From: D. Huebner
Attached for your information is a letter which I received
from Patrick Maher (the POST instructor whom I interviewed last
month). Enclosed with the letter were the following items,
copies of which are being sent to Sue Morgan and Lucy Dewell:
(1) Sherri Sweetman, "Report on the Attorney General's
Conference on Less Than Lethal Weapons," National
Institute of Justice, March 1987.
(2) Robert Wasserman and Mark H. Moore, "Values in
Policing," Perspectives on Policing series no. 8,
National Institute of Justice, November 1988.
(3) Diskette containing 44 pages of citations from the
National Criminal Justice Reference Service
related to use of "non-lethal weapons" by law
enforcement officers.
In his letter, Mr. Maher offers additional assistance in
the area of promotional examinations and promotions. Feel free
to contact Mr. Maher directly if you like; he is very
accessible.
Dictated but not read.

(714) 821-3882
Enclosed is some additional information that I have obtained that
might be of interest to the Commission.
The disk contains a search by the National Criminal Justice
Reference Service of their files for all references related to
non-lethal weapons in law enforcement. It contains files in
ASCII format (ASC extension) and converted from Wordstar to
WordPerfect (WPF extension). Your IBM word processors should be
able to read one of the files. If not, let me know and I can
make a hard-copy.
I have also enclosed some additional documents that appear
relevant to the issues being investigated by the Commission.
I noted recently that there was some effort to examine
promotional practices. One particular area of expertise I have
is that of promotional systems and procedures, having designed
numerous promotional examinations for police sergeant through
police chief. If there is a need for information in that area, I
might be of some assistance.
Sincerely,
fdC
Patrick T. Maher
Object Description
| Title | Witness file - Maher, Patrick, 1984 Sept. 7 - 1991 June 3 |
| Description | Witness file - Maher, Patrick, 1984 September 7 - 1991 June 3. PART OF A SERIES: The circumstances surrounding the beating of Rodney King led many to believe that the incident was racially motivated and reflected a spirit of bias and discrimination within the LAPD. Irell & Manella analyzed in depth the LAPD's recruitment, hiring, training, and promotion practices to determine if bias and intolerance were in fact pervasive issues within the Department. The series includes materials related to Irell and Manella's work product, including the firm’s correspondence; summaries of personnel files for potential recruits; records of the Leon Panduro case, in which a citizen was shot by a probationary officer; minutes from the LAPD Professional Advisory Committee maintained between 1983 and 1991; witness files, which consist of written testimony and supplemental materials; and notes, outlines, and drafts maintained over the course of Irell and Manella’s investigation. |
