The largest LAPD employees’ union proposed Wednesday to remove LAPD officers from a list of 28 types of public safety service calls that they normally would handle — and instead hand those duties over to unarmed responders from other agencies.
In December 2022, LAPD Chief Michel Moore told the Police Commission that cadet enrollment was much lower than usual. Moore announced a program in January that would hire back more than 200 retired officers in an effort to beef up the department’s ranks. The union is proposing removing officers from calls like non-fatal car accidents, noise complaints, non-violent mental health incidents, and homeless encampment cleanups. It’s not the first step the city has taken to potentially take police off of some calls — a new Office of Unarmed Response and Safety was created by the City Council in 2022 — but this is the first major offer the LAPD has brought to the table.
How about Robert Luna's demand to take on Sheriff gangs? 🤤 Oh wait, he was elected & everyone is a happy camper working together as a team 😏 & unicorns are real. 😲

The city has made it that way.
