In a major reversal, Villanueva said Wednesday, May 19, 2021, that the names of deputies who shoot civilians will be released within 30 days of the incident, a newspaper reported. Villanueva's policy switch comes after the Los Angeles Times found that the LA sheriff's department was an outlier among some of California's largest law enforcement agencies, which promptly identify officers involved in shootings.
