F1.7: F1.7: Recent positive change at LASD appears to have been primarily the result of external pressure, e.g., settlements, oversight, publicity, as opposed to internal evolution in organizational culture, which tends to change in concert with changes in personnel and leadership.

F1.9: F1.9: The absence of daycare services provided at the STARS Academy for Deputy Sheriff Trainees with children is an additional barrier to competitive recruitment and the successful completion of the training.
