The police dept. would be instructed to determine

for the lack of promet. ion of minorities or females
various ranks.
The plan says the police dept. will have to award
back pay and seniority to those who passed the new
selection procedure retroactive to date of their
elimination from employment consideration..
The LAPD must notify blacks~ mexicans, female
applicants who were eliminated from consideration
in the last 2 years because of existing unsatis--
factory procedures to reapply'for positions.:
g. The police dept. must set goals and timetables to
adjust the racial and ethnic composition of
candidates to that of the labor force within the -
next ~ years· Therefore the police de~t. must be

Indian and Asian. They must seek to hire the 1st
year of agreement as many women as needed to
constitute 20% of the force.
Their trainin~ Academy is to be shut down June 30th of this yqar.
This letter a so stated that if there i~ any ~C~on the part
of 'the LEiA that the police dept. of L.~. has taken the actiom~
.discussed LE~t may take administrative action to withhold funds.
It may also take judicial action concerning any other federal'
funds coming to the city of L.A. ~
The LEAA cites Section %18 of the Equal Employement Opportunities
Act for their right to do this·
i!so LEAA h~s a'llecated~8.4 million to the LIPD for sUch.programs.
this fiscal year, as: Emergency command control network, media
instruction for law enforcement, completion of automation
communication networks, robbery alarm, detection response,
vehicle theft and rapid response to crimes· Of this amount ~192~000
has been allocated to the city attorneys office.
It is becoming more apparent that when ever federal funds are
taken local control is decreased. In the case of law enforcement
there should be great concern. k~.en and if' the federal gov't
controls all law enforcements thru dictates such as those just
listed then we are well on the way to a National Police Force.
So I ask you to look into this resolution concerning our o~
police dept. very carefully before you give permission to
participate.
