Lakewood Sheriff's Station, captain retires
Capt. David Sprengel took over the Lakewood station in 2019.
LAKEWOOD, CALIF. — The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s substation in Lakewood is under new command as Captain David Sprengel retires this month.
Lt. Juan Briseno is the Acting Captain of the Lakewood Station, per emails of Public Safety Director Joshua Yordt and Councilman Todd Rogers. Lt. Briseno took over from Captain David Sprengel, who became the Lakewood Station’s captain in 2019.
Both Yordt and Rogers noted that Sheriff’s commanders normally retire at the end of March.
Sprengel is a 32-year member of the Sheriff’s Department and took over the 200-uniformed-and-civilian personnel station in 2019. Then-Lieutenant Sprengel served as acting captain before being promoted as commander of the Lakewood Sheriff’s Station.
Sprengel’s photo can still be seen on the Lakewood Station’s website.
In an email to Gregory Slaughter, candidate for City Council District 2 (home of current-Vice Mayor Steve Croft, who is running for reelection), Yordt praised Briseno’s leadership and thanked Sprengel.
“The city wishes Captain Sprengel the very best in a well-deserved retirement, and Captain, and Captain Sprengel has expressed his appreciation to the Lakewood community for their support for Sheriff’s personnel and their excellent partnership with him and the Lakewood Sheriff’s Station in the cause of maintaining and enhancement safety in Lakewood.”
