Despite his accomplishments, the LAPD management assigned a lieutenant and ten officers to constantly harass and endanger Grobeson s life. Three years of being denied a partner and no back up ultimately forced Grobeson s resignation in 1988. He was the first to publicly discuss allowing gays and lesbians to become deputies in West Hollywood. Grobeson has been requested to assist as a consultant on gay-police relations and recruitment by city officials and community groups in Cathedral City, Laguna Beach, Long Beach, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and Tucson, Arizona. Locations and times for all events will be announced.
All activities are open to the public.
