Los Angeles - The members of the Los Angeles Police Commission are looking for Board of Rights Hearing Examiners and for Police Permit Hearing Examiners. On June 20, 2006, the Police Commission approved the new Hearing Examiner Selection and Appointment Process, paving the way for interested community members to fill at least 25 Hearing Examiner positions. The Commission is specifically looking for individuals with a community service background combined with arbitration, mediation, administrative hearing, or comparable work experience.
Police Commissioner Anthony Pacheco, one of the architects of the new process, stated, "We are very pleased to announce these openings to all community members interested in serving the City of Los Angeles in a meaningful way. This unique opportunity allows individuals to make a significant impact in LAPD matters."
Board of Rights Hearing Examiners participate as members of a tribunal that conducts quasi-judicial administrative hearings on police officer disciplinary matters. A Hearing Examiner participating in a Board of Rights makes findings of fact based on sworn testimony and evidentiary submissions, and may recommend to the Chief of Police that a sworn member of the Police Department be suspended, demoted, or removed.
Police Permit Hearing Examiners conduct quasi-judicial administrative hearings on police permit matters involving businesses regulated by the Board of Police Commissioners. A Hearing Examiner conducting police permit hearings makes findings of fact and may recommend to the Police Permit Review Panel that a business permit be granted, denied, suspended, revoked, or conditioned.
These "as-needed" positions are compensated with $900 for a full day hearing, $450 for a half day hearing, and $900 per final report. Interested individuals may obtain further details and an application online by going to LAPDOnline.org, and clicking "Police Commission." Or, individuals may call the Police Commission at 213-485-3531, for more information.
Isn't this the Police Commissions job? It sounds like the LAPD will have to deal with even more politics. I wonder if other Police agencies have a similar system or if they have an internal process? It’s no wonder that so many officers are leaving the LAPD for other agencies. I believe that LAPD has the very best Officers, however they do not get the credit or respect that they deserve both from the public and from the city politicians. By the way, did everyone hear about the Mr. Muhammad? Can you believe that the City Attorney is not going press charges against him? They say it’s a lack of evidence? This does not make sense to me... I guess the word and report of the LAPD gang officers involved is not good enough... I thought this decision was ridiculous. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? I agree with the chief of police, and believe Mr. Muhammad should be charged.
