ALBERT SCHWEITZER H O N O R E E 2017 Sheriff Jim McDonnell Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department Sheriff Jim McDonnell was sworn in as the 32nd Sheriff of Los Angeles County on December 1, Sheriff McDonnell is a Boston native who grew up in a working class neighborhood, a stone s throw from Fenway Park. He came to Los Angeles over three decades ago with little more than a dream to be part of protecting and serving the public. He was born to immigrant parents who instilled in him the values that have served as the guideposts throughout his life: hard work, integrity, and treating all people with respect. He began his law enforcement career in 1981 as a twenty-two-year-old graduate from the Los Angeles Police Academy. Sheriff McDonnell served for 29 years at the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), holding every rank from Police Officer to second-in-command. While at the LAPD, he earned that Department s highest honor for bravery, the Medal of Valor, and helped create the blueprint for LAPD s community-based policing efforts that have now become a model for law enforcement agencies throughout the nation. For five years, Sheriff McDonnell served as the Chief of the Long Beach Police Department. In that role, he implemented numerous improvements that resulted in safer communities, increased morale, and enhanced community relations. Sheriff McDonnell draws from his experience at the Los Angeles Police Department and the Long Beach Police Department to lead the largest Sheriff s Department in the world. The Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department (LASD) provides police services for more than ten million residents throughout a geographic area of 4,751 square miles, roughly the size of Connecticut. The Los Angeles Sheriff s Department also maintains the largest jail system in the nation, housing more than 17,000 inmates daily. The Department s Court Services Division monitors the largest court system in the nation, encompassing 37 Superior Courts. Through Sheriff McDonnell s reformative direction, the Los Angeles Sheriff s Department is now well on its way to accomplishing a number of long-term projects and goals, including the successful completion of consent decrees and settlement agreements with the Department of Justice. Sheriff McDonnell brings to the LASD decades of experience and strong relationships with law enforcement and government leaders. He is a proven and respected voice in local, state, and national criminal justice organizations, having served as President of the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs' Association, President of the California Peace Officers' Association, a member of the California Commission on Peace Officers' Standards & Training (POST), and a board member of the Peace Officers' Association of Los Angeles County. Sheriff McDonnell is also a believer in the importance of education, both in the classroom and on the job. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire and a Master s Degree in Public Administration from the University of Southern California. He is also a graduate of the Federal Bureau of Investigation s National Executive Institute and has completed executive education programs at Harvard s Kennedy School of Government.

Because of her work with First Position, Emmah has been recognized as a recipient of the Red Cross Spirit of the Hero Award as well as by a local American Red Cross chapter as the Youth Good Samaritan Hero, among others.
