California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Monday announced a five-year court oversight of the Vallejo police department, where the agency must complete 45 police reforms and be approved by an independent evaluator to ensure that it meets those goals.
Bonta, standing with members of the Vallejo city council and police department at his side, said that this oversight comes as a result of a "stipulated judgment" after his office sued police in Solano County.
Vallejo Mayor Robert McConnell said he hoped that the agency could complete these tasks in less than five years. Vallejo Interim Police Chief Jason Ta speaks at a news conference about oversight of his department. Oct. 16, 2023 The suit cited more than 20 examples of people killed, roughed up or "brutalized" by Vallejo police since 2012, alleging that police have exhibited a "pattern and practice of using excessive force against citizens."
