Latino officers are now LAPD’s majority
Tagged: California, Los Angeles, police
Latino officers now outnumber whites in the Los Angeles Police Department, but the LAPD still doesn’t promote enough Latinos, blacks, Asians and women to high-ranking positions as required by a federal consent decree, according to a report released Tuesday.
As of January, there were 3,787 Latino officers in the LAPD and 3,770 white officers, according to the quarterly report named after the 16-year-old federal consent decree that forced the department to increase the hiring and promotion of minority officers. There are 1,183 black officers.
The report found the LAPD has met 47 percent of the promotional goals – with the majority of the noncompliance within the rank of Latino officers.”*
