Post-George Floyd, LAPD has fewer cops but hasn t been defunded

The LAPD is a changed organization a year after the social justice protests but hardly in the ways its critics wanted. Its budget was cut by $150 million last year, then increased by 3% this year. Still, the protests have forced major changes within the department, its daily operations and the way city officials see its role in public safety.

LA Mayor Proposes Modest Boost to Policing Budget, Bucking Defund Police Advocates

LA Mayor Proposes Modest Boost to Policing Budget, Bucking ‘Defund Police’ Advocates Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has called for a modest 3 percent increase in law enforcement funding after an 80 percent spike in shootings this year, bucking “defund the police” advocates. Garcetti’s proposed $11.2-billion budget (pdf) for the coming fiscal year allocates $1.76 billion for the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), up from the $1.71 billion the council approved last summer when they opted to slash the police budget by $150 million amid protests and pressure to defund the police following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. “If you want to abolish the police, you’re talking to the wrong mayor,” Garcetti said on April 20, during his 2021 State of the City address in Los Angeles.

Garcetti proposes slight increase in LAPD spending

Print Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is proposing a slight increase in funding for the city’s Police Department for the upcoming budget year, disappointing advocates who have called for the agency’s defunding. Garcetti’s proposed $11.2-billion budget allocates $1.76 billion for the LAPD, up from the $1.71 billion the council approved in July. The mayor’s plan, which covers the fiscal year starting July 1, would continue to provide a force of about 9,750 sworn police officers. The number of officers at the department now is lower, however, because of retirements and resignations. The LAPD is expected to have 9,489 officers on June 30.
