Tha chief also found communis to in the ghetto. He eld mad thst
"C2," ths intelligence dvielon, identified members of the Progressive
Labor Party end the Communist Party working to etlr unrest in the black
area. Newcomers hed "neutralized" the older bleck lssdershlp. Perker

"C2'e" dscovery of "communists" provided evidence of Perker'e
continuing misuse of the intelligence dvielon. In theory, the equad
fought organized crime; in practice, it seemed dweys involved in political activities. During the 30's, the "machine" chief, J. E. Devls,
used the squad to spy on "subversives" vho opposed the Frank Shew ed-
miniatration. The "reform" chief, W. H. Parker, dd much the ease
thing. Policemen, possessing no more expertise than a high school
diploma implied, appointed themselves judges in e polltlcd lnqdsitlon,
snd convicted of heresy dvil rights activists, polltlcd dssenters,
"hippies," homosexuds, var protesters, and dl other critics of police.
Mayor Sam Yorty, himself a victim of the old intelligence aquad,
made no complaint about the nev equad*a actions. Perhaps he dd not
cere to remember, or have publicized, his earlier place in the police
files aa a subversive radical. By 1963, the LAPD had become so dli-
tantly antlradcal that members formed e special unit, the Fire and
Police Research Organization (FiPo) to ded with polltlcd problems.

| 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. |
