Los Angeles Police Department
O'Melveny & Myers

Los Angeles, CA 90071
Dear Warren:
Affiliated with
The National Urban League
Member, United Way, Inc.
Contributions tax deductible.
The Los Angeles Urban League commends the
Independent Commission on the Los Angeles
Police Department for its outstanding, bold
and comprehensive report.
If implemented, the Commission's
recommendations will bring about urgently
needed structural reforms and significantly
reduce the rampant acts of brutality and
racism evidenced by the brutal Rodney King
beating, and change the current climate within
the Los Angeles Police Department.
It is imperative that all of these reforms be
implemented in the very near future.
Regrettably, Chief Daryl Gates' initial
response and behavior have been very
detrimental.
However, the future of our extremely racially
and ethnically diversified city depends upon
the implementation of the Commission's entire
package of recommendations.
The Urban League will be an active and
constructive participant in this process. We
look forward to working with the Independent
Commission and other private and public sector
leadership toward that end.
We are
members
service.
deeply grateful
and staff for
to the Commission
your great public
