HAPPENING TODAY: Former Long Beach police Chief Robert Luna will be sworn in as Los Angeles County's next sheriff.
Former Long Beach police Chief Robert Luna will be sworn in Saturday as Los Angeles County's next sheriff, capping a hard-fought campaign that led to the ouster of incumbent Alex Villanueva.
"I'm deeply honored and humbled that you have elected me as your sheriff,'' Luna said when he proclaimed victory in the race. "With your vote, you have entrusted me with a clear mandate to bring new leadership and accountability to the sheriff's department. And that's exactly what I will do.'' Luna recently vowed to uphold the promises he made on the campaign trail during his first address as sheriff-elect of L.A. County.
"One, fight crime," Luna said, while listing his priorities. "Repair relationships with our community and across the board, address homelessness, modernize the department and improve employee wellness. A lot of this is what I talked about during the campaign." "From the very beginning, I said that as your sheriff, I will cooperate with civilian oversight, I will comply with subpoenas," said Luna. "Public safety is about public trust."
