Per section 921 of the California Penal Code, the Civil Grand Jury is entitled to free access at all reasonable times to these facilities. It is the responsibility of the Detention Committee to ensure that the Civil Grand Jury makes a good faith effort to visit each of the detention facilities within the County of Los Angeles (County), and makes a record of each facility visited. ACTIVITIES In order to ensure that all detention facilities in the County could be visited, the Detention Committee must assign Civil Grand Jury members to groups, each group consisting of at least two members, and then assign each group to a subset of detention facilities within the County. A spreadsheet containing all such facilities was made, and was used to generate a list of facilities for each group. In addition, the same spreadsheet kept track of all facilities that were visited, the dates of visitations, and the group members who participated in each visit. The 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury Members formed seven groups. Each group was comprised of at least two jurors, and was responsible for visiting a subset of the detention centers within the County. In order to minimize travel requirements for individuals, each group represented a particular area of the County, and members were chosen for each group based on the proximity of their homes to the areas visited by the group. For example, the group that visited several detention facilities in the southern reaches of the County was comprised of jurors from Long Beach and San Pedro. Wednesdays were set aside as the day of the week on which detention facilities would be visited. On those Wednesdays that facilities were visited, each group was able to visit between four and six detention sites. Thus, between 28 and 42 sites could be visited each week. Over a period of weeks beginning August 21, 2024 and continuing until September 18, 2024, the Civil Grand Jury was able to physically 1 arrive at 128 detention locations, though not all could be visited. Some sites are no longer in use, and some are closed due to issues that preclude the housing of detainees for the present time. The table below lists the detention facilities and stations visited by the 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury. For the purpose of ease of reading, the table begins on the following page.

Committee Chair Ken Jefferson, Committee Co-chair Terry Maynes, Committee Secretary Lee Jenkins 15 16 EDIT COMMITTEE REPORT According to California Penal Code 933 (a), each Civil Grand Jury shall submit a Final Report to the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court, which includes the findings, investigations, and the recommendations that concern the Los Angeles County government during the calendar year. DUTIES The 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury (Jury) is charged with thoroughly examining the submitted written contents of each Investigative and Standing Committee report before it is submitted to the Edit Committee for potential corrections. The Jury must approve the overall content of the report by a supermajority of its membership. Jury members are encouraged to submit their suggestions for grammatical, factual, and stylistic revisions to the Edit Committee once the content has been approved. The Edit Committee works with Jury members – at the Jury members’ requests – to solve any problems encountered in writing their reports. Once the document has been approved by the Jury, the Edit Committee meets with the committee that produced the original document to discuss any problems encountered during editorial review. The Edit Committee makes suggestions for changes to the written report in order to improve the presentation, but such changes are approved by the committee that created the report. All reports are compiled into the Final Report by the Publication Committee, which creates the layout for the printed proof of the Final Report. The report is submitted to the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court for final approval. For this publication, including this report, the Edit Committee has reviewed and edited every Investigative and Standing Committee report. ACRONYM Jury 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury COMMITTEE MEMBERS Bob Nathan, Committee Chair Jenalea Smith, Committee Co-chair Lee Jenkins, Committee Secretary Bill Allen Michele McKinley Margaret Hatfield Jesse Rhines 2 HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Hospitality Committee is made up of six members of the Civil Grand Jury. The Hospitality Committee organized social events, provided beverages and supplies, and promoted collegiality among the members which allowed for a general feeling of togetherness and a friendly working environment. By general vote and agreement of the Grand Jury, the Committee established a monthly contribution amount for the general fund. The monies collected were used to buy needed supplies, monthly birthday celebrations and incidentals. Members of the Civil Grand Jury were assigned in teams of two, on rotation, for weekly clean-up duties. Holiday lunches were catered or celebrated in a local establishment. Birthday celebrations were marked with assorted bakery items and/or ice cream brought into the office lunch area. COMMITTEE MEMBERS Lynn Gidlow Co-Chair Margaret Hatfield Co-Chair Wayne Metcalf Co-Treasurer Terry Maynes Co-Treasurer Joel Floyd 1 2 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DUTIES The members of the 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury (CGJ) were provided touch-screen laptop computing devices, primarily for performing research using the global Internet, creating content to be shared within the CGJ, and creating, editing, and reviewing reports generated by the investigations carried out by the CGJ. The Information Technology Committee (IT) is a small collection of individuals who are experienced in the use of, and interaction with, the programs and operating system provided to the CGJ, and is responsible for assisting the Jury in using the platform and software. That is, IT has NO responsibility for implementing or maintaining information and networking systems, firewalls, databases, virtual private networks, computer hardware or operating system configuration, as one might be misled to expect given the common usage of the acronym IT. The basic responsibilities of IT are to explain things like how to store created content in appropriate locations on the server, how to save and retrieve information downloaded from the Internet, and how to integrate created content with content provided from other sources. In addition, IT was responsible for ensuring that all information stored on the local shared server is backed up on a regular basis. Finally, IT created the templates, agreed upon by the entire Jury, to ensure reports conform to an accepted format, so that the final publication has a uniform appearance. ACTIVITIES In the preceding section, we noted that content shared on the local server must be backed up regularly. IT chose to perform daily backups starting August 6, 2024. Lacking automation software, the backups are performed by copying from the server onto multi-terabyte USB hard drives. There is a complete backup of content and data that is accessible to Jury members for every day that the Jury was in session. IT began by backing up every afternoon, but as the time to back up the server increased beyond fifteen minutes per day, IT began coming in early and backing up before the Jury opened the daily session. This saved the previous day’s work, and did not sacrifice any part of the session during the day. To provide uniformity to reports, IT created templates for Microsoft Word documents that are inserted – by IT – into the Microsoft Word Templates subfolder within each juror’s Documents folder. The templates specify fonts, margins, spacing, and other formatting rules that were agreed upon by a super- majority of jurors. Templates for Standing Committee Reports, and for Investigative Reports were created and provided to Jury members before the writing of reports was begun. Most remaining activities consisted of instructive presentations, assistance to jurors with the usage of laptops and Microsoft Office software, and methodology for documents accepted by the Jury and submitted to the Edit Standing Committee. It was also the job of IT to recognize problems created by faulty hardware, and submit the information to CGJ administrators. RECOMMENDATIONS In order to obscure visibility to content supporting and created for Jury Investigations, the IT committee felt there should be a server volume that is exclusively available to the members of the Jury, and a separate volume that is used to share information between members of the Jury and the administrative staff. This provided a more effective method of keeping research and investigations confidential to the Jury. The new Microsoft SharePoint server was extremely helpful to providing a method that allowed external agencies to get information to the Jury in a way that is confidential and fast. We would ask the administration to consider using the SharePoint portal in a complementary way. SharePoint can be used to create a temporary location, available over the Internet, where an external agent, or external agents, may provide temporary login credentials to access files in the temporary location. This can be used to implement a method for getting documents to informants and agencies that is more secure than electronic mail, faster than postal mail, and in many cases more expedient and cheaper than hand delivery. Finally, on November 5, 2024, IT made a request to Grand Jury administration that the site http://grandjury.co.la.ca.us/ be replaced with a SSL secured site. We include a copy of the request in an appendix. The next Civil Grand Jury might follow-up on this request if it is of interest.

Each year the CGJ is mandated to investigate local governmental functions and operations, as well as, interview various experts and public officials to create a final report at the end of the term. The final product, 450 professionally bound books, is subsequently delivered to Los Angeles County Superior Court judges, the County Board of Supervisors, and the heads of County and City departments who contributed to CGJ’s many inquiries. For those agencies over which the CGJ does NOT have jurisdiction or is NOT required to provide responses to recommendations resulting from an investigation, will receive a personalized “Courtesy Letter” in early July, 2025. These letters contain links to the CGJ report webpage ( a printed URL as well as a generated QR code), and an individualized message detailing how their contribution led to the findings and recommendations of a specific report. The CGJ’s final report will be posted online at : http://grandjury.co.la.ca.us/cgjreports.html 1 DISCUSSION The CGJ is mandated to compile a final report at the end of the term. Investigative and Standing Committee reports include investigative findings, background information, commendations, and recommendations. Each committee’s submission must be approved by the CGJ prior to inclusion in the final report. The Publication Committee is responsible for the report’s overall appearance and style of binding, numbering, pagination, and cover material. Further, the members of the CGJ perform the statutory duty of providing copies of the relevant portions of individual reports to designated persons prior to the publication of the reports. The Publication Committee’s additional responsibilities include: • The assembly of the final reports that will be submitted to the printer for the creation of the book. • Coordinating the CGJ’s professional group photograph. • In collaboration with the Edit Standing Committee, the approval of the final report layout prior to delivery to the printer. • Review and approval of the final report as it is returned from the printer. • The assembly of specific reports that must be delivered to those individuals who were department heads and interviewed for the various investigations. • The preparation of courtesy acknowledgement letters.

Maynes LeRoy Titus Carolyn Cobb 2 SPEAKERS AND TOURS The Speakers and Tours Committee (Committee) of the 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury (CGJ) was tasked with the responsibility of scheduling speakers as well as arranging tours of local government facilities. The Jury selected the individual speakers to be invited and the facilities to tour. This selection process was completed within the first month of the Jury’s deliberations. The prominent speakers chosen reflected the desire of the Jury to be educated and to obtain information on the responsibilities of their individual positions and any challenges they may be experiencing. A wide range of County and City speakers representing a variety of agencies were invited to speak. The tours of the selected facilities provided the Jury a first-hand look of the facility and an opportunity to observe the operations. ACTIVITIES It was important for the Committee to work diligently to schedule all speakers and tours early in the Jury year. This would provide information that might initiate investigations. Per a vote by the Jury, the Committee scheduled the following list of individuals to speak on various topics of general information and of specialized interest. SPEAKERS DATE NAME/TITLE AGENCY 08/07/24 Harold Holmes, Los Angeles County Executive Assistant to Animal Care & Control the Director 08/22/24 Max Huntsman, Office of Inspector Inspector General General 08/27/24 Steve Wicklander, Field Board of State and Representative Community Corrections (BSCC) 1 08/27/24 George Gascon, District Los Angeles County Attorney Office of the District Attorney 09/03/24 Suzanne Kluh, Director Greater Los Angeles of Scientific Technical Center Vector Control Services District 10/21/24 Margarita Lares, Chief Los Angeles Housing Program Officer Authority 10/22/24 Robert Luna, Sheriff Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department 10/24/24 Dr. Barbara Ferrer, Los Angeles County Director Department of Public Health 10/25/24 Tami Omoto Frias, Office of Los Angeles Senior Budget Deputy County Supervisor Hilda Solis – 1st District 11/05/24 Anthony Marrone, Chief Los Angeles County Fire Department 11/25/24 Alberto M. Carvalho, Los Angeles Unified Superintendent School District 2 The Committee scheduled tours to a number of facilities that provided a breadth of exposure and information for the Jury. The tours also included the major incarceration facilities. Transportation was arranged and provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. For several of the tours, the Jury went by carpool.

Solis First Care Weingart Foundation Village 11/29/24 County Medical Los Angeles County Examiner* Coroner’s Department *Car Pool RECOMMENDATIONS All Committee communications made to outside entities must be made by a minimum of two people. As stated above, it is highly recommended that the Committee begin to contact speakers as soon as possible. It is also recommended that the Committee develop a script to follow when calling to arrange for a speaker or tour. It was beneficial for the Committee to select a specific day of the week for the tours as well as for the speakers. When calling, the Committee of two will most likely be talking to a secretary or person in charge of scheduling. Be prepared to send letters of invitation explaining exactly what is being requested. It is also recommended that all tours and speakers be completed as soon as possible to prevent conflicts when the investigative committees begin to make appointments. As a result of the work of the Speakers and Tours Committee, several investigations were approved and launched by the Jury.

Per section 921 of the California Penal Code, the Civil Grand Jury is entitled to free access at all reasonable times to these facilities. It is the responsibility of the Detention Committee to ensure that the Civil Grand Jury makes a good faith effort to visit each of the detention facilities within the County of Los Angeles (County), and makes a record of each facility visited. ACTIVITIES In order to ensure that all detention facilities in the County could be visited, the Detention Committee must assign Civil Grand Jury members to groups, each group consisting of at least two members, and then assign each group to a subset of detention facilities within the County. A spreadsheet containing all such facilities was made, and was used to generate a list of facilities for each group. In addition, the same spreadsheet kept track of all facilities that were visited, the dates of visitations, and the group members who participated in each visit. The 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury Members formed seven groups. Each group was comprised of at least two jurors, and was responsible for visiting a subset of the detention centers within the County. In order to minimize travel requirements for individuals, each group represented a particular area of the County, and members were chosen for each group based on the proximity of their homes to the areas visited by the group. For example, the group that visited several detention facilities in the southern reaches of the County was comprised of jurors from Long Beach and San Pedro. Wednesdays were set aside as the day of the week on which detention facilities would be visited. On those Wednesdays that facilities were visited, each group was able to visit between four and six detention sites. Thus, between 28 and 42 sites could be visited each week. Over a period of weeks beginning August 21, 2024 and continuing until September 18, 2024, the Civil Grand Jury was able to physically 1 arrive at 128 detention locations, though not all could be visited. Some sites are no longer in use, and some are closed due to issues that preclude the housing of detainees for the present time. The table below lists the detention facilities and stations visited by the 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury. For the purpose of ease of reading, the table begins on the following page.

Department City PD For cities within the County other than Los Angeles which have their own police force, the local police department County County of Los Angeles COMMITTEE MEMBERS William Allen, Committee Chair Ken Jefferson, Committee Co-chair Terry Maynes, Committee Secretary Lee Jenkins 15 16 EDIT COMMITTEE REPORT According to California Penal Code 933 (a), each Civil Grand Jury shall submit a Final Report to the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court, which includes the findings, investigations, and the recommendations that concern the Los Angeles County government during the calendar year. DUTIES The 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury (Jury) is charged with thoroughly examining the submitted written contents of each Investigative and Standing Committee report before it is submitted to the Edit Committee for potential corrections. The Jury must approve the overall content of the report by a supermajority of its membership. Jury members are encouraged to submit their suggestions for grammatical, factual, and stylistic revisions to the Edit Committee once the content has been approved. The Edit Committee works with Jury members – at the Jury members’ requests – to solve any problems encountered in writing their reports. Once the document has been approved by the Jury, the Edit Committee meets with the committee that produced the original document to discuss any problems encountered during editorial review. The Edit Committee makes suggestions for changes to the written report in order to improve the presentation, but such changes are approved by the committee that created the report. All reports are compiled into the Final Report by the Publication Committee, which creates the layout for the printed proof of the Final Report. The report is submitted to the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court for final approval. For this publication, including this report, the Edit Committee has reviewed and edited every Investigative and Standing Committee report. ACRONYM Jury 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury COMMITTEE MEMBERS Bob Nathan, Committee Chair Jenalea Smith, Committee Co-chair Lee Jenkins, Committee Secretary Bill Allen Michele McKinley Margaret Hatfield Jesse Rhines 2 HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Hospitality Committee is made up of six members of the Civil Grand Jury. The Hospitality Committee organized social events, provided beverages and supplies, and promoted collegiality among the members which allowed for a general feeling of togetherness and a friendly working environment. By general vote and agreement of the Grand Jury, the Committee established a monthly contribution amount for the general fund. The monies collected were used to buy needed supplies, monthly birthday celebrations and incidentals. Members of the Civil Grand Jury were assigned in teams of two, on rotation, for weekly clean-up duties. Holiday lunches were catered or celebrated in a local establishment. Birthday celebrations were marked with assorted bakery items and/or ice cream brought into the office lunch area. COMMITTEE MEMBERS Lynn Gidlow Co-Chair Margaret Hatfield Co-Chair Wayne Metcalf Co-Treasurer Terry Maynes Co-Treasurer Joel Floyd 1 2 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DUTIES The members of the 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury (CGJ) were provided touch-screen laptop computing devices, primarily for performing research using the global Internet, creating content to be shared within the CGJ, and creating, editing, and reviewing reports generated by the investigations carried out by the CGJ. The Information Technology Committee (IT) is a small collection of individuals who are experienced in the use of, and interaction with, the programs and operating system provided to the CGJ, and is responsible for assisting the Jury in using the platform and software. That is, IT has NO responsibility for implementing or maintaining information and networking systems, firewalls, databases, virtual private networks, computer hardware or operating system configuration, as one might be misled to expect given the common usage of the acronym IT. The basic responsibilities of IT are to explain things like how to store created content in appropriate locations on the server, how to save and retrieve information downloaded from the Internet, and how to integrate created content with content provided from other sources. In addition, IT was responsible for ensuring that all information stored on the local shared server is backed up on a regular basis. Finally, IT created the templates, agreed upon by the entire Jury, to ensure reports conform to an accepted format, so that the final publication has a uniform appearance. ACTIVITIES In the preceding section, we noted that content shared on the local server must be backed up regularly. IT chose to perform daily backups starting August 6, 2024. Lacking automation software, the backups are performed by copying from the server onto multi-terabyte USB hard drives. There is a complete backup of content and data that is accessible to Jury members for every day that the Jury was in session. IT began by backing up every afternoon, but as the time to back up the server increased beyond fifteen minutes per day, IT began coming in early and backing up before the Jury opened the daily session. This saved the previous day’s work, and did not sacrifice any part of the session during the day. To provide uniformity to reports, IT created templates for Microsoft Word documents that are inserted – by IT – into the Microsoft Word Templates subfolder within each juror’s Documents folder. The templates specify fonts, margins, spacing, and other formatting rules that were agreed upon by a super- majority of jurors. Templates for Standing Committee Reports, and for Investigative Reports were created and provided to Jury members before the writing of reports was begun. Most remaining activities consisted of instructive presentations, assistance to jurors with the usage of laptops and Microsoft Office software, and methodology for documents accepted by the Jury and submitted to the Edit Standing Committee. It was also the job of IT to recognize problems created by faulty hardware, and submit the information to CGJ administrators. RECOMMENDATIONS In order to obscure visibility to content supporting and created for Jury Investigations, the IT committee felt there should be a server volume that is exclusively available to the members of the Jury, and a separate volume that is used to share information between members of the Jury and the administrative staff. This provided a more effective method of keeping research and investigations confidential to the Jury. The new Microsoft SharePoint server was extremely helpful to providing a method that allowed external agencies to get information to the Jury in a way that is confidential and fast. We would ask the administration to consider using the SharePoint portal in a complementary way. SharePoint can be used to create a temporary location, available over the Internet, where an external agent, or external agents, may provide temporary login credentials to access files in the temporary location. This can be used to implement a method for getting documents to informants and agencies that is more secure than electronic mail, faster than postal mail, and in many cases more expedient and cheaper than hand delivery. Finally, on November 5, 2024, IT made a request to Grand Jury administration that the site http://grandjury.co.la.ca.us/ be replaced with a SSL secured site. We include a copy of the request in an appendix. The next Civil Grand Jury might follow-up on this request if it is of interest.

Each year the CGJ is mandated to investigate local governmental functions and operations, as well as, interview various experts and public officials to create a final report at the end of the term. The final product, 450 professionally bound books, is subsequently delivered to Los Angeles County Superior Court judges, the County Board of Supervisors, and the heads of County and City departments who contributed to CGJ’s many inquiries. For those agencies over which the CGJ does NOT have jurisdiction or is NOT required to provide responses to recommendations resulting from an investigation, will receive a personalized “Courtesy Letter” in early July, 2025. These letters contain links to the CGJ report webpage ( a printed URL as well as a generated QR code), and an individualized message detailing how their contribution led to the findings and recommendations of a specific report. The CGJ’s final report will be posted online at : http://grandjury.co.la.ca.us/cgjreports.html 1 DISCUSSION The CGJ is mandated to compile a final report at the end of the term. Investigative and Standing Committee reports include investigative findings, background information, commendations, and recommendations. Each committee’s submission must be approved by the CGJ prior to inclusion in the final report. The Publication Committee is responsible for the report’s overall appearance and style of binding, numbering, pagination, and cover material. Further, the members of the CGJ perform the statutory duty of providing copies of the relevant portions of individual reports to designated persons prior to the publication of the reports. The Publication Committee’s additional responsibilities include: • The assembly of the final reports that will be submitted to the printer for the creation of the book. • Coordinating the CGJ’s professional group photograph. • In collaboration with the Edit Standing Committee, the approval of the final report layout prior to delivery to the printer. • Review and approval of the final report as it is returned from the printer. • The assembly of specific reports that must be delivered to those individuals who were department heads and interviewed for the various investigations. • The preparation of courtesy acknowledgement letters.

Maynes LeRoy Titus Carolyn Cobb 2 SPEAKERS AND TOURS The Speakers and Tours Committee (Committee) of the 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury (CGJ) was tasked with the responsibility of scheduling speakers as well as arranging tours of local government facilities. The Jury selected the individual speakers to be invited and the facilities to tour. This selection process was completed within the first month of the Jury’s deliberations. The prominent speakers chosen reflected the desire of the Jury to be educated and to obtain information on the responsibilities of their individual positions and any challenges they may be experiencing. A wide range of County and City speakers representing a variety of agencies were invited to speak. The tours of the selected facilities provided the Jury a first-hand look of the facility and an opportunity to observe the operations. ACTIVITIES It was important for the Committee to work diligently to schedule all speakers and tours early in the Jury year. This would provide information that might initiate investigations. Per a vote by the Jury, the Committee scheduled the following list of individuals to speak on various topics of general information and of specialized interest. SPEAKERS DATE NAME/TITLE AGENCY 08/07/24 Harold Holmes, Los Angeles County Executive Assistant to Animal Care & Control the Director 08/22/24 Max Huntsman, Office of Inspector Inspector General General 08/27/24 Steve Wicklander, Field Board of State and Representative Community Corrections (BSCC) 1 08/27/24 George Gascon, District Los Angeles County Attorney Office of the District Attorney 09/03/24 Suzanne Kluh, Director Greater Los Angeles of Scientific Technical Center Vector Control Services District 10/21/24 Margarita Lares, Chief Los Angeles Housing Program Officer Authority 10/22/24 Robert Luna, Sheriff Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department 10/24/24 Dr. Barbara Ferrer, Los Angeles County Director Department of Public Health 10/25/24 Tami Omoto Frias, Office of Los Angeles Senior Budget Deputy County Supervisor Hilda Solis – 1st District 11/05/24 Anthony Marrone, Chief Los Angeles County Fire Department 11/25/24 Alberto M. Carvalho, Los Angeles Unified Superintendent School District 2 The Committee scheduled tours to a number of facilities that provided a breadth of exposure and information for the Jury. The tours also included the major incarceration facilities. Transportation was arranged and provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. For several of the tours, the Jury went by carpool. TOURS DATE LOCATION AGENCY 08/13/24 Men’s Central Jail Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department 08/29/24 Echo Park Tiny Homes Hope The Mission Village 09/19/24 Port of Los Angeles* City of Los Angeles 09/26/24 Los Angeles General County of Los Angeles Medical Center* Department of Health Services 09/29/24 Pitchess Detention Los Angeles County Center (North) Sheriff’s Department 10/13/24 Harbor Medical Center Los Angeles County Department of Health Services 10/17/24 Santa Clarita Senior Santa Clarita Senior Center Center Program 3 11/14/24 ReEntry Opportunity Los Angeles County Center Department of Health Services 11/14/24 Century Regional Los Angeles County Detention Facility Sheriff’s Department 11/21/24 Hilda L. Solis First Care Weingart Foundation Village 11/29/24 County Medical Los Angeles County Examiner* Coroner’s Department *Car Pool RECOMMENDATIONS All Committee communications made to outside entities must be made by a minimum of two people. As stated above, it is highly recommended that the Committee begin to contact speakers as soon as possible. It is also recommended that the Committee develop a script to follow when calling to arrange for a speaker or tour. It was beneficial for the Committee to select a specific day of the week for the tours as well as for the speakers. When calling, the Committee of two will most likely be talking to a secretary or person in charge of scheduling. Be prepared to send letters of invitation explaining exactly what is being requested. It is also recommended that all tours and speakers be completed as soon as possible to prevent conflicts when the investigative committees begin to make appointments. As a result of the work of the Speakers and Tours Committee, several investigations were approved and launched by the Jury.

Conclusions 4
-
CL1 Page 259State Law (hands off policy) 66prevents officer intervention in a potential violent situation.
-
CL2 Page 259LASD’s perceived political pressure prevents intervention
-
CL3 Page 259LASD fear of litigation prevents intervention The above three areas, State Law, political pressure and litigation interact to foster violence in the Medical Center.
-
CL4 Page 60In conclusion, the committee is of the opinion that people involved in the medical profession, and those who are first-responders, are generally altruistic, in the sense that welfare of the patient must come first. That being said, those responsible for the financial survival of the various institutions are faced with keeping and maintaining sources of revenue, and reducing operational costs. These dual aims are frequently in conflict. Therefore the committee attempted to make recommendations to the findings that are not fiscally impossible, but which appear promising, though they may require some time and effort to implement successfully.
