Former Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna wasted no time before criticizing Sheriff Alex Villanueva in the first one-on-one debate for the top law enforcement position in Los Angeles County.

"I believe the department, right now, is dysfunctional," Luna said.

Villanueva defended his record against Luna as the debate turned into a back-and-forth between the two candidates. Both are vying for voters' support ahead of the November election for Sheriff of Los Angeles County.
