Actually, it's the Chief. LAPD's Chief Bratton (and presumeably others on the force) are blogging. This is excellent.
Just yesterday, KPCC had the nerve to give Tony Muhammad 15 seconds of airtime on behalf of his stupid quote (and 10 others in his demonstration) in search of a re-establishment of the federal consent decree against the LAPD. His speech was notably lacking in facts and high on rhetoric. I am looking forward to seeing this blog establish a dialog with the public in helping us to understand the way the LAPD assesses its own role and effectiveness. The Coalition of the Damned are professional malcontents.
Anyway, I don't have any other particular expectations but that it will become a great new source of information and feedback. Bratton has my thanks for this effort.
A side note is that a lot of comments on the first post say 'welcome to the 21st century' as if blogging were the hallmark. A snarky PD might well say welcome to reality. We'll see how the voice of the LAPD sounds...
