Nearly three months after the Los Angeles Police Department vowed to find out why the department had not investigated 4,000 reported cases of child abuse, an in-depth audit of the cases is still not ready to deliver to county child welfare officials.
The department has canceled a scheduled presentation of the audit’s findings Monday, Jan. 13, before the Los Angeles County Commission for Children and Families citing the need to first share it with the Police Commission, according to Tamara Hunter, the commission’s executive director. The department has not yet rescheduled, Hunter said. The LAPD has not responded to questions about when the report will be available to the public.
Additionally, the LAPD captain who was overseeing the audit has been transferred out of his post.
