Robert Luna is sworn in as the 34th Los Angeles County Sheriff. During the ceremony Luna emphasized the need to defend good policing, while at the same time acknowledging the department's responsibility to call out bad policing
Los Angeles County has a new sheriff, starting Monday, Dec. 5. Former Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna was sworn in today as the 34th L.A. County Sheriff., holding a 20-percentage-point lead in the vote count until Villanueva conceded the race.
"I want to thank the voters of Los Angeles County for electing me as the 34th Sheriff and entrusting me with a very clear mandate to bring new leadership and accountability to our Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department," said Luna after officially taking the department oath today. "Our first job will always be to keep the community safe. This year violent crime went up 15 percent and property crime was up 13 percent in areas we patrol. To reverse this trend, we must look at the data and double down on what works and change what doesn't work," said Luna.
