Los-Anjeles okrugi sherifining bo'limi.
2009 yilda shahar hokimi Erik Perrodin va Kengash a'zolari Kompton politsiya bo'limini qayta tiklash imkoniyatlarini o'rganish uchun Kompton politsiya xizmatlarining texnik-iqtisodiy asoslarini ishlab chiqish guruhini tuzdilar. Loyiha direktori Jozef T. Rouzan, kichik - Kompton politsiyasining sobiq boshlig'i. 2011 yil 8 martda ikki yil o'tgach, shahar hokimi Perrodin o'zining kengashi hamkasblari tomonidan qo'llab-quvvatlanmagani uchun taklifni qaytarib oldi.
Tarix
Kompton shahri pirovardida edi[shubhali ] Los-Anjeles atrofidagi o'rta sinf shahar atrofi jamoasi[iqtibos kerak ] Los-Anjelesdan 11 mil uzoqlikda va Long Beach Makondan shuncha mil uzoqlikda joylashganligi sababli Hub Siti deb nomlangan. Shahar politsiyasi 1888 yilda, Kompton shahri bo'lganida tashkil etilgan kiritilgan. Kompton shahri politsiyasi Kompton shahriga va shahar tashqarisidagi hududlarga, masalan, Willowbrook jamoasiga xizmat qilgan.
Kompton shahridagi dastlabki huquqni muhofaza qilish organlari
Komptonning eng qadimgi ko'chmanchilari, hozirgi aholisi singari, avtonomiyani xohlagan. Yozuvlarni qidirish shuni ko'rsatadiki, bunday maqsadga erishish har doim ham oson bo'lmagan.
Tafsilotlar biroz chizilgan bo'lsa-da, mavjud hujjatlar va jurnallar Komptonda vakolatli huquqni muhofaza qilish organlarining rivojlanishi evolyutsion jarayonlarda rivojlanganligini ko'rsatadi.
1888 yil 14-mayda rasmiy ro'yxatdan o'tgan kundan uch kun o'tgach, Compton Vasiylik kengashining birinchi yig'ilishida ushbu yangi saylangan mansabdorlar fuqarolarning politsiya himoyasi uchun Los-Anjeles okrugi sherifiga majburiy bo'lishni istamasligini tan oldilar. shahar marshalini tayinladi. Ushbu lavozimga Asbury Makkomas ism berildi, u mahalliy jigar otxonasiga ham egalik qildi.
Ikki haftadan so'ng, 28 may kuni Vasiylik kengashi politsiya ishlari bo'yicha birinchi qo'mitani tashkil qildi va shahar marshalining ish haqini har yili 100 AQSh dollari qilib belgilab qo'ydi.
Tez orada City Marshalning idorasida biron bir narsa noto'g'ri ekanligi aniq bo'ldi. Ba'zi keng tarqalgan ayblovlarni tekshirgandan so'ng, 1888 yil 31 dekabrda Vasiylik kengashining maxsus yig'ilishi bo'lib o'tdi va Makkomasga qarshi rasmiy ayblovlar e'lon qilindi. Shahar otalari Marshal litsenziya to'lovlari va itlar uchun soliqlarni shahar xazinachisiga topshirmayapti, degan xulosaga kelishdi, chunki u qonuniy ravishda majburiy bo'lgan. Undan pulni to'lashni va iste'foga chiqishni so'rashdi.
Bir hafta o'tgach, shahar marshali Asbury Makkomas rasmiy ravishda iste'foga chiqdi. Yozuvlarda u soliqlarni shaharga topshirganmi yoki yo'qmi ko'rsatilmagan. Kompton tarixining birida, birinchi shahar marshali, politsiya sudyasi va ko'cha boshlig'i tayinlanganligi haqida aytilgan, 5000 dollargacha bo'lgan zayomlar "asosiy ofitserlar" uchun belgilab qo'yilgan. Bular orasida Makkomas ham bor-yo'qligi noma'lum, ammo agar shunday bo'lsa, bu shahar o'z mablag'larini qoplash uchun vosita bo'lar edi.
CW Lyman McComas o'rnini egalladi va Marshalning ish haqi oyiga 15 AQSh dollarigacha va it solig'ining 10 foizigacha ko'tarildi.
Vasiylik kengashining 1889 yil 22-iyuldagi bayonnomasiga kiritilgan yozuv shuni ko'rsatadiki, Marshal Lyman "mast ayolga g'amxo'rlik qilgani" uchun 1,95 dollar to'lagan.
1890 yilda G.F. Uillits Laymanning o'rnini shahar marshali qilib oldi. O'sha yili, marshal va boshqa saylangan mansabdorlar to'rtta oylik maoshini byudjet kamomadini qoplash uchun berishga kelishib oldilar, shunda shahar to'rtta yong'in gidrantlarini sotib olishi mumkin edi.
1891 yil yanvardan 1906 yil noyabrgacha bo'lgan mahalliy hokimiyat orqaga qaytganligi sababli, yozuvlar Uillitsning qachon lavozimdan ketganligini ko'rsatmaydi. U 1891 yil yanvar oyida Vasiylik kengashining iltimosiga binoan Los-Anjeles okrugi sherifi mahalliy politsiya vazifalarini o'z zimmasiga olmaguncha u marshal bo'lib ishlagan deb taxmin qilish mumkin.
1906 yil oxirlarida mahalliy hukumat qaytib kelishi bilan, Vasiylik kengashiga nomzodlar lavhasi, Xalq chiptasi sifatida belgilangan, muxolifatsiz ovoz berildi. Siti marshaliga nomzod H.J.Mayo, qolganlari bilan birga o'z lavozimiga ko'tarildi. Mayo 1907 yilda bir muncha vaqtgacha xizmat qildi, keyin uning o'rnini Xovard Pek egalladi, u nishonni bir yil davomida olib yurdi. Pek 1906 yilda, 1911 yilgacha xizmat qilgan V.J.Devis tomonidan almashtirildi.
Ayni paytda, 1908 yil 7-aprelda Marshalning maoshi ko'tarilib, u yig'ilgan barcha soliqlarning 1,5 foizini ofitsion bo'yicha shahar soliq yig'uvchisi sifatida qo'shdi. 1909 yil 7-iyulda Marshal Devisga ko'cha qonunchiligi bo'yicha ikkita qo'llanma sotib olishga vakolat berilgan.
1910 yil 7-iyundan boshlab Marshalning maoshi oyiga 15 AQSh dollarigacha oshirildi, shuningdek litsenziya pulining 10 foizi va itlar yig'ilgan pulning 15 foizi.
1911 yil 3-yanvarda Devis Vasiylik kengashidan mototsikl zobitlarini yollash vakolatini so'radi. Ikki hafta o'tgach, so'rov qondirildi. Zobitlar 17-yanvardan boshlab 30 kunlik muddatga yarim kunlik ish bilan ta'minlanishi kerak edi. Ularning maoshi yig'ilgan barcha jarimalarning 50 foizini, yozuvchidan olinadigan to'lovlarni olib tashlagan holda belgilandi.
Yozuvlar shuni ko'rsatadiki, L. J. Grout 1911 yilda qaysidir marshalga aylangan va o'sha yili iste'foga chiqqan. Uning o'rnini J.W. Tosh.
1911 yil 21 fevralda avtoulov politsiyasining maoshlari qayta ko'rib chiqildi. Kengash zobitlarga har 10 dollarlik jarimadan 6 dollar va 10 dollar ustidagi jarimalarning 50 foizini to'lashga ovoz berdi. Ko'rinishidan, bu kelishuv ofitserlar foydasiga noaniq deb qaraldi, chunki shahar tez orada mototsikl politsiyachilari bilan birinchi yozilgan shartnoma muzokaralarida o'zini topdi. O'sha yilning 14 aprelida zobitlar har 10 dollarlik jarimadan 6 AQSh dollari va har bir jarimadan 15 AQSh dollaridan 7,50 dollar oladigan kelishuvga erishilgan.
1911 yil 20-iyunda Komptonning komendantlik soati bo'yicha birinchi qaroriga binoan voyaga etmaganlarning ko'chalarda yoki xiyobonlarda yoki boshqa jamoat joylarida qarovsiz yurishiga ruxsat bergan ota-onalar yoki ularning vasiylari uchun 25 dollar miqdorida jarima yoki 25 kunlik qamoq jazosi yoki ikkalasi ham tayinlandi. . Mavjud yozuvda komendantlik soati amal qilgan soat ko'rsatilmagan.
1914 yil 15-mayda Vasiylik kengashi yangi shahar qamoqxonasi va zanjir to'dasini tashkil etish zarurligini aniqlashga qaratilgan tadqiqot o'tkazish uchun qo'mita tayinladi. Bu shahar shahar biznesida ishlatiladigan xususiy avtomobillar uchun benzin uchun oyiga 5 dollar to'lashga ruxsat bergan paytga to'g'ri keldi.
1916 yilda A.E.Kenoyer marshal bo'ldi va o'sha paytgacha hammadan ko'proq mansabda bo'lgan Stounning o'rnini egalladi.
Qamoqxonani o'rganish uchun meva berish uchun to'rt yil vaqt kerak bo'ldi, ammo 1918 yil 18-iyulda Los-Anjeles okrugining katta hakamlar hay'ati shahar qamoqxonasini kamaytirish va yangi bino qurishni tavsiya qildi.
1920 yilda Kenoyerni Charlz G. Devidson egalladi va 1921 yilda Marshal politsiya idorasi oldida qizil chiroqni yoqish huquqiga ega bo'ldi, ehtimol patrul xizmati xodimlariga stantsiyani qo'ng'iroqlarni tekshirish uchun signal berish.
O'sha yilning iyun oyida shaharda birinchi maosh oladigan yarim kunlik mototsikl xodimi Klod Bonta ishga qabul qilindi. U soatiga 1 dollar to'lagan va haftasiga kamida 20 soat ishlashi kerak edi. 1922 yil 7 martda Rey Xekok Komptonda birinchi kunlik maoshli mototsikl xodimi sifatida ishga qabul qilindi. Unga oyiga 175 dollar maosh to'langan. 1923 yil 17-iyuldan boshlab shahar marshalining maoshi oyiga 175 AQSh dollari miqdorida ham belgilandi.
J.O. Burris 1922 yilda Marshal bo'ldi va 1923 yil 27 fevralga qadar Vasiylik kengashi Everet A.ni G'arbiy politsiya boshlig'i etib tayinlagan va bir necha daqiqa harakat bilan unga shaharning barcha politsiyachilari ustidan vakolat bergan paytgacha xizmat qildi. Kengashning ushbu harakati huquqni muhofaza qilish idoralarini siyosiy maydondan samarali ravishda olib tashladi. Bundan buyon politsiya boshliqlari shahar marshallarida bo'lgani kabi saylanmasdan tayinlanadilar.
1924 yil 9-dekabrda, umumiy saylovlarda katta ma'qullashdan so'ng, shahar boshqaruvchisi boshqaruv shaklini nazarda tutuvchi yangi shahar xartiyasi qabul qilindi. Politsiya boshqarmasi ma'muriyatiga shahar hokimiyati tuzilmasining o'zgarishi ta'sir ko'rsatmadi.
Everet A. West (1912 - 1932)
Everet A. West qo'shildi Los-Anjeles politsiya boshqarmasi 1912 yilda patrul xodimi sifatida. Etti yil davomida u yo'l harakati xodimi, oddiy kiyim kiyimi va detektiv sifatida xizmat qilgan. Iste'foga chiqqandan va biznes bilan shug'ullangandan so'ng, u 1924 yilda Kaliforniya shtatidagi Komptonga qo'shilib, politsiya ishiga qaytdi. U Kompton politsiya bo'limining boshlig'i bo'ldi va 1932 yilgacha ushbu lavozimda ishladi.
1934 yil 28 sentyabrda fuqarolar Manxetten sohili, Kaliforniya, ularning to'rtinchi politsiya boshlig'i E.A. G'arb, taniqli qonunchi bo'lgan. 1935 yilda, Manxetten plyajiga kelganidan bir yil o'tib, u "siyosiy aralashuv" tufayli iste'foga chiqdi.
Tomas J. Potter (1932 - 1953)
Tomas Potter 17 nafar zobitdan iborat kuchni qabul qilib oldi, ulardan etti nafari transportga tayinlangan. Kompton fuqarolari hayoti va mol-mulkini himoya qilish bo'yicha katta mas'uliyat Politsiya bo'limiga yuklandi. Bosh Tomas J. Potter boshchiligidagi bo'lim uchta asosiy faoliyatga bo'lingan: transportni tartibga solish va nazorat qilish, jinoiy qidiruv va patrul.
Yo'l harakati xavfsizligi guruhi tarkibiga o'n nafar zobitlar biriktirilgan va ular asosan transport vositalarini boshqarish bilan bog'liq transport hodisalarini tartibga solish va nazorat qilish bilan bog'liq.
Jinoiy tergov yoki detektivlik byurosi barcha xabar qilingan jinoyatlar bo'yicha tekshiruv o'tkazdi. Byuroning vazifasi huquqbuzarlarni ushlash va hukm qilish uchun etarli dalillarni to'plash va saqlash edi. Byuro voyaga etmagan jinoyatchilar bilan ham shug'ullangan.
Departament kuchlarining katta qismi patrul xizmatiga tayinlangan. Patrul avtoulovlari shaharning ko'chalarida kuniga yigirma to'rt soat harakatlanishdi. Har bir mashina shaharning bir qismiga ajratilgan va shtab-kvartirasi bilan har doim ikki tomonlama radioaloqa ta'minlangan. Ikki tomonlama radioaloqa avtoulovlar mashinalari va yong'in uskunalarini o'z ichiga olgan holda kengaytirildi. To'liq ishlaydigan radiotexnik uskuna texnik xizmat ko'rsatdi va barcha yangi transmitterlar va qabul qiluvchilarni sotib olish mumkin bo'lganidan arzon narxlarda qurdi. Barcha radio uskunalar shovqinlarni bartaraf etish uchun ultra yuqori chastota diapazoniga o'tkazilish bosqichida edi.
Urush davrida bo'lim etarli ishchi kuchisiz ishlagan. Urush paytida va undan ko'p o'tmay shahar aholisining ko'payishi politsiya xodimlaridan 1940 yilda deyarli ikki baravar ko'p bo'lishini talab qildi. Faoliyat va xodimlar sonining ko'payishi qayta tashkil etishni taqozo etdi. O'sib borayotgan kuchni tashkil qilish bo'yicha harakatlar bahorda, shahar Kengashi tomonidan bo'limni yakuniy tashkil etish rejasini qabul qilish bilan yakunlandi. Bosh Potter rejadagi tavsiyalarni iloji boricha tezroq amalga oshirdi.
O'sha paytda kuch tarkibida o'nta mototsikl, oltita radio-patrul mashinasi va bitta uchta g'ildirakli mototsikl bilan jihozlangan 39 zobit va odam bor edi. Potter deyarli 19 yil davomida politsiya boshlig'i bo'lib ishlagan. Uning o'rnini Uilyam K. Ingram egalladi.
Uilyam K. Ingram 02/01/1953 - 01/03/1973
1949 yilda boshqa shaharlarda bo'lgani kabi muammoli voyaga etmaganlar va kattalar keng tarqalgan edi va Kompton ham bundan mustasno emas edi. O'sha paytda u juda yaxshi tashkil etilgan Politsiya bo'limiga ega edi.
Politsiya boshlig'i Uilyam Ingram boshchiligida politsiya bo'limi oltita bo'linmaga bo'lingan. Bular patrul bo'limi, qamoqxona bo'limi, detektiv bo'lim, yo'l harakati bo'limi, yozuvlar bo'limi va balog'atga etmagan bolalar bo'limi edi.
Barcha bo'limlarda kadrlar puxta tanlangan va qizg'in tayyorgarlikdan o'tgan. Oddiy politsiyachilar uchun ushbu trening ular malakaga ega bo'lishidan olti hafta oldin boshlangan. Trening shundan so'ng doimiy malaka oshirish jadvali orqali davom etdi. Barcha ofitserlar vaqti-vaqti bilan malaka oshirish kurslaridan o'tdilar.
Kafedra zamonaviy qamoqxona va patrul mashinalari va mototsikllarining katta kuchi bilan yaxshi jihozlangan.
Tomas V. Koshi 01.01.1973 - 1976.08.30
Komptonning birinchi qora tanli politsiya boshlig'i edi Tomas V. Koshi1973 yilda Ingramning o'rnini egallagan. U Los-Anjeles okrugining sherifi bo'lgan va Kaliforniya shtatida politsiya boshlig'i etib tayinlangan birinchi qora tanli bo'lgan.
1973 yil iyulda, Kompton Siti qora tanli politsiya boshlig'ini qidirayotganida, Tomas Koshi juda tajribali edi. U ko'chalarda ham, idoralarda ham politsiya ishlarida bir necha yillik tajribaga ega edi. U turli xil kollejlarda dars bergan va ma'ruza qilgan va politsiya bo'limi qanday ishlashi kerakligi to'g'risida aniq fikrlar ishlab chiqqan. U gettodagi qonunbuzarlarga qarshi kurashish bo'yicha yanada ko'proq g'oyalarni ishlab chiqqan edi. Kaliforniya shtatidagi Oklenddagi Merritt kollejida o'qituvchiga qulay ish joyi bo'lgan bo'lsa ham, u ariza topshirdi va politsiya boshlig'ining ishini taklif qildi.
Xalqning eng gavjum shtatidagi birinchi qora tanli politsiya boshlig'i sifatida Koki Kaliforniyaning ko'zlari unga qarashini bilar edi. Ammo u "birinchi" bo'lishdan haddan tashqari xavotir olmadi va u boshlig'i bo'lgan vaqtgacha bo'limni o'zining noan'anaviy usulida boshqarishga qat'iy qaror qildi. U barcha xohlovchilarga, hatto eng qattiqqo'l jinoyatchilarga samimiy va do'stona munosabatda bo'lgan.
Koshi Komptonni eski holatiga qaytarishni xohladi. Ko'pgina politsiya boshliqlari singari, Koshi ham ma'muriy jadvalga ega edi, bu unga jinoyatchilikka qarshi kurashishda va qonun buzuvchilarni ta'qib qilishda faol ishtirok etish uchun juda oz vaqt ajratdi.
U oilasi bilan Compton kvartirasida yashagan. U oxir-oqibat butun politsiya Compton aholisidan iborat bo'lishiga umid qildi. U bu borada qattiq his-tuyg'ularga ega edi va u buni qoidaga aylantirmoqchi edi.
Kokening ismi frantsuzcha, ammo boshliq Kreol ekanligini rad etdi. U shunchaki afro-amerikalik ekanligini ta'kidladi. Mahsuloti Nyu-York shahri, Koki to'qqiz yoshida, buvisi uni poyezdga mindirib, Los-Anjelesdagi onasi va o'gay otasiga yuborganida. U 16 yoshida turmushga chiqdi va o'rta maktabni tashladi. Yo'lda bir oila bilan u har xil g'alati ishlarda ishlashni lozim topdi. U texnik xizmat ko'rsatish biznesini o'rganib chiqdi va 21 yoshida o'zining farroshlik xizmatini ochdi.
Yosh Tomas Koshi sinfga qaytib, o'rta maktab diplomini oldi. U politsiya bo'lishni xohlaganiga qaror qildi. O'rta maktabdan so'ng u Los-Anjeles okrugi sherifi bo'limiga sherif muovini sifatida ishga joylashdi. 16 yil davomida u uzoq va uzoq vaqt davomida kollej va universitetlarda siyosiy fanlar bo'yicha bakalavr bakalavri va davlat boshqaruvi magistr darajasini olgan.
1965 yil davomida Vattdagi g'alayon, Koki Los-Anjeles okrugi sherifining serjanti edi. U Votts ko'chalarida jamoatchilik bilan aloqalar tafsilotlarini ishlab chiqdi. Ushbu topshiriqni bajarayotganda u juda yaxshi ishlayotgan politsiya ishlarini ko'rdi, bu esa uning ko'zlarini politsiyaning yanada yaxshiroq texnikasiga muhtojligini ochdi. "Men atrofida turgan politsiyachilarni ko'rdim, ular qonunni bajarmayapti", deb esladi u. "Bu butunlay ochiq shahar edi".
Uottsdagi g'alayondan ko'p o'tmay, yosh serjant Sherif departamentidagi ishini tark etdi. U shikoyat qildi: "Jangda qora tanli leytenantlar bo'lmagan va men shuhratparast edim". Keyin u Los-Anjeles okrugi jamoat himoyachisi idorasining tergovchisiga aylandi.
Gari Kuper / Jon Ueyn singari yirtqich G'arbiy shaharchaga ko'chib o'tgan qonunchi singari, Tom Koshi ham shaharning politsiya boshlig'i lavozimini egallash uchun Komptonga kelib, mamlakatdagi aholi jon boshiga to'g'ri keladigan jinoyatchilik ko'rsatkichlaridan biri edi. Kovboyning "Yuqori peshin" eposidan farqli o'laroq, Koshi huquqni muhofaza qilish idoralarining o'tmishdagi yoki hattoki hozirgi xodimlaridan farqli o'laroq, jinoyatchilikka qarshi kurashish pozitsiyasini qabul qildi.
Birinchidan, Tom Koshi qaroqchilarga xayrixoh bo'lgan, qora tanlilar qanday tez-tez duch kelayotgan iqtisodiy sharoitlar ularni jinoyat sodir etishga undashini tushunadigan, qonun xatidan ko'ra ruhni kuchaytirishga ishongan politsiyachi edi. Maverick politsiyasi boshlig'i ishsiz yoshlar jinoiy sudga ega bo'lgan yoshlarga qo'shilib, ko'pchilikni g'azablantirganini aytgan holda ochiqchasiga gapirdi: "" Qonun va tartib "atamasida qora tanli ranglar mavjud".
Uning asosiy kontsentratsiyasi voyaga etmaganlar orasida edi, chunki jinoyatchilik eng keng tarqalgan yoshlar orasida edi. Komptonda o'rtacha yosh 25 yosh bilan taqqoslaganda 19,6 yoshni tashkil etdi va Koche yaxshi ishlamagan paytda ular muammoga duch kelishini yaxshi bilar edi. U ularga ish topish haqida hech narsa qila olmadi, ammo Koshi ular bilan gaplashdi va uning birinchi qadamlaridan biri to'da rahbarlari uchrashuvini chaqirish edi.
Koshining ko'p vaqtlari o'z shahridagi jinoyatchilikni keltirib chiqaradigan sharoitlarni o'rganish va tahlil qilish va ularga qarshi kurashishning yangi usullarini ishlab chiqishga sarflangan. U jinoyatchilikka qarshi samarali kurashish uchun sabablarini anglab etish zarurligiga qat'iy ishongan.
Bosh Koshening ta'kidlashicha, mashhur afsonadan farqli o'laroq, shahar qarama-qarshi bo'lib qolmaydi, chunki qora tanlilar harakat qiladi. "Komptonda sodir bo'layotgan narsa ijtimoiy-iqtisodiy holati past bo'lgan har qanday jamoada bo'ladi", - deya ta'kidladi u. "Bu nafaqat qora tanli jamoalarda yoki jigarrang jamoalarda, balki kambag'al oq tanli jamoalarda ham sodir bo'ladi". Koshi Komptonda jinoyatchilikning asosiy sababchisi iqtisodiy ekanligiga amin edi. U shaharning past iqtisodiy ahvoli ko'p jihatdan namoyon bo'lganligini, ular orasida istalmagan va sevilmaydigan bolalar va son-sanoqsiz bo'sh uylar borligini tushuntirdi.
78000-90 foiz qora tanli aholiga ega - Kompton Los-Anjeles janubidan janubga 15 mil uzoqlikda cho'zilgan qora oq qashshoqlik yo'lagida edi. Shaharning uchdan bir qismidan ortig'i ijtimoiy yordamga tegishli edi. Uning maktab o'quvchilari shtatdagi eng past o'qish ko'rsatkichiga ega edilar. Kompton aholisining yarmidan ko'pini tashkil etgan yoshlar orasida ishsizlik 40 foizni tashkil etdi.
«Komptonda jinoyatchilik chidab bo'lmas darajaga etgan edi. Komptonning qonunga bo'ysunadigan aholisi derazalarida panjara, eshiklarida er-xotin qulf bo'lgan uylarda yashar edilar. Ular o'zlarini xuddi jinoyatchilar erkin yurib yurganlarida qamoqqa tushgandek his qilishdi ”. Ushbu dahshatli va oldindan aytib berishni baholash 1975 yilda Los-Anjelesdagi Grand hakamlar hay'ati tomonidan (birinchi marta qora tanli usta boshchiligida) AQShdagi "jinoyatchilik eng ko'p shahar" deb nomlangan tanqidiy vaziyatni sarhisob qilish uchun qilingan. Eng dahshatli narsa shundaki, Kompton 99 foiz oq tanli, qora tanli meri va qora tanli politsiya boshlig'i edi. Xalqning har qanday joyidan ko'ra, Kaliforniya shahri qora tanlilarning qora tanli jinoyatchilik va qora tanlilarning boshqa qora tanlilarning qurbon bo'lishidan qanday to'xtatish borasidagi xavotirini kuchaytirdi.
Komptonda 1975 yilda ishsizlik va qora tanli jinoyatchilik shunchalik kuchayganki, NAACP Prezidentdan shaharni falokat zonasi deb e'lon qilishni so'ragan.
Biroq, Tom Koshi jinoyatchilarni kodlamadi. U jinoyat sodir bo'lgan joydan keyin boshlandi: uyda, orqa xiyobonlarda, to'dalar bilan uchrashish joylarida va u huquqbuzarlar bilan halol gaplashdi. Uning strategiyasi o'z samarasini berdi va qora tanli jinoyatchilikka qarshi kurash muammosiga duch kelgan qora merlar bo'lgan shaharlarning ko'payib borishi uchun jinoyatchilikka qarshi kurash usullarining dramatik namunasini taqdim etdi.
Koshi huquqni muhofaza qilishdan ko'ra muhimroq deb bilgan jinoyatchilikning oldini olishga qaratilgan stress tufayli hushyor odamlarning g'azabini uyg'otdi. "Afsuski," deb shikoyat qildi u, - ushbu bo'limda va mamlakatning boshqa bo'limlarida politsiyachilar bor, ular sizni odamlarni kaltaklash orqali jinoyatchilikning oldini oladi deb o'ylashadi. Men odamlarga nisbatan jismoniy tajovuzkorlik bilan inson xatti-harakatlarini yaxshi tomonga o'zgartirganingizga ishonmayman. Bu mening bo'limimdagi ofitserlarga singdirishim kerak bo'lgan nazariyam. Mening ba'zi ofitserlarim to'da a'zolari va umuman jamoat odamlari bilan yaxshi munosabatda bo'lishadi, ammo ba'zi boshqa ofitserlar yaxshi aloqaga ega emaslar. Biz bu borada ishlashga harakat qilayapmiz ».
Komptonning jinoyati hech qachon tugamagan. Ammo Siti qotillik darajasi yarmiga qisqartirildi va boshqa statistikalar tenglashtirildi. "Komptonning obro'si haqiqiy tajribadan yomonroq," - deya e'tiroz bildirdi Koshi, - garchi bu shaharda fuqarolar o'zlarining hissiyotlari bilan oqlanadigan jinoyatlar hali ham etarli bo'lsa.
Koshening ta'kidlashicha, “Agar biron bir zobit shaxsni o'zboshimchalik bilan yoki g'arazli ravishda zo'ravonlik bilan ishlatganligi aniqlansa, jazo shafqatsizlikning og'irligiga qarab, yozma tanbehdan tortib politsiya bo'limining tugatilishiga qadar davom etishi mumkin. Men bu erda boshliq bo'lganim uchun, men besh-olti kun va hatto ikki hafta davomida maosh olmasdan to'xtatib qo'ydim. "
Boshliq keraksiz otishmalarga qarshi ham qat'iy pozitsiyani egalladi. U odamlariga hech qachon o'q uzmaslikni buyurdi, agar bu inson hayotini himoya qilishdan iborat bo'lsa va qochib ketayotgan gumonlanuvchi, u qanday jinoyat sodir etgan bo'lsa ham, hech qachon otib tashlanmasligi kerak. "Bizning kadrlar ehtiyojimiz va mening byudjetim sababli, - dedi u xafa bo'lib, - bu bo'lim men xohlagan darajada jinoyatchilikning oldini olmaydi".
Tabiiyki, kafedrada qonun buzuvchilar bilan ishlashda Koshidan norozi bo'lgan ba'zi xodimlar bo'lgan. Ba'zilar uni juda yumshoq, boshqalari esa shunchaki rejasiz deb o'ylashdi. Kompton shahar hukumatida ham boshliqning usullari bilan rozi bo'lmagan ba'zi a'zolar bo'lgan.
"Men hech qachon qattiq qonun va tartibni himoya qiluvchi odam bo'lmayman," deb ta'kidladi u, - shuningdek, so'nggi yillarda ushbu huquq vakili bo'lgan huquqni muhofaza qilish organlari turini qo'llab-quvvatlamayman. Men shaharda adolatni qaror toptirishga harakat qilayapman, shu bilan birga Komptonda yashovchilarni jinoyatchilikning asosiy sabablarini sezgir qilyapman. "
"Men politsiya boshlig'ining ishini qanday qabul qilaman, - deb davom etdi boshliq, - u o'rtada bo'lgan odam. U politsiya bo'limi va jamiyat o'rtasidagi vositachidir. U xabar tashuvchisi va koordinatori. To'liq qarama-qarshi falsafa - boshliq daxlsiz bo'lishi kerak ".
Kokening qonuniy va tartibli odam bo'lishdan bosh tortishi unga tanqidni keltirib chiqardi va u shunday dedi: "Ba'zi oq tanli ofitserlar bor, ular men bilan gaplashmaslikni tanladilar, ammo keyinchalik kimdir do'stlik bo'yicha politsiya bo'limini boshqarmaydi". Uning ta'kidlashicha, uning bo'limida «har xil odamlardan iborat» 150 ga yaqin politsiyachi ishlaydi.
Shahar menejeri Daniel L. Limdan Kokening Janubiy Kaliforniya Universitetida nutqi paytida tartib va tartibni tanqid qilganida, u bilan rozi emas edi. "Bu asosan qora tanli shahar," deb ta'kidladi Lim, va shahar ichida sodir etilgan jinoyatlar, asosan, qora tanlilarga qarshi qora tanlilar tomonidan amalga oshiriladi. Shunday qilib, Komptonda qonun va tartibni ta'kidlash qanday qilib irqiy tusga ega bo'lishini ko'rmayapman. Koshi ushbu terminning asl ma'nosidan ko'ra, qora tanlilarga qarshi tarixga asoslangan kontsentratsiyadan ko'proq tashvishlanmoqda ", deya tushuntirdi u.
Komptonning daromad holati tufayli Lim Koshidan shaharning jinoyatchilik muammosini hal qilish uchun so'ragan ba'zi narsalarni rad etdi, ayniqsa, to'dalar a'zolariga maslahat berishda yordam berish va maqsadlarni yo'naltirishga yordam berish uchun fuqarolik guruhi ko'cha ishchilarini jalb qilish va yollash bo'yicha ko'proq patrul xizmatini. .
Boshqa tomondan, Lim boshni dinamik shaxsiyat va kuchli etakchilik qobiliyati uchun maqtadi. 1975 yil avgust oyida Koshi va Kompton shahar kengashi o'rtasidagi bir-biridan farqli o'laroq, Lim boshlig'ini ishdan bo'shatdi, ammo Koshi bir oy o'tgach qayta ishga qabul qilindi. Kokeni ishdan bo'shatish uchun shahar Kengashi boshliqqa bo'ysunmaslik bilan bog'liq bo'lgan etti ayblovni qo'ydi. Ko'chada huquqni muhofaza qilish organlarining mablag'larini noto'g'ri ishlatganlikda ayblangan ayblovlarni jamoatchilikka namoyish etishni taklif qilgandan so'ng, ko'chada odamlar uni qo'llab-quvvatlaganida, Koshi bu harakat bilan kurashdi va ishini tikladi. Koshi uni chetlatish harakatida "siyosiy rashkchilar" ni aybladi.
Bundan tashqari, oq tanli ofitserlarning noroziligi haqida ham gap bor edi, chunki Cocheesning Komptondagi birinchi keskin harakatlaridan biri uning "tuz va qalampir" siyosati edi. Shahar 90 foiz qora va bo'limdagi nisbat 40 foiz oq, 50 foiz qora va 10 foiz Chikano bo'lganligi sababli, u har bir patrul mashinasini bitta qora tanli va bitta qora tanli ofitser bilan birlashtirishga qaror qildi. . Uning fikricha, bu fuqarolar o'rtasidagi ziddiyat va noroziliklarni kamaytiradi.
Cocheésning izchil maqsadi, hayotning irqiy faktlarini tan olish va irqchilik natijalariga qarshi kurashish uchun jinoyatchilikka murojaat qilganlar o'rtasida bir oz muvozanatga erishish edi. U Jayszdagi uchrashuvda shunday dedi: "Rangli odamlar bizning tizimimizdagi adolatsizliklarga sezgir bo'lishlari kerak, ammo ayni paytda bizni katta tizim qurbonlari olib ketishmoqda". Va u yosh jinoyatchilarga ushbu ogohlantirishni berdi: "Qurol ko'targan bolalarga:" Men ularga qurolni otishadimi, men ularga aytdim, politsiya miltiq bilan o'q uzmasligiga kafolat yo'q ".
1976 yil avgust oyida u o'zining uchinchi yilini Komptonda nishonladi, bu mamlakatdagi juda kam shaharlardan biri bo'lib, ayol meri (Doris Devis) va Kaliforniya shtatidagi bunday farq bilan yagona shahar edi.
Komptoning politsiya boshlig'i sifatida nimani amalga oshirishni umid qilasiz, degan savolga Koshi shunday javob berdi: "1985 yilga kelib biz Komptonning qiyofasini o'zgartirib, uni shtatning eng xavfsiz shahriga aylantirmoqchimiz".
Jozef T. Rouzan, kichik 10/01/1976 - 28/19/1981
1976 yilda Rouzan Kaliforniya shtatidagi Kompton politsiyasi boshlig'i etib tayinlandi. U 10/01/76 - 28/8/81 gacha xizmat qilgan. Jozef T. Rouzan, Jr.ning karerasi haqida, o'n besh yildan ko'proq vaqtni o'z ichiga olgan martaba haqida ko'plab faktlar va statistik ma'lumotlar mavjud.
Bosh Rouzan Nyu-Orlean, Luiziana shtatida tug'ilgan. Kaliforniya milliy gvardiyasida ikki yil va AQSh havo kuchlarida to'rt yil xizmat qilganidan so'ng, Ruzan 1955 yilda Los-Anjelesga qaytib keldi va keyinchalik Los-Anjeles politsiya bo'limiga qo'shildi, u erda 21 yil xizmat qildi va so'nggi uch yil davomida qo'mondonlik qildi. Kadrlar va yollash bo'yicha xodim, Markaziy detektivlar va Politsiya komissiyasining qo'mondoni. Katta sinf kapitani sifatida u Los-Anjeles politsiya departamentining birinchi ijobiy harakat xodimi sifatida ham xizmat qilgan.
Janob Ruzanning ta'limi Sharqiy Los-Anjeles kollejining san'at bo'yicha dotsenti, Pepperdin universitetining davlat menejeri bo'yicha bakalavr ilmiy darajasi va Pepperdin universitetining biznes boshqaruvi bo'yicha magistr darajasini o'z ichiga oladi.
U Los-Anjelesdagi birlashgan maktab okrugidan politsiya fanlari va politsiya boshqaruvini o'qitish uchun umrbod o'qituvchilik ma'lumotlariga ega. Bundan tashqari, u Federal Qidiruv Byurosi Ijroiya Boshqaruvi Institutidan Ijroiya Boshqaruvi guvohnomasiga va Kaliforniya shtati Tinchlik Zobitlari Standartlari va Treningidan Politsiya Bosh Sertifikatiga ega.
1979 yilda u Siti Komptonning shahar menejerining yordamchisi etib tayinlandi. Mer va shahar kengashi uni 1980 yil yanvar oyida shahar menejeri etib tayinlagan.
Jeyms L. Karrington 01/08/1962 - 10/07/1985
Komptonning birinchi qora tanli politsiya boshlig'i safga chiqqan Jeyms L. Karrington edi. U 01.08.062 dan 10.07.07 gacha xizmat qilgan.
Jeyms Lui Karrington 1929 yil 16-yanvarda Illinoysning Qohira shahrida Albert va Kerri Karringtonlar oilasida tug'ilgan. U Illinoys shtatining Sent-Luis shahrida o'sgan va Vashington Texnik Litseyini bitirgan.
18 yoshida u Qo'shma Shtatlar armiyasiga qo'shildi va Texas shtatidagi El Paso shahridagi ofitserlar nomzodi maktabiga borganidan so'ng ofitserga aylandi. "Jim" Kaliforniya shtatidagi San Pedro shahridagi Fort MacArthurda qo'mondonlik postining ijrochi xodimi bo'lib ishlagan va o'n yillik xizmatidan so'ng harbiy faoliyatini yakunlagan.
Janubiy Karolina shtatidagi Charlstonga ko'chib o'tgach, u olti yil davomida Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlari dengiz kuchlari uchun fuqaro bo'lib ishlagan va Xitoyning Leyk va Long-Bichdagi dengiz kemasozlik zavodlariga o'tishdan oldin.
Faoliyati davomida Jim Kaliforniya jamoat kollejlaridan umr bo'yi o'qituvchi sertifikatini, Kaliforniya shtati Los-Anjeles shtatining Adliya idorasi bakalavri va Redlands universitetining menejment bo'yicha magistr darajasini oldi. Shuningdek, u Loyola Marymount-da psixologiya bo'yicha aspiranturani tugatdi.
Karrington polvonning birinchi qora tanli politsiya boshlig'i edi. U huquqni muhofaza qilish faoliyatini 1960 yilda Los-Anjeles okrugi sherifi bo'limida boshladi. 1962 yilda u Kompton politsiya bo'limiga ishga kirdi.
U Irvin shahri tomonidan yangi politsiya idorasini tashkil etish va rivojlantirish bo'yicha boshqaruv guruhining ustav a'zosi bo'lish uchun tanlanganida 13 yil xizmat qilganidan keyin u Kompton politsiya bo'limini leytenant lavozimidan tark etdi. Irvin politsiya bo'limida bo'lganida Jimni tengdoshlari hurmat qilishardi.
Irvinda uch yil bo'lganidan so'ng, Jim polton qo'mondoni sifatida Komptonga qaytdi. 1980 yilda u ketma-ket uchta lavozimda ko'tarilib, Politsiya xizmatining direktori, politsiya boshlig'ining yordamchisi, keyin politsiya boshlig'i bo'ldi. Jimning Kompton shahri bilan 21 yillik faoliyati, jami 25 yillik huquqni muhofaza qilish organlari, 1985 yil 7 oktyabrda nafaqaga chiqqanligi bilan yakunlandi.
1982 yil fevral oyida, Fuqarolar Harakatlari Ligasi oldida mavzu jinoyatchilik edi. Guruh Kompton shahar kengashiga "jinoyatchilik muammolari va politsiyaning yomon ishlashi" haqida shikoyat qildi.
Matbuot xonasida yuqori qavatda odamlar gavjum bo'lgan kengashlar palatalariga qaragan holda, bosh Karrington mavzuga biroz boshqacha yondoshdi. Kengash kun tartibidagi kun tartibidagi masalalarni ko'rib chiqayotganda Karrington intervyu olish uchun matbuot xonasida edi. Pastki qavatdagi namoyishchilar singari, Karrington ham ba'zan jinoyatchilik muammosi darajasiga tushib qolganini tan oldi. Ba'zan, u o'zini "Katta Kanyonni belkurak bilan to'ldirishga urinayotgandek" his qilayotganini aytdi. "Ammo men o'z ishimni yaxshi ko'raman va o'z ishimni yaxshi his qilyapman", deb tezda qo'shib qo'ydi u.
Karrington ikki yil davomida Kompton politsiya bo'limini boshqargan, avval boshliq vazifasini bajaruvchi, keyin boshliq sifatida ishlagan. Ushbu ikki yil davom etgan zo'riqish namoyon bo'la boshladi. Garchi u hech qanday jismoniy ta'sirlardan xabardor emasligini aytgan bo'lsa-da, unga yaqin bo'lganlar o'zgarishni ko'rishlari mumkinligini aytishadi. "Bu erda nima bo'lganini bilmayman", dedi u ko'kragini ko'rsatib. "Bu hech qanday yordam bermaydi" dedi u pastki qavatdagi guruhni ko'rsatib. Ammo fuqarolar guruhining vakili kengashga murojaat qilganida, boshliq tinglash uchun to'xtab qoldi.
«Biz, Kompton fuqarolari, politsiyamiz himoyasi ostiga tushmaymiz. . . biz politsiya harakatiga chaqirganimizda yomon javob olamiz. Ko'chalarda yurishdan qo'rqamiz, - dedi vakili kengashga. "Ba'zi jinoyatlar xabar qilinmaydi, chunki biz politsiya bu bilan hech narsa qila olmasligini his qilamiz", - deya davom etdi u. Fuqarolar guruhi - taxminan 150 kishi - o'tgan hafta Kompton birlashgan maktabining tuman kengashi zalida bo'lib o'tgan uchrashuvdan shahar meriyasi tomon yurishgan.
Ushbu yig'ilishda guruhning bir nechta a'zolari so'zga chiqib, o'g'rilar va mugginglar haqida gapirib berishdi va politsiya tomonidan sust javob berishidan yoki yo'qligidan shikoyat qildilar. Liganing bir a'zosi politsiya jinoyatchilarga "buni unut" deb shikoyat qilmaslik kerakligini aytdi.
Karrington, politsiyaning sust javob berishiga oid shikoyatlar ba'zan asosli ekanligini tan oldi. «Bizning barcha mashinalarimiz daqiqaga qadar issiq deb ayta olmayman. Biz hech qachon u erga xohlagancha tezroq bormaymiz. Menda hech qachon zobitlar etarli emas. Biroq, fuqarolarga jinoyatlar to'g'risida xabar berishga harakat qilganda "buni unut" deyilgani haqidagi da'volar "kulgili" ", dedi Karrington. “Biz hech kimga hech qanday jinoyatni unutishni aytmaymiz. Bu kulgili. Biz har bir sodir bo'lgan voqeani xabar qilamiz va tekshiramiz. Biz hali ham har qanday va barcha qo'ng'iroqlarga javob beradigan kam sonli shaharlardanmiz ", dedi u.
Chief Carrington pointed out that some police departments took reports by telephone for less serious complaints such as barking dogs, graffiti and petty theft instead of sending officers to the scene. “The Compton Police Department, he said, is considering following the lead of those other departments. It’s overkill to send an officer out on minor offenses after the perpetrators have long gone. That officer needs to be keeping someone from getting his skull split open,” he said.
Carrington suggested that the citizen group may be putting too much of the crime problem at the door of the police department and ignoring or rejecting such factors as poverty, illiteracy, substandard housing and unemployment that may be considered the root causes of crime. “Those are social things that impacted on all of us,” he said. He said that it was an old myth that painting crime blue—saturating a community with police officers can solve all of the problems. Crime was on the rise and it was coming from all fronts. However, he said most of it is being perpetrated and committed on private property in our own homes. The crimes were occurring not by immigrants, but by our relatives, our kids, our associates. Domestic violence was on the rise—this was between people living under one roof. Police can't impact on that at all.
Carrington called crime a “two-pronged affair”—opportunity and desire. “Police along with block clubs may have had some degree of success in reducing opportunity, but how do we impact on the desire?” - deb so'radi u. At block clubs Carrington told people the things they were complaining about are their children, their family members, their neighbors. It was their responsibility, Mr. Homeowner.
Carrington was alarmed to see that we had a generation that was just waiting to step into the shoes of their predecessors—thugs and criminals. He stated we have to do something with them and for them. There was an over dependency on the criminal justice system. The criminal justice system is a step along the say he said. “The police department doesn’t create, commit or condone the crimes. The police department has become overburden in the last decade or so with all those societal forces. We’re winning some battles but we’re losing the war. It’s not just in Compton, it’s everywhere. The Pope wasn’t gunned down in Compton. The President wasn’t shot in Compton. Neither were John or Robert Kennedy or the Turkish ambassador,” he added.
Carrington complained that his officers were not given the credit they deserved. Some of his officers put their lives on the line to do their jobs. He said that there's not enough money to pay them for that. They do it out of commitment. We give our utmost.
Chief Carrington said he took over a good department and he thought the city council was pleased with the job he and his officers were doing. He stated, “We’ll not be dissuaded by Citizens Action League or any other group name. Tomorrow, I’ll come back and try again.”
Ivory J. Webb 1963 - 1990
Ivory J. Webb Sr., spent his police career that spans nearly three decades with the Compton Police Department and the last 4½ years as chief. Beginning his career in 1963, Ivory Webb began to advance through the ranks of the Compton Police Department becoming a sergeant in 1968, lieutenant in 1969, commander in 1977 and achieving the pinnacle of his career as the Chief of Police on January 31, 1986. He spent his police career that span nearly three decades with the Compton Police Department.
An active member of several professional organizations, Chief Webb was a consummate law enforcement professional who has set goals and priorities for his officers as well as himself. Through strategic planning to ensure a safe and secure community for the citizens of Compton, Chief Webb gave Compton innovative programs.
Compton Police Department Annual Report 1988: Message from the Chief
"On May 28, 1888, Compton's first police officer was appointed to duty just 17 days after the new City of Compton was incorporated. Compton at that time was a very small, very quiet farming community of less than 400 people.
Now in our centennial year of 1988, over 100 years later, Compton is a community of over 90,000 people, sometimes not so quiet; certainly, not so small. We have gone from a white to predominantly black community and some say very soon to be mostly Hispanic. The City has seen two World Wars and the Koreya urushi fade away, to just a memory. The City, along with the nation survived the pathos of the Vetnam urushi and the historic Civil Rights Movement. Perhaps we are still recovering from the shattered effects of the turbulent 1960's.
As we approach the end of the 1980s, we are just a decade away from the dawn of a new century. Compton, much like the rest of the nation, it troubled with drug abuse problems and street gang violence.
The Police Department has grown from one police officer in 1888 to 138 in 1988. Just as the City and the police department has grown, so have the crime problems it was organized, trained and equipped to fight. The question is, are we winning the fight? We believe we are.
Since inception of my administration in January 1986, we have organized a Narcotics Task Force, a Street Gang Suppression Unit and a Traffic Enforcement Unit, consisting of police motorcycles. Yes, we are winning. We have decentralized some police operations by placing police substations in two of the four councilmanic districts. Plans are being developed to build three more throughout the City in districts one and three. These substations have, and will, provide highly visible police presence in every residential community where they are located. Additionally, we have organized Compton's first Police Helicopter Patrol Unit and Police Canine Unit. Yes, we are willing.
None of these measures would be effective without the wholehearted support of all the men and women on the Compton Police Department who have joined with me in building a first class police organization. Most of all, my administration has been fortunate to have a very proactive law enforcement-oriented Mayor, City Council and City Manager, who have, along with more than 150 community block clubs in the City, joined us in the battle against crime. Yes, most assuredly, we are winning."
Terry R. Ebert 06/01/1969 - 08/01/1992
Terry R. Ebert served as a Compton police officer for 23 years—his last two as Chief of Police from 06/01/90 to 08/01/92.
In April of 1993 he was charged with grand theft for stealing $5000 from the police department's drug enforcement "buy" money.
Hourie L. Taylor 6-1968 – 09/16/2000
Hourie L. Taylor served as Compton Police Chief from 01/01/93 – 09/16/00. Chief Taylor led a department that saw an increase in the number of minorities in the department. There were 125 officers on board out of the authorized 135 positions. Additionally, there were 120 civilian personnel who worked in the department.
Hourie Taylor is a native Californian who was raised in Compton and graduated from Compton High School. He received an Associate of Arts Degree in Police Science from Compton Community College. He attended teaching and supervisory techniques courses at El Camino College in Torrance, California. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from California State University, Long Beach. He also completed accounting and computer courses at Cerritos College and the Master's Program for Public Administration at California State University, Long Beach.
Chief Taylor was a 31-year Compton Police Department veteran. He worked a variety of assignments including Uniform Patrol, Special Services Center, Crime Scene Investigator, Narcotics/Vice Supervisor, Adjutant to the Chief of Police, Juvenile Division Supervisor, Supervisor of Technical Services, Adjutant to Bureau Commander, Watch Commander, Gang Unit Supervisor, Special Investigations Division Commander, and Investigative and Support Services Bureau Commander.
Chief Taylor received numerous awards and recognition throughout his years of service. He has lectured extensively to over 15,000 criminal justice personnel and private persons across the nation on the subject of Los Angeles-based street gangs. Such agencies included the Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, State of California Department of Justice and California District Attorney's Association.
During Taylor's tenure with the police department, he saw an increase in the number of minorities that predominate the department and the department became much more sensitive to the community. The police department was no panacea to the problems of society. There were a lot of economic issues that played a major factor in police affairs because there was no bottomless pit for taxpayer revenues to support police services. He said they had to scrutinize how funds are used and what was best for the community.
Taylor's areas of expertise during the first 20 years as a police officer were gangs and drugs. He had been a part of an outstanding and team of individuals at the Compton Police Department that made the law enforcement work effective in dealing with gang members and illegal drug use.
As Chief, one of the major changes made were efforts to become more sensitive to the needs of the community. The police department implemented a community policing philosophy and became more responsive to the needs of the community in order to reduce crime.
Ramón E. Allen, Sr. 10/27/1969– 09/16/2000
Ramón E. Allen Sr., was last Police Chief of Compton Police Department and a 30-year veteran of the department and the ranking captain, was appointed to the rank of chief of police by Compton City Manager John Johnson after Chief Hourie Taylor was placed on Administrative Leave in 1999.
Allen graduated from Los Angeles Southwest College with an Associate of Arts Degree in Administration of Justice. He later attended the University of Redlands where he received a bachelor's degree in Management and subsequently completed the Master of Arts in Management curriculum. At the time of his appointment, Allen served as the commanding officer of the Operations Bureau and the Tactical Operations/Metropolitan (SWAT) Division. As the department's tactical commander, whenever Allen was reassigned to command another bureau, the Metropolitan Division moved with him to remain under his command. Immediately reorganizing the department to contemporary managerial standards after taking the reins, Chief Allen primarily discarded obsolete organizational structure and terminologies that formerly identified bureaus, divisions, sections and units and their respective responsibilities. He encouraged his General Command Staff to acquire a similar managerial mindset to enhance the effectiveness of the organization and its employees while eliminating outdated concepts and methodologies. Resultantly, the department slowly evolved from its dated traditions to that of a modern-day law enforcement agency utilizing contemporary management principles effectively. Chief Allen was a proponent of having a viable (inter)relationship with the community, businesses, and city officials to work—collectively—towards true community policing. Allen associated a safe city with a vibrant, healthy, and participative community. Allen often remarked that he was fortunate to have had a diverse background as a youth and a qualitative education which collectively provided him an insight that enhanced his ability to communicate with others regarding their concerns associated with delivering professional police services to the neighborhoods.
Chief Allen, who is generally credited as the primary author of the department's policies and procedures manual, was a structured, intuitive, analytical, no-nonsense administrator who endorsed formal and in-service education for all members of the department, coupled with wide-ranging specialized groups and teams of personnel, to attain mission accomplishments. As an example, Allen increased the number of marked radio cars on the streets during daily peak hours to improve response times to emergency called for services, he implemented the 12-hour work day for sworn uniformed field personnel. In evaluating its effectiveness, a monthly report reflected that the 12-hour shift appeared to be effective in quicker response times to field situations and significantly diminished street crimes of opportunity against unsuspecting individuals. However, Allen was concerned that the 12-hour work day may potentially generate personnel fatigue factors causing accidents, on-duty injuries, and the increased use of employee sick time (off). Because the 12-hour shift program had been employed for only a brief period, its long-range effectiveness and ramifications could not be reasonably evaluated.
In addition to the 12-hour work day for uniformed officers, Allen increased resources to the Homicide Division to resolve gang-related murders and reassigned former veteran narcotics personnel (back) to the Special Investigations Division for greater effectiveness against cocaine trafficking. Murders were being solved expeditiously with corresponding guilty verdicts; and narcotics traffickers were being booked for hand-to-hand sales of narcotics to undercover police officers at a substantial rate.
The Juvenile Behavioral Health Services Division was created by Allen to respond to scenes of violent crime and provide mental health services to victims, family members, and other individuals necessitating such on-scene services. The division's officer-in-charge was commanded by a non-sworn ordained priest, Dr. Father Gary Daniels, who received his holy orders from Trinity College, The Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches, and a PhD in Relational Psychology from Trinity College. Daniels reported directly to Chief Allen to ensure the successfulness of the division's responsibilities and mission. After the disbandment of the Police Department in October 2000, the Juvenile Behavioral Health Services Division morphed into the Compton branch of the Weed and Seed Program under the direction of the United States Department of Justice, with Dr. Father Daniels being named as its director. Often referred to as Compton Police Department's transition chief of police, a term Allen frowned upon, Chief Allen frequently opposed the assimilation of the department by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. He principally illustrated that the county's staffing and line projection per item in its proposal for contractual services to the city was a gross underestimation and fabrication of personnel and equipment for a full-service police department. The contract also essentially cloaked the considerable revenue generating funds which the city would no longer receive by having a city police department. Instead, the county would be receiving the revenue generating funds. Allen cautioned that certain police services would have to be eliminated because the actual costs would soon double the contract's monetary proposal and exceed the existing costs for the Compton Police Department. Allen presented a factual financial report that contrasted the Sheriff's Department contract which demonstrated the county was low-balling a bid which could not be reasonably maintained in costs, staffing, and existing services. It was improbable that the same level of police services being delivered by the Compton Police Department could be matched at half cost and with less than half the personnel. Allen's efforts towards maintaining the Compton Police Department began to materialize but at the very last moment during the assessment process, the swing vote on the City Council reversed himself and voted to disband the police department.In the fall of 2000, after 112 years of providing police services to the community, the Compton Police Department was assimilated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Refusing assimilation, Chief Allen opted to retire after 31 years of service notwithstanding an offer to remain with the city in an executive position.
Since his retirement, Allen has written several manuscripts, novels, novellas, and short stories of police dramas—two mysteries which have been published as novels:

Late in the 1960s, racial tensions were running high throughout the U.S. This and the Vietnam War were turning some Americans against their own government. Protests and riots were common. These fueled a controversial decision around 1969 by the City Council to remove the American flag from display in Compton's Council Chambers. The long-time tradition of saluting the American flag at the opening of city meetings was abandoned. This, coupled with controversial editorials in the local press about police officers, was not without its consequences, and caused at least one member of the Compton police department to leave the city.
The Compton Police Department has been criticized for employing officers who were allegedly involved with street gangs and subsequently treating certain street gangs with leniency.
