The LAPD's Web site -- lapdonline.org -- will soon be available in a bunch of languages besides English.

Here we go: Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, Italian, French,
Tagalog, German, Vietnamese, Hindi, Korean and Portuguese. They have some sort of translator that will translate it for the reader.

There's no start up date yet, but it should be soon.

The coppers also are going to start a sports section called "LAPD Sports." They'll talksumowrestlers.jpg football, baseball, motocross, weight lifting, boxing and sumo wrestling.

According to a press release:

"LAPD Sports will showcase the accomplishments and stories of the many officers who excel in sports. In cooperation with The Los Angeles Police Revolver and Athletic Club, LAPD Sports will also contain links to upcoming schedules, video highlights, pictures and special events. With approximately 30 different team and individual sports, there will be something for every sports fan to enjoy. Because like you, cops love sports."

Personally, I can't wait to see the Sumo wrestlers take on the gangs.......
