The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has made Forbes Magazine’s latest list of the top 500 U.S. employers.
The LASD was the only police agency in America to make the list, appearing at 363 in the group of top 500 large companies.
Every year, in conjunction with a research firm, Forbes compiles a list of 500 prominent employers from around the U.S. to determine which companies and institutions are preeminent in their fields.
Forbes surveyed 30,000 American workers anonymously from a broad range of companies and organizations.
The workers who participated were scored based on how likely they’d be to recommend their employer to others.
“I’m am very proud of the direction our organization is headed, LASD Sheriff Jim McDonnell said. “This ranking is further validation of the hard work all our LASD employees are investing each day to make our department among the best in America.”
