He is a law enforcement veteran who served 25 years in the department, retiring in 2013. and has two master’s degrees says if LA County voters elect him as Sheriff, he will get rid of deputy gangs, provide complete transparency, and change the culture of policing.
"I really believe that it's now time to change the culture. And you can do that by putting a woman in office, a female in office," said Captain Britta Steinbrenner. Steinbrenner is the only candidate who's listed environmental issues on their platform. Steinbrenner says she wants to implement solar power, hybrid/electric vehicles, water reclamation, and water conservation initiatives to help the department reduce its carbon footprint.
As a black man who has faced adversity, Strong says he brings a unique understanding to this position. "That's an understanding, from personal experience, having been profiled by law enforcement, having been roughed-up by law enforcement, having family members that have suffered from addiction, been incarcerated and victims of violent crime, I am bringing a 360-degree perspective towards what’s needed," says Strong.
