The men and women of the LASPD work directly with administrators, teachers, students and parents to ensure a safe environment where learning can take place. Regrettably, L.A. Weekly missed an opportunity to report on the outstanding work being done by the rest of the department.

I am the parent of three LAUSD students and throughout the years I have had several interactions with some school officers. I must say that for the most part I have always been impressed by how professional they have been. That said, it seems according to this article that their leadership needs some work.

This author missed the chance to comment on the positive work the men and women of the LASPD do for the children of the Los Angeles Unified School District on a daily basis. These men and women put their lives on the line every day and do an extremely professional job. It is true that there is no department with out its flaws, or bad officers, including the LASPD. The Chief and his entire command staff need to be held accountable for the decisions they choose to make or not to make. The department needs some competent managers and leaders, and not people put in positions of power because they can take a test well.
This article lost all credibility when it quoted someone like Paul Quezada, and let’s set the record straight he is not president of the department’s sergeant’s union, and he is currently under numerous internal affairs investigations by the department. This is where most of the misinformation for this article came from. Quezada is a person that has tried unsuccessfully to discredit the name of the LASPD for years. If this author is looking for a story he should do one on Quesada for embezzling union funds while he was union president.

As an avid L.A. Weekly reader and financial supporter from its inception (not a Johnny-come-lately, self-serving, job seeking leech), maybe we should contact the L.A. Weekly staff about your agenda! L.A. Weekly/residents/readers deserve better.
