Council asks police chief for interim Rampart investigation report next week
Summary
Council members introduced a motion directing the police chief to present an interim public report on the Rampart investigation at the first available council meeting next week and asked the city clerk to place it on the agenda.
The Los Angeles City Council announced on Feb. 4 that members introduced a motion asking the police chief to present an interim, public report on the Rampart investigation at next week's council meeting.
Council member Misakowski announced the motion on the floor: "There has been a motion that has been introduced ... we're requesting the chief to be directed to present an interim report to the city council next week and ask the city clerk to agenda the first available agenda," she said, explicitly naming the Rampart investigation.
The council record shows the motion was introduced and will be placed on the first available agenda by the city clerk. The item as presented on the floor was an announcement of that motion and did not include a roll-call vote or further details about timing or the report's scope.
Why it matters: The Rampart investigation has been a high-profile internal-affairs and public-safety matter. A council-requested interim report would provide elected officials and the public with an opportunity to hear the Police Department's progress and to ask questions in public session.
Next steps: The city clerk will schedule the item on the first available council agenda, and the police chief is expected to appear to present the interim report; no additional details or a formal vote were recorded when the motion was announced on the council floor.
