The streets of
Compton are considered the toughest anywhere in the United
States, but the cops who worked these streets were tougher.
This site was created by the
Compton Police Officers who were a part of the last 20 years of
the department. A time of great turbulence - with riots, murder
of police officers, the beginning of Gangster Rap and the rise
and fall of Death Row Records.
Investigations of the murders of
Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls both lead back to the city of
Compton.
The Compton Police Officers' Association
lead a fight to back the citizens of Compton against a corrupt local government.
This lead to the dismantling of the Compton Police Department
before the city officials themselves were voted out of office, indicted,
and later jailed.
The purpose of
this site is to acknowledge our police department's efforts
against the small lawless part of the community that was
responsible for the majority of the crimes - the gangs.
The vast majority of citizens of Compton are law abiding and supportive of
police. The last several years in existence Compton P.D. recorded a
downward trend in crime in the community. The citizens were very supportive
of our efforts over the years. Many of the Compton police were from the
community, and those who were not, learned from those who were. The officers
have many friends in the community, and shared their concerns. We would like
to thank all the citizens of Compton who supported us against the corrupt
local government that shut us down. The community involvement of clergy,
citizen leaders, and community members that supported us to the end was very
heartening. These same leaders and citizens kept up the pressure
after we were gone. The citizens got rid of the corrupt council members, and
instilled a mayor and council of trust. The citizenry continues to mobilize
to get people involved to stop the violence. We applaud the efforts of the
citizens of Compton. Several local cities including South Gate and Lynwood
have followed your lead, and are making local governments accountable.
