The LAPD may limit off-duty drinking by armed officers. Here's what's behind the proposed rule. LeonardFiles
The Los Angeles Police Department will consider Tuesday a new rule to specifically prohibit off-duty officers from being armed while impaired by alcohol.officers,"shall not consume alcoholic beverages to the extent in which it causes impairment," short of a ban on officers carrying their guns while drinking.
The LAPD declined to comment on the reason for the proposed rule change, or whether or not there are other rules limiting alcohol use for off-duty officers. The union that represents most officers, the Los Angeles Police Protective League, also did not respond. Chief Michel Moore urged the Commissioners in a memo to approve the rule change, writing,"an employee's good judgment and physical skill in handling a firearm can oftentimes be greatly diminished by intoxication, which can jeopardize public safety as well as the safety of our employees and their loved ones."
