Bowron proposes a Little FBI for Los Angeles

The C B I would report to him, handle felonies and misdemeanors, and refer cases to the district attorney or city attorney as appropriate. It could probe police misconduct and trigger police chiefs to act, while denying moves to remove Police Chief Horrall. The grand jury resumes its vice inquiry as investigators seek witnesses linked to Brenda Allen.
