The LAPD Files
With help from the ACLU of Southern California, Million Dollar Hoods sued the LAPD and won access to an unprecedented cache of historical records documenting LAPD activities in L.A.’s Million Dollar Hoods between the 1970s and early 2000s. We call these records the LAPD Files. To access the LAPD Files, open the archives box.
