On July 3, 2013, near the intersection of Oak Street and Hillcrest Boulevard, about one mile west of Hillcrest and Nutwood, where IPD officers pulled over Bryan Bostic earlier this year, Officers Salman Nazir (#844) fired thirteen rounds, and Randy Rodriguez (#681) fired two rounds, hitting 30-year-old Joshua Luis Jimenez multiple times.

Jimenez received two gunshot wounds to each thigh and a broken femur, documents reveal.

Prior to the incident, an unknown woman flagged down the officers to inform them that someone in the vicinity was carrying a gun. While officers were approaching the area where she had said he was located, they saw Jimenez approaching. The officers began giving commands, but he did not listen to or comply with either officer.

Jimenez later “bent down behind the tree while holding his waistband. Officers Nazir and Rodriguez believed Jimenez was arming himself,” read the Inglewood Police document. “In fear for their lives and each other’s safety, Officer Nazir fired thirteen rounds and Officer Rodriguez fired two rounds, hitting Jimenez multiple times. Jimenez was taken into custody without any further incident and transported to the hospital,” the document adds.

After the shooting, near the tree, the officers found an unloaded .32 Rimfire revolver.

Later, Jimenez was arrested for 25400(a)(2) of the California Penal Code - Assault with a firearm.

Documents show that Jimenez was admitted to UCLA Westwood Hospital and required to undergo surgery to treat his wounds.

The IPD’s investigation, which involved questioning community members from that intersection, revealed that people who have known Jimenez for some time said he had recently lost his job six weeks ago and had been drinking heavily since then. The IPD report states that Jimenez “appeared to be under the influence of alcohol,” and “his speech was slurred.”

I was unable to find any reports on this incident online.

Officers Nazir and Rodriguez remain employed and continue to patrol the streets of Inglewood.

Below are some screenshots from the report worth sharing:

Stay tuned for more details about the other IPD officers who have fired their weapons at people while on duty and still patrol our neighborhoods.

On Tuesday, the Inglewood City Council approved moving forward with the $6,275,772.00 contract with Axon Enterprise over a five-year span. The package includes body-worn cameras, license plate readers, and AI camera Integration Systems.

The council’s program also covers police department upgrades, including automated license plate readers, drones, in-car video systems, and a digital evidence-management system.

Inglewood Mayor James Butts claims this is for public safety: “As the city prepares to support major international and national events, including the FIFA World Cup 2026, Super Bowl 2027, and the 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympic Games, the demand for enhanced public safety infrastructure will increase significantly,” said Butts.

The city is initially covering the costs, but once it demonstrates that these devices are installed and functioning, it will receive reimbursement from the state via the “Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) Grant Program.”

During the meeting, Mayor Butts highlighted that the city of Inglewood is experiencing a decline in crime. The Council agenda states that:

“In Inglewood, Part 1 Crimes fell 13% in 2025 compared to 2024, led by a 60% drop in Homicides and a 32% drop in Burglaries reported in our City. As of December 31, 2025, compared to its peak in 1981, violent crime has fallen 76% and homicides has fallen 87%.”

Despite the decline in crime, the city approved the $6.2 million contract with Axon, reasoning that the city will see an increase in visitors.

Some activists and community members attended the meeting to ask the mayor to disclose the names of the officers involved in Bryan Bostic’s killing on March 10th. They also urge the city to implement body-worn cameras for police officers to improve transparency. The city is claiming that the death of Bostic is under investigation.

The city of Inglewood is going to have some of the most advanced surveillance technology peppered across the city under the guise of public safety, even as the city experiences one of its lowest crime rates.

Stay tuned for more details!

Today, the Inglewood City Council is set to vote on a multimillion-dollar contract that would expand the City’s police department’s surveillance capabilities across Inglewood, raising questions about cost, oversight, and civil liberties.

At the center of the proposal is a $6.3 million agreement with Axon Enterprise, a top technology company based in Scottsdale, Arizona, that develops electronics, weapons, and software for law enforcement, military, and occupational forces in Israel. The technology they are known for is body cameras, digital evidence platforms, and Tasers. If the city approves the contract, IPD would be equipped with the most advanced technologies that go far beyond traditional policing tools.

According to the equipment deployment summary, the city is receiving (see below):

The package includes body-worn cameras for officers, drone systems, and a citywide network of automated license plate readers (ALPRs) placed throughout the city. In addition, police cops cars would be upgraded with mobile camera systems capable of scanning license plates in real time.

The city is justifying the investment as a step toward public safety, noting that Inglewood is hosting international events such as the World Cup, Super Bowl, and the Olympics. The scale of advanced technology has drawn scrutiny amid calls for an invasion of privacy.

Today, the City Council is scheduled to vote on approving the purchase of new surveillance technology, including body cameras and license plate readers, funded by taxpayer money through the contract.

Once the new systems are installed and provide the governor with “proof of implementation,” the city will be reimbursed by the state through the “Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) Grant Program.”

Dealing with the devil

Axon is on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) list.

In 2025, Axon Enterprise purchased the Israeli tech company Carbyne for $625 million. Axon supplies Taser devices to Israeli law enforcement and government agencies, and its core focus in the region is deepening through the use of AI and cloud-based communication tools. Since the 1990s, Axon has had a Country Manager in Israel and a history of supporting local security forces.

Axon, formerly known as TASER International, is known for its “less-lethal” TASER brand electric stun guns. In 2009, the Israeli military began using Taser guns against Palestinians. The IDF used Taser guns against the activist who risked everything to join the Freedom Flotilla to break the illegal siege of the Gaza Strip. In addition, for decades, the Israeli Police has used Tasers against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The timing of the vote comes amid heightened local tensions around policing. Activist and community members have been demanding greater accountability following the recent in-custody death of Bryan Bostic on March 10th, which intensified calls for body cameras.

For some people, the cameras represent a long-overdue accountability measure. But others warn that the broader contract goes far beyond transparency.

Concerns over body cameras have also focused on how the data is collected, including video footage, location tracking, and vehicle records, and how it would be used, shared, or retained, just to name a few.

Across the country, similar systems have sparked protests and debate. Privacy advocates warn that this type of advanced technology, such as real-time monitoring, analytics, and potential facial recognition capabilities, could transform tools intended for accountability into instruments of mass surveillance.

Decision point

Tuesday’s vote will determine whether Inglewood joins a growing number of cities investing in the most advanced surveillance systems without community pushback, or whether the people push back on the contract.

Comments from the community must be submitted by 8 AM on Tuesday, April 28th, in order to be distributed to councilmembers ahead of the meeting.

If you are not able to make the meeting, you can submit a comment to the City Clerk at Athompson@cityofinglewood.org or the Deputy City Clerk at Dwesley@cityofinglewood.org

The Inglewood City Council meets at 2 PM on Tuesday, April 28th, in Inglewood City Hall, 1 W Manchester Blvd.

The Inglewood City Clerk provided a document that should have been 12 pages long, listing every officer by division, but I received only 9 pages, with some sections redacted. The missing pages or redacted sections might be due to those officers no longer being with the department, having moved, been dismissed, or retired. We don’t know.

The IPD comprises multiple divisions, resources, directed enforcement units, investigators, recruitment centers, and more.

“The Inglewood Police Department is authorized to have 200 sworn officers, and we currently have 181 sworn officers,” Lieutenant Scott T. Collins said in an email about how many officers are in the IPD (see image below).

The department’s website also states that they “employ 186 sworn personnel and 92 civilian support personnel.”

As of 2020, Inglewood had a population of 107,762, resulting in approximately 15.7 officers per 10,000 residents employed by the IPD. By April 2026, the population had declined by over 6%, now estimated to be between 100,000 and 105,000, reflecting a decrease since the 2020 census.

As a result, there are roughly 18.6 officers per 10,000 residents for a population of 100,000, or 17.7 officers per 10,000 residents for a population of 105,000.

The Inglewood Police Department does not have a public online portal for viewing all public requests. That feature is available when requesting public information from the city of Los Angeles, including the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). All requests are submitted via email to the City Clerk. Therefore, not available to the public unless they are published.

Below is a list of officers organized by department, followed by an image of each corresponding document from the department.

Inglewood Police Department roster as of February 14, 2026

Author's note: an update was made on May 5, 2026, with the total number of officers employed.

Hello everyone,

I want to introduce you to a new section on my Substack, ‘Open Files: Inglewood Police Department (IPD).”

Police departments are not private security companies or private escorts; they work for and are funded by the public. The department receives its funding from the city’s general fund, which mainly comes from local taxes such as property, sales (anything you purchase that is taxed), business license, hotel/transient occupancy, utility user taxes, fees, permits, and fines, just to name a few.

That said, the public should have access to who is patrolling our neighborhoods, their records, and how our money is being used.

This part of my Substack provides public access to information about the Inglewood Police Department, obtained through public records requests. These requests enable anyone to access records from state, county, or municipal agencies, promoting transparency and accountability. This section serves as a central hub for information I’ve collected over the past few months from the department, which should be accessible to the public.

Why am I doing this?

On March 10, at the corner of Hillcrest Boulevard and Nutwood Street, Bryan Bostic, 37, was reportedly pulled over by the Inglewood Police Department (IPD) during a routine traffic stop. Moments later, for an unknown reason, Bostic was found on the ground with multiple officers arresting the 37-year-old.

A bystander video captured the arrest. The video shows Bostic face down on the concrete as one officer knelt on his back, resembling what George Floyd experienced in 2020. The Inglewood police officer was pulling an arm back to handcuff him. Later, two more officers arrived on the scene to help him as Bostic lay face down, handcuffed and helpless.

Moments later, the ambulance arrived, and according to City of Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts, paramedics cleared Bostic (meaning he is alive and can be taken to the station to be booked). It wasn’t until the officers reached the police station that they found an unconscious Bostic. He was later pronounced dead.

Authorities have not explained how Bostic died, and his family is calling for an independent investigation.

Bostic’s family is fighting to obtain information from the Inglewood Police Department. The IPD does not wear body cameras, so you have to depend on their word. In addition, the IPD website does not provide much information for the public, such as how many patrol officers are on duty, how many have fired their weapons while on duty, or whether any have brutalized or killed someone after a routine traffic stop.

This information should be available to the public.

The Inglewood Police Department operates on a $110 million yearly budget, using nearly 50% of the city’s entire General Fund. Meanwhile, approximately 8 to 12 public schools in the Inglewood Unified School District (IUSD) have closed or are slated to close since the 2018-2019 school year.

Schools closed in 2024-2025: Hudnall Elementary, Highland TK-6 School, Kelso TK-6 School, Crozier Middle School, Morningside High School.

As a fellow Inglewood native, I felt a deep sense of anger after watching the video of Bostic lying on the ground, helpless, surrounded by multiple police officers to prevent him from getting up.

Bostic should be here with his family right now. The least he should be worried about is handling a traffic ticket or whatever moving violation he committed. Instead, the family is now investigating the cause of his death, organizing expensive funeral services (which the city should pay for), and mourning the loss of a family member.

The public has every right to know who is patrolling their neighborhood and that officer’s professional history with the department and community. Police institutions don’t just operate on policy– they operate on trust. And trust, if it means anything to them, has to be earned in the open. And let’s be honest, given the lineage of policing in this country, it draws from a dark time of catching enslaved people and upholding unjust laws (see Jim Crow)– the institution of policing in this country has a lot of work to do if it wants the public’s trust.

In addition, the city of Inglewood will be the most policed and surveilled city in the U.S. with the upcoming FIFA World Cup in 2026, Super Bowl in 2027, and the 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympic Games.

This project exists to keep a steady, watchful eye on how the department conducts itself: not in press releases, TikTok, or Instagram reels, but in its actual decisions in public and in the publication of departmental documents through a Public Request.

We will track budgets, internal memos, policy shifts, and enforcement patterns, because these topics shape people’s lives in real ways, often without much public visibility. Paying attention to those details isn’t about cynicism– it’s about accountability.

Each officer involved in the killing of Bostic, or anyone, should be posted so the public knows who they are and which neighborhoods they are patrolling.

They do that when a civilian kills someone, so we should also know when a police officer kills someone. Our taxes pay their inflated salaries.

This project is to provide the public with the information it deserves.

Transparency isn’t asking for a favor. It’s a requirement of public service. It belongs to anyone willing to read closely, ask questions, and stay informed.

That’s what this space is for.
