Mayor Karen Bass appears to want to take a harder look at whether to keep LAPD’s current chief.
A vote to reappoint Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore to a second term was delayed Tuesday as Mayor Karen Bass weighed whether he’s the person she wants for the job, according to officials.
While the Police Commission has the power under city rules to reappoint an incumbent chief, Los Angeles mayors typically reserve the power to appoint chiefs of police who fit their vision for public safety. “The Mayor provided this guidance because she feels a vote on the first meeting following the chief’s request is too soon,” said Zachary Seidl, a spokesman for the mayor, in a statement.
The current commission is made up of all appointees of former Mayor Eric Garcetti. Moore, too, is an appointee of Garcetti — the former mayor chose him in 2018,who would follow up on reforms started under his predecessor, Charlie Beck.
