The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is preparing for a drastic reorganization as it’s forced into a $150 million budget cut.
According to LAPD Chief Michel Moore this week, the department will immediately have to cut an estimated 350 positions. He said the initial readjustment turns the department’s attention toward its handling of daily calls and emergencies. The chief noted cuts could only be made in specialty areas.
“I can’t take those 350 people out of patrol, they would just absolutely decimate our patrol, staffing,” Moore explained. “So we’re looking at our specialized areas, and some of them we’re downsizing and others we’re eliminating.”
Officials fear the switch may result in officers being put on cases where they lack expertise. However, Moore said the department will focus on keeping officers and detectives in areas where they have training.
A total of 234 officers will be sent back into patrol. The departments Sexual Assault Unit at the Robbery-Homicide Division is one of the groups to be dissolved.
“The Sexual Assault Unit, this is one of the cutbacks that we’re doing within the realignment,” Moore stated. “Those specialized detectives will be moved out to the geographic bureaus.”
This very unit was responsible for the investigations into movie producer Harvey Weinstein and USC physician George Tyndall.
According to Moore, the department also plans to cut air support, gang and narcotics as well as robbery and homicide divisions.
The reductions to the budget were first announced during summer, following widespread protests calling to defund the police after the death of George Floyd. The budget also anticipates future cuts to all city agencies due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This comes as the city’s homicides this year have increased by 25 percent, marking more than 300 killings since 2009.
As the department continues to work through this drastic change in the coming months, Moore said potential budget cuts may force the department to eliminate hundreds of more positions.
I hope the first cut is in Malibu and the Hollywood Hills. Then post addresses of all those bleeding heart stars with the notation that rape will no longer be prosecuted by the LAPD. GOOD LUCK…and Happy Hunting!
Defunding the police is the world’s “best” Progtard idea next to Unity Camps…
it will be great when Bel Air, Beverly Hills, and Westwood are taken over by the mostly peaceful protests.
Malibu too could use a makeover.
Crayzeefornia screamin’ is becoming a reality.
Police don’t prevent crimes. They aren’t even that great at solving them. You throw too much money at them and they become thugs and enforcers for the establishment. Just like any government bureaucracy.
If they need resources to do their basic jobs, maybe they should lobby for ending the failed policy of prohibition.
Auntie wouldnt want anyone other than the police tease out this one, Ken.
Maybe you could suggest a way to handle this sort of Black woman insanity.
Where do they find these clowns…..?
defunding the police & opening jails are both stalin/leninist tactics–
the police will be replaced by thugs in uniforms–
“Holy shit, I am glad I am not in LA” is a more appropriate headline. Man or woman, everyone not in LA should be glad of that fact. Unless of course you are in an even bigger shithole, like Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago.
Last time I tried to use a curse word in a title, Admin wouldn’t allow it. I get it. I also get your title change to include everyone, not just women. Yeah, can you believe this? It would seem this is the way they’ll get everyone on the program. Everybody will be screaming for the fed.gov to do something. At that point, game over?
Wip – I think curse words in the title are no go. Seems reasonable.
Yes, people are now addicted to free stuff, and rely on the govt to dictate everything.
Black lives matter. Every single one. Just not in a good way. Best let them eliminate each other.
Whadya expect during the decline of Western Civilization?
Classic CA political BS. When they first passed Prop. 13 back in 1978, the fuckers at the police and fire departments promised that if the measure passed, there would be massive cuts in both. It passed and they made cuts of course…and then went right back to business as normal. In this recent election they attempted to undermine much of Prop13’s protections on increases. The voters rejected the measure. This is just their payback. A complete elimination of all government monopoly police forces with replacement by the competitive free market is what SHOULD happen in response. I would bet the crime problem would plummet by 50%, simply because only REAL crimes would be addressed. The citizens of CA are truly ignorant of just how criminal their government really is. Those who are not ignorant, vote republican or libertarian or have left.
Right on Mr. Liberty! Let the market deliver what the people want as evidenced by their willingness to pay for it. Those who pay get service, those who don’t get whatever — good and hard.
“Classic CA political BS.”
Why limit this to just CA politics?

Mix this in with some G20 changes to banking…..peeps with frog hides-digital or green-should be gettin a bit nervous
True. I just remember the lies and BS from these pieces of shit from when I was living in CA in ’78 and happened to hear on Fox that they had attempted to undermine the proposition once again and that it was rejected. Needed to chime in for those who didn’t know the propaganda history. I was only 14 at the time when 13 passed, but I could smell bullshit even then.
Fuck ’em. They all, cops and citizens alike, deserve exactly what they get.
99% of LA women have rape fantasies anyway. They want a strong black bull to teach them to be dominated secretly so now,they get it in reality. Yay for them.
