Priorities
The budget for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is approximately $4 billion dollars. I want to know that taxpayer money is being spent properly. To this end, I would immediately order a full audit be conducted to determine where every dollar is being spent. Only after a full accounting can the department sensibly allocate available resources and request additional funding, if required, to complete the lawful responsibilities of the LASD.
Law enforcement, by its very nature, is a dangerous and ofttimes unforgiving profession. Deputies today face a litany of circumstances on a daily basis. Cops need to be able to act and react in making split-second decisions without hesitation. They witness people at their best, and their worst. The latter of which can lead to incredible stress. The department owes them to provide the best, most modern and successful employee support services available.
The primary purpose of any law enforcement agency is to ENFORCE THE LAW, without prejudice and without favor. Honest, ethical enforcement of the law, all of the time. This includes not only patrol deputies working the streets, but also our detectives working in every aspect of our criminal justice system. The same concept is also true for the custody operations of the department. People in the system should be provided with educational and vocational training while in custody.
It is imperative that law enforcement interact openly and cooperatively with all of our partners, including other law enforcement agencies, community partners, and members of the public. This is the surest way to ensure buy-in and understanding of what is trying to be accomplished. People need to feel safe and secure in going about their daily lives. This is one way of helping to ensure that safety and security.
