There is always a back story. Actually, of the approximately 110,000 L.A. County employees, 18,000 have not complied with the BOS vaccine mandate. Mother County recently changed the rules so only the CEO can hire employees and has halted hiring for Sheriff's Department (Defund the Police), thus a reduction in force (RIF) thru attrition. The BOS President, who was the Labor Secretary during the ObamaNation, decreed a mandate last August that all county employees be vaccinated. Since the county departments terminate their employees, the Sheriff announced he would not terminate his department members for choosing not to be vaccinated. Currently there are some 18,000 county employees that chose not to vaccinate of which 4,000 are Sheriff Department; 3,000 of us are sworn and 1,000 professional staff.
This past Tuesday the BOS voted 4-0 (1 abstention) to change the county rules to allow Mother County to terminate any county employee. So the BOS is trying to trump the Sheriff thru a power grab.
Just like the Rose Parade in Pasadena, the Sheriff''s Department is a major player in all activities at SoFi Stadium year around. When is the Superbowl? What are the odds?
YES. BOS has to go through the process to enable the policy first. If these burrocrats are able to grab the power after all of the lawsuits, then they have to adhere to the civil service and due process formalities. 18,000 county wide investigations could take a really long time not to mention some of them are surely the investigators. Dollars to donuts, 45 will be inaugurated before this even launches.
Hope and pray it plays out that way. Crime is pretty scary already, with emboldened scofflaws at every level, from murders and home invasions to shoplifting and car thefts, to increased red-light runners. The Sheriffs and a few local police departments are stretched thin.

It says "have begun the process of firing." Is this a long process? Will it drag out for months?
YES. BOS has to go through the process to enable the policy first.
