RSO Cois M. Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that a civil rights investigation is being opened into Riverside County Sheriff's Department (RSO). The investigation will determine if the agency engaged in a pattern of unconstitutional policing. 'All Californians deserve fairness and respect from the institutions that serve them,' Bonta said. 'When some communities don't see or feel they are being treated equitably by law enforcement, it contributes to distrust and hurts public safety.
