Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No police force in history has gained as much fame and notoriety as the Los Angeles Police Department. The acronym LAPD is practically synonymous with the idea of professional law enforcement. The men in blue who patrol Hollywood and the sprawling metropolis of L.A. have been investigated by screenwriters more times than vice versa. With more than 9,300 sworn officers today, the LAPD endures seemingly endless controversies and media circuses. But then there's the other side of L.A.'s protective shield--the story of the force's evolution alongside the spectacular growth of its unique melting-pot city. This book's rare and often never-before-published photographs focus on that side: the excitement, danger, tragedy, and comedy of everyday beat cops and workaday detectives--with concessions to their limelight representations, including Jack Webb's Dragnet and Adam-12.

Book excerpt: In 1869 the Los Angeles City Council organized the city's first paid police force. The unit had only six officers, and they did not receive traditional salaries. Today there are approximately 9,000 uniformed officers and 3,000 civilian employees of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) charged with maintaining law and order in the city's 468 square miles. Although it has seen more than its share of controversy and scandal, the LAPD remains one of the premiere police forces in the United States. Los Angeles Police Department tracks the force's evolution from a small band of crime fighters to a cutting-edge police department. Modern law enforcement agencies fight crime on many levels, from the street to the boardroom to cyberspace. In many ways the history of modern civilization is the history of crime and the battle against it. As society and technology have become more complex and connected, so have criminal enterprises and the police organizations that oppose them. Each book in the Law Enforcement Agencies series traces the evolution of a specific police force or unit from its inception to the present. The series explores the full range of crime fighting tactics in use today, from the cop on the beat to high-tech surveillance and computer forensics. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: The Rodney King incident and the OJ Simpson trial brought the LAPD national notoriety as a municipal police force that was out-of-synch with the city it polices. But is this force of 9,000 men and women really made up of mavericks, miscreants and rogues? In this revised edition of a true-crime classic, rookie police officer William Dunn takes you inside that other LAPD, one where hard-working, sometimes all-too-human beat cops battle to do their job protecting and serving the average citizen; all the while dealing with dangerous, albeit often colorful, criminals.Set during three of the city's most turbulent years in the middle of one of its most impoverished, and violent, policing divisions (Southwest Station), Los Angeles as seen through the eyes of rookie Officer Dunn is a potentially volatile, constantly changing landscape. To be a good cop, and survive the experience, Dunn quickly learns from some unforgettable teachers how to lay down the law on the streets. Dunn's dispatches from the frontlines of LA are dramatic, humorous and touching. His insights and history into street gangs such as the Crips, the Bloods, and the notorious La Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) street gang/murder cult are compelling and informative. Every day there is another drive-by shooting, high-speed chase or just downright bizarre situation to be dealt with. Dunn offers some of the most compelling insights into the challenges facing a young street cop - and the way we keep peace in America's most dangerous policing districts.

This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Police Department, City of Los Angeles, California: For the Fiscal Year 1931-1932 December 16, 1931, witnessed the completion and formal opening of the new City Jail in Lincoln Heights Division, which brought relief to a situation tolerated for many years. Today, we find praise for the manner in which prisoners are cared for instead of the usual shower of criticism annually received. The establishing of'a division of the Municipal Court within the jail building has reduced to the minimum the danger and expense formerly placed upon this Department through transporting prisoners to court. The holding of night sessions in this court has greatly benefited a certain class of prisoners as well as assisted us in our jailing problem. On December 7, 1931, we were privileged to open to departmental use the new Lincoln Heights station, thereby providing another modern building to properly house the personnel and to improve the efficiency of that Division.
