Letters to the Editor: Why private fundraising is a bad look for the LAPD (via latimesopinion)
As an L.A. taxpayer, I don’t necessarily have a problem with philanthropic foundations raising money to support law enforcement. But there does seem to be something unseemly about a police chief giving special access to wealthy donors. And, naming rights for LAPD facilities seems odd at best.
It doesn’t necessarily stink to high heavens, but there is a need for more transparency from both the LAPD and the Los Angeles Police Foundation. Further, it does seem that citizens can properly fund our police department without a scenario in which wealthy individuals and organizations obtain special access to the LAPD.Investigative reporting is a wonderful and valuable service to help us all understand what is going on in areas to which we have low exposure.
