Most Los Angeles police officers found to have wrongfully opened fire on people in recent years avoided serious discipline or received none at all, according to a new report.
Most Los Angeles police officers who were found to have wrongfully opened fire on people in recent years avoided serious punishments or received no discipline at all for their sometimes deadly errors, according to a report by the LAPD’s inspector general.
Often the decision not to discipline officers was made by LAPD Chief Michel Moore or his predecessor, Chief Charlie Beck, who decided that 29 of the 66 officers reviewed in the report needed only to receive additional training and should not be punished. Members of the public filed complaints against many of these officers, but nearly all of those claims ended without any punishment.
“The Mayor will review these findings closely and is committed to engaging in a robust discussion about learning from them after the Police Commission takes up the report next week,” Wollman said. “LAPD officers are held accountable through one of the most rigorous, transparent and extensive review processes in the nation,” the union said. “To imply otherwise would be disingenuous.”
