Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti will formally announce his endorsement of Jim McDonnell for Los Angeles County Sheriff tomorrow at a press conference, according to McDonnell’s campaign office.

“Chief McDonnell and Mayor Garcetti have been long-time partners in reducing crime, increasing public safety in the region and advancing smarter approaches to policing, including investing in reducing crime by improving opportunities and protecting the most vulnerable, instituting strong management teams and practices, and focusing on results,” said Becca Doten of the Jim McDonnell for Sheriff Campaign office in a statement. “Mayor Garcetti believes Chief Jim McDonnell, based on his 29 years’ experience at the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and four years as Chief of Police in Long Beach, has the experience, credibility and judgment to lead the LASD forward.”

The support follows endorsements by the Peace Officers Research Organization of California, the Los Angeles Area Fire Chiefs Association and the California Police Chiefs Association, among others.

The announcement will occur tomorrow, September 9, at 1:00PM at Los Angeles City Hall.
