how the diversity of our city oan beet be acknowledged. The
implementation of these recommendations should create, by word and
by deed, a clear message that it is unacceptable for a police
officer to display prsjudics toward any resident of this city,
including lesbians and gay men.
Obviously, the attitudes which oause prsjudics oan not bs
eliminated overnight. However, the oonduot which is ths
manifsstation of such prsjudics can bs ssvsrsly curbsd by clear
standards and msssagss from ths leadership of the Los Angeles
Police Department, appropriate sanctions for violations of those
standards, and a constant dialogue with ths local communities
served. Substantive change and symbolic measures must go hand in
hand for ths L.A.P.D. to send a clear msssags to its officers that
all residents of this city must be trsated with equal respect.
In this contsxt, ons way to look at ths Polios Commission is as a
quasi-judicial guardian of civil and constitutional rights, and as
a facilitator of meaningful dialogue between ths L.A.P.D. and the
communities it serves. It may also bs ths Polics Commission's role
to establish mechanisms to snsurs that tha Chlsf of Police is
accountable to local communities.
Clearly, whatever the vehiole fcr change--be it an empowered Police
Commission or soma other body—the end result must be institutional
reform which acknowledges the diversity of our city. Only then,
