o 50 involved wrongful deaths, shootings and injuries

The Internal Affairs Division indicated that 36 of the 140 cases

Research Methodology
The City Clerk provided this Office with information relative to
Police litigation for the year 1990. For the years 1986-1989 we
relied on the files of the City Attorney. Due to time limits
and inconsistencies in record keeping between the City Clerk and
the City Attorney, we may not have a complete accounting of
each and every case settled, or for which the City paid a
judgement during the five year period of review.
Information relative to the occurrences of discipline and the
type of discipline and/or investigation conducted was provided
by the Internal Affairs Division of the Los Angeles Police
Department and released by the Chief of Police in an expeditious
manner.
Due to the sensitive and confidential nature of the information
we received from the Internal Affairs Division, and on the
advice of the City Attorney, we have provided you with a summary
