One hundred men were enlisted at the first meeting in a saloon operated by Billy Getman, and twenty-five of them were chosen to work full time. On August 1, 1853, a barracks was established for the force. Writer Larry Goldberg noted that:The rangers wore badges of woven white ribbon bearing the words "City Police Organized by the Common Council of Los Angeles, July 12, 1851" and "Policia Organizado por el Consejo Comun de Los Angeles." The all volunteer force supplied their own firearms. Horses, tack and other necesities [sic] were supplied by the city or its citizens.Hope was thus noted as the first police chief for the city of Los Angeles after the American occupation.He returned to the Common Council in 1854 when he won another special election on August 16, for a term that ended on May 9, 1855.".
