Good morning Mr. Sinyangwe –
Could you please clarify your request? Specifically item #4, the current sheriff’s department policy manual. The Department is in the process of transitioning to a Lexipol manual, but is still in the revision process. The tentative release date will be in February 2020. It would be helpful if you could narrow down your request so we might better respond to your request.
Thank you for your interest in Riverside County Sheriff’s Department records.
