No. The Review Board conducts independent investigations of complaints for the purpose of advising the Sheriff, Chief Probation Officer, and Board of Supervisors. Filing a complaint with the Review Board does not preclude you from filing a complaint with the Sheriff’s Department, Probation Department, a County Claim for reimbursement, or a criminal or civil action. The Review Board’s investigation is separate and distinct from any other investigation, claim, or action.
