Recommendations:
1. The Board of Supervisors will consider rewards in criminal cases of great seriousness
and notoriety, involving threats to public safety,. and in which the reward has
significant potential to result in successful apprehension and prosecution.
2. Requests for rewards in such cases shall be referred to the County Administrator for
recommendation, based upon consultation with the District Attorney and the Sheriff's
Department as to the need for such reward.
Background:
This report was prepared pursuant to your July 10, 1984 Order. From time to time, your
Board has issued rewards in criminal cases. Your approval of such rewards has been
relatively infrequent and has involved cases of serious criminality, public notoriety, and
grave threat to public safety. The intent of such rewards is to assist in the successful
apprehension and prosecution of such cases and the removal of convicted offenders from the
community. It is the recommendation of this Office that rewards be considered only in
these types of cases and that any requests for rewards be referred to this Office for
recommendation based upon consultation with the Sheriff's Department and District Attorney's
Office. Both of these departments support the above recommendations.
