Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Personnel [ ] The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is the largest 's department and the fourth largest local policing agency in the. There are approximately 17,926 employees; over 9,972 sworn deputies and 7,954 non sworn members, (professional staff).
There are an additional 4,200 civilian volunteers, 791 reserve deputies and 400 explorers, on December 1, 2014, Jim McDonnell took the oath of office and was sworn in as the 32nd Los Angeles County Sheriff. LASD deputies provided law enforcement services to over three million residents in an area of 3,171 square miles (8,210 km 2) of the 4,083 square miles on the county, both in the County land and within the 42 contract cities. And LASD Metro patrol cars, side by side.
The LASD has gained an international reputation for its efforts in developing and integrating the latest law enforcement technologies, especially nonlethal weapons, because many developers, especially those developing technologies for the U.S. Department of Defense, have little idea of the needs of domestic law enforcement, the LASD provides experts to assist in the development and implementation of technologies that will be of service to law enforcement when fully mature; in the late 1990s, the LASD successfully implemented a county-wide sound recorder/meter system, ShotStopper, to detect loud noises. When dispatch has a call from a citizen reporting possible gunfire near their residence, these sound towers can pinpoint within about 25 to 30 feet (9.1 m) where the shots were coming from and record the sound for investigative purposes, and at the same time, relay the GPS info to HQ and deputies on the street. The system has been up and running for several years and has been responsible for numerous felony arrests. Currently, the LASD is working with the and local government officials to deploy their remote control aerial surveillance drone system, this would allow the Sheriff's Department to have real time imagery from the streets of Los Angeles to combat street violence and record crimes in progress, not to mention searching for missing hikers, 'patrolling' behind the surf zones of the beaches and looking for lost children. The drones are not intended to replace police helicopters, but in specific incidents could be better, cheaper and quieter to use.
Starting in 2009, LASD began leasing electric-powered cars for $10 a month each; in exchange, Mini Cooper's parent company,, requested feedback about the cars. One of the cars is currently being used at the Sheriff Substation. The LASD hired the first female deputy sheriff in the United States in 1912. Remained a deputy in the evidence department at the Los Angeles Courthouse for 35 years, until her retirement in 1947. Special Weapons Teams [ ] The Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) is the LASD's equivalent of a team, which was originally a creation of the nearby during the 1960s.
LASD SEB and have helped the in the past by training,, and other military units on policing skills prior to being deployed overseas. [ ] Law enforcement agencies from across the nation and around the world often look to the LASD SEB and LAPD SWAT teams for training and advice, often sending experienced officers to train under both departments. In 1992, after the in Los Angeles, both the LAPD SWAT and LASD SEB teams decided to work on tactics that would rescue people from dangerous crowds, and at the same time provide a way to eliminate a threat, such as a gunman, without being noticed by a hostile crowd. [ ] In the first example, the idea was to have SWAT ride in one of the city's Air Rescue helicopter units with and paramedics to enter a scene, using SWAT as a threat to ground opposition while LAFD paramedics could safely drop in and pick up an injured person. [ ] In the second example, sharpshooters could be used at high altitudes in LASD air units to look for any potential threats on the ground, and at the same time neutralize any would-be killers. [ ] Air Rescue Program [ ]. The program is used for many emergencies in L.A.
County, most notably the wildfire-prone Angeles National Forest. Persons trapped in inaccessible areas are usually found and rescued by LASD Air Rescue, the LASD has multiple Sea King helicopters for this program. Towards the middle of 2012, LASD's Air Rescue 5 began replacing Sikorsky H-3 Sea Kings with 3 as primary rescue helicopters. In addition to having a fleet of three, the LASD also utilizes 14 helicopters and 3 Hughes/Schweizer 300 series helicopters. The is an airborne law enforcement program in which began in 1966, the unit operates using non-sworn pilots, employed by the city of Lakewood, partnered with a sworn deputy sheriff from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Lakewood station. The unit currently operates three Schweizer 300C helicopters, based at Long Beach airport and flies about 1,800 hours per year. Today, the Sky Knight program is completely integrated within the sheriff's tactical operations.
Five other cities (Artesia, Bellflower, Hawaiian Gardens, Paramount and Cerritos) contract with Lakewood to participate in the Sky Knight program, these five cities also contract with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for police services. Contract law enforcement [ ] Cities [ ] The LASD has entered into contracts with the numerous cities to serve as their police department/law enforcement agency. Forty-two (42) of the eighty-eight (88) cities in Los Angeles County contract with the Sheriff's Department for their complete municipal law enforcement services.
Some of the newer contract cities like and have never had police departments. When their city governments were founded, they took over what was formerly unincorporated land, and then contracted their police responsibilities to the county sheriff, since the department had substations in those areas, the result was to maintain the status quo. [ ] In contrast,, once had a; in 2000, the city council voted to dismantle the troubled police department and contract for police services. Compton has been at times notorious for violence, especially during its recent history.
Other agencies [ ] LASD provides dispatch services by contract to * for state parole officers. The services are provided by LASD County Services Bureau dispatchers.
