SHERIFF JIM McDONNELL HONORS

LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT HEROES

Sheriff Jim McDonnell along with Assistant Sheriff Todd Rogers hosted the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Life Saving Award Ceremony.

On Thursday, May 19, 2016, thirty-one department members were publicly recognized by Sheriff McDonnell for their courageous engagements. The Sheriff’s Lifesaving Award is presented to deputy sheriff’s, as well as reserve deputies, whose actions resulted in the saving or preservation of a human life, which would have been lost but for the brave intervention of deputy personnel.
