In 1988, a scandal erupted after a Los Angeles jailhouse informant demonstrated that he was able to engineer false confessions to murder from inmates he had never met before. The Los Angeles County Jail incarcerates about 200,000 individuals each year, and with such large numbers, the jail has faced numerous problems with its facilities. The Los Angeles County Women's Jail, known as the Century Regional Detention Facility or the Lynwood Jail, is located in Lynwood, California. The North County Correctional Facility (NCCF) is the largest of the four jail facilities located at the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, California. The Men's Central Jail (MCJ) and Twin Towers Correctional Facility (TTCF) are located in a dense cluster next the rail yard northeast of Union Station. The Los Angeles County Jail provides short-term incarceration services for the entire county, including Los Angeles, Glendale, Burbank, and Long Beach, all of which have their own police departments.

In November 2021, Villanueva said only 42% of LASD staff were vaccinated against COVID-19. The merger took place on June 30, 2010.ĭuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the LASD refused to enforce mask mandates. On December 15, 2009, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted 4–1 to merge the Los Angeles County Office of Public Safety into the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Neither force was deemed efficient and Los Angeles became known for its violence, gambling and "vice". They were soon succeeded by the Los Angeles City Guards, another volunteer group.
The all-volunteer, Los Angeles-specific Los Angeles Rangers were formed in 1853 to assist the LASD.
