“We are hopeful that if Chief Moore is appointed, he will take immediate action to address low officer morale stemming from our critically low police staffing and that he will be absolutely committed to collaborating on new ideas to reduce violent crime and prepare our city for the 2028 Olympics,” the statement said. “These are huge issues to tackle, but we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work with Chief Moore to move our Department forward and improve public safety in Los Angeles.”
