2024
In 2024 the new Independent Civilian Advisory Commission on the Sheriff’s Office (ICAC) began meeting, making the first real steps toward community involvement in our Sheriff’s Office. We hosted 12 community events that year with a combined attendance of more than 1000, with prominent guest speakers including Judge LaDoris Cordell, author Jessica Pishko, and journalist Eris Umansky. We also hosted a community education event on Measure A.
2023
2023 was a year of remarkable progress in the effort to have independent oversight of the Sheriff’s Office. Our Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to create a new Commission, which is a major first step toward oversight. Fixin’ SMC also helped create the California Coalition for Sheriff Oversight (CCSO), a coalition of grassroots activists from eight counties as well as the ACLU of Northern California and the CA League of Women Voters Sheriff Oversight working group.
2022
Fixin’ SMC is pleased to announce our first year-end report, covering the accomplishments and milestones of our first full year as an organization. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and we know we have a lot more work ahead of us to ensure that oversight of the Sheriff’s Office is effective, independent, and a true benefit to our county.
