OVERVIEW . ., :f:Iistorically on Halloween, large numbers of pedest- ~i:~~ and _vehicles converge upon Hollywood area. They primarily congregate · ·on Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards between La Brea and Gower. A · crowd of approximately 100,000 is expected this Halloween. Most will be celebrating Halloween in one way or another and watching the pedestrians dressed in costumes. However in 1988, the crowd often occupied the entire roadway. There were numerous incidents of beer throwing, sporadic rock and bottle throwing and other disturbance related -activities. Several arrests were made pursuant to these criminal violations. Eventually, the crowd became very unruly, completely occupying the intersections of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue plus Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Avenue. Rocks and bottles were being thrown at officers. A major disturbance involving window smashing was reported. Numerous large and unruly groups were throwing rocks and bottles and · surging onto the entire roadway. The wiqely separated groups of officers became tactically disadvantaged and in danger. It was also apparent that the crowd was an unlawful assembly and eventually would have to be dispersed with ·squad .formations. In order to facilitate this plan, the Task Force officers, Metropolitan Division officers, the Mounted Unit, and all the Motor Units were assembled on Cherokee Avenue north of Hollywood Boulevard. Five squads of task force officers, two squads of Metropolitan officers, one squad of CRASH officers and two squads from the Mounted Unit were deployed to clear Hollywood Boulevard of the now unlawfully assembled and • unruly crowd. The after action investigation indicated that alcohol being sold to minors and other pedestrians was a major contributing factor to the mob violenqe. Every effort will be made to prevent a recurrence. Field Task Force officers will be very high profile in their enforcement of alcohol related laws. Due to this experience, the effort for 1989 wil1 include a significantly increased field force. In order to provide additional crime suppression, crowd control and to provide sufficient traffic control, the following plan will be implemented. .. . . .. . • . - . . · - • . . . . . . r· : ~ - .. .. _.. -:- . • 1989 HALLOWEEN OPERATIONS Page 3 6· . l A.

The hostile members of the crowd have ;usually been relatively small in number but have included sophisticated political demonstrators, Hispanic and Black gang members, punk rockers, cruisers and low riders, Hollywood street people and a very large contingent of on-lookers. However, this is not always the case. Last year, 1988, we experienced a riotous crowd of over 100,000 that completely overran Hollywood Boulevard between Vine and Highland. The situation eventually escalated into a riot with looting and wide-spread destruction. Over 100 officers plus two squads of mounted officers were required to disperse the crowd. Of primary importance to the Department is the potential for unlawful activity and the Department's ability to respond with sufficient manpower to control these activities. In addition, the Department is concerned with maintaining control of access routes for police, fire and medical response vehicles. On October 31, 1989, the following activities are known to be occurring in the effected area.

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.
