The LAPD is currently investigating allegations of racist and derogatory comments made by officers assigned to the recruiting office. This news comes shortly after new Police Chief Jim McDonnell's appointment, who expressed disgust over the situation and confirmed that the involved officers have been removed from their duties. The allegations involve derogatory statements made against Black recruits and LGBTQ+ colleagues, leading to a significant setback in the LAPD's recruitment efforts, which he aims to improve. The investigation is ongoing, with appropriate actions expected to follow upon completion.
Chief McDonnell emphasized, "We're just disgusted with what we heard... the investigation will go on, appropriate action will be taken."
McDonnell stated, "This is a major setback for all of us," reflecting the significant impact these allegations have on the LAPD's recruitment efforts.
