LASD Sheriff Held Fiscally Liable For Inmate Abuse

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 …

USC Campus Ramps Up Security

Representatives at the University of Southern California (USC) have confirmed the campus is taking steps to ramp up security.

This, according to campus officials, is linked to gunfire that took place this time last year after a Halloween party.   Since that time, campus perimeter gates have been closed after dark and an additional law enforcement presence has been added.

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 …

Supervisors Approve Musick Jail Expansion

Phase two of the James A. Musick Jail expansion project has been officially green lighted by the Orange County Board of Supervisors.

A first expansion at the Irvine facility was approved last December, and at that time, the board had allocated $100 million in state grant monies to fund construction that would ultimately add 512 beds.

The OC Sheriff's Department has confirmed that the design for phase one is already underway.

Now, the county is waiting to hear back from Sacramento to learn whether $80 million of that grant can be reallocated to fund what they describe as being phase two. Phase …

Inmates At Orange County Jails Help To Train Abandoned Dogs

Each hear, thousands of dogs throughout the country are abandoned by their owners.

Those with sweet temperaments are frequently adopted.

At the same time, not all owners train their pets to have appropriate manners.

A spokesperson for the Orange County jails said they have partnered with a local nonprofit and together, they are working with shelters to help train abandoned dogs.

The results seem to speak for themselves.   The inmates spend about eight weeks with their furry friends and teach them basic commands like sit, speak, shake and roll over.  It's a win for the dogs, because this makes them more adoptable.

It's also …

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 …

Unusual Laws in Alaska
Alaska is the home of grizzly bears and Mount McKinley, plus a few unusual laws.

There are approximately 732,000 residents living in Alaska, making it the fourth least-populated state in the United States.

With such a low population, it is no surprise that the most unusual Alaska laws deal more with crimes against animals than other people.
The wrong way to travel with your pet…
