Police Chief Michel Moore apologized after sending an email about his bid for another term, one that stated he had the 'full support' of Mayor Karen Bass.
Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore apologized Tuesday after sending an email that described his bid for a second term and suggested he has the backing of Mayor Karen Bass.
About an hour later, Moore sent his own message clarifying his statements, noting that the Board of Police Commissioners, a five-member civilian panel, is charged with deciding whether he receives another term. Moore sent his email to the foundation, which raises money for the LAPD, on the day the Board of Police Commissioners announced that Moore had requested another term.
The commission is still set to discuss Moore’s request for a second term on Jan. 10 and so far, two of its members have announced support for his reappointment. Only three votes are required for the commission to reappoint Moore. Moore’s bid for another term comes at a time of major change at City Hall, with a new mayor and five new City Council members taking office. The council would need 10 votes to veto a decision by the commission reappointing Moore.
Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez, another new arrival at City Hall, also declined to say whether Moore should be reappointed, calling instead for a “thorough and transparent” evaluation.
