From: Ken Heitz
Diann Kim
Pursuant to your request et the last meeting of Deputy General Counsel,
we have complied the following list of issues which have arisen In conjunction
with the interviews conducted to date by the lnteragency Group with the Los
Angeles Fire Department, the Office of Emergency Services, the California
Highway Patrol, the California National Guard and federal law enforcement.
A. Los Angeles Flra Dapartment
1 . Why was the high priority for providing Fire Department escorts,
which was established at the upper level of the Los Angeles Police
Department command, not effectively transmitted to the Field
Command at 54th and Arlington so It could be implemented.
2. The general lack of organization and command structure that
appears to have plagued the 54th and Arlington site during the
first twelve hours of the disturbance.
3. Why was there no senior level LAPO liaison designated for the Fire
Department.
4. The lnablllty of the LAPO to effectively and efficiently configure
the staging area et 54th and Arlington.
5. Why was there such difficulty and delay in implementing an escort
program for the Fire Department. This relates to e general issue
that there appear to hava been hundreds of working level LAPD
officers mllllng around at 54th and Arlington expressing frustration
at not being able to get assignments.

6. The lack of a command system sufficiently organized to qulckly
plug In mutual aid asslstarice frorn other law enforcement
agencies into functions like Fire Department escorts.
7. Actual escort difficulties:
• Assigned LAPD escorts leaving Fire Department strike
teams In the field to attend to other matters;
• LAPD escorts leaving Fire Department strike teams at shift
change time (the "It's time to go home now" Issue);
• Geographical limits on the jurisdiction of LAPO escorts for
Fire Department strike teams.
Office of Emargency Services
1 . Failure to understand and utilize the law enforcement mutual aid
system:
• It Is quicker to call the California Highway Patrol for mutual
assistance than to call in the California National Guard;
• Other police departments may also provide Quicker, more
experienced assistance then the California National Guard .
2. Lack of planning for potential National Guard involvement.
Contrast the California Highway Patrol operations at Los Alamitos
with LAPC's mlnlmal utilization of OES resources.
California Highway Patrol
1. Leck of inclusion of CHP In LAPD planning.
2. Delays in utilizing 750 CHP officers available by midnight on April
29th.
Callfgrnia National Guard
1 . Problem with federalization of troops.

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.
