Parker Center Blues

Maybe it is time for a new police headquarters.

Councilwoman Jan Perry and LAPD Assistant Chief Earl Paysinger were trapped in a Parker Center elevator for 20 minutes Tuesday, delaying a press conference to announce the arrest of four people involved in fatal drive-by shooting last year.

Built in the 1960s and now too small and outdated for the LAPD, Parker Center is being replaced by a $400 million headquarters on First Street.

After being released from the elevators, an exasperated Perry quipped: "I'm very glad I voted for construction of the new police headquarters."
