Nearly two months ago I took this chair for the first time and offered my thoughts on taking this very important position. At that time, I promised I would return to you with the initiatives I would like the Commission to support as we move forward. In that short time, I have dedicated myself to hearing the concerns of as many of our City’s residents as possible. I have spoken with community leaders, clergy, elected officials and everyday Angelinos. I have listened to those who have raised their concerns in our commission meetings. I have met with many members of the LAPD, from Command Staff to the rank and file. Today I am setting forth my agenda as Police Commission President. I am also requesting a series of audits and reports from both the Department and the Inspector General to achieve these goals.

As they drove northbound on North Soto Street, they observed a male individual obstructing vehicle traffic.

As the driver officer exited their police vehicle, he observed the handle of a handgun protruding from the suspect's (later identified as Alfredo Santibanez) jacket pocket and immediately voiced his observation to his partner.

ICE's request to join the network was unanimously approved Feb. 23.
