Inspector General flags LAPD after lack of records on overseas training

An inspector general report finds the LAPD lacks a system to track overseas training, making it hard to gauge benefits. Since 2014, 243 officers attended 117 foreign training activities, including 18 officers who traveled to Israel on nine trips costing $87,000, plus other trainings in France, Italy and more; many trip summaries are brief or missing key details, and prior records were partially deleted. About 80% of travel is funded by outside sources, raising potential conflicts of interest. LAPD says it is creating a tracking system and may require post-training evaluations, while critics warn of opaque ties to foreign security forces.
