On July 26, 2004 Sikhnet reported, "Once again Sheriff Leroy D. Baca has lead the way in the battle for equal opportunity and fair treatment for all Californians and has set an example for all of America by inviting Sikh Americans to join and serve in the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department while maintaining their religiously mandated appearance. Tonight at 7:00pm at the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration in the main hearing room, Jagjit Singh, the first turbaned and bearded Sikh in the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department will graduate from levels 1 & 2 of his reserve training."
