LA Mayor Seeks $4.4M for 410 New Police Officers
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass urges City Council to allocate $4.4 million for hiring 410 new police officers by June 2026, amidst a potential hiring freeze due to budget constraints. The mayor emphasizes the importance of maintaining public safety and officer morale. Despite earlier plans to hire 240 new recruits, the city lacks a clear plan to fund additional hiring. The City Councils Budget and Finance Committee expresses concerns about fiscal solvency, while LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell defends the need for more officers, especially with the Olympics approaching.
