In an apparent change of course from her sworn statements last year, Undersheriff April Tardy testified Tuesday there was no work slowdown led by deputy gangs at the Compton sheriff’s station in 2019.
Days after the county’s inspector general demanded that dozens of deputies reveal their alleged gang tattoos, employee unions filed a both labor complaint and a lawsuit.
After the county's watchdog ordered dozens of deputies to show their tattoos and answer questions about deputy gangs, Sheriff Robert Luna on Thursday directed his staff to cooperate with the inspector general's investigation.
