The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department did not get the proper approval for an emergency helicopter landing pad behind Sheriff Alex Villanueva's home in La Habra Heights, a county audit found.
in February 2021. It found that the Sheriff’s Department did not receive permission from the city of La Habra Heights or the land owner, Southern California Gas Co.
The audit said the city of La Habra Heights determined that “the grading activity at the property was not permitted or approved and allegedly did not comply with municipal codes related to grading permits and erosion prevention.”from a gas company attorney demanding that the Sheriff’s Department stop the unauthorized work on their property and that the county undo what was done to the land.
The utility declined the request. Despite the rejection, the Sheriff’s Department hired a crew to grade the dirt.claimed J. Isaac Gonzalez, who worked for the parent company of Southern California Gas Co. , and a site supervisor sheriff’s officials knew only as “Tom” allegedly “gave verbal permission for the Sheriff’s Department to enter the property and level the hill for an emergency landing zone.
The idea that a Sheriff’s Department helicopter needed to be able to land near Villanueva’s home to quickly extract him came about in August 2020, when department officials conducted a threat assessment to identify risks to the sheriff’s safety. The review was done in the wake of “credible threats, doxing incidents, and protestors targeting law enforcement officials at their personal residences,” according to a memo, which was written by a Sheriff’s Department captain.
