“The demands placed on law enforcement in 21st Century policing require new strategies, greater resources and legislative support.

This is why I am honored to represent the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and serve as Vice President of the Major County Sheriffs of America.” Sheriff Jim McDonnell, Los Angeles, California
