This article has a sensational title and lacks on actual numbers. The number "least a half dozen" seems very approximate. What about the incidence of ex-gang members? Out of how many LA Sheriffs are we referring to?

Difficult to count, in part because Villanueva or his leadership allegedly discouraged investigations into them: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/06/06/the-la-county-sheriffs-deputy-gang-crisis https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/06/06/the-la-county-... > Last week, at a public hearing, the Civilian Oversight Commission presented new evidence to suggest that the investigators’ diminishing focus on the Banditos was directed from above. (Villanueva denies giving any orders that discouraged investigation.) Throughout the inquiry, the lead investigator kept a detailed log of his work. While votes in the election for sheriff were still being counted, in early November, he wrote that he was told to ask witnesses “additional questions about subcultures at East LA.” In a deposition for the case of the eight deputies, parts of which were read into evidence at the hearing, the investigator said that, after Villanueva’s victory, his supervisor had mentioned needing to “check with the sheriff” about the Banditos inquiry. Ten days later, the investigator noted a new instruction from his supervisor: “I do not need to ask about subculture groups at ELA Station.” He explained in his deposition, “We’re a paramilitary organization. He gives me an order; I follow through.” The financial cost is more well known: > Since 1990, according to the Office of the Inspector General, settlements involving deputies with gang affiliations have cost taxpayers at least $54 million. That New Yorker story also describes several ex-deputies with gang connections, including the Paul Tanaka trial (Vikings) and Villaneuva reinstating "Creepy" Carl Mandoyan (Grim Reapers).
