The LAPD is committed to meaningful reform and will continue to be proactive in our efforts. Compliance with the Consent Decree is the baseline for, and not the ultimate standard by which the Department's commitment to excellence will ultimately be measured. The communities of Los Angeles expect and deserve the finest service possible from their police department. To that end, the Department views the Consent Decree as part of a more comprehensive effort to provide the highest level of protection and service to the people of Los Angeles.
