of compiling it, but has to give . . . feels
he has to give the results to Chief Gates
before we can have access to them.
The reason I asked the question is because
it's my feeling that every successful big
business -- and the L.A.P.D. is a big
business — usually invites input from its
employees as to how to better render service
to its customers. And they have a suggestion
box for it. And since this Rodney King
incident was such a slap in in
every one of the 8300 people
weekends when they home and talking to
friends and neighbors, I was wondering if
your suggestion box, if there is such a
thing, is overflowing. I think your answer
is that that's an effort to milk that
suggestion box.
Exactly. That's exactly what we're doing.
As a matter of fact, we also put out a notice
that went department wide last week asking
anybody who wasn't picked by the computer,
and we have several hundred that have
volunteered. There's a tremendous sense of
anxiety in the organization of people looking
for anybody to talk to at this point. That's
what I meant to tell you, if there's any good
to come out of the Rodney King incident, the
organization has really opened up and they
want to talk.
Would it be possible, do you think, for the
commission to have the results of that
information before we wind up here at the end
of the month.
I think so. Like I said, we're working on a
pretty antiquated system. We're doing hand
tallies of everything.
I did offer our help on that but he turned us
down.
So, you now, I think so, but again, I think
obviously the Chief has commissioned me to do
this, I'd like him to see it first. But I
don't think it's going to be a problem.
Commander, I may have missed this . . . early
in the morning . . . when we were talking
about the FTOs, which I think we all think is
