LOS ANGELES - APRIL 15: Police officers with the Los Angeles Police Department's gang unit search a group of men drinking in public outside the Jordan Downs Housing Project April 15, 2010 in the South East police division of Los Angeles, California. The housing project is a known street gang neighborhood controlled by the Grape Street Crips, associated with the nationwide Crips gang. Major crime figures for Los Angeles have gone down in the last two years. Los Angeles city financial cutbacks have nearly eliminated overtime payments for the LAPD gang and narcotics units forcing police officers to take unpaid leave days once their overtime ceilings are reached.
