Tonight, I had the immense honor in swearing in the newest LASD Academy Class 472. I commended them all in pursuing what I believe is one of the most noble professions in the world.

I reminded them all that their career in law enforcement will undoubtedly have its challenges, its tough days, its good times, and moments of great pride, satisfaction, and success.  With these daily emotions comes a bond—a bond with one another within LASD…and across all of law enforcement.

Each Police Officer and Deputy Sheriff will soon have the unique opportunity and privilege to keep our communities safe and help the people who need it the most in what could be their darkest hour where we will be the light.

Congratulations to each and everyone of you, and I wish you all the best of luck in your careers moving forward.
