Description
A community activist has filed two complaints with the California Department of Justice against the San Diego Police Department and Chief David Nisleit alleging misconduct within the department.
"Today we are calling for an external entity to initiate an investigation into corruption within the San Diego Police Department's Internal Affairs Unit," said Tasha Williamson during a news conference Monday morning.
The complaints were dated November 19.
Williamson stood alongside Yusef Miller, Executive Director of the North County Equity Justice Coalition and Genevieve Jones-Wright, Executive Director of Community Advocates for Just and Moral Governance. Jones-Wright also previously ran for San Diego District Attorney.
"I think that seen enough, we have heard enough, and we cannot continue to ask for community members to continue to put their trust in folks that don't deserve it," said Jones-Wright.
The complaints filed by Williamson come on the heels of a lawsuit announced last month by current SDPD Captain Alberto Leos. He filed a civil rights complaint with the state, accusing the department of corruption, discrimination, and retaliation.
