yeah, they wanted the cool toys... http://www.whittierdailynews.com/news/ci_3567905 '''In interviews with board members, they say the rationale for creating the transit authority police is twofold: they had the legal right to do it, and "it sounds like a cool idea."''' also explains why they have been hiding listings recently (particularly the Police listings moved from Monrovia to Gabriel): '''The bizarre revelations could also cost the agency its contract to operate in Monrovia. City Manager Scott Ochoa said he warned Maiwandi early on that the city did not want him wading into police business.''' i bet they bought weapons and tactical body armor to equip their police force too :)

(a little hard to find these day, though :)
