LAPD Computer System Targets Rogue Cops
An AP newswire article, via Wired News, reports that:
Dogged by scandal, the Los Angeles Police Department is looking beyond human judgment to technology to identify bad cops.
This month, the agency began using a $35 million computer system that tracks complaints and other telling data about officers -- then alerts top supervisors to possible signs of misconduct.
The system is central to a federal oversight program ordered by the U.S. Justice Department after a wave of abuse allegations in the 1990s cast doubt on the LAPD's ability -- and willingness -- to police itself.
