Nov. 4, 1919: An attempt is made to organize the Los Angeles Police Department under one of the railway workers’ unions. Over the years, there were several attempts to unionize the LAPD (the Los Angeles Police Protective League, which now represents officers, was originally established in 1922 in cooperation with firefighters to protect a new retirement system). As late as March 8, 1946, Mayor Fletcher Bowron strongly opposed efforts to unionize the department.
