Read the letter below for a more detailed history which demonstrates his unfitness to serve the people of Contra Costa as Sheriff. Those in positions of great power need to be open to accountability in order to maintain public trust. At almost every step, Livingston has thwarted attempts to make the operations of his Department more transparent and capable of being held to account. The question his actions beg: what is he hiding? We no longer want a Sheriff who prefers to play politics, rather than respect the humanity of the people he serves and fulfill the duty to protect. While we have an opportunity to vote him out in this June's election, we want him to resign before then. If he refuses, then we are calling on the Board of Supervisors to formally censure him. They are also elected officials who control the county budget and it is within their power to be more vocal and proactive in addressing an unfit Department head who they give hundreds of millions of dollars each year. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/contra-costa-sheriff-david-livingston-must-resign
