A foundation affiliated with the union representing Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies is collecting donations to support the family of Deputy Brian Sneed, a West Hollywood Station deputy who died earlier this month.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department announced Sneed’s off-duty death on Feb. 13, 2026, saying it was “deeply saddened” by his passing and extending condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. No additional details about the circumstances of his death were released.

He advised prospective recruits to “never give up, and always keep pushing forward putting one foot in front of the other.”…
