LASD Sheriff Lee Baca has been found to be personally liable for instances of inmate abuse that took place at the LA County Jail.

This, according to sources close to the case, means Baca may need to shell out upward of $100,000 of his own monies in order to settle the case.   The LASD is reportedly appalled by the decision and have said they intend to appeal the ruling.

The Department further notes this is the first time a Sheriff has been held personally liable in this type of case.

The case originated in late 2010 after a Men's Central Jail inmate …

Proponents of this change also point out that two graduate students were shot and killed in their car in an area not far from the school.

Undergraduate students said they had been wary about whether they'd be safe on the University's grounds, but …

LAPD To Test Drive Electric Motorcycles

In years past, LAPD patrol officers have most commonly been seen driving BMW motorcycles, Harley-Davidsons or the standard police cruiser.  Now, sources inside the department say they have started to test two different flavors of electric motorcycles.

They're more lightweight than their Harley and BMW counterparts. They are also more eco-friendly and are significantly lighter.  Officers say these bikes have been specifically designed for use by those in law enforcement.  The added bonus, they point out, is that these devices cost about $1 per day to charge.

All current price of gas considered, this can equate to tens, if not hundreds …

Pitchess Detention Center Could Get Womens’ Facility

The LA County Board of Supervisors has confirmed they are considering a plan that would construct a women's village at the Pitchess Detention Center.

The official proposal was submitted earlier this week by an LA-based construction management company.  The woman's village is just one-part of a multi-prong solution to replacing the Men's Central Jail.  That replacement of that facility has long been on the county's chopping block.

Proponents of the demolition reportedly say the facility is very old, outdated and too expensive to run.  They have been advocating for a plan that involves tearing it down and constructing upgraded facilities. The …
