POLICE REFORM LEGISLATION – AB 958
October 1, 2021
Yesterday, AB 958 was signed into law! I am proud to be a sponsor of this legislation, which is based on the current Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department policy I implemented in February 2020.
Our current Department policy is consistent with this new law and is already being enforced. This law will serve to foster organizational change and hold employees to a higher standard of conduct. We must remain hyper vigilant that benign subgroups do not devolve into cliques that may dishonor the badge.
I thank Assemblymember Mike Gipson for championing this legislation and Governor Gavin Newsom for signing it into law.
