FAE ? INTERNAL AFFAIRS LOS ANGELES SHERIFF'S DEPT : 2013 - 2015 SUPER, ORIGINAL GROUP [5] OF DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A 30 YR EMPLOYEE OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPT (LASD) DETAILING HER WORK AND PERSONAL LIFE AND INSIDE REVELATIONS OF A CORRUPTION SCANDAL INVOLVING THE SHERIFF AND UNDERSHERIFF

4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. On offer are five (5) fascinating notebooks handwritten by a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department female employee who served at the department for over 30 years. Four of the notebooks cover the period from February to May 2013, with some gaps, and December 2013, and the fifth one documents August 2015. The employee, who identifies herself as Fae, was 58 in 2013, and had served for 24 years at the Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB). At the time described in her diaries she was in the process of transfer from the IAB to the Marina del Rey Police Station. It can be understood that the transfer was a result of a conflict situation at the department, she does not spare harsh words writing about some of senior officers at the department, regrets retirement of Captain Burns, and is happy about her transfer to the Marina del Rey Station: "I am glad I am leaving all their crap behind..." She describes in detail her transfer luncheon, naming many of the guests, praises some and slurs the other, and retells her farewell speech. Having served at the Sheriff's department for over 30 years she knows many officers and not sworn employees, and seems to be well informed about the department politics, if not personally involved into it. She writes about meetings and her training, and refers to the situation at the department - it was investigated for allegations of inmate abuse and guard misconduct in the jails, the investigation later resulted in indictment and conviction of undersheriff Paul Tanaka and sheriff Lee Baca: "Boy, things in the dept are getting a little messy. Greg was telling me Tanaka may be gone by the end of March. I wonder what would Rhambo do? The way the things are so messy right now, I don't think he would want the U/S, not after the way Tanaka has screwed it up". She also mentions many names of LASD officers and employees, including Alicia Ault, captain at the IAB, Reginald Gautt, captain at the Marina del Rey Station, McSweeney, captain Cecil Rhambo (currently the city manager at the city of Compton). Large portion of the diaries is about her romantic relationships with a person whom she calls "babe", "Ming Tai", "my boy", they usually meet at the daytime - she picks him at a parking lot and takes to her place for a couple of hours, the description of their intimate relationship is rather explicit at times. She is determined to have him move to her place, which he finally does in 2015. The diaries include many details about her tastes, interests and aspirations, relations with different people, shopping habits and leisure activities, and her financial situation.. Illustr.: /.
