LAPPL: Residents cannot afford further cuts to public safety
As the impact of cuts made to the budget begins to diminish the effectiveness of the LAPD, the Los Angeles Police Protective League called on elected officials to end talk of further reductions to police personnel and resources. "Elected officials have been using the total number of officers employed by the LAPD as a smokescreen to hide from the public the severe cuts that have already been made," said LAPPL President Paul M. Weber. "The number of officers deployed has actually been drastically impacted by budget cuts."
