The commission vote Tuesday sends the budget proposal to Mayor Eric Garcetti to consider. The mayor releases an overall proposed spending plan in April, which is then taken up by the City Council.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, LAPD officers worked more than 680,000 overtime hours for which they have not been paid. The city now owes $47.3 million.
Craig Lally, president of the union representing police officers, said the commission’s support for more police officers is “stride in the right direction” amid rising crime incidents, including the shooting death of a man on Sunset Boulevard on Tuesday morning. “As the city grapples with increases in gun crimes, homicides and fatal follow-home robberies, it is critical that the department recovers from the ‘defund the police’ cuts and that city leaders stop listening to the reckless ideas of anti-police groups,” Lally said.
Callers phoned into Tuesday’s meeting, with some supporting more police officers to combat crime, while other callers said the commissioners should redirect the funds toward social services.“We’ve proven over and over again that when you invest in people, in their communities, you can reduce crimes,” said Akili, who goes by a single name. “Because we know what keeps us safe, it’s resources, it’s resources.
