Sheriff’s Department also proposes a new committee to review use-of-force incidents to reduce the number of inmate head strikes.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials are exploring the use of body cameras in the jails in response to complaints of excessive force on inmates.
Dugdale said Sheriff Robert Luna fully supports the proposed changes. “He is interested in doing things the right way and following the law,” he said. Eliasberg also asked that the Sheriff’s Department adopt a “zero-tolerance” policy for deputies who lie about using excessive force on inmates or fail to report it and supervisors who turn a blind eye to the abuses.
“That’s how you get a culture change, not by saying things will get better because Sheriff Luna is in charge,” he told the court.
