I would like to direct you to a program the LASD had in the
1970s. It was called the Documentary Art program and it
Operated out of Headquarters Community Relations. The civilian artist was Leo Monahagn.
There are numerous pieces around the department that cam from that program including portraits of Deputy killed in the line if duty. You will find marvelous pieces if you do your research.
Many were displayed at the L A County fair . You may have to start by contacting the Sheriff Museum.
