Four years after the Torrance Police Department called on the California Attorney General's Office for a review of its policies and practices following a racist text scandal was uncovered, an "enforceable agreement" between the two parties was announced on Thursday.
The agreement came in the form of a multi-page report, with CA Attorney General Rob Bonta praising the department for being proactive in seeking correction and oversight.
"It's rare for a police department to proactively seek out review," he said. "I hope that other agencies will look at Torrance's commitment to improvement to transparency and to partner with our office as a model."
