San Diego County Board of Supervisors selected Anthony Ray as the new interim sheriff.
Ray will serve until the winner of the November election takes over. Before formally assuming the interim sheriff’s post, he will have to undergo a background check. Supervisors chose Ray over two fellow county law enforcement veterans, Michael Barletta and Edwin Brock. Audience members applauded after the announcement. “Congratulations Mr. Ray,” said Nathan Fletcher, board chairman. “Welcome to the sheriff’s role.”
“While all candidates were well-qualified this was the most seamless transition, until the voters choose their next sheriff,” Desmond added. During a public comment period, social justice activists proposed that the state take over running county jails. A recent state audit of in- custody fatalities at the county’s jails criticized the Sheriff’s Department’s safety record, which recorded 185 deaths between 2006 and 2020 in the seven detention centers it oversees, among the highest totals in the state.
