Moore has served as LAPD chief since his appointment by former Mayor Eric Garcetti in 2018.
L.A. Police Chief Michel Moore announces updated dash and inside-the-car cameras on the Los Angeles Police Dept. cruisers on Thursday, May 4, 2023. Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said Friday that he will step down at the end of next month, a surprise announcement that immediately sets off a search for his successor even as city leaders grapple with an understaffed police force beset with a host of other challenges.
Bass said the Police Commission will appoint an interim chief to take over the role as she chooses candidates for Moore successor. The mayor did not give a timeline for how long it might take to find a new chief. Upon his appointment as chief in 2018, Moore was noted as law enforcement leader who valued a statistics-driven and community-based approach to policing. But under his leadership, LAPD would soon see numerous crises and internal scandals.
Moore was not fired, but the city ordered independent audits of LAPD’s response that eventually faulted department commanders for a confused, failed response to the protests.
