Read full article: 18 months after Barrientes Vela’s removal, new constable still helping traumatized deputiesEditor’s note: This story is part of an investigative series about the criminal case against ex-Constable Michelle Barrientes Vela. AdOrganizing a property room that was in disarray has also been one of Vazquez’s priorities the past 18 months. As Vazquez settles in for a full term in office that runs through the end of 2024, helping traumatized deputies remains one of her focuses. Vazquez agreed with an assessment from the Defenders that deputies who served under Barrientes Vela appeared to be shell shocked and showed signs of having Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Moreno and De La Cerda declined requests to be interviewed for the investigative special since both are still involved in pending civil lawsuits against Barrientes Vela.
