The LAPD is working with prosecutors to determine whether any criminal cases are tied to officers accused of falsifying gang identifications.
of the LAPD’s elite Metro Division falsely portrayed people as gang members is also prompting questions about whether the claims will affect ongoing criminal cases involving the accused officers.
So far, the Los Angeles County district attorney is looking at potential criminal charges against one officer. Moore said 10 officers have been assigned to home and have had their police powers suspended. Another 10 have been removed from the street because investigators have found discrepancies in their work and “don’t know if it’s inaccuracies or falsehoods,” Moore said.
“Police are the guardians of our community,” Gascon said. “When our guardians betray the public’s trust, it is incumbent upon the district attorney to safeguard the integrity of the system by ensuring that betrayal does not undermine the fair administration of justice.”Lacey’s office said it was investigating the matter but did not address detailed questions from The Times.
