Corruption was rampant under Chief Walls tenure…..good thing he is leaving the position.
The Cal State police department is notorious for harassing residents who live near CSULA. They need to be reviewed by an independent board so that their criminality can stop.

Was the retirement in abrupt fashion? Why has Covino not provided more detail and transparency? What is Lt Bohannon’s credentials? Some background information would be useful in this online campus “times” article.
