N.Y. ex-commissioner named to head L.A. police.
Los Angeles. Former New York police commissioner William
Bratton, who was formally named yesterday as Mayor Jim Hahn's choice
for Los Angeles police chief, pledged to return a demoralized LAPD to
its "shining" glory, which has been badly tarnished by more
than a decade of scandal. Mr Bratton, 54, defended his reputation in
New York of zero tolerance of minor street crimes. Reuters.
