City of Sacramento public safety personnel. In this reporting period, the IG responded to two officer-involved shootings and initiated independent investigations.
