(Napa Co) County rejects grand jury recommendation on police panel

Napa Valley Register -

Napa County’s response to a grand jury report on the 2010 police-shooting death of Alta Heights resident Richard Poccia will reject the notion that a civilian review board is needed to review such incidents.

The grand jury had recommended such a board be created, although the county said it’s unneeded — the civilian grand jury can investigate such incidents.

The county Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to transmit that response and others to the grand jury. It didn’t make any changes to version staff and other county officials drew up.
