The Board of Supervisors has appointed London McBride to the Los Angeles County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission. He will assume the seat vacated in March 2025 by former Commissioner Sean Kennedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy work is grounded in the belief that every person deserves dignity, voice, and the chance to thrive,\u201d Commissioner McBride said. \u201cI look forward to being a part of the Commission\u2019s efforts to ensure constitutional policing by the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commissioner McBride\u2019s career spans more than 25 years in law enforcement and community engagement, faculty roles in higher education, pastoral leadership, and service on multiple equity and human relations committees.<\/p>\n

A human-centered educator, mentor, and leader, Commissioner McBride is committed to helping people and communities grow through justice, compassion, and trauma-informed practice. His work focuses on the intersection of education, community engagement, equity leadership, and holistic safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommissioner McBride will bring unique expertise and insight to the Commission, which already includes highly accomplished individuals from the law enforcement, legal, academic, advocacy, technology, social work, and other fields,\u201d Commission Chair Hans Johnson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommissioner McBride has spent decades training officers, college students, healthcare workers, and organizational leaders in procedural justice, bias awareness, de-escalation, and community-centered safety,” Chair Johnson added. “His experience is invaluable as the Commission strives to improve how the Sheriff\u2019s Department interacts with diverse communities across LA County.\u201d<\/p>\n

Celebrating its 10th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary this year, the Commission consists of nine civilian LA County residents who are appointed by the Board and serve the Commission in a volunteer capacity.<\/p>\n

Five Commissioners \u2013\u00a0Hans Johnson<\/a>,\u00a0Jamon Hicks<\/a>,\u00a0Patricia Giggans<\/a>,\u00a0James P.
