Title
TEN MOST WANTED GANG MEMBERS
Subject
Motion - The Police Department has identified a number of crimes perpetrated by alleged gang members, as further detailed on the attached Police Department release. As a suspect or suspects and any other person or persons responsible for these crimes represent an ongoing threat to the safety of the people of Los Angeles, it is appropriate for the City of Los Angeles to offer a reward for information leading to the identification and apprehension of the person or persons responsible for each of the groups of crimes identified on the attached Police Department release. THEREFORE MOVE that, by adoption of this motion, the City Council provide offers of reward for information leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for each of the groups of crimes identified on the attached Police Department release, and in support thereof make the following findings pursuant to Division 19, Chapter 12, Article 1 of LAAC: 1. That each of the crimes identified on the attached Police Department release was caused by the willful misconduct of one or more persons. 2. That these offers of reward are consistent with and taken for the immediate protection of the public peace, health and safety of local residents, as well as visitors to the City, and is consistent with the need to arrest and convict the person or persons who, because of not being apprehended, could by their actions further terrorize and present a continuing and immediate menace to the rights of persons in the City. 3. That each of the groups of crimes identified on the attached Police Department release is an especially disturbing crime and therefore, as a matter of public policy, the City hereby offers a reward as an added inducement for persons to come forward with information leading to the identification and apprehension of the person or persons committing the willful misconduct. 4. That the sum of $50,000 shall be the aggregate maximum sum of any payment or payments of a City reward in each of the groups of crimes identified on the attached Police Department release. 5. That the offers of reward shall be in effect for 60 days from the date of the advertisement of the rewards by the City Clerk. FURTHER MOVE that the City Clerk be directed to cause notices and/or advertisements to be duly published according to the requirements of Division 19, Chapter 12, Article 1 of LAAC, and to thereby cause the offer of reward to become effective.
