Juan Sevillano – Santa Clara County Department of Correction

Written by CBKN76

Sgt. Juan Sevillano was the on-duty supervisor during the August 2015 incident involving excessive force on an inmate. He acknowledged that the actions taken by the officers raised ‘red flags’ and stated that the methods used were not part of their training. While specific disciplinary actions against Sevillano are not detailed, his statements were part of the internal investigation that led to the termination of the involved officers.
