	LAPD Scandal: Testament to the Failure of Police Reform (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In 1991, in the wake of the Rodney King beating, a blue-ribbon commission headed by Los Angeles' leading statesman, former Secretary of State Warren Christopher, dissected the L.A.P.D and indicted the department for a systematic failure to curb police abuses.
		Perhaps most important, the Commission sought to strengthen civilian oversight by proposing that a full-time Inspector General be appointed, under the civilian Police Commission that theoretically oversees the department, to audit the L.A.P.D.'s performance.
		Repeatedly, Chief Bernard Parks assured the public and the Police Commission that the police department was aggressively implementing the Christopher Commission proposals.

		And according to Coye, those weaknesses include failure to define whether the commission is quasi-judicial in capacity or limited to investigations, fundamental functions which need to be clarified.
		Today, the Commission cannot even force members of the public service to declare income and assets for verification...and has resorted to appealing for assistance to both the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition to have their party members comply with the law.
		While Coye admits that the forms are complicated, the Chairman contends that even those people who do complete the paperwork have to be accepted at their oath because there have never been any complaints from the public on the information submitted in the declarations.

		One of the Christopher Commission findings was that the Department needed to undergo a fundamental transformation from a traditional style of policing, to one that is more responsive to its community and citizens' perceived needs.

		But the Christopher Commission did not have the power to see that its recommendations were carried out.

		The Los Angeles Police Commission’s 4-1 decision to reject Chief Bernard C. Parks’ bid for a second five-year term presents the organized Jewish community with an important opportunity to speak out forcefully in support of its historic agenda promoting police reform.
		In the wake of the Police Commission’s decision and Parks’ announced intent to continue fighting for his job, the political furor is unlikely to end any time soon.
		He has not demonstrated the willingness or ability to alter the internal LAPD culture that stands as an impediment to fulfilling the voters’ mandate for the Christopher Commission’s systemic reforms and which threatens the recurrence of more Rampart-type scandals.

		In its report on the Los Angeles Police Department in the aftermath of the March 1991 beating of Rodney King, the Christopher Commission confirmed a long held suspicion: A small number of officers were involved in an extraordinarily high percentage of use-of-force incidents.

		For example, according to the Christopher Commission the taxpayers of Los Angeles spent $67.5 million between 1991 and 1995 to resolve lawsuits brought by victims of police abuse.
