To the editor: Your article on Mayor Karen Bass’ concentrate on officer morale in her seek for the subsequent Los Angeles Police Division chief reassured me, as soon as once more, that I had accomplished the correct factor in casting my vote for her.
Fairly than specializing in checking each field on progressives’ want record, it seems that Bass understands that no quantity of felony justice reform will assist the town if we can not recruit and retain sufficient law enforcement officials to take care of even fundamental staffing, a lot much less enhance it.
Sure, officer morale is vital if we count on LAPD cops to enroll, practice, work and keep on the power. If LAPD officers really feel that their work is undercut by insurance policies that don’t deter crime, they may defect to different cities which have extra stringent insurance policies. And once they do, Los Angeles loses and its residents are much less secure.
Thanks, Mayor Bass. Please maintain doing what you might be doing.
Michael Krumme, Los Angeles
