All LA County branches said that Sheriff Alex Villanueva has failed because of his lack of leadership.
All 14 branches of the NAACP in Los Angeles County have given Sheriff Alex Villanueva a failing grade.
The branches said the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has failed to address many issues affecting Black communities under its jurisdiction. The NAACP claims that the sheriff, who is running for re-election, has failed to address the gang violence affecting many African Americans and has failed to support Black residents trying to file incident reports. The organization also claims that the LASD has shown a"lack of support or indifference" when Black residents report troubling behavior from deputies.
"Sheriff Villanueva's documented history of leadership is transparency, accountability, and inclusion speaks for itself," the campaign's statement said."The sheriff is disappointed the leadership of the NAACP has chosen to sullen the rich history of their organization with baseless and misleading attacks the week before the General Election."
