oppoeed the idea that private acta by consenting eddt homosexuals be

Gordon Winton threatened him with forcible expdelon from the criminal
procedure committee hearing room. Diacueelng s demonstration by the

Inevitably, then, the LAPD intelligence dvision personnel
became aelf-defined sntlcommunist experts, collecting Information and
compiling dossiers on dleged redcds. The "professional" police
depertment, though free of the control once exerted by the Chamber of
Commerce, continued to do its work in the tradtion of James E. Davis,
W. "Red" Hynes, and Earl E. Kynette. unfortunately, the police utilized
extremely broad definitions of radical, communist, and subversive. They
found such people everywhere, especially In the developing civil rights
movement.
William Parker, devout Christian and police professional, was
dso a devout white man. Or so Negroes, Mexican-Americans and white
liberals believed. Allegations concerning Chief Parker's reactionary
redd sentiments drcdated early in his term and grew with the years.

| Description | Joseph Gerald Woods. The progressives and the police: urban reformers and the professionalization of the Los Angeles police. University of California, Los Angeles (Ph.D., history), 1973. Published by University Microfilms International (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA), 1982. PART OF A SERIES: A critical component of the Commission's investigation centered on the idea that governance of the LAPD was shared between the Office of the Chief of Police, an administrative body, and the Board of Police Commissioners, a citizen body. To better understand the dynamic between these two entities, the staff of Heller, Ehrman, White, & McAuliffe researched the history of the Los Angeles City Charter, focusing primarily on its provisions regarding the distribution of power and the structure and organization of the LAPD. Included in the series are reproductions of reports, dissertations, article clippings, excerpts from city documents, and charter amendments related to the charter's conception and development over time. The series also includes several summaries of expert witness interviews regarding the effectiveness of this structure. |
