Records from over 200 board of rights hearings reveal a pattern of repeated selections of a small group of lawyers and arbitrators, which raises concerns about biased outcomes.
Criticism has been aimed at the board of rights system, particularly regarding its tendency to retain officers with serious misconduct records, leading to calls for reassessment of member qualifications.
Data highlights an imbalance in selection for board panels where 10 out of 65 examiners dominate the appointments, questioning the diversity and impartiality of the decision-makers.
The Los Angeles Police Commission's recent decision to reassess board qualifications comes in light of ongoing issues with accountability among officers accused of serious legal and ethical violations.
