PPOA, together with our brothers and sisters at ALADS, filed a complaint on May 19, 2023 with the Los Angeles County Employee Relations Commission (ERCOM) against the County of Los Angeles. This complaint seeks to protect our members from any attempts by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) and/or the Civilian Oversight Commission to violate our members’ fundamental constitutional rights during their investigation of “Deputy Gangs.” This filing, together with the prior success on the challenge of Measure R (which had the effect of suspending the OIG’s attempts to subpoena our members to testify) confirms PPOA’s ongoing and relentless pursuit to assure our members all the appropriate protections under the law. PPOA will continue to update the membership as this issue develops.
