L.A. Justice
—Robert Vernon
Hard Cover | 254 Pages | $15.00

The drama of California Highway Patrol and L.A. Police chasing a speeding vehicle on the highway was somewhat routine. Yet after the driver, Rodney King, was stopped, history-making events began to unfold. The excessive force of the officers hitting Rodney King repeatedly with their batons, and kicking him—which was captured on home video—stunned the nation.

Assistant Chief of Police Bob Vernon was on duty as acting chief the day the story hit the news. In L.A. Justice he provides an insiders view of how the LAPD responded to those events.

Some in law enforcement, including Bob Vernon, knew that civil unrest was likely to occur completing the trial of the four LAPD officers charged in the incident. Plans were made and training was ordered to ensure the police were prepared. L.A. Justice describes those plans—along with why most weren't carried out.

Why did the police react slowly and without resolve? Were behind the scenes politics allowing a disaster to develop? What smoldering tensions ignited the raging inferno in the Los Angeles riots of '92?

About the Author

Robert (Bob) Vernon retired from the LAPD after 37 years on the Force. The son of a 20-year LAPD officer, Bob rose through the ranks from rookie street cop to second in command of one of the world's most respected police departments.

He earned an MBA at Pepperdine University; graduated from the University of Southern California's Managerial Policy Institute; and from the FBI's National Executive Institute. Bob Vernon and his wife Ester, live in Pasadena, California, and have two grown children and nine grandchildren.

Since "retirement" Bob Vernon founded the Pointman Leadership Institute, earlier named The Vernon Group, which has been asked to assist police agencies in former Soviet bloc countries. Police executives from these nations wanted to learn a more democratic model of police operation; including a re-education based on the morals, ethics, and spiritual concepts that developed "Western" culture.

Seminars began in 1994 in the Czech Republic and Hungary, and have since spread to over thirty countries. Not limited to police agencies, interest in principle-based ethics from Pointman Seminars has come from parliament members, military leaders, business professionals, educators, community groups and non-profit organizations.

Pointman's principle-based leadership seminars go beyond just changing behavior. Focusing on the importance of ethics and the true heart of powerful leadership—an individual's character. Seminar participants learn:

The difference between managers and leaders.
Eight character traits of dynamic leaders.
Nine forces that demand change.
Ten forces that resist change.
Eleven desirable behaviors.
Essentials for public/private sector leaders.
How principle-based leadership works in real life.
The life cycle of organizations.
Proven principles that have been successfully implemented across time, cultures, and belief systems.
The difference between absolute and relative ethics.
Developing creativity, loyalty, and initiative in followers.
