Two of the accused cadets were assigned to the 77th Street Division and the third to the Pacific Division, said Josh Rubenstein, LAPD public information director. They were booked in connection with the theft of the cruisers and other LAPD property, Beck said. Only programs at the 77th Street Division and Pacific Division are suspended, officials said. LAPD officials often look at such data when evaluating whether officers were justified in using force against someone. The stolen cars separated at some point, resulting in two chases that both ended in wrecks.
