OFFICER -INVOLVED DEATH(S) (OID) <br />The Riverside City Charter defines the ability of the Community Police Review Commission to review <br />and investigate officer -involved deaths. Charter Section 810, empowers the Commission "to review <br />and investigate the death of any individual arising out of or in connection with actions of a sworn <br />police officer, regardless of whether a complaint regarding such death has been fled." <br />Immediately upon the death of a person arising out of or in connection with the actions of a sworn <br />police officer, a criminal investigation commences. The Riverside Police Department (RPD) conducts <br />the criminal investigation, which includes gathering physical evidence, obtaining statements from <br />involved parties and witnesses, and gathering reports from all involved officers. <br />Information regarding OID cases can be found on the Commission's website below: <br />RiversideCA.gov/CPRC <br />In 2019, the Commission evaluated three (3) officer -involved death cases.
