In 1999, Chief Sparks was involved in the reassignment of Officer Deborah Sivulich-Boddy from the Davis Metro Narcotics Strike Force. Boddy alleged that her removal was due to gender discrimination, as she was the first female officer in the unit. She filed a sex discrimination charge, claiming that supervisors believed women did not make good Strike Force members. In 2001, Boddy was terminated from the department, leading to further allegations of retaliation and discrimination. The case resulted in multiple legal proceedings, highlighting issues of gender bias and procedural due process within the department.
