Chief Bernard Parks, announced that it was time to move beyond the Christopher Commission report (Riccardi & Ravin, 2000). Bernard says nearly 80 percent of the recommendation has been fully implemented by the LAPD. However, recent studies have concluded that there is still a long way to go for the Police Department to reach its goal. Reports indicate that managers have failed to correct the behavior of officials involved in multiple reports of misconduct (Riccardi & Ravin, 2000). Officers who abuse their powers have received minimal training, counseling or sanctions from their managers to help them reduce their bad behavior.
