Unnamed Deputies

[CBKN76]

In February 2025, a lawsuit was filed against the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and the Moreno Valley Unified School District, alleging that school police officers used excessive force and discriminated against an 11-year-old Black student with disabilities. The complaint asserts that the officers violently handcuffed the student multiple times for exhibiting disability-related behaviors that posed no danger. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief and damages for the harm caused.

Multiple lawsuits have been filed against the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department in 2025, alleging misconduct and excessive force leading to in-custody deaths. Families of deceased inmates have filed suits claiming that their relatives died due to negligence and abuse by deputies. These lawsuits are part of a broader pattern of allegations against the department, which is also under a civil rights investigation by the California Attorney General.
