Sheriff’s Department rolls out new vehicles

L.A. COUNTY Sheriff Robert Luna with one of his department's new vehicles.

At a news conference at the Hall of Justice in downtown L.A., Luna said the aim is to eventually phase out the department's older vehicles, enhancing the safety of deputies and community members while reducing the impact on the environment and spending on maintenance and repairs.

Luna has made modernizing the fleet a priority. More than 1,100 of the department’s nearly 2,000 vehicles have been on the road for eight years or more, including about 700 that have surpassed the 100,000-mile mark.
