Good morning L.A. ☀️ Here's what you need to know today.
My colleague, criminal justice reporter Emily Elena Dugdaleabout Luna, who spent 36 years in the Long Beach Police Department, including seven as its chief.
Now, with the election only a few weeks away, she wants to make sure you have all the information you need to make a decision on your ballot. And she’s starting with collecting your questions.What questions do you have about L.A. County Sheriff Candidate Robert Luna before you vote?I spoke with Emily about why she is seeking questions about Luna and why it’s so important to be thoroughly informed about both candidates.
But beyond that, we don’t know a lot about how he’d run the department. Would he be a reformer? Would he be comfortable with the status quo?I feel it's important to say that no candidate for sheriff is going to be immune from controversy, especially when you're dealing with large departments that have lesser degrees of surveillance and attention.
And also the system and protections around policing create environments where bad behavior goes unrecognized and can be obscured.The How to L.A. newsletter is sent mornings Monday through Friday.Is there anything else that I didn’t bring up that people should know?It can be really easy to get caught up in the headlines about crime, like: this person was shot, or this person was murdered.
So I hope through my reporting, and through helping answer these questions, people can see how deeply woven policing is into the fabric of our everyday lives.
