Language Access
The Mission of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is to partner with the community to proactively prevent crime, enforce the law fairly and enhance the public’s trust through transparency and accountability. Our unwavering commitment to serving the diverse communities of Los Angeles County includes working to remove barriers to effective communication for speakers of languages other than English. Providing equitable language access will help improve life outcomes for all County residents.
The Language Access Workgroup is comprised of both sworn and civilian personnel, and can be reached at [email protected].
