LOS ANGELES COP WINS SETTLEMENT AGAINST LAPD
In California, it is your right as an employee to report instances of improper or illegal behavior in your workplace. When a Los Angeles police officer stood up for his female co-worker, who was the recipient of lewd jokes and other types of sexual harassment, the department veteran was ostracized by his co-workers and managers after he complained to his supervisors of the illegal activity taking place at work. Additionally, he was demoted and assigned a desk job.
As a result of standing up for his rights as a CA employee and taking the LAPD to court, the police officer won $3.6 million in damages. This award was the second multimillion-dollar jury verdict in the last three months resulting from retaliation claims at the LAPD.
