The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is the police department of the City of Los Angeles, California. With over 9,000 officers and 3,000 civilian staff, covering an area of 473 square miles with a population of nearly 4 million people, it is the third largest law enforcement agency in the United States (trailing behind the New York Police Department and Chicago Police Department). The LAPD has had a rich history, including occasional incidents of brutality and corruption. The agency is famous world wide and has been heavily fictionalized in numerous movies and television shows.

It has been said that the department has suffered from chronic underfunding; that in comparison to most large cities, it has one of the lowest ratios of police personnel to population served and thus the current chief, William J. Bratton, has made enlarging the force one of his top priorities. (Bratton has been quoted as saying, "You give me 4000 more officers and I'll give you the safest city in the world.") Yet the LAPD's own web site shows five of the ten largest cities in the United States with lower officer to resident ratios in their LAPD news release of January, 2006. Notably, the largest city in the United States (New York) has a 33% lower crime rate with a 14% lower ratio.
