Santa Clara County’s Equal Opportunity Division was investigating inappropriate and demeaning workplace comments allegedly made by Moises Reyes, Chief Investigator for the District Attorney’s office.
A branch of the County Counsel’s Office, EOD is the department tasked with administering the complaint process for alleged protected-class discrimination, harassment and retaliation involving county employees.
“When I was hired at the District Attorney’s Office [Bureau of Investigation], I was excited to continue my career at one of the most respected law enforcement agencies in the Bay Area,” one of those sources said. “I never expected to experience the bullying, gender discrimination and hostility that has occurred and continues to occur within the Bureau.”
Among EOD’s findings were three sustained accusations that Reyes denigrated women or working mothers, including some in his own office, according to the source with direct knowledge of the investigation. The sustained accusation had alleged that while the promotional board was discussing the candidate’s performance, Reyes reportedly remarked that she had only been given a previous assignment with the San Jose Police Department’s homicide division because she got pregnant.
“The insidious and inflammatory comments against women are not just being made in casual situations,” one source said. “Reyes makes his discriminative opinion known in formal settings such as promotional board exams and official command staff meetings.”
