Breakdown of Sheriff's Department Billing

Response from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department regarding the January 2020 Billing to the City of Imperial Beach. Bottom line; the expenses are all plugged numbers with no receipts to justify the charges. The Sheriff’s Department suggested that I ‘ask the City’ why COPPS and RRP Funding is just handed over to the Sheriff’s Department.
