Final Report Pre
As you have requested, the staff submits the below list
of recommendations regarding the non-substantive or logistical
aspects of preparing the Final Report. Until final agreement is
reached on the distribution system(s), we cannot confirm the
number of copies. Neither . can we confirm the size of the Report,
although we estimate that it will reach 200 pages.
It is recommended that:
o The Report be printed on both sides of full-size paper.
o The Report be accompanied by a 25 page (or less)
Executive Summary and an Appendix.
o The Executive Summary be written or at least edited by
a professional writer experienced in these kinds of
documents.
o The Executive Summary be the principal vehicle for
distribution of the Report findings to the general
public in Los Angeles and elsewhere.
o The Executive Summary be published in English and
Spanish.
o The value and perceived need to publish the Executive
Summary in Korean and/or Chinese be further considered.
o The Executive Summary (in its various languages), the
Report and the Appendix all be released at the same
moment.
o The Report and Appendix be written and printed in
English -only.
o The Report include some charts, graphs and photographs
which visually communicate the substance and spirit of
the Report.
o The Executive Summary have an attractive cover and
include some color.
o The Report be published using the combination of desk
top publishing, commercial printing and binding.
o To maintain security for the Report and its findings
until the public and press announcements are held, we
need to use a "financial" printed in Los Angeles
County. (This should either be a union print shop
experienced in producing large volumes on an overnight
basis, or a large printing operation who could assure
confidentiality and who would donate the services).
o If accurate translation and other-than-English printing
is required, credentialed translation and printing
resources be solicited from members and leaders of the
subject communities through their respective bar
associations and other professional organizations.
o We distribute free copies of the Executive Summary to
various organizations and the public.
o Established community groups and agencies in the riot
afflicted areas of Los Angeles be considered as part of
the distribution chain for getting large supplies of
the Executive summary to their membership and
neighborhoods.
o The full Report and its Appendix material be
distributed to an identified list of official agencies
in Los Angeles and elsewhere free of charge.
o A facilitation house would be the most effective
mechanism for distribution of the Report. As a matter
of course, they handle mailing of requested single
copies of the Report or Executive Summary free of
charge to the requestor. They will also send multiple
copies to organizations who pay a nominal mailing and
handling charge while the supplies last.
o A mailing house arrangement be made for the benefit of
the Los Angeles Police Commission to facilitate
distribution and handling of requests for copies after
this office is closed.

o A similar arrangement should perhaps be considered with
The Police Foundation to serve nation-wide requests
from other police departments.
o Distribution of subsequent copies not only pay for the
actual handling costs but be a source of revenue or
restitution to these two group for assisting this
study.
We will continue to move forward with the details and
further research. Please advise of any change or need to modify
these recommendations.

Title
Los Angeles Webster Commission records, 1931-1992
Description
Chaired by former federal judge and FBI and CIA Director William H. Webster, the Los Angeles Webster Commission assessed law enforcement's performance in connection with the April, 1992 Los Angeles civil unrest. The collection consists of materials collected and studied by the Commission over the course of its investigation. Materials pertain to both the Los Angeles incident specifically, and civil disturbance, civil unrest control, and policing tactics in general.
Included in the collection are the following: interviews with LAPD officers, law enforcement personnel, government officials, community leaders, and activists; articles, broadcasts, and press releases covering the civil unrest; various tactical and contingency plans created for disasters and emergencies; reports, studies, and manuals about civil unrest control and prevention; literature about community-based policing strategies; emergency plans and procedures developed by other cities; and after-action reports issued once the civil unrest had subsided. Also featured are items related to the internal operations of the LAPD both before and during the civil unrest, including activity reports, meeting agendas and minutes, arrest data, annual reports, curricula and educational materials, and personnel rosters.
