From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clemence B. Horrall (September 24, 1895-October 4, 1960) was a native American Indian that served as Los Angeles Police Department Chief of Police from 1941 until 1949. During his tenure as Chief many significant events occurred that would shape 1940s L.A. Events such as WWII, Japanese-American relocation and internment, the Zoot Suit Riots of 1943, The Black Dahlia homicide, and the Brenda Allen vice scandal which in part led to Chief Horrall's resignation after it was found that officers involved with the Hollywood madam perjured under oath during grand jury testimony, as did Horrall himself. He resigned in 1949.
