Someone posted a question in the above link, which is mine as well.... Sad news, but it begs the quesiton -— what exactly does someone in risk management division of the LA County Department of Internal Services actually do?
get overcompensated.
I dunno, but apparently it's to die for.
A government bureaucrat who probably was first into the office and last to leave on a regular basis. Garnered no affection or loyalty from her fellow pencil-pushers.
She was still getting her work done...and has already voted in the next three elections.
Risk management departments handle issues related to the agency's liability. In part, they are a type of claim adjuster, handling claims and possibly working with the city/county atty on civil cases. Many bigger agencies receive a large volume of claims, and people in the risk management department handle them as well as being proactive in trying to reduce the agencies exposure (legal risk, etc)
