"(Barbara Davidson / Los Angeles Times) Los Angeles police Metropolitan Division officers, meant to be working crime-suppression assignments in hard-hit areas of the city, are instead providing security for former Vice President Kamala Harris, sources told The Times. The department is "assisting the California Highway Patrol in providing protective services for former Vice President Kamala Harris until an alternate plan is established," said Jennifer Forkish, L.A. police communications director."
"A dozen or more officers have begun working a detail to protect Harris after President Trump revoked her Secret Service protection as of Monday. Sources not authorized to discuss the details of the plan said the city would fund the security but that the arrangement was expected to be brief, with Harris hiring her own security in the near future."
Los Angeles police Metropolitan Division officers were reassigned from crime-suppression duties to provide security for former Vice President Kamala Harris. The LAPD stated it is assisting the California Highway Patrol in providing protective services until an alternate plan is established and described the effort as temporary to prevent any lapse in security. A dozen or more officers began the detail after President Trump revoked Harris' Secret Service protection. Sources said the city would fund the brief security arrangement while Harris arranges her own protection. The police union criticized the reassignment and its cost implications.
