The Inglewood Police Department announced today that the Department of Justice is investigating the agency in the wake of several officer-involved shootings of unarmed suspects and other incidents.

According to the department's website, the investigation would include "past procedures and tactics used by Inglewood police officers involving use of force." It's at least the second ongoing investigation into the department. Already, the L.A. Sheriff's Office of Independent Review is probing the department's tactics. (For the record: An earlier version of this post said that in addition to the investigation by the Department of Justice, the state attorney general's office and L.A. Sheriff's Office of Independent Review were probing the Inglewood Police Department's tactics. The attorney general's office is not investigating the Inglewood department.)

The Justice Department told the city in March that it was beginning an investigation, and Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks said she would cooperate fully, the website said. Officials at the Justice Department could not immediately be reached for comment.

A Times investigation found that over the last six years, Inglewood police officers have repeatedly resorted to physical or deadly force against suspects who were unarmed or accused of minor offenses.
