60 Officers Join Lawsuit Against LAPD

Courts: Whistle-blowers who allege retaliation by department now total more
than 100, attorney says.

October 10, 2000 | CAITLIN LIU | TIMES STAFF WRITER

More than 60 current and former officers are joining a class-action lawsuit
against the Los Angeles Police Department that alleges retaliation against
whistle-blowers, bringing the total number of plaintiffs to more than 100,
an attorney said Monday.

The original lawsuit, filed Aug. 24 in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf
of 41 former and current employees, most of them officers, claims that the
LAPD has a culture that enforces a "code of silence" that leads to a
pattern of discrimination, harassment and retaliation against those who
report misconduct by other officers.
