The city of Lancaster has sued Los Angeles County, claiming the Sheriff's Department is making over $10 million in illegal profits by overcharging for policing services, leaving Lancaster short-staffed and relying excessively on overtime.
Lancaster filed the suit as a proposed class-action on behalf of 42 county cities to address the alleged lack of deputies assigned despite payments, leading to increased overtime costs that the county isn't passing on as savings.
