LOS ANGELES COP WINS $3.1 MILLION AGAINST THE LAPD IN A RETALIATION CLAIM
A Los Angeles police officer was retaliated against by his employer, the LAPD, after he reported his supervisor’s misconduct. It is against the law for an employer, even the LAPD, to retaliate against an employee for reporting illegal practices at work. The Court found that the LAPD retaliated against the officer, a 25 year veteran of the force, by demoting him after he refused to comply with their unlawful requests to drop the complaint.
