20-year El Segundo Home Owner
Chief Whalen from front page
feel marginalized and who we aren’t aware of
right now, I say let’s try that out and see if it
works.” Acting on the state, national, and local
calls for reform, El Segundo police recently
adopted new policies to avert injuries and
police brutality claims. The new standard for
police use-of-use limits:
• Chokeholds and strangleholds to dangerous
situations for officers and the public.
• Require police to attempt to de-escalate a
situation before using any force.
• Officers must turn on body cameras when
dealing with a suspect.
• All use of force must be reported to a
supervisor and detailed in a report.
The department’s responsibility is to provide
the highest-quality service to everyone
in the community, the chief said. “If we can
find ways to do that, I’m 100 percent behind
it.” This is why he believes it’s the right time
for the citywide commission on diversity and
inclusion to advise El Segundo officials once
the panel is formed. The commission grew
out of the Black Lives Matter demonstrations.
Mayor Drew Boyles and council members
have been receptive to addressing systemic
racism issues in the city government since the
peaceful demonstrations began in El Segundo
around Memorial Day. Chief Whalen said it’s
his hope that commissioners - who are yet to
be chosen - will vet ideas for fair and equal
treatment of all residents and visitors to El
Segundo and act as a conduit between activists
and city officials. “My hope is the commission
will seek first to understand what it’s like to be
a police officer and what’s it like to respond
to calls for service,” the chief said, adding that
the El Segundo black lives group hasn’t been
hostile toward Whalen or his officers.
“I know there’s maybe a few retirees and people
from my generation that view us as an us-vs.-
them. And I think that’s the wrong way to look
at this,” said Chief Whalen, who felt some
backlash after posing with a student-led group
of Black Lives Matter demonstrators. A photo
of him holding a sign circulated on social media
and law enforcement websites, and though he
was criticized by some, his officers backed him.
The demonstrators, who met again Sunday
in Library Park, have been respectful and appreciative
of the professionalism shown by the
El Segundo officers and the chief. Participants
in the rallies and who’ve spoken before the
City Council have spoken up because people
of color don’t feel safe - not just in El Segundo
- but wherever they go. According to
Chief Whalen, listening to their concerns and
acknowledging that fear of police exists is
part of his job. “It’s my obligation as chief to
make sure we deal with that.”
The El Segundo for Black Lives Matter
members are trying to draw attention to the
experiences and stories of local residents, according
to Whalen. Of 11 demands presented to
the city by the group, five deal with policing and
question whether people of color attract more
attention from officers. One African-American
resident recently told the City Council that his
son, who played basketball at El Segundo High
School, was singled out and questioned by
police for going door-to-door at night asking
for donations to the team.
“I feel horrible,” Whalen said, explaining
that police don’t like to respond to calls like
that. It puts them in a bad position, the chief
explained, and to correct it from happening,
supervisors and officers can cancel a call after
asking for more information. El Segundo
supervisors, too, are trained to recognize a
call for service that is symptomatic of racial
profiling - according to Whalen.
Racial profiling is against department policy,
and yet people of color believe they attract
more attention from police officers. In the
current climate of police reform and more
cultural awareness, Whalen said it’s his task
to erase law enforcement’s past perceptions.
Black police officers have experienced racism,
too, from wary citizens. People have called
911 to report “a black person dressed up as a
police officer,” the chief recounted. It didn’t
happen recently or El Segundo.
Are the days of “see something, say something”
over? Hardly. Someone peeking in the
front window of a home or looking in parked
cars is legitimate to call the police. So are loud
disturbances and suspicious noises on the street
in the middle of the night. Citizens who are
essential to community-based policing have
entered a new era, and they’re needed more
than ever to deal with the escalating thefts and
burglaries in town.
There’s been a spike in property crime on
McCarthy Court and along Imperial Avenue.
Auto burglaries have jumped since the homeconfinement
order for the coronavirus was lifted.
According to the chief, the catch-and-release
policy for non-violent offenders because of
California bail reform has contributed to the
crime wave.
The pandemic, combined with a statewide
no-bail system, is keeping non-violent offenders
out of jail. El Segundo officers have detained and
arrested suspects, and a check of their pockets
turned up jail-booking slips in other cities for
the same offense, according to the chief. Whalen
is hopeful lawmakers will revisit the bail reform
law because jails have become a revolving door
for repeat offenders. Thieves near McCarthy
Court are reportedly removing catalytic converters
from cars at night. At the same time, closer to
Hillcrest and Imperial Avenue, there’ve been
numerous reports of vehicle break-ins and people
checking for unlocked vehicles in carports. •
