L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna has created an Office of Constitutional Policing as he makes good on his promises to improve accountability and eradicate deputy gangs within the department.
Luna announced the new office on Wednesday and appointed a former federal prosecutor as its director.
Luna tapped Eileen Decker to head the new unit, who was the U.S. attorney for the Central District of California from 2015 to 2017. She recently was a member of the Los Angeles Police Commission, the civilian board that oversees the LA Police Department. Decker also was a deputy LA mayor for homeland security and public safety.
Wednesday's announcement comes after the Luna disbanded the department's controversial public integrity detail, which had investigated outspoken critics of former Sheriff Alex Villanueva such as L.A. County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl.He vowed to usher in an era of integrity and collaboration after his predecessor's tenure was marked by clashes with other public officials and allegations that deputy gangs ran amok within the agency.
