The FBI has joined an investigation of several Los Angeles Police Department gang officers who are suspected of questionable tactics during traffic stops.
The LAPD has launched an internal investigation into Mission Division gang officers over unspecified allegations, taking the unusual step of searching their lockers.According to multiple sources who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation, internal affairs investigators served search warrants on several officers’ lockers at the Mission police station on Aug. 18.
A department spokesperson, Capt. Kelly Muniz, previously confirmed the internal affairs investigation, but said she couldn’t provide further details because “this is an active investigation as well as a personnel matter.” A spokesperson for the district attorney’s office said the LAPD had not presented any criminal cases related to the internal affairs investigation.
