LOS ANGELES — During his swearing-in ceremony Saturday, Sheriff Robert Luna vowed to lead with a spirit of integrity, accountability and collaboration, eager to mark a new era for the department following four years under the leadership of his controversial predecessor.
“I want to thank the voters of Los Angeles County for electing me as the 34th sheriff,” he told the crowd, “and entrusting me with a very clear mandate to bring new leadership and accountability.”
Because the Saturday ceremony at the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration was something of a formality, Luna will officially take office at noon Monday, replacing Alex Villanueva.
