Wow look at them stats!!! continuously going down yr after yr. What a chief...With this constant downward spiral, how is there any crime at all??? The numbers game is getting old.. I'm soo tired of all these buffoons in charge that only have one driving motive and that's to work their way up to the next level. Chief trying to work his way up to some political spot, not concerned about the everyday hard working officer. Captains more concerned about what the media thinks, then just treating officers fairly. It's a joke, your numbers and your command staff.

What's up with LAPD?? I've never seen a department so concerned about
burning fellow officers. It creates a horrible working environment, in which everything you do is scrutinized by a battalion of upper management. It should be an environment where you fail forward, not get slammed backwards. That's why officers are still leaving in droves..
