Finding Aid of the Independent 0229 1 Commission on the Los Angeles Police Department records ... Title: Independent Commission on the Los Angeles Police Department records Collection number: 0229 Contributing Institution: USC Libraries Special Collections Language of Material: English Physical Description: 48.5 Linear feet50 boxes Date: 1991 Abstract: The city of Los Angeles became the epicenter of a public relations scandal on March 3, 1991, when an amateur cameraman captured on video four uniformed LAPD officers beating motorist Rodney G. King. In addition to generating public outrage, the incident cast a dark shadow over the LAPD and called into question the integrity of the nation's third largest municipal police force. Subsequently, the ten member Independent Commission on the Los Angeles Police Department was formed to conduct a full and fair evaluation of all aspects of the LAPD's structure and operations related to the use of force when making arrests. Included in this collection are the documents that were collected and analyzed by the Commission over the course of its study.

Historical note On March 3, 1991, at the end of a high-speed vehicle pursuit, an amateur cameraman captured on video four uniformed LAPD officers beating motorist Rodney G. King. The incident, which occurred in the presence of a sergeant and a group of other officers, spurred public outcry and fostered an overwhelming sense of mistrust and disdain toward the LAPD. In response, the Mayor and the Chief of Police of Los Angeles each formed an independent citizens' commission to conduct a full and fair investigation into the LAPD's tactics, policies, practices, and procedures, especially those pertaining to the use of force when making arrests. To avoid overlap the two commissions subsequently merged and formed the Independent Commission on the Los Angeles Police Department, also referred to as the . Presiding over the ten member advisory body was Los Angeles attorney Warren Christopher, who had previously served in the Lyndon Johnson administration as Deputy Attorney General and in the Jimmy Carter administration as Deputy Secretary of State. Retired California Supreme Court Justice, John A. Arguelles, was selected to be second in command. Over the course of the investigation, Christopher, Arguelles, and the Commission members were assisted by an experienced staff of more than 60 attorneys from major Los Angeles law firms, all of whom worked strictly on a pro bono basis. Together, the Commission and its staff reviewed one million pages of documentation related to all aspects of the law enforcement structure in Los Angeles that might cause or contribute to the problem of excessive force. Special attention was drawn to the LAPD's training and recruitment practices, assignment and promotion procedures, internal disciplinary system, citizen's complaint process, and use-of-force guidelines. The investigation also centered on the role of the city's Board of Police Commissioners and evaluated the dynamics between the Mayor-appointed commissioners and members of the LAPD's administration. The Commission concluded its study after three months and synthesized its findings into the Report of the Independent Commission on the Los Angeles Police Department. The 228 page report identified several major structural problems within the LAPD that shed light onto the King incident and also offered conditions and recommendations for improvement. Many of the problems identified by the Commission were attributed to the LAPD's management and administration practices led by Chief of Police Daryl M. Gates. The major issues and strategies identified in the Commission report can be grouped into the following thematic categories:

Finding Aid of the Independent 0229 2 Commission on the Los Angeles Police Department records ... (1) Excessive Force. Dozens of officers abuse the Department's use-of-force guidelines by repeatedly exercising excessive force. These incidents are rarely included in the officers' personnel files. (2) Racism. The problem of excessive force is aggravated by racism and bias within the LAPD. Officers brazenly send racist and sexist messages over the Department's Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) system without reprimand. A greater degree of sensitivity training should be incorporated into the academy curriculum to solve this problem. (3) Community. The LAPD has an organizational culture that emphasizes crime control over crime prevention. This has fostered a siege mentality among officers and has isolated the police from the communities and the people that they serve. The Department should re-evaluate its philosophy and consider adopting a more proactive, community oriented approach to law enforcement. (4) Discipline. The discipline system is skewed against citizens making complaints. Instead of conducting a full and fair evaluation, investigators seem more concerned with exonerating the accused officers of wrongdoing. (5) Recruitment. The Department's current recruitment and screening program is a poor predictor of an applicant's tendencies toward violent behavior, and the background investigation pays too little attention to a candidate's history of violence. Officers should also be regularly screened to determine if physical or psychological problems develop over time. (6) Chief. Chief of Police Daryl F. Gates should transition toward retirement, and his successors should be limited to two 5-year terms. (7) Implementation. The support of politicians, the police, and the general public is essential to successfully enact reforms and implement change within the Department. The Commission completed its study in 100 days and published its report in July, 1991, three months after the investigation was formally launched.

Box 15 First Interstate Bancorp Scope and Content On April 3, 1991, the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners ordered Chief of Police Daryl Gates to take 60 days of paid administrative leave in response to the Rodney King incident. After threatening legal action, Gates was reinstated to his post as Chief by the City Council.

First Interstate Bancorp was the firm selected to investigate the dynamics between these two administrative bodies, and materials in the series pertain to the firm's work product. Included are performance-related self evaluations submitted by Chief Gates to the Police Commission; the writ of mandamus petitioned by Gates related to his administrative leave; a legal opinion discussing the role of the City Attorney in cases where the opinions of two city bodies are juxtaposed; interview transcripts regarding the LAPD's procedures for handling complaints; memoranda about corruption within the LAPD; and reviews and summaries of literature regarding civilian oversight of municipal police departments. The series also contains materials directly related to First Interstate Bancorp's work product, including detailed work plans, contact lists, meeting agendas, and correspondence with other firms working on the Commission report.

Scope and Content

Interviews LAPD and other

Box 20 Graham & James Scope and Content Graham & James researched two issues: the role of gender in the use of excessive force, and instances of gender discrimination within the LAPD. Research toward this end was derived from a wide variety of sources, including published literature, theses and dissertations, studies and statistics, police ride-alongs, and personal interviews. The series includes a memorandum issued by Graham & James discussing the reasons why female officers are less inclined to use excessive force, as well as many of the firm's interview notes.

Box 20, Folder 22 Memoranda - Gender differences in the use of excessive force by the Los Angeles Police Department 1991 June Box 20, Folder 23 Attorney Work Product Box 20-21 Heller, Ehrman, White & McAuliffe Scope and Content A critical component of the Commission's investigation centered on the idea that governance of the LAPD was shared between the Office of the Chief of Police, an administrative body, and the Board of Police Commissioners, a citizen body. To better understand the dynamic between these two entities, the staff of Heller, Ehrman, White, & McAuliffe researched the history of the Los Angeles City Charter, focusing primarily on its provisions regarding the distribution of power and the structure and organization of the LAPD. Included in the series are reproductions of reports, dissertations, article clippings, excerpts from city documents, and charter amendments related to the charter's conception and development over time. The series also includes several summaries of expert witness interviews regarding the effectiveness of this structure.
