title: LAPD database graphs (2 of 2), 1991 July

description: A variety of graphs, charts, tables, and figures produced from statistics within the LAPD's database (2 of 2), 1991 July. Most of these figures pertain to police misconduct, including personnel complaints, allegations of excessive force and/or improper tactics, and penalties issued to noncompliant officers. Other figures pertain to training and academy curricula, and arrest rates according to ethnicity. PART OF A SERIES: To ascertain misconduct on the part of LAPD officers, the Independent Commission set out to probe databases maintained by the LAPD related to four areas: personnel complaints, use of force, officer-involved shootings (OIS), and the use of dogs (K-9). This task was delegated to the firm Freeman & Mills, which was responsible for obtaining these databases from the LAPD, converting pertinent data into useable formats, creating additional databases of additional information, and analyzing its findings. The series contains items related to Freeman & Mills' work product, including numerous analyses of use-of-force, OIS, and K-9 data; weekly complaint summary printouts; graphs, charts, tables, and other visual representations of this data; and computer directory lists that provide the names and locations of files within the LAPD's databases. At the end of the series is a draft copy of the Independent Commission's final report, which incorporates many of the aforementioned data and figures.1. Note re graph drafts, 1991-07-072. III-1.
