[edit] Editorial
I consider the below editorial/opinion that was posted on this page by another user:
"While there is no denying that the men and women of the Sheriff's Department have probably one of the most difficult tasks in Southern California law enforcement, they also enjoy a certain cachet amongst the less generously endowed strata of society. The poor, racial (Latino, Black, etc.) minorities, and sexual (gay, transgender) minorities in Los Angeles County have learned that, even if not involved in any form of wrongdoing whatsoever, a good place to be when an LASD Deputy appears is somewhere else. They have also learned to quietly any pay medical expenses resulting from such encounters, and that they need not complain concerning their treatment by the deputies."
I disagree, the LASD patrol's West Hollywood under contract, that could be cancelled. Instead the LASD has an outreach. This other stuff is editorial in nature and not something appropriate for the article. I have seen the LASD to be very concerned about the communities they patrol.

[edit] Past Sheriffs
Should the past Sheriffs (Peter J. Pitchess, Sherman Block, et. al.) be listed somewhere? --evrik (talk) 14:39, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
