LAPD apportent des compétences anti-gang à Dodger Stadium

La police utilisera la technologie de la criminalité et l'application de cartographie dynamique après avoir battu la semaine dernière, qui a laissé un ventilateur Giants hospitalisés. Limites sur les ventes d'alcool au stade est également à l'étude. Par Joel Rubin et le projet de loi Shaikin, Los Angeles Times avril 9, 2011 Publicité Le département de police de Los Angeles a annoncé son intention d'apporter des tactiques lutte contre la criminalité agressifs qu'elle emploie dans les rues de la ville en Dodger Stadium dans le cadre d'une opération de sécurité d'une semaine après la visite d'un ventilateur a été attaqué dans le stationnement du stade.

Surcharger une politique Dodger contre des policiers armés à l'intérieur du stade, Le chef de police Charlie Beck a déclaré vendredi que les agents en uniforme seront affichés tout au long de l'ordre de grandeur et seront plus agressif sur l'arrestation ou l'expulsion de gens qui causent des problèmes. Beck a également déclaré le propriétaire des Dodgers Frank McCourt avait accepté de payer pour une augmentation du nombre d'agents de patrouille LAPD dans le stade et les terrains de stationnement pendant et après les matchs.

McCourt a consenti aussi bien pour créer un système de suivi de la cartographie informatique et la criminalité pour le stade qui est semblable à celui de la police de Los Angeles a utilisé pendant des années à scruter les modèles de la criminalité et les points chauds à travers Los Angeles. L'analyse de l'ordinateur du ministère des données de la criminalité est considérée par de nombreux criminologues être un facteur dans le déclin de la ville de la criminalité au cours de la dernière décennie.

L'amélioration de la surveillance et de stationnement d'éclairage sont prévues aussi bien. Et l'organisation Dodger a accepté de révoquer les passes des détenteurs de billets de saison si eux ou leurs invités se conduisaient mal, Beck dit. “Si vous venez pour intimider, à antagoniser ... nous allons faire une de deux choses,” Beck dit.

“Vous allez être jeté hors du stade ou que vous allez obtenir d'aller en prison.

” Les changements, which will take effect in time for the Dodgers next home game on Thursday, mark a turnabout for the team. McCourt said last weekend that he was satisfied with the team’s security measures, dire “you could have 2,000 policemen there, and it’s just not going to change that random act of violence.

” But at a news conference Friday with Beck and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, McCourt said he fully supported a greater police presence and acknowledged hearing concerns from fans who felt unsafe at the stadium. “I hear you loudly and I hear you clearly,” dit-il. “We are going to redouble our efforts to make sure we fulfill our promise to the fans and all the citizens of the Greater Los Angeles area. We are going to provide a safe, family-friendly, fan-friendly environment at Dodger stadium.

I promise you that.” McCourt deflected a question from a reporter regarding complaints from some fans that the atmosphere at the park has become more hostile in recent years. He also expressed skepticism that curbing alcohol sales would make a significant difference.

“I don’t think it’s the sale of beer that’s a problem, per se. I think it’s the abuse of that privilege,” dit-il.

But Beck, in an interview, said he believed beer and alcohol consumption did, en fait, contribute to the problems at the stadium and said police officials were pushing the Dodgers to raise prices and stop sales at an earlier point in the games.

Dodger officials have told the LAPD that they are reconsidering their plan to sell half-price alcohol at six games this season. They also promised to look at prices and serving sizes for alcohol, as well as when to stop serving alcohol, according to Dodger spokesman Josh Rawitch.

Friday’s announcement capped a week of increasing scrutiny for the ballpark. Last Thursday, as fans left the stadium after the Dodgers’ opening day game against the rival San Francisco Giants, two men attacked 42-year-old Bryan Stow from behind. Stow remains in a medically induced coma and his doctors say he may have suffered brain damage. Detectives say they have received scores of tips and witnesses’ accounts involving the two assailants. Various rewards have been offered for information leading to their arrest, un montant total de $150,000.

Villaraigosa urged the attackers to turn themselves in. “What you did was wrong. It was despicable and senseless, unprovoked. Mais, make it a little better, by coming forward, by doing what will be looked at in hindsight as doing the civil, right thing when you’ve done wrong,” dit-il.

Beck attributed much of the problems at Dodger Stadium to “a fringe fan base” that is made up of gang members or troublemakers who dress and act the part. Dealing with them effectively, dit-il, will require bringing the LAPD’s tough stance on street crime into the park. “There is an element of society that has adopted the Dodgers and who go to their games for all the wrong reasons,” dit-il. “Can I fix that? Bien sûr. I fix that the same way we’re fixing the gang problem in Los Angeles.”

The department deploys anti-gang units throughout troubled spots of the city. Those officers work exclusively on combating gang crime and develop intimate knowledge of the gang members who are active in their areas. Beck said he was considering using anti-gang officers at games, but expressed confidence that regular patrol officers would be effective in deterring problems.

The total number of LAPD officers to be deployed at games was still being determined. Beck declined to detail the types of behavior that would get a fan expelled from a game.

Members of a team of security experts hired by McCourt this week to make recommendations for additional safety improvements were expected to arrive at the park Friday. The team is headed by former LAPD Chief William J. Bratton, who now runs Kroll, an international security consulting firm.

Rawitch said the team would wait until Bratton completes his review before deciding whether to make public some or all of his findings.
