With a new state law requiring police officers to report excessive force by their peers, the Los Angeles Police Department has only two such documented incidents in the last five years.

With a new state law requiring police officers to report excessive force by their peers, a Los Angeles police commissioner this summer asked department commanders how many times such reporting had occurred in the last five years.

In one, an officer reported seeing another yank a handcuffed detainee backward off a bench onto the floor, leading to the offending officer receiving a 10-day suspension and demotion. In the other, an officer reported being in a vehicle with two supervisors when one activated a personal stun gun and the other pulled out a handgun. The first supervisor received a 12-day suspension, the second a 22-day suspension.

“We continue to refine our systems to better analyze for a number of variables to better understand the interplay of factors,” Moore told The Times, referring to the shortcomings in the data. Late last year, lawmakers in Sacramento passed a law requiring that all California police agencies adopt policies mandating peer reporting of excessive force by January 2021. LAPD commanders said such reporting wasn’t new for them — that the LAPD has long required it — but the Police Commission nonetheless revised the use-of-force policy.

Dustin DeRollo, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Protective League, said the union supports peer reporting and believes it occurs routinely as officers report incidents to their supervisors and comply with internal investigations.

This is stupid

They get punished if they do. Oakland and Alameda PD went to war with each other for years because an Oakland cop arrested an off duty Alameda cop for a DUI. It’s like the mafia, you are supposed to follow a vow of silence or get punished.

Thank you
