Mayor Garcetti, LA Police Protective League reach deal to avoid layoffs involving hundreds of officers
By KJ Hiramoto article
LOS ANGELES - Mayor Eric Garcetti and the Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) announced on Tuesday that they reached an agreement to avoid layoffs involving hundreds of officers.
Under the tentative deal, LAPPL agrees to defer two salary raises scheduled for the Fiscal 2021-2022 to the following year, according to a press release from Mayor Garcetti’s office.
The deferral of the two salary increases enables the city to save badly-needed revenue during a critical year for LA’s economic recovery, Mayor Garcetti’s office said in a press release.
