Responsibilities

The Board of Police Commissioners is the collective head of the Los Angeles Police Department. They set the overall policy while the Chief of Police manages the daily operations of the Department and implements the Board’s policies and goals. The board meets every Tuesday in a public hearing room at police headquarters where the public may comment on the matters at hand as well as address the board directly.[11]

gollark: oh no.
gollark: I would probably just self-host, personally, which I do for basically all my online stuff since I don't care about monetizing it (and have no chance of getting much out of that, and don't want to support ad networks), I have some limited amount of competence at running servers, and it's not high-traffic or big enough that it costs a significant amount.
gollark: That may not be ideal for getting a long-term audience.
gollark: So, have non-YouTube copies of things, I guess?
gollark: Well, YouTube might randomly decide it hates you, apparently especially so for chemistry stuff.
