L.A. County Sheriff’s Department among Forbes’ top 500 employers

by City News Service • May 4, 2018

LOS ANGELES –  Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials Friday touted the department’s inclusion on Forbes Magazine’s list of the country’s top 500 employers.

The department placed 363rd among 500 companies or institutions ranked, and was the only law enforcement agency in America to make the list.

“I am very proud of the direction our organization is headed. This ranking is further validation of the hard work all our LASD employees are investing each day to make our department among the best in America,” Sheriff Jim McDonnell said.

Forbes employed the market research company Statista to survey 30,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees. The respondents were asked to rate how likely they’d be to recommend their employer to others.

Other local government agencies that made the list were Los Angeles County, which took the 133rd spot, Orange County at 185 and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, which placed 229th.

Among private-sector companies on the list, the highest-ranking Southern California company was Trader Joe’s, headquartered in Monrovia, which placed second overall behind Michelin Group. Google was third.

    I LOVE working for the LASD. We are not perfect –no place is. The fact is that many employees here are HAPPY that we are serving the community. This is the first time in years that I have heard good news about my Department, and I am so happy that the truth is finally out there.
