June 26th Commission Meeting
The Los Angeles County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission will hold its next meeting on June 26th, 2025, from 9am to 1pm.
Survey of Community Members Experiences with LASD Deputy Gangs and Deputy Cliques
The Los Angeles County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission (Commission) is asking for public input related to community members experience with Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) deputy gangs and deputy cliques. This survey will be open for public input through July 15, 2025. The survey is available at:
In February 2023, the Commission developed 27 recommendations to eradicate deputy gangs and deputy cliques. On March 7, 2023, the Board of Supervisors (Board) adopted agenda item #55-B with the 27 recommendations from the Commission regarding deputy gangs and deputy cliques in the LASD. After discussion, the Board directed the Commission to report back to the Board with qualitative data received from community members who shared their experiences with deputy gangs.
The Commission will use the survey to learn about community members’ first-hand experiences with alleged deputy gangs and develop qualitative data to report to the Board of Supervisors. The survey will also be used to determine whether LASD has been responsive to community members' complaints about deputy gangs.
Aside from the survey, the Commission will collect feedback through a virtual Community Listening Session on July 10, 2025.
