Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger issued the following statement in response to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department plan to deploy a multitude of public safety resources in light of the various shootings that took place in the city of Lancaster earlier this week:
“I appreciate Sheriff Robert Luna’s decision to take immediate action and send a surge of specialized law enforcement teams to prevent additional violence and keep the community safe.
I am also glad that Mayor R. Rex Parris has stated that our Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has heard Lancaster’s concerns. Collaboration is key to solving problems and working on behalf of our shared constituents. Together, we are sending a clear message to the community: the law will be enforced and upheld. Keeping the public safe is collectively our top priority.”
