Overview

• Cal/OSHA issued 13 citations totaling more than $150,000 to the City of Marysville tied to the March operation in which Officer Osmar Rodarte was killed.
• Marysville said it will appeal the penalties, with the mayor vowing to contest the findings related to the line-of-duty death.
• The Yuba County Sheriff's Office denounced the citations as unprecedented and unfounded, warning they set a troubling precedent for state oversight of police operations.
• The Yuba County district attorney announced last week that the officers were legally justified in using deadly force, releasing body camera footage from the raid.
• Some citations allege deficiencies in training and body armor fit; the DA said the vest was standard, and Cal/OSHA has not answered media questions about the basis for the fines.
