In his press conference, Villanueva pointed to a 94% increase in homicides over the last two years, saying policies like zero bail contribute to that statistic, as well as a hiring freeze put on the sheriff's department by the Board of Supervisors
At a Wednesday press conference, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva reported that homicides are up 94% over the last two years and car thefts are up by more than 50%, as well speaking on a number of other issues he said are affecting the department.Villanueva didn’t hold back when it came to criticizing his favorite targets, District Attorney George Gascón and the LA County Board of Supervisors.
“They need to knock off all the virtue signaling that’s going on over there and start doing hard decisions based on facts that are going to make the community safer,” Villanueva said. “They’ll hire librarians. They’ll hire clerks in all the other county departments, but they don’t want to allow us to hire deputy sheriffs,” he said.As for his thoughts on Gascón, Villanueva said the DA’s office simply takes too long with deputy-involved shooting investigations. He also pointed to the glaring two-year increase in homicides, none of which he held himself accountable for.
