Throwing Punches To Stay Out Of Trouble

Riverside PD challenges at-risk teens to put up their dukes
The Riverside Police Department is the latest law enforcement agency to team up with community members in order to help them throw down in a controlled setting.

But the concept is a little bit different than you might think.

It can be bad enough when you lose your car keys or sunglasses, but in the case of the San Diego Police Department, they're facing a slightly bigger issue.

Earlier this week, a local newspaper's watchdog group found that the funds were absorbed into the department during property seizures.  It also included monies confiscated from drug dealers at the time of their arrest.

The law requires that seized and forfeited assets be shared between local and state law enforcement agencies.

And despite the SDPD showing …

Federal Judge Sets Trial In Alleged SDPD Misconduct Case

Court will decide if SDPD engaged in systematic cover-up of wrongdoing
Convicted San Diego Police Officer Anthony Arrevalos is like a bad rash that just won't go away.

The former officer, who is currently serving a prison sentence stemming from an on-the-job sexual misconduct conviction may soon be back in court.

Although a trial date has been set for …

Got Diversity? Some Say The SDPD Does Not

Minority populations not well represented within the department
Attrition in the San Diego Police Department is dwindling it's diversity.

Current racial break downs show the SDPD has 9 percent fewer Hispanic and 8 percent fewer Asian officers than it did just for years ago.

Recruiting efforts are still going strong, according to department sources, and the department wants to create an ethnically diverse workplace.  For now, however, those efforts are falling short.

If you look at the citywide demographics, less than 50 percent of San Diego residents are Caucasian- but Caucasian officers make up nearly 60 percent of the police force.
