The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is under fire once gain, this time in a report by a special counsel tasked with investigating secretive groups, or deputy gangs, that have operated within the agency for decades.

The report by the Civilian Oversight Commission condemned the groups, whose members engage in “egregious conduct” like using excessive force and threatening colleagues, as a “cancer” that must be banned immediately. It also accused the union that represents the sheriff's deputies of failing to stop the gangs and protecting alleged members.

Sheriff Robert Luna said in a statement Friday that he was elected in November to"bring new leadership and accountability to this Department" and thanked the commission for its work but stopped short of committing to immediately ban the cliques. Luna announced last month that he was creating an Office of Constitutional Policing to eradicate deputy gangs, comply with consent decrees, and ensure the department’s policies and procedures uphold the public’s constitutional rights. The office will be led by former U.S Attorney Eileen Decker and staffed with attorneys, investigators and auditors.

Much like street gangs, the deputy gang members identify themselves by code names, such as the Banditos, Executioners, Regulators, Spartans, Reapers, Wayside Whities and 3000 Boys, according to the report. Members often sport matching tattoos and use language and gestures associated with street gangs.
