San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department materials explain that any civilian can file a complaint with any Department member. Complainants have the right to have their allegation investigated, and supervisors handle complaints when possible. Investigations may end with one of several findings: UNFOUNDED, EXONERATED, SUSTAINED, NOT SUSTAINED, or FRIVOLOUS. The agency keeps civilian complaints—along with related reports and findings—for at least five years. Fair warning: knowingly filing a false complaint is illegal and may lead to prosecution. On a separate note, SB 2 took effect in San Bernardino County on January 1, 2024. The law changed CCW rules by adding "sensitive places" prohibitions, setting training hour requirements for new and renewal applicants, and requiring CCW-listed firearms to be registered to the permit holder.
