MY PRIORITIES
These priorities are the foundation for building a safer, stronger, and more effective Sheriff’s Department that serves and protects all residents of Los Angeles County.
- Defend and Support Our Law Enforcement Officers
- Modernization of the Sheriff’s Department
- Fiscal Responsibility and Smart Resource Allocation
Defend and Support Our Law Enforcement Officers
- Restore trust and confidence in department leadership.
- End the climate of fear: Deputies should not have to worry that minor mistakes could lead to severe discipline, nor should they feel betrayed by their own leadership.
- Stop political appeasement: I will stand firm against anti-law enforcement agendas and ensure deputies are supported, protected, and empowered to act proactively.
- Protect the community: When deputies are supported, communities benefit from effective policing, reduced crime, and safer neighborhoods.
Modernization of the Sheriff’s Department
- Embrace new technologies while safeguarding constitutional rights.
- Implement modern policing strategies: Invest in cutting-edge tools like drones, non-lethal weapons, synchronized data analytics, and upgraded communication systems to fight crime effectively.
- Upgrade equipment: Prioritize providing deputies with advanced patrol equipment, protective gear, and forensic technology to ensure their safety and efficiency in the field.
Fiscal Responsibility and Smart Resource Allocation
- Balance the budget: Eliminate wasteful contracts and mismanagement to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.
- Strengthen contract cities: Make sure cities receive the services and resources they pay for, without subsidizing departmental inefficiencies.
- Expand deputy numbers: Strategically allocate personnel and resources to deploy deputies where they are needed most, ensuring Los Angeles County has adequate law enforcement coverage.
