S1: Frustration grows over failures to change Trump era immigration policies and what the loss of can cinema means for the film community. That's ahead on Midday Edition. Last year ended with wet and stormy weather and now it is following us into 2023. San Diego's most recent storm arrived late last night , bringing more rain and high winds to the region with another storm forecasted to hit Thursday. Despite the ongoing gloomy skies , San Diego has been spared the worst of the recent wet weather. Northern California saw near record amounts of rain last week and is bracing for more this week. And California's Sierra snowpack levels have reached heights not seen in over a decade , with more snowfall expected as well. Joining me is Alex tardy warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service here in San Diego. Alex , welcome back to the show.
S2: New Year's Eve was a soaker for the San Diego region and most of California. We're now right around average or the San Diego region. And parts of San Diego County are above average for what we call the water year , which starts on October one each year. So this is great news. To our north , it's been even wetter. And central California is above average , some places two times as much as they should be this time of year. So this is a remarkable start to the water year after. You know , we've been suffering almost three years of drought.
S2: So December turned out to be wet , as we talked about and what we're looking at for January , especially the next two weeks. We're looking at a lot of rain for California. So in San Diego area , we're talking in the next ten days , another two or three inches of rain for our mountains. You could double that easily in San Diego County. It's going to come in pieces. The first significant storm will be this Thursday. Well , we'll see a lot of high wind and heavy rain even in the San Diego area on Thursday. And then it's going to come again over the weekend , Sunday , Monday. And we could be talking over the next ten days , four or five different types of storms , including the rain we're seeing today in San Diego. So it's all going to add up to significant rainfall in January and really put us in a situation where we're much above average for the water year , which is great news because that means we'll make progress on the drought and in northern California. Keep in mind , this is the epicenter of the rain. It's right into central California where they're just going to see tremendous amounts of rain on top of what they've already seen in December. San Francisco , for example , had five and a half inches of rain , which was near a record. Just on New Year's Eve. So we're talking additional rainfall in that range over the next ten days.
S2: So this weather system or this series of weather system extends all the way into the western Pacific. So across the central Pacific , north of Hawaii and all the way into California , it's a weather pattern that is something we haven't seen since 2019. Now , will it add up to amounts that are more than 2018 , 2019 ? Remains to be seen. You mentioned the record snowpack in the Sierra Nevada. So the snow has been tremendous with the storms in early December and the most recent storms in our feet of snow much above average. Ultimately , what we need to see is the whole state being much above average. We're not there yet , but with this series of storms coming up , it's going to put us back to really where we should be and hopefully we can continue that in February and March. Unfortunately , though , when this rain comes so intense and affects the entire state of California , the result can be flooding , which we saw on New Year's Eve , even in San Diego. So we want the rain , but it is a little bit too much at once. Hmm.
S2: Some of the reservoirs in Sacramento area , for example , are receiving tremendous amount of water and they're now higher than they were this time last year. We got to keep that going. And it looks like based on the forecast , we will.
S2: Now it's , you know , one and a half to two times higher than average for this time of the year. And especially when we're talking about snowpack above 7000 feet. So the mountains in the Sierra Nevada , like Mammoth Mountain , for example , we're talking two times as much average snowpack. And that snowpack will sit there for a long time. So that's all good news and we'll factor that into the water supply. And that's why when you start getting a series of storms like this , it's a management challenge. How much water to keep , how much to let go , because you also have to account for that snow sitting up above 7000 feet. Our big reservoirs like Shasta and Oroville in California , have a long ways to go , but we are rapidly making progress on getting those back to where they should be.
S2: I think we should treat them as individual storms like the New Year's Eve storm or even the 85 degree weather we saw Christmas Day in San Diego. Individual storms , individual events. But what is a little bit concerning for sure is the three years of drought and then now a situation where we're pushing the envelope and talking about potential for additional flooding and excessive rainfall in in much of California. You know , when you look at three , four or five years and you see those extremes , yeah , that that could be related to some climate change , especially when you factor in our record Hot summers , our incredible active fire season and 20 , 20 , 2021. I think if you look at as a group or a collection of events , it's more a signal of some of the climate change we might be seeing rather than just one individual event , even if it's a spectacular event.
S1: Last year , KPBS detailed incidents of police discrimination and sexual harassment under a new state law. Senate Bill 16. But the San Diego Police Department hadn't released most of their sealed records until just last week. And while some hailed the new law as a critical step towards local police reform , others worry about the effectiveness of a measure that would see police officers investigating fellow police. Joining me now with more is San Diego Union-Tribune reporter Lindsey Weakly. Lindsey , welcome back.
S3: Senate Bill 16 was actually passed about a year ago. And what it does is it builds on another landmark bill , which is Senate Bill 1421. And it makes a new batch of previously secret police records public. So the ones that are now releasable include when peace officers make unlawful arrests or searches when they use unreasonable or excessive force , when they fail to intervene , when another officer uses unreasonable or excessive force , or if they practice a variety of forms of discrimination , not just against members of the public , but to their colleagues.
S3: So the Diego Police Department is one of the largest police agencies in the county. And so there are a lot more cases of misconduct when compared to other law enforcement agencies , but that's predominantly because of their size. The amount of records that were released recently was large. It was more than 80. And some of these cases go back decades. You know , I think one of the interesting things about San Diego police departments release is that their retention period is actually a lot longer than most law enforcement agencies. They keep their files for their police officers their entire career plus three years. So some of these cases are pretty old and that's pretty unique in sort of the law enforcement landscape.
S3: So this was one of the more recent incidents , actually. And we do sort of lead off with this incident. Essentially , a police sergeant was supervising a search of a business and the Osorio neighborhood and an officer was putting a Latino woman in handcuffs and he sort of steps in front of a police dog during this process. And the sergeant , according to these police records , says you're going to get bids. And then he follows that up with. But the dog only likes dark meat. It was actually another acting sergeant who reported that comment. And after an internal affairs investigation , it was found that that sergeant had committed racial discrimination and he was disciplined.
S3: So we still have a fair bit to move through. I mean , these investigations are lengthy. Many of them are dozens of pages in total. There were thousands of pages of internal investigations. There are videos , there's audio. But from what we have gleaned so far , it's sort of all over the place. The one that I would say is we didn't see very often is the failure to intervene when another officer uses unreasonable or excessive force. However , that's mostly because those policies are actually relatively new for a lot of local police departments. We didn't really see those be codified until after the death of George Floyd.
S3: You know , if communities are going to trust the police departments that serve them , they need to feel confident that those police departments have the capability to police their own. And making these records public really is a step in the right direction as far as communicating to the public that , hey , we are we are watching ourselves , we are making sure that any allegations of misconduct are being investigated thoroughly. However , as you likely know , there are some criticisms to this law and the previous landmark bill , SB 1421.
S3: So I think one of the primary criticisms that we. Here with these laws is that these especially with SB 16 , none of these documents can be released unless a department itself finds that the allegation is sustained or true. And a lot of people have an issue with that because they argue that police departments investigating themselves isn't necessarily the most unbiased thing. And now this goes so far as to say that even if some other body finds that an officer has committed this particular behavior , unless the department itself finds it , those files don't need to be released. So I'll give you an example. Say an officer is accused of committing discrimination. The police department does an investigation and finds. Nope , that is not sustained. We're exonerating that officer. Then a court case gets filed and a judge a jury finds that that officer did , in fact , commit racial discrimination. Now , while the court records themselves would be public , the initial investigation would not be because that officer and its department did not sustain the initial allegation.
