LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore today spoke before the L.A. City Council Budget and Finance Committee to outline his case for his department s budget increase under Mayor Eric Garcetti s 2021-22 fiscal year proposal, which would give the department about $1.76 billion.
In the committee s third of eight meetings to break down Garcetti s proposed $11.2 billion budget, Moore spoke to the committee s five council members about why he thinks the department needs the funding proposed, calling the budget “a good budget.
The Los Angeles Police Department would receive the most funding in the proposed budget, with a $1.76 billion budget, a 3% increase from when the Los Angeles City Council cut $150 million from the department s budget last July.

The Los Angeles Police Department has lifted a week-old moratorium on the use of certain hard-foam projectiles at protests after a federal judge revised her recent court order restricting the weapons’ use.
The LAPD confirmed Thursday that it is putting its 37-millimeter projectile launchers back in the field for use, albeit under several remaining restrictions in U.S. District Judge Consuelo B. Marshall’s revised restraining order.
“The LAPD appreciates the Court’s thorough review of all the facts and circumstances,” the department said in a statement to The Times. “We are committed to exercise the needed restraint in the use of crowd control tactics while also maintaining the critical need to protect the community, as well as our police officers.”

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The city of Los Angeles today requested that a judge modify her order restricting the Los Angeles Police Department s use of projectile launchers that are deemed “less lethal ahead of anticipated May Day protests.
The order comes after Black Lives Matter-Los Angeles filed a request for a temporary restraining order against the LAPD in light of a March 25 protest in Echo Park and a March 13 demonstration in Hollywood in which police and protesters clashed and a member of the press was struck by a projectile and knocked out, suffering a concussion, according to court documents.
