Photos, names and data for officers with the Los Angeles Police Department were released to an anti-police group and posted publicly, threatening the safety of officers, the officers' labor union says.
The website allows for users to search for police by name or serial number. Users are then taken to a profile page on the searched officer, including their photo, serial number, ethnicity and year of hire., which only found out about the matter through a Los Angeles Times reporter who was investigating the story on March 16.
Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore talks during a news conference at LAPD headquarters in Los Angeles. Moore said earlier this week that he extended his"deep apologies" for how officers found out about their data getting publicly posted and cited how many cops in the city work dangerous undercover jobs and are now at risk of being exposed.
