But the settlement with Frankie Greer does not resolve a broader dispute over the release of internal sheriff's records.
‘The families of the folks who have died are certainly not seeing the CIRB reports,’ the oversight board’s executive officer said. ‘Nobody is getting those reports.’that the department release critical-incident reports — one of many suggestions auditors put forward as a way to help reduce the number of in-custody deaths.
But Sheriff’s Department lawyers — as well as litigators who defend the county in civil lawsuits like the Greer case — say information contained in the Critical Incident Review Board findings is exempt from public inspection. But Greer’s legal team filed a sworn declaration from longtime CIRB member and former sheriff’s Cmdr. David Myers that contradicted Faigin.
Myers also questioned why Faigin was on the board because he advised the sheriff — not the department — and whether it was appropriate that the attorney appointed himself board chair. “Anyone on the floor could have accessed the office because it was not locked, including janitorial and night staff,” the former sheriff’s commander said.“The sheriff has no response to the declaration as that will be decided by the courts,” Lt. Amber Baggs, the department spokesperson, said two days after the Greer settlement was approved by the Board of Supervisors.
