HMG-CN sat down with Robert “Bob” Lindsey recently, Lindsey is running against current Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell.
HMG: Give our readers your 30-second elevator speech:
RL: I am a proven leader with 40 years of accomplished experienced in our nation’s largest Sheriff’s Department. I have the established skills to lead the department’s 18,000 employees, manage a $3.2 billion dollar budget, and the practical solutions to combat violent crimes in the community and deal with the threats of terrorism in Los Angeles County.
HMG: What is your vision of the department?
RL: My vision and plan is to ensure responsible spending, direct and confront the increasing homelessness problem, and bring both community participation and transparency back to the Sheriff’s Department. I will lower crime by increasing patrols, fight against early prisoner release, eliminate irresponsible spending on wasteful political interest projects, and implement a concealed carry permit policy; those who are issued a permit must pass a comprehensive background investigation.
HMG: Expand on the community participation.
RL: I plan to pioneer multiple youth programs, revive Education Based Incarceration and job opportunity programs, and restore Community Advisory Committees, who’s members will directly communicate with the Sheriff on many urgent public safety issues.
HMG: Why are you best suited to lead?
RL: I feel I am well-respected throughout Los Angeles County with many community leaders and with the rank and file of the Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff’s Department. In a recent survey and poll conducted internally, over 93% of the Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff’s (ALADS) would like to see me as the next Los Angeles County Sheriff. In the internal poll, I received 1,302 votes and McDonnell only 34.
HMG: You are a hometown Los Angeles guy yes?
RL: I am a lifelong resident of Los Angeles County. I was born in Los Angeles at the historic Queen of Angels Hospital and raised in a home with a family of five. My parents taught me the values of Church, family, community and service. I am married to my lovely wife Kathy of 38 years and have three children and four grandchildren.
HMG: Thank you Sheriff.
RL: You are welcome, and you guys keep up the great work, we need political and community watchdogs.

Why didn’t HMG ask some tough questions, like what did you do to stop former Sheriff Baca’s corruption?
Bob Lindsey is steeped in Baca’s corruption.
Sheriff Jim McDonnell has my vote for Sheriff
You must be one of the sheriff’s drivers who is terrified of Bob winning. You are probably terrified of going out to patrol, to serve the community.
No Jose, I am just a concerned voter that recalls the abuse of power of disgraced former Sheriff Baca. I don’t want a return to those dark days of Sheriff Baca and Bob Lindsey worked for Baca and did nothing to stop the corruption.
Regarding your patrol duty comment, this leads me to believe that you work for the Sheriff’s department? you should know better that the Sheriff’s department needs an outsider like Sheriff McDonnell to continue to clean up the corruption. Jim McDonnell for Sheriff
Yes, I voted for Jim, and was happy about him winning. Yet, he framed innocent deputies into crimes I deeply care about, only to give the impression he was cleaning house. He did it Rampart style…you will eventually read in the papers, stay tuned…
Before you vote for Bob, you need to read this: http://variety.com/2018/biz/news/ryan-kavanaugh-sheriff-bob-lindsey-1202819931/
Your comment is irrelevant…but noted..
Bob is the only person who can bring the Sheriff’s department together, and through that union, deliver to the community.
HMG-CN, how about asking Bob Lindsey’s about his campaign funding from Latinos Progressivos, PAC.
Latinos Progressivos, PAC. is a George Soros funded,open borders, PAC.
