Year In Review by Bernard C. Parks

As I reflect upon the past year I do so with a sense of

pride. The year 2000 was indeed a turning point in the

history of the Los Angeles Police Department. The

new millennium brought with it challenges, change and

significant accomplishments.

In true LAPD tradition, we viewed the challenges as

opportunities to make a difference. We accepted

change as leaders in law enforcement, with pride while

continuing our commitment to excellence exemplified

throughout our Department’s history. I am proud of

the contribution that every member of this Department

has made to our success during the year 2000. Each

and every day, the men and women of the LAPD

provide the kind of quality service the people of Los Angeles have come to expect. They do so with

honor and integrity, hallmarks of the Los Angeles Police Department. The following are the

challenges and opportunities these officers successfully met during the year 2000.

The Beginning of the New Millennium – Year of the WomanThe year 2000 marks the entrance of the Los Angeles Police Department and the City of Los Angeles

into the new millennium. This year can easily be considered the Year of the Woman. The

accomplishments of women within this Department have been extraordinary. In leadership positions,

these women serve as role models as they blaze new trails of inspiration for all their fellow officers.

on this organization. In

French, along with eight of

their brother officers, were

awarded with the highest

Her appointment prompted nationwide publicity. By

1916, her efforts in promoting the need for female offic-

ers resulted in the hiring of policewomen in 16 other

cities and in several foreign

countries.

She introduced into local law enforcement the idea

that women, as regular members of municipal police

departments, are as qualified to perform protective and

preventive work as male officers.

While responding to a radio

call, Officer French engaged

in gun battle with a mentally

unstable suspect armed with

superior firepower. She was

critically wounded while

valiantly maintaining cover

for her fellow officers.

Sergeant Leuck mortally wounded the suspect when he

hunted her down in an underground garage, terminating

the deadly rampage.

Women inLeadershipWhen Ann Young

joined the force 19

years ago, she did

not know that all her

hard work and

dedication would

help her achieve a

place in Los Angeles

Police Department

history. In April

2000, she was

appointed to the

rank of Captain,

making her the first

African-American female to achieve this rank in the

Department’s 131 year history.

10

Captain Young plays an active role in a number of civic,

business and professional organizations. She earned her

master’s degree in Education from the University of

Nevada, Las Vegas, and her Bachelors of Science in

Kinesiology from the University of California, Los Ange-

les. She holds a teaching credential from UC Irvine and is

an alumnus of the FBI National Academy for Law En-

forcement in Quantico, Virginia and of West Point Leader-

ship and Supervisory Leadership Institutes.

Because of her

outstanding career

accomplishments,

the first female to

attain the rank of

Deputy Chief was

appointed in June

2000. Margaret Ann

York, known to

many as Peggy,

became the first

woman in the history

of the Los Angeles

Police Department to

reach this rank. A 32-year veteran, she is currently serving

as Commanding Officer of Operations-Central Bureau,

where she oversees five community police stations. Her

prior commands include Detective Services Group,

Wilshire Detectives, Wilshire Patrol, Financial Crimes

Division and Internal Affairs Division.

With a master’s degree in Public Administration from the

University of Southern California and a bachelor’s degree

in Management from the University of Redlands, she is an

alumnus of the FBI National Academy and the Southern

California Leadership Network.

Women in Volunteer ServiceAnother woman of inspiration and leadership is 75-year

young Specialist Reserve Officer Erica DeSmith. She was

named LAPD Reserve Officer of the Year and rightfully so.

For the past seven years, Erica has volunteered four days a

week, eight hours a day for no pay at the Devonshire Area

Community Police Station, responding to complaints from

callers. She has donated more than 13,000 hours of her

time to the Department.

Accomplishments 2000(877) ASK-LAPD

Implemented on June 16, 1999, (877) ASK-LAPD was

intended to provide an alternative, toll free, single point of

contact phone number for non-emergencies, to further

improve the efficiency of the 9-1-1 emergency system.

Historically, over 80 percent of the calls received through

9-1-1 have not been emergencies (or calls appropriate for

reporting through the 9-1-1 emergency system).

During the second year of its existence, the Department

launched a four-month public education campaign to

promote the non-emergency phone number’s use. Radio,

billboard, and transit advertising were all used to inform

the public of the proper use of the 9-1-1 system and the

non-emergency number. The Department’s ASK-LAPD

Task Force supervised and directed this campaign with

assistance from the Communications Division’s Commu-

Deputy Chief Margaret Ann York

LAPD OnlineThe world’s most comprehensive law enforcement Web

site, www.lapdonline.org, recorded an impressive total of

29,555,359 hits for the year 2000, with an average of

80,752 hits per day. More than 3 million visitors logged

onto the Web site in March and November with only three

other months, January, June, and July, showing slightly less

than two million monthly hits. Visitors to the Web site

downloaded 395,270 documents, such as the Department’s

1999 Annual Report, The BEAT Newsletter, crime statis-

tics, comprehensive crime prevention tips, “most wanted”

suspect information, missing person profiles and more.

The Web site continues to serve the purpose of promoting

public safety and providing the community with useful and

timely information to maintain a close relationship between

the Department, the people of Los Angeles, and beyond.

Community ForumsThe Los Angeles Police Department’s Community Forums

program is an institutionalized method that enables the

Office of the Chief of Police to obtain input and discuss

problematic and quality of life issues, suppress rumors, and

to enhance civic awareness of LAPD operations. This has

developed into an effective avenue to address a variety of

key issues that affect the people of this City.

The Community Forums consist of the Religious Forum,

the Hispanic Forum, the Asian Pacific Islander Advisory

Council, the Black Forum, the Gay and Lesbian Forum,

and the Youth Forum. Each forum is composed of ap-

proximately twenty to thirty business and community

members, and meets quarterly with the Chief of Police.

Forum Summits are a culmination of all Forums and

convene semi-annually to share information, ideas, and

new innovations. A total of 14 meetings, including two

Forum Summits, are held throughout the City. These

endeavors have helped to foster and build a credible

relationship with the community through the dissemination

of timely and factual information.

Each Community Forum continuously strives to maintain

an open avenue of communication among the diverse

communities, in an ongoing effort to keep abreast of

current issues and to closely align Department resources

with the needs of community members throughout the

City.

Board of InquiryAs promised the people of Los Angeles back in the early

days of the Rampart Area Corruption Incident, a Board of

Inquiry was convened as a fact-finding, two-year extensive

follow-up investigation to understand the causes that led to

this dark chapter in the Department’s history. Released

on March 1, 2000, the Board’s report on the Rampart

Incident made short and long term self-implemented

recommendations necessary to prevent similar incidents

from occurring in the future.

The Board of Inquiry was established to recommend

meaningful remedial steps to ensure that events such as the

Rampart Corruption Incident never happen again and to

restore our relationship with the public we serve.

Integrity SeminarOn October 6, 2000, a day long seminar convened at

Elysian Park Police Academy to focus upon lessons the

Board of Inquiry learned about the Rampart Area Corrup-

tion Incident. Integrity Seminar 2000 brought together

Department command staff and members of the U.S.

Attorney’s Office to discuss topics such as supervisory

accountability, hiring and screening for integrity, internal

investigations, and integrity audits. Approximately 400 law

enforcement professionals from around the country at-

tended this seminar.

Lakers Day ParadeThe City celebrated the Lakers first championship win

since 1988 with a parade through downtown Los Angeles

on June 20, 2000. Los Angeles police officers were in full

force as half a million fans lined up Figueroa Street leading

to the rally at Staples Center. The large police presence

assured a peaceful parade as revelers celebrated with their

National Basketball Association Champions. Earlier that

week, the City was spotlighted by the media after some

unruly fans took to the streets, causing damage to several

local businesses, following the final championship game.

Donation of 233 Cell Phonesand Air TimeIn May, AT&T Wireless, Ericcsson Mobile Phones and the

Wireless Foundation donated 233 cell phones to the Los

Angeles Police Department. The phones have been used to

make all 168 Senior Lead Officers more accessible to

community members while out on patrol, aiding in our

increased community policing effort. This extremely

gracious donation was facilitated by the Los Angeles

Police Foundation.

Los Angeles Police-CelebrityGolf TournamentThe 29th annual Police-Celebrity Golf Tournament was held

at the Woodley Golf Course in Van Nuys on Saturday, May

20, 2000. Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky served as host.

Other celebrities at the event were Dennis Hopper, Dennis

Quaid, LeAnn Hunley and Alex Thomas. Thousands

attended the celebrity filled event to meet their favorite

celebrities of film, TV, and sports.

This event raises money for the Los Angeles Police Memo-

rial Foundation, which supports families of sworn officers

killed in the line of duty, and also assists sworn and civilian

employees who have serious injuries or suffer from cata-

strophic illnesses. The event also serves as a Department

“Open House,” showcasing specialty units and equipment

to all those who attend.

New Helicopters added toAir Support DivisionThe Department purchased eight new advanced

helicopters in the year 2000 and will continue to

purchase two new helicopters at the rate of two per

year in efforts to standardize the fleet. The

helicopters are purchased from a French company,

disassembled and shipped to Texas, where they are

reassembled with a state-of-the-art law enforcement

package to meet Department standards.

Funds are coordinated through Municipal

Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles.

Edward M. DavisSculpture DedicationAs the 46th Chief of Police for the City of Los Angeles,

Edward M. Davis’ legacy had a tremendous influence on

policing in the 20th Century. As a pioneering police admin-

istrator, he developed new tools, innovative techniques,

and advanced procedures in the prevention and deterrence

of crime and the apprehension of offenders. Chief Davis

became known as the “Father of Community Policing,”

creating the

gram – the

first commu-

nity policing

strategy in the

nation – the

concept. He

was also the architect of the “20 Principles of Manage-

ment.” His tenure as Chief contributed immensely to the

stature, efficiency, and morale of the Department. His

programs and principles have been adopted by law en-

forcement organizations worldwide.

He was honored with a bronze sculptured bust perma-

nently placed in the main corridor of the Edward M. Davis

Emergency Vehicle Operations Center/Tactics Training

Facility in Granada Hills on October 28, 2000.

Chief’s Business BreakfastThe Los Angeles Police Department sponsored two busi-

ness breakfasts in March and November at the Ahmanson

business environment in the City. This is the third year of

this innovative program designed to enhance the commu-

nity/police partnership. Several additional Business Break-

fasts are being planned for 2001.

Y2K ReadinessThe Department’s state of readiness for the new millenium

was led by the Anti-Terrorist Division (ATD), which

helped to reduce the anxiety and ensure the public’s

safety in any eventuality as the City prepared to greet

the year 2000. The ATD personnel served on sub-

committees for Y2K preparation and the Democratic

National Convention to assist Department command-

ers in planning for a safe and terrorist-free environ-

ment.

2000 Democratic National Convention by Commander Tom Lorenzen

In the spring of 1998, the City of Los Angles was invited to submit a proposal to host the 2000 DemocraticNational Convention (DNC). Los Angeles Convention 2000, a non-profit organization comprised of leadersfrom both the public and private sectors, was formed to pursue this opportunity. The Department participated inthe proposal, submitting an outline for providing police services to the event.

In April of 1999, our City was officially selected to host the DNC over the cities of Boston and Denver. For thefirst time in 40 years and only the second time in its history, the City of Los Angeles had the honor of hostingthis important part of the political process.

Clearly, the Department faced a significant challenge in meeting the demands of the Convention, while continu-ing its daily obligations to the four million residents of the City. From the beginning, the Department viewed theDNC as an event of similar magnitude to the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles. Every effort wasmade to manage the Convention in the same professional and efficient manner as was achieved during thesummer games, and to bring the Convention to the same successful conclusion.

The DNC took place from August 14 through August 17, 2000, at the City’s newest arena, The Staples Center.Completed less than a year prior to the Convention, this state-of-the-art sports complex is home to theLos Angeles Lakers, Kings and Clippers. The Staples Center is located directly adjacent to the newly renovated15

16

Los Angeles Convention Center which wasutilized as a media center and administrativefacility for the DNC.

The Staples Center was the focal point for allDNC activity. Convention business took placeat that site from mid-morning through earlyevening each day. President Clinton, VicePresident Gore, Senator Lieberman, their fami-lies, members of Congress, cabinet members,party officials and approximately 19 state gover-nors were in the City during the event. Approxi-mately 20,000 delegates attended the Conven-tion each day. Over 25,000 media personnel

from all over the world were in and around theCity throughout the week.

Numerous hotels, public establishments, andprivate residences became venues for delegateparties and other DNC related activities. Twomajor downtown hotels were established as DNCheadquarters and another as the DNC mediaheadquarters.

The planning and management of this event wastruly a cooperative effort involving multipleagencies. The Department served as the leadlocal agency. The United States Secret Servicewas the lead federal agency. Other agenciesplaying significant roles were the Los Angeles

Fire Department, the Federal Bureau of Investiga-tion, California Highway Patrol, Los AngelesCounty Sheriff’s Department, and the Los AngelesDepartment of Transportation.

Between the time the DNC was awarded to theCity and the actual event in August, a number ofpolitically motivated violent demonstrations incities across the country increased apprehension asto what could be expected when the DNC arrived.The proper management of demonstrations was thesingle biggest challenge faced by the Department.Clearly, the eyes of the world would be on LosAngeles and its police department.

Departmentplannersdeveloped newstrategies andadded signifi-cant innova-tions to theDepartment’scivil anddisturbanceresponsetactics andmass arrestprotocols. Existing mass arrestprocedures were scrapped and a newstreamlined version, with significantparticipation by the Los AngelesCounty Sheriff’s Department, expo-nentially enhanced the arrest capabil-ity of the Department. New, lesslethal munitions were obtained andthe protocol for testing and trainingwas established. This necessitatedDepartment-wide training for ourmobile field forces, rapid response teams, andbicycle details. Training sessions were alsoconducted to familiarize staff and commandpersonnel with the tasks they had been appointedto manage.

Everyone’s concerns over civil unrest came tofruition on the night of the Convention, when acontroversial anti-establishment rock band gave afree concert at the demonstration site, locatedright outside the front door of the Staples Center.Within minutes of the end of the concert, groupsof violent anarchists caused damage to property,assaulted citizens and police officers, and at-tempted to gain entrance to the secure areasurrounding the Convention. Putting their exten-sive training to use, and exercising professionaldiscipline, Los Angeles Police Department offic-ers declared an unlawful assembly and enforcedthe dispersal order in a measured and tacticallyefficient manner. In short order, those respon-sible for the violence and property damage werearrested or dispersed.

The tone was set. Although a major march or

demonstration took place each day somewherein the City throughout the rest of the week, nosignificant acts of violence or civil disobedi-ence occurred. The peace of the City wasmaintained, the business of the Conventionwent on without interruption, and the demo-cratic process prevailed.

The Final OutcomeThe Department’s performance during theDNC was by all accounts outstanding. Despitethe many obstacles encountered, including thefederal court intervention, oppressive summer

heat, long working hours, andlarge-scale demonstrations thatseverely stretched our re-sources, our personnel pulledtogether each day and put forththeir best efforts. FromDeputy Chiefs leading mobile

17

field forces, to newly-hired garage mechanics working tokeep the fleet rolling, everyone pulled together as a team,sworn and civilian, working side by side as partners.

The Convention proceeded without interruption and inthose cases where our personnel were forced to takeenforcement action, they did so in a swift and professionalmanner. Approximately 200 arrests were made for avariety of offenses. No significant property damage orinjuries were reported, and crime throughout the Citydropped dramatically for the week.

Citizen Support

“My wife and I just wanted to express our deepest gratitude to the men and women of the West ValleyPolice Division. On Thursday, July 20, 2000, our twelve year old daughter ran away from home. Weare sure you could imagine how devastating that could be for parents….We felt like your officerstreated our situation personally, as if it had been one of their own children.”Mr. and Mrs. Fluke Fluker - Winnetka

“On behalf of the many thousand United Parcel Service employees who work in Los Angeles andsurrounding communities, please accept our thanks for the excellent performance of the entire LAPDduring last week’s DNC. By providing a strong presence in the convention area and providing supportto UPS and other area businesses, our employees were able to enjoy a safe work environment. Theseofficers surely went above and beyond any expectation of public service.”United Parcel Service

“In these rough times for the LAPD, I thought you would appreciate a positive letter. Sgt. Watsonmade a difference in my feeling secure in the City. Thank you to all the people who responded to ouralarm.”Paula Perelma Brynen - Los Angeles

“I found myself in the unfamiliar position of being arrested. I want to take this opportunity to bring toyour attention the professional manner in which these two officers handled the incident that I wasinvolved in. They were extremely courteous to me, treated me as a human being and not as someonewho was beneath humane treatment and understanding. This treatment continued at the FoothillStation and was further exemplified by the duty Sergeant.”Name withheld - Pacoima

“From the officers who took the report, to the detectives and the officers who responded to investigate,I would like to commend them for their professionalism, courteousness and sincere care they demon-strated in resolving this matter.”Gloria Torres - Los Angeles

“A community is blessed to have a police department that cares.”The Donnell Family - Chino

The Department received 502 commendation letters from citizens, community leaders, civic groups andvisitors thanking our officers for their valuable service during the year 2000. These letters serve asreminders of the appreciation the community has for the men and women of the LAPD who are called ondaily to put their lives on the line for the people who work, live and travel in the City.

Our officers stay in tune with the heartbeat of this City by being involved with a wide range of diversecommunity groups. Here they utilize their experience and expertise so that the community andindividuals benefit.

The range of these community groups is as diverse as the individuals who make up the Department.They are involved with crisis groups, police community organizations, youth oriented clubs and animaladvocacy groups.

We would like to thank everyone for taking their time to write and recognize our officers as we continueto pledge our support to the people of the City.
