When it mattered most, Sheriff Alex stepped up
Reduced the spread of COVID-19
During the COVID shutdown and pandemic Sheriff Alex protected us by raiding irresponsible ‘’super spreader’’ parties to slow the spread of the deadly COVID virus.
Zero Tolerance on Deputy Cliques
On his first day in office Sheriff Alex Villaneuva banned all deputy cliques and launched a deep investigation that resulted in dozens of transfers, suspensions, and even terminations.
Launched Operation Homebound
Sheriff Alex set up operation Homebound to take the COVID vaccine into the homes of those physically unable to leave their homes. Again, looking out for the rest of us.
Protection of Public Rights
When the political establishment refused to enforce laws protecting public space, property, and even laws against violence, sexual assault, and theft, Sheriff Alex stepped up and cleaned up The Venice Boardwalk, Olvera street, and more.
