DEPARTMENTAL CONTEXT
Findings should be interpreted alongside context about the demographics of local residents, the demographics of sworn officers, and the department’s work toward racial equity.
RESIDENT DEMOGRAPHICS
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Lakewood Station deputies do not patrol certain areas of the county that are patrolled by other LASD stations. Therefore, this assessment only includes resident demographic data from areas of Los Angeles County that are patrolled by Lakewood Station deputies.
The resident population included in this assessment is 55% Latinx, 17% White, 15% Asian and Pacific Islander, 9% Black, 3 % Multiple Racial Groups, and less than 1% Other. The total population of Lakewood Station’s patrol area is 240,732.
Lakewood Station deputies patrol an area that includes multiple towns and unincorporated areas, and the boundaries of this patrol area do not perfectly align with the boundaries of Census tracts. Resident demographic data for the Station’s patrol area were therefore not readily available from the Census Bureau, so this assessment uses resident demographic data provided by Los Angeles County’s Internal Services Department.
