Two officers from the Huntington Park Police Department and two from the South Gate Police Department were arrested this week on suspicion of physically abusing children who were participating in a San Luis Obispo boot camp, authorities said.
The arrests follow a two-month investigation by the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department into allegations of abuse by children who had attended a weeklong boot camp, according to sheriff's officials.
Although it is held at the California Army National Guard Military Base in San Luis Obispo, the boot camp is run by the Huntington Park and South Gate police departments.
