Claiming to have made LA &#8220;one of the safest cities in America,&#8221; Bratton&#8217;s future job is the head of a private security firm in New York. LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has remarked that he favors a replacement LAPD chief who would largely continue Bratton&#8217;s policies. The LAPD has long been stained by scandal, including the Rodney King beatings that sparked the 1992 riots, and an expose of corruption in the Rampart police department, leading to a consent decree with the US Department of Justice. The consent decree was meant to address issues of racial bias, corruption and police brutality. Just last month, a Federal judge ruled that oversight of the LAPD would be phased out over the next three years. According to Chief Bratton, the LAPD has come a long way in improving racial relations, in particular with African American and Latino populations. A major aspect of Bratton&#8217;s work has been to address LA&#8217;s gang violence, with the so-called Broken Windows approach. Earlier this year, Bratton and Villaraigosa unveiled an ambitious plan to fight gangs. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUESTS: Joel Rubin, LA Times writer, Mirna SolorZano, interim Executive Director of Homies Unidos<\/em>.
