The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s implemented a “temporary fix” to get its dispatch system back online after it crashed on New Year’s Eve, authorities said.
The punishment for Rosa Gonzalez, now a deputy, came after she accused department officials of discrimination.
It’s not clear how long it will take to fix the problem, but in the meantime deputies and dispatchers must use radios instead of patrol car computers.
Midway through his first term as L.A. County sheriff, Robert Luna told The Times that speculation he might step down is ‘not true.’
A 25-year sheriff’s deputy was arrested in Long Beach on suspicion of driving drunk and injuring a passenger in his vehicle.
Four years ago, the city of L.A. was a major stronghold for George Gascón, helping him oust then-Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey. Things were different this time around.
Attorneys for Rosa Ramirez say she was talking to a deputy outside her home last year when an off-leash patrol dog clamped down on her hand, permanently injuring her.
Will that change anything?
At least eight L.A. County Sheriff’s Department members have been sidelined amid a federal inquiry into an alleged coverup of a beating of a trans man, sources say.
The controversial — and now disbanded — Civil Rights and Public Integrity Detail was behind several of the high-profile probes during former Sheriff Alex Villanueva’s tenure, including investigations into a county supervisor and a Times reporter.
