A new Alameda County civil grand jury report outlines a series of ethical issues that have persisted over the past half decade.
Nearly 10 years after a grand jury report noted serious ethical concerns in Alameda County, it is still one of the only counties in the wider Bay Area that does not have an ethics policy, a whistleblower procedure, or both.
Civil grand juries are composed of county residents who serve as local government watchdogs; the county is legally obligated to respond to their recommendations—but not to implement them. Alameda County’s lack of whistleblower and ethics policies are unique in the region. San Mateo County, San Francisco County, and Marin County all have codes of ethical conduct, ethics policies, and whistleblower programs. Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Sonoma, and Napa counties also have some form of county-wide ethical training.
