The LAPD does not adequately monitor officers who train new hires, leading to a culture of hazing and instructing recruits to 'forget everything you learned in the academy.'
Interim Inspector General Florence Yu's report highlighted that probationary officers face 'rites of passage' akin to hazing, emphasizing a lack of clear policies on acceptable training practices.
The study revealed a failure in tracking probationary officers sufficiently during their training, with only half rotating with required different instructors, raising concerns over proper guidance.
Due to the LAPD's reliance on paper records, oversight officials struggled to determine the identities of field training officers, emphasizing a need for improved documentation and monitoring.
