LAPD SWAT members may have resold department handguns for a profit, according to an independent watchdog's report.
Chief Charlie Beck addressed the report Tuesday at the Los Angeles Police Commission meeting, saying he was disappointed, reports ABC News .
The report indicated that members potentially sold Kimber 1911 pistols with a special "LAPD SWAT" insignia. The pistols are sold to officers in the unit for about $600 each—a steep discount from their resale valule between $1,600 and $3,500, reports the Los Angeles Times .
One officer has been relieved of duty.
