April 14, 2025 – In a small gathering at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Downtown Los Angeles, the school’s new resource center was named in the memory of the late Los Angeles Police Department Deputy Chief Kenneth O. Garner.
Built with funds provided by the Rotary Club of Los Angeles, the resource collection includes books, online periodicals and peer-reviewed journals, DVD’s, access to academic research papers, and Internet-based research tools focused on the application of forensic psychology theories, principles, and evidence-based practices in law enforcement. The collection will be made available at no cost to criminal justice agencies and organizations including LAPD, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Mayor’s office, and community and faith-based organizations involved in local parolee reentry projects.
Deputy Chief Garner was a member of the LAPD for 31 years before his sudden passing in March of 2009. He was an active member of the community and last served as the Commanding Officer of Operations South Bureau. His work in starting the “Honor and Strength” parolee re-entry program has served as a pillar of hope for those individuals looking to get their lives back on track and become productive members of society.
