- An LA County sheriff oversight panel now has subpoena power. So why hasn't it been able to use it?
L.A. County's Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission, granted subpoena power via 2020's Measure R, faces delays in exercising it due to state labor law requiring negotiations with the sheriff’s deputies' union. The commission seeks access to case files, including a 2023 incident where a deputy pleaded guilty to beating a transgender man.
