The Los Angeles Police Department has developed a systematic approach to investigating and managing cases involving stalking, workplace violence, and threats to high-profile individuals, including celebrities and elected officials. The authors note that there is no checklist or “one size fits all” formula to successfully manage these cases. From the law enforcement perspective, successful case management comes from experience, a fundamental understanding of threat assessment principles, in-depth familiarity with applicable laws, and knowing the available resources within jurisdictional control. This chapter explores the nuances inherent in investigations of this type, the necessity to integrate multiple avenues of prevention and intervention, and the critical role that mental health plays.

On December 25, 1951, approximately fifty Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers brutally beat seven young men in their custody, including five Mexican Americans. The ensuing controversy became known as Bloody Christmas. Mexican American activists demanded investigations into allegations of police brutality and LAPD accountability to civilian control. The LAPD's new chief, William Parker, however, had just launched a reform campaign based on the police professionalism model, which stressed police autonomy, particularly about internal discipline. Parker and his allies in city government stifled external investigations into department matters, vilified LAPD critics, and even ignored perjury by officers. They thus helped create an organizational culture that valued LAPD independence above the rule of law and led to the LAPD's estrangement from Mexican American and other minority communities.
