WILLIAMS Consultant Attorney-at-Law 1 VIEWED FROM THE TOP We live in a fragmented society. People by the tens of thousands, drawn together by a determi­ nation to attain their own specific objectives, are organized in countless diverse causes. All are en­ gaged in struggles for recognition of one kind or another. This in no way implies disagreement with their purposes. On the contrary, it is largely through united action that progress and the cor­ rection of wrongs are achieved. What I find of in­ creasing concern is that some, in pursuit of their objectives, may fail to unite behind the larger issues that bind our City together. I encourage the participation of all responsible groups in the support of our common objective of a safe City and an ever more responsive Police Department. By far the greatest common danger threatening the safety of the people of Los Angeles is narcot­ ics and dangerous drugs. That present peril ex­ ceeds even the threat of future nuclear annihila­ tion because the danger no longer is simply a threat, but a fact of life and death. No ""ore deadly plague ever invaded our shores. We do well to thank the Lord for a government whose Constitution permits and encourages the enhancement of individual rights, but we do that government and ourselves the ultimate disser­ elementary, junior and senior high schools, vice by ignoring individual responsibilities and reaching some 550,000 youth.

Narcotics are found everywhere from Bel Air to Skid Row, among the elite and the dregs of society alike; among profes­ sional athletes, on the campuses of colleges and public schools, in industry, government, in ele­ gant offices and in otherwise respectable homes. Cocaine, the current choice of the more affluent, now claims 20 million users nationwide. It seems to me that our external enemies can relax their ambitions. Narcotics are rapidly doing the job for them. The menace can and must be eliminated. Law en­ forcement alone, for all its back-breaking efforts, is unequal to the task. I implore every citizen, parent and businessman in Los Angeles to recognize the enormity of the problem and to help, if only by taking 60 seconds a day to ponder what can be done in assuming their just part in the eradication responsibility.

GATES If our children are to survive, steps must be Chief of Police taken to turn them away from narcotics and dangerous drugs before they reap the whirlwind which their elders so recklessly are sowing. I readily admit to personal satisfaction in having initiated the drug resistance program now active in the City's elementary public schools. It is de­ scribed in detail on page 11. Its purpose: to teach youngsters how to remain free of drug contamination; how to create a decent future for themselves and, in so doing, awaken our City and country from its narcotics nightmare.

We are in the process of attempting to make constructive changes in many significant areas, while retaining those policies and procedures which have made the Department so successful in the past. We believe that 1978 was a positive year. We selected a new Chief of Police pursuant to an improved selection process. We maintained the high quality of polioe service in a period of fiscal limitation and restraint. We sought to increase public confidence in the Department's operations by providing for full disclosure of information to the public whenever possible. We expect that the current year will bring further improvement, and that we will be working closely with the Chief of Police in our efforts to better the Department's operation. We are grateful for the support you have shown us in the past and will 'i need your continued advice and counsel in the year ahead.

  • Kraut Memo Subpoenaed by LAPD
    LAPD TO SEEK D.A. MEMOS DETAILING PEREZ WARNINGS Article from: Daily News (Los Angeles, CA) Article date: March 20, 2000 Byline: Beth Barrett, Rick Orlov and Greg Gittrich Staff Writers LAPD officials will formally request today District Attorney documents detailing a prosecutor's warnings about rogue cop Rafael Perez's dishonesty more than a year before the Rampart Division scandal was uncovered, sources said Sunday. The request comes in response to disclosures, reported by the Daily News on Sunday, that Deputy District Attorney Michael Kraut raised serious questions in 1997 after two unrelated drug cases involving Perez, now the central figure in the largest police corruption scandal in city history, were dismissed. Despite Kraut's efforts to expose Perez, senior prosecutors in the District Attorney's Office did not inform LAPD officials of the deputy district attorney's suspicions about Perez until after the officer was arrested on cocaine theft charges in August 1998, officials said. ``Obviously we are quite concerned about these revelations,'' said LAPD Cmdr. David Kalish, a spokesman for the department. The District Attorney's Office declined to comment Sunday about the LAPD request for information, saying it had not been formally received. The disclosure that the District Attorney's Office failed to immediately tell the Los Angeles Police Department about Kraut's suspicions heightened concern among several city officials who already had expressed discomfort about the course of the ongoing police corruption probe. ``We need to get more information, and we need more cooperation among all officials,'' City Council President John Ferraro said. Ferraro said if Kraut did warn his superiors in writing about Perez, ``then we should have been told about it.'' Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas said the report fuels his concerns about the District Attorney's investigation of the Rampart scandal.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “And Make the San Fernando Valley My Home:” Contested Spaces, Identities, and Activism on the Edge of Los Angeles A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Jean-Paul deGuzman 2014 © Copyright by Jean-Paul deGuzman 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “And Make the San Fernando Valley My Home:” Contested Spaces, Identities, and Activism on the Edge of Los Angeles by Jean-Paul deGuzman Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Janice L. Reiff, Chair Southern California’s San Fernando Valley is a huge expanse of land that comprises the northernmost section of the City of Los Angeles. Although it is currently the home to over 1.8 million residents with roots from across the globe and for several decades has been a city within a city, powerful and competing images of “the Valley” continue to shape public consciousness about this well-known American space. For better or worse, the San Fernando Valley has become a metonym for the rise and fall of post-World War II suburbia. This linear narrative – that privileges the transformation of agricultural fields into industrial plants and residential suburbs that later fell victim to urban sprawl – elides the histories of people of color in favor of broad generalizations about segregation or demographic change. This dissertation challenges those assumptions and uses the San Fernando Valley as a site to understand the overlapping relationships between race, space, and activism in the twentieth century. I propose that the San Fernando Valley is an instructive site to examine those ii relationships because of its historically multiethnic neighborhoods that have been shaped by the forces of such as war, metropolitan growth, and economic restructuring.
