Web site rates the cops (*Updated)
It's called Rate My Cop and essentially it allows users to rate their interaction with the cops on the beat or at the station.
Seems to have a lot of potential, but it's not really being hit -- yet.
I attempted to look up officers from Covina, Alhambra and the LAPD without much success. I'm sure the size of the database will grow as it gets more use.
The site is here.
*After a little more searching of the site I came across some ratings for El Monte Police officers. Of the 148 listed officers, four have been rated, including Chief Weldon. There's also this gem from user "flores666":
"This officer helped me with my problems even though he has arrested me in the past. He is fair."
