Inglewood Police Department
If the Inglewood Police Department has arrested or is investigating you, a member of your family or a loved one, one may need to know the bail amount (if any) associated with the offense, the legal and factual requirements to convict one for the crime that allegedly took place, the defenses possible and the punishment a judge can impose if one is convicted of the crime.
We at Greg Hill & Associates believe it is also prudent for one to know a few more things before interacting with any branch of law enforcement. It can be helpful to know the size of the police or sheriff’s department, the city’s demographics, the most frequent types of crime the department investigates and just a bit about the city’s history to make one’s communication with law enforcement more meaningful, more savvy and perhaps, more respectful. This can lead to a better outcome than if one lacks such perspective.
This article is presented with this goal in mind.
Criminal cases involving arrests by the Inglewood Police Department are filed at the Inglewood Superior Court or, with more serious cases, at the Clara Shortridge Foltz criminal courts building (CCB) in downtown Los Angeles.
Felony cases that start in the Inglewood Superior Court are often transferred to the Torrance Superior Court after the preliminary hearing.
Most misdemeanor cases arising in Inglewood are prosecuted by the Inglewood City Attorney’s office.
Over the last 25 years, Greg Hill & Associates has handled dozens, if not 100, cases out of the Inglewood courthouse. The types of cases have ranged from attempted murder with criminal street gang allegations, to DUI, to domestic violence, to solicitation of prostitution, to shoplifting.
"No blacks had ever lived in Inglewood,” Gladys Waddington wrote prior to 1960, but by 1960, "they lived in great numbers” along its eastern borders. This came to the great displeasure of the predominantly white residents already residing in Inglewood. In 1960, the census counted only 29 "Negroes" among Inglewood's 63,390 residents. Not a single black child attended the city's schools. Real-estate agents refused to show homes to blacks. A rumored curfew kept blacks off the streets at night. Inglewood was a prime target because of its previous history of restrictions. "Fair housing and school busing were the main problems of 1964. The schools were not prepared to handle racial incidents, even though any that occurred were very minor. Adults held many heated community meetings, since the blacks objected to busing as much as did the whites."
In 1969, an organization called "Morningside Neighbors" changed its name to "Inglewood Neighbors" "in the hope of promoting more integration."
On July 22, 1970, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Max F. Deutz ordered Inglewood schools to desegregate in response to a suit filed by 19 parents. At least since 1965, said Deutz, the Inglewood school board had been aware of a growing influx of black families into its eastern areas, but had done nothing about the polarization of its pupils into an eastern black area and a western white one.
As of the 2010 U.S. Census, Inglewood had a population of 109,673. The racial makeup of of Inglewood was 50.6% Hispanics or Latinos (of any race), 43.9% African American, 23.3% White (2.9% non-Hispanic White), 0.7% Native American, 1.5% Asian, 26.3% from other races, and 4.1% from two or more races.
According to the 2010 Census, Inglewood had a median household income of $43,394, with 22.4% of the population living below the federal poverty line.
In 2022, Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count counted 751 homeless individuals in Inglewood.
Inglewood is home to the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League, who play at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The stadium hosted Super Bowl LVI in 2022 and will host Super Bowl LXI in 2027. The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Kings played their home games at the Kia Forum from 1967 to 1999, until the completion of the Crypto.com Arena in Downtown Los Angeles.
On July 26, 2019, the Los Angeles Clippers announced plans to build a new arena and entertainment center in Inglewood. The announcement explained that the new arena would be completed at the same time their current leasing agreement with Crypto.com Area is set to expire.
