Citizens Law Enforcement Review Board (CLERB)

San Diego County voters established the Citizens’ Law Enforcement Review Board (CLERB) in 1990 to independently and impartially investigate complaints against San Diego County Sheriff’s deputies and probation officers. The Review Board is composed of eleven volunteers from the County’s five Supervisory Districts. Members are not affiliated with the Sheriff’s Department, Probation Department, or the County of San Diego. Review Board members are nominated by the County’s Chief Administrative Officer and appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The Review Board is currently supported by nine County employees: six investigators, an administrative analyst, an administrative secretary, and an Executive Officer.
