Funeral for Former LAPD Chief Daryl Gates to Close Downtown Streets

Just as with last week's funeral for SWAT Officer Robert J. Cottle, the death of Former LAPD Chief Daryl Gates means streets closures next Tuesday morning in downtown Los Angeles.

"People not participating in Daryl Gates’ funeral service should avoid the area, as some of the streets in the Central Business District will experience intermittent closures on Tuesday,” said LADOT General Manager Rita L.
