Similar accusations have been directed at public safety employees elsewhere in the county and across the country.
When outbreaks occur, the involved fire company is taken out of service and its members “isolate and are treated” while the department “decontaminates equipment and the work location,” she said.In its own statement, the county health department said worksites are “not immune” to the high rates of coronavirus transmission in L.A. County, particularly those with unvaccinated employees.
The county data do not paint a complete picture of the spread of the coronavirus through police and fire agencies or their workforces, as cases identified as being part of workplace outbreaks represent a fraction of the total cases in the county and in those agencies.For example, the 1,061 coronavirus cases linked to workplace outbreaks within the LAPD represent about a third of the 3,126 total cases identified among LAPD personnel as of this week, according to the department’s internal data.
Outbreaks continued to be logged through to the last day the data were captured, on Aug. 31, when LAPD officials reported an outbreak of six cases at the Topanga station, and another three cases at the North Hollywood station. On Dec. 21, L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer emailed LAPD Chief Michel Moore to share her concerns about outbreaks in the agency.
Buh bye
Why is a college professor quoted as if he's an expert on law enforcement? He's never worked as a cop or emergency worker. It's like quoting a Fast & Furious fan for their insights on the Indy 500.
Flu kills hundreds of thousands every year,yet has never been made mandatory,strange this vac is mandatory

Keep shitting on the police and fire department, see what that gets you.
Force vaccinations or fire them. Stop letting the cops dictate public health. Do it like every other state or city employee
horrible

People in power not believing in Science is reason 25 not to trust them
Racist Republican Cops and Firemen, are waging a culture war. There you go, that's the reason, it's not good, but it is the reason.
Not good.
Let them leave. These are people more interested in politics & owning the libs than protecting & serving. These aren't people who need to be cops. Let them get a job in FL TX MS ID or some other hot bed of right wing stupidity.
Bullshit. These are the people who have been face to face with covid patients the whole time when their was no vaccine, now you’re spreading propaganda about them getting sick. They were heroes last year, now you’re throwing them under the bus for not wanting your failed vaccine.
L.A. is a hotbed of coronavirus outbreaks Fixed the headline for you. 26,000 deaths 5x's more than each of the Neighboring counties Ventura, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino & with only 3x's the population & more restrictions/mandates.
They are a threat to the public. No vaccine, no job.
abolishpolice
Fire them. They're always talking about public safety...
Fire them.
How long do you think these injustices will continue?
Stop posting on Twitter if you are just going to put up a paywall on the article.
Just defund police and fire agencies, and rebuild them with all vaccine advocators, pretty sure crimes and fires will go away automatically. God bless LA Times.
They are strong union people. It’s always about money and not politics. Offer them a covid pay bonus and suddenly everything will be fine.
Then LAPDHQ needs to update their motto.
