Daryl Gates Dies at 83
Controversial (to say the least) former LAPD chief Daryl F. Gates died today at the age of 83, after a short fight with cancer.
From the extensive L.A. Times obit:
The controversial chief, whose tenure ran from 1978 to 1992, spent his entire four-decade career at the LAPD, where he won national attention for innovative approaches to crime fighting and prevention: He instituted military-style SWAT teams to handle crises and the gentler DARE classroom program to prevent drug abuse.
