The California department of justice has launched a civil rights investigation into the embattled Los Angeles county sheriff’s department (LASD), which has faced national scrutiny over killings and misconduct scandals, to determine whether it has engaged in a pattern of unconstitutional policing.
The investigation of the largest sheriff’s department in the US was announced by the state’s attorney general, Xavier Becerra, on Friday.
The DoJ did not identify specific cases, but said the inquiry follows allegations of excessive force, retaliation, misconduct and other incidents involving LASD management and personnel.
