The investigation comes on the heels of a series of arrests of LAPD officers. On April 24, an off-duty officer was arrested at a San Diego County checkpoint after Border Patrol agents found two men in his car who were in the country illegally, authorities said. Mambasse Patara — a 42-year-old officer assigned to the LAPD's South Traffic Division — later pleaded not guilty to federal charges of transporting people who were in the country illegally.
