George K. Home

George K. Home was chief of police of the Los Angeles Police Department for one year, two months, and 23 days from 1919 to 1920. Home's administration coincided with the beginning of Prohibition and the coattendant increase in smuggling and associated crime. He is best remembered for hiring Harry J. Raymond and Herbert "Brute" Kittle, both of whom were charged with multiple crimes of their own, which reduced their effectiveness as law enforcement officers.
