LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A senior member of the Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department s leadership ranks has announced his intention to run against Sheriff Alex Villanueva in 2022.
Eliezer Vera is chief of the department s Technology and Support Division, and has been with the LASD since 1988.
He criticized Villanueva for how the sheriff has handled disagreements since his election in 2018.
“I believe as law enforcement officers our mission is to bring calmness and civility and peace to very difficult situations. And what we ve witnessed from the current sheriff is someone that when someone disagrees with him, we see nothing but utter disdain and contempt, Vera said as he announced his candidacy Wednesday morning in Grand Park, surrounded by his wife, children, mother and grandchildren.
A man who tested positive to COVID-19 after unwittingly entering the green zone at Brisbane International Airport is posing less and less of a risk to the community, authorities say.
Two passengers from Papua New Guinea (PNG) travelling on a red flight, who had initially both tested negative, were accidentally allowed to wander into the green zone at the airport for around two hours from 9.30am on Thursday.
One man was later revealed to be positive to COVID-19, sparking fears he could have exposed hundreds of passengers to the virus, however Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeanette Young today said authorities the risk of an outbreak was very low .
I believe as law enforcement officers our mission is to bring calmness and civility and peace to very difficult situations. And what we ve witnessed from the current sheriff is someone that when someone disagrees with him, we see nothing but utter disdain and contempt, Vera said as he announced his candidacy Wednesday morning in Grand Park, surrounded by his wife, children, mother and grandchildren. I believe an organization is as a reflection of its leader. The community looks to law enforcement to be the voice of reason during its worst of times. Unfortunately, at the present time, the Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department has developed a reputation for contributing to contention during trying times, Vera said in a statement issued later Wednesday.
