TL;DR — Holding L.A. Countys Sheriff Accountable ACLU of Southern California 2022-07-20 | Take action: http://checkthesheriff.com/actionNo matter what office, function or role, our public officials take an oath to support and respect our rights, not inflict harm, and represent the common good and the public — and when we say public, we mean all of us. But in Los Angeles County, when a sheriff breaches this oath and abuses their power, our tools for real and meaningful accountability are tragically far and few. For decades, Angelenos have witnessed a culture of corruption and impunity in the sheriff's department, leaving people who are stopped or incarcerated at risk of abuse or worse. This culture of violence comes from the very top and is left unchecked by our dated charter — our county's constitution. We need a charter that works for the people of Los Angeles today and tomorrow, and that gives us the tools necessary for when a sheriff violates the law and the public trust. The Check the Sheriff coalition and more than 100 community and labor organizations are urging the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to bring about an L.A. County Charter amendment for common sense checks and balances, public trust and sheriff accountability.
