A civilian oversight group will launch a formal investigation after reports that 41 LASD deputies allegedly belong to active gangs within the department.
The sheriff "remains committed to transparency and accountability," according to the statement, which notes that Villanueva implemented a policy banning "deputy cliques."
"To this date and our knowledge, we have not received any allegations of such," according to the agency. According to the Citizens Oversight Commission, its investigation will be carried out with a team of volunteer attorneys, and the panel "will use its full subpoena power" and gather testimony during regular monthly meetings. The probe will analyze "the continued existence and impact of deputy gangs and evaluate what is needed to eradicate them."
"The investigation will determine which stations deputy gangs currently operate out of, as well as the gangs' adverse effect on the community and the department itself," according to the commission. "The evaluation will assess the effectiveness of the department's existing policies as well as the commission's proposed policy that explicitly prohibits deputy gangs."
