Facing long-standing allegations of “appalling” conditions inside the county’s jails and violent deputy “gangs” operating on its streets, Sheriff Robert Luna announced a new office designed to combat those problems

The new office, Luna said, could “help protect taxpayers” from such costly litigation in the future by making sure the department doesn’t run afoul of legal agreements or violate people’s rights.

“The prior constitutional policing advisors were not as engaged in the oversight of all the consent decrees, court settlement agreements that have come into play in the last few years,” Decker said. Ultimately, she said, the goal is to get the department out from the consent decrees.To do that, Decker and her team of investigators, lawyers and auditors will evaluate policies, practices, training and methods of accountability. Her role will not be simply advisory, officials said.

“Our past sheriffs undervalued constitutional policing to the detriment of so many struggling communities that LASD is supposed to serve,” he told The Times. “I am glad Sheriff Luna is trying to take a new path by instituting a full office of constitutional policing.” The announcement comes two days after a tense hearing in federal court over deadlines in yet another major lawsuit — this one filed by the U.S. Department of Justice over concerns about persistently bad mental health care in the jails.
