The union is looking to free up officers to tackle more serious crimes, by no longer having them respond to certain calls.
The Los Angeles Police Department’s largest employee union is looking to have officers stop responding to more than two dozen types of calls, transferring those duties to other city agencies while focusing on more serious crimes.
A representative of Mayor Karen Bass did not immediately provide comment on the proposal. But Councilmember Tim McOsker, who sits on the city’s powerful bargaining committee, said he looks forward to working with the union on the city’s program of “unarmed response.” The league has argued for months that the department is understaffed, having lost about 800 officers since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020. In its, the union acknowledged that “certain types of calls for service may not necessitate an armed response.”
