It is with great honor and sadness to announce that Maria Gutierrez will be retiring soon from the Los Angeles Country Sheriff's Department. She had a long run of 34 years in law enforcement, starting from a deputy and climbing her way to Assistant Sheriff. But her journey is not yet through. On August 12 of 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom appointed Maria as the new Commissioner for the State of California Board of Parole Hearings. She will be conducting parole suitability hearings and parole reconsideration and rescission hearings for adult offenders, among other multitude of responsibilities.
Though Maria will be leaving us in law enforcement, she will be moving forward onto a new and exciting opportunity, where she will still be working with us as the Commissioner, continuing to serve our community in another way.
Please join us in congratulating Maria Gutierrez on her new position as the Commissioner for the State of California Board of Parole Hearings.
Thank you for your service!
