Narrative:

During an internal review I identified the following loss of separation and violation of lgb N7110.20 (long beach tower standard operating procedures). I forwarded the information to facility air traffic manager (atm) and asked if he would validate that these were losses of separation so that I could file the mandatory occurrence reports (mors).he e-mailed me back and ordered me not to file the mor; and that this would be handled with the individual as performance. I walked into his office and suggested that we file the mor as required in jo 7210.632. He stated that the service area stated that losses of separation found during an internal review are not to be used to fill out mors. I have had this discussion with him before and had already pointed him to jo 7210.633 that requires us to report found items in accordance with jo 7210.3. I did not want to fight with him again so I am filing the report to document this loss of separation.event: aircraft X was on base to final for helipad 2 and the atcs cleared aircraft Y for takeoff on runway 30. This violates lgb N7110.20 (in effect at the time of the event); replaced today with N7110.21.I monitored the employee for almost an hour and there appeared to be no effort to comply with the separation standards found in lgb N7110.20. Other mandatory traffic advisories for helicopter operations were also not performed. The session was very slow and there was ample space and time to comply with instructions. There is another potential loss of separation that I will have to fill out another report for just like this one. I don't know what should be done. I just know I have to legally document this occurrence that I am aware of.
