Oversight panel to investigate alleged deputy gangs in Sheriff’s Department
The civilian commission charged with oversight of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department announced Thursday, March 24, it will undertake a “full-scale investigation” into alleged deputy gangs operating within the agency.
The news comes days after the county’s inspector general, Max Huntsman, reported that he had identified 41 deputies who allegedly belong to active gangs within the department — 11 belonging to the Banditos group at the East Los Angeles Station and 30 to the Executioners group at the Compton station. The Sheriff’s Department issued a statement this week attacking Huntsman’s report claiming to have identified dozens of internal gang members, calling it part of “his unhealthy obsession to attack the department” and insisting Huntsman “has failed to provide any actual evidence or new information.”
