Deputy Sheriff David Lundie, a Black officer with 11 years of service, filed a lawsuit against the Marin County Sheriff’s Office alleging racial discrimination. He claimed repeated harassment, unfair discipline, biased performance reviews, and being passed over for promotions due to his race. Despite applying for promotion seven times and having nearly 25 years of experience, he was not promoted. The lawsuit also alleges that white deputies were promoted ahead of him, even though he outscored many of them on internal tests and received outstanding performance reviews. Additionally, he was allegedly subjected to racial tokenism and micromanagement. The department has not promoted a single Black deputy since Mr. Lundie was hired in 2012. The lawsuit was filed in Marin County Superior Court in 2022.
