In-Custody Death and Serious Injury Documentation Review
At a glance
What: the Oversight Board's review of death certificates and incident reports for deaths and serious injuries in the county jail.
Where it stands: On October 28 the board found documentation incomplete in at least one case and learned that the risk administrator is not routinely notified of jail deaths.
Staff reported the safety and risk administrator would welcome notification of deaths at the jail.
The board noted most reviewed deaths without a recorded cause were not overdoses, differing from public statements, and judged one incident report inadequate.
