                  LA Community Policing will carefully follow the process of selecting a new LAPD Chief, just as we did in 2002 when William Bratton was chosen. To see how we covered things back then simply click here: Choosing A Chief - 2002 . Below you'll find the just released schedule of community meetings, four this time, designed to help the Police Commission determine what it is the public wishes to see in it's next Chief of Police.
