Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Wednesday that the names of deputies who shoot civilians will be released within 30 days of the incident, reversing a longtime practice.

The move follows a push by relatives of people shot by deputies. Some have long complained that months or years may go by before they learn who killed their loved one.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Villanueva’s change of course also comes after The Times found that his department was an outlier among some of California’s largest law enforcement agencies, which readily identify officers involved in shootings.

latimes.com/california/sto…
On Tuesday, the county’s Board of Supervisors had directed its lawyers to draft an ordinance requiring the publication of deputies’ identities within 48 hours of a shooting.

On Wednesday during a Facebook livestream, Villanueva announced the 30-day window, saying it will give investigators time to evaluate whether a threat exists against the deputy.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The Times report, which ran online May 6, found no shootings between 2018 and 2020 in which the Sheriff’s Department released the names of deputies on its own accord.

Clarification: Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Wednesday that the names of deputies who shoot civilians will be released 30 days after the incident.

Feeling unhappy about the prospect of going back to the office five days a week? You’re not alone.

And nearly half of those polled said that if they had to return, they would prefer a hybrid arrangement. latimes.com/business/story…
Some of the biggest names in business are feeling the pushback.

Google, for instance, backtracked from an announcement that all employees would be required to be back in their offices three days a week. latimes.com/business/story…

After their loved ones died in the Lion Air Flight 610 crash off the Indonesian coast, Tom Girardi said he could win them millions from Boeing. And he did.

But the Indonesian widows and orphans who hired him to work on their behalf never got the money.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Girardi is now accused in a federal lawsuit of using at least $3 million meant for victims families to underwrite “a public image of obscene wealth” for himself and his wife and star of 'Real Housewives' Erika Jayne. latimes.com/california/sto…
“This is rightfully ours, not Girardi’s,” said Septiana Damayanti, whose husband died in the Lion Air crash, leaving her to raise their two daughters, ages 5 and 3.
