Los Angeles undercover police identities exposed online.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is investigating its chief and constitutional policing director after the names and photos of undercover officers were released to a watchdog group that posted them online. The Stop LAPD Spying Coalition posted over 9,300 officers' information and photographs in a searchable online database, following a public records request by a reporter for progressive news outlet Knock LA. The LAPD's release of the undercover officers' names and photographs was inadvertent, and the department is investigating the matter.
