The proposal calls on the county to 'declare the state of mental health services and overcrowding in the LA County jails a humanitarian crisis.'

"The authors sought no advice from those who know and understand public safety issues," he said. "They seek to lower the jail population without addressing the root causes of crime or protecting the public."

But the supervisors' proposal, Siddall said, does not include provisions to "protect the community from violent criminals." "This catch-and-release program comes without any plan or infrastructure to protect the community from violent criminals apprehended by law enforcement," he said. "This program benefits no one except for career criminals. We need to make sure the most dangerous offenders don't get out, that first-time offenders don't com back and that those with serious mental illnesses get appropriate care and help. This does none of that.
