"If you care about law enforcement, you should care about accountability and ensuring public confidence in law enforcement. And on that front, it’s clear the Riverside County Board of Supervisors has been content to allow Sheriff Chad Bianco to take the department off a cliff as he yells “Yeehaw!”

Medina is clear on what he wants to do. He wants to see the coroner’s office split from the sheriff. He wants to see an oversight body put in place and an inspector general installed to see to it that things are going as they should. Roth, by contrast, is beholden to the same deputies union that recruited Bianco to run for sheriff in the first place.

Jose Medina gets our endorsement."
