As the editor, I have read or at least given these books a good browse. None of
these is a definative source of LAPD history, and in some cases the views are skewed to the author's beliefs, values and politics.
However, they give you a view of the Los Angeles Police Deparmtent that you may have not seen. Moreover, the Authors
of the Los Angeles Police Department, LAPD, provide you more insight, background and color from their first-hand experiences
in the Los Angeles Police Department, LAPD.
