One of the central questions raised by the FBI's announced investigation of an LAPD gang unit is whether department officials could or should have known about the alleged misconduct sooner.
The FBI has joined an investigation of several Los Angeles Police Department gang officers who are suspected of questionable tactics during traffic stops.“I believe in the vast majority of the men and women of this department, I believe that they go out every day and they do outstanding work,” Moore said.
As the investigation widened, Moore said, officials uncovered a pattern of similar deception by other members of the unit, formally known as the Mission Division Gang Enforcement Detail. While some big city departments have entire units dedicated to auditing footage, in Los Angeles videos are usually only reviewed after a use of force incident or complaint.
The LAPD is partnering with academic researchers to use artificial intelligence to study how officers speak to the public, but officials have signaled that the findings would be used solely for training purposes, meaning any misconduct uncovered would be unlikely to lead to discipline.
