Episode Details

A Los Angeles County sheriffs deputy, Trevor Kirk, convicted of excessive force, remained on the payroll for months after losing his state certification. Kirk was found guilty in February 2025 for throwing a woman to the ground during a robbery response. Despite being decertified in November 2025, he collected a six-figure salary until February 2026. The incident sparked controversy, with the Sheriffs Civilian Oversight Commission advocating for a new policy to fire decertified deputies, while the deputies union defended Kirk. The case highlights ongoing tensions over handling convicted or decertified personnel in the agency.
