The report found that Black and Latino people made up for over 75% of LAPD arrests between 2019 and 2022.
The Los Angeles Police Department arrested Black and Hispanic/Latino people at a “disproportionate rate” — an average of 78.26% of all arrests between 2019 to 2022, despite such residents making up 56% of the city’s population — according to a report released Wednesday by City Controller Kenneth Mejia.
Mejia’s office released a map and analysis of nearly 300,000 arrests by the LAPD in the past four years. The data came from the LAPD and “marks the first time the data has been made accessible and mapped for the public without limitations,” the report says. Specifically, the report says that between 2019 and 2022, Hispanics/Latinos made up 51% of LAPD arrests, with Black people next at 27% and Whites 16%. Hispanics/Latinos make up 48% of the population, compared to Black people at 8% and Whites at 29%.The full report can be found at
