cliques, and secret subgroups and ensure that all complaints submitted
through the system are documented in a standardized format and shared
with the OIG aligned with their quarterly reporting.

insignia on the facilities' structure or furnishings that are not official County
and/or Sheriff insignias and report, in writing, its findings to the Board within
90 days and quarterly thereafter; and to request the Sheriff give the OIG

necessary to conduct this inspection and inventory.

legitimate investigative, evidentiary, training, or oversight purposes.

and unresolved meet-and-confer processes related to deputy gangs,
cliques, and secret subgroups. For each process, the report shall identify:
