Language of Material: EnglishContributing Institution: USC Libraries Special CollectionsTitle: Los Angeles Webster Commission recordscreator: Los Angeles (Calif.). Police CommissionIdentifier/Call Number: 0244Physical Description: 50 Linear Feet40 boxesDate (inclusive): 1931-1992Date (bulk): bulkAbstract: On April 29, 1992, the city of Los Angeles erupted into riots after four LAPD officers accused of beating motoristRodney King were acquitted of all criminal charges. The effects were catastrophic; in total, the chaos persisted for six daysand resulted in 58 deaths, 2,383 injuries, and nearly a billion dollars in property damage. The extent of the human andmaterial losses incurred from the riots, coupled with intense public scrutiny of the LAPD, led the Los Angeles Board of PoliceCommissioners to establish the Webster Commission to assess law enforcement's performance in connection with the riots.Included in this collection are interviews, article clippings, broadcasts, reports, emergency operations plans, and internalLAPD documents that were collected and analyzed by the Commission over the course of its study.

Historical noteOn April 29, 1992, riots erupted in Los Angeles just minutes after four LAPD officers were acquitted by a California jury inthe controversial and highly publicized Rodney King trial. The officers, who were Caucasian and Latino, had been chargedwith using excessive force in the apprehension of King, who was African American, after a high-speed automobile chasethat was caught on tape. The riots lasted for six days and resulted in widespread looting, assault, arson, and murderthroughout much of Los Angeles and its suburbs. All-in-all, 58 people died, 2,383 were injured, and close to a billion dollarsin property damage was sustained.Once the violence had subsided, the LAPD and the Chief of Police, Daryl Gates, came under intense scrutiny for usingexcessive force in the King incident, for failing to prepare for civil unrest prior to the acquittals, and for not reacting swiftlyand sufficiently to end the violence. Private citizens, community activists, politicians, the media, and many law enforcementofficials cast their doubts as to whether the LAPD was capable of adequately serving and protecting the citizens of LosAngeles.By a motion adopted on May 11, 1992, the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners spearheaded an investigation aimedat examining law enforcement's performance in connection with the riots. Former federal judge and director of the FBI andCIA, William H. Webster, was selected by the Board to preside over the investigation. Hubert Williams, head of a respectedlaw enforcement think tank and the former Police Director of Newark, New Jersey, was named second-in-command.Webster and Williams were assisted by more than 100 attorneys and a small staff on loan from other cities' policedepartments to conduct the study.Five months later, the Webster Commission concluded its study and synthesized its findings in a report entitled The City inCrisis that was presented to the Board of Police Commissioners on October 21, 1992. The report concluded that no oneentity was entirely to blame for the events following the Rodney King acquittals; rather, rioting became rampant due to ageneral lack of emergency preparedness and poor coordination between the LAPD and city leaders. The report concludedwith three recommendations aimed at preventing similar occurrences in the future:(1) The LAPD should place a greater emphasis on basic patrol duties by re-allocating police officers away from special unitsand toward patrol assignments.(2) Both the LAPD and the City of Los Angeles should devote more resources to emergency response planning and training.(3) The city should overhaul its emergency operations center and emergency communications system to better coordinateemergency response procedures.In its investigation, the Webster Commission took into account information attained from a wide variety of sources,including LAPD officers, other law enforcement personnel, politicians, the media, and community leaders.Conditions Governing UseAll requests for permission to publish or quote from manuscripts must be submitted in writing to the Manuscripts Librarian.Permission for publication is given on behalf of Special Collections as the owner of the physical items and is not intended toinclude or imply permission of the copyright holder, which must also be obtained.Conditions Governing AccessCOLLECTION STORED OFF-SITE.
