The Los Angeles Police Department on Saturday discontinued its protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris after heavy criticism within its own ranks that officers were being diverted from crime suppression, sources told The Times.
LAPD Metropolitan Division officers had been assisting the California Highway Patrol in protecting Harris and were visible until Saturday morning outside her Brentwood home.
Both California police agencies scrambled this week to protect Harris after President Trump, her rival in November’s election, revoked Harris’s Secret Service protection last week. Thursday. President Biden had extended that protection for Harris beyond the six months after leaving office that vice presidents traditionally get.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass had directed the LAPD to provide the security team to assist the CHP in the short term. According to sources, those Metro officers had to be drawn away from crime suppression work in the San Fernando Valley this week.
The department is “assisting the California Highway Patrol in providing protective services for former Vice President Kamala Harris until an alternate plan is established,” said Jennifer Forkish, L.A. police communications director, on Thursday. “This temporary coordinated effort is in place to ensure that there is no lapse in security.”
The CHP has not indicated how the LAPD’s move would alter its arrangement with the former vice president nor said how long it will continue.

SEND HER A CUB SCOUT TROOP
I can’t even imagine someone trying to harm her. She has no political power, and she is not likely to regain any. She is not influential and stands for very little. Who exactly would she be antagonizing?
Kam is just like the Clintons and Obozo: Suck the Country dry of every thing you can.
If I was Trump, I would 1099 her for any protection given after 6 months and make her pay income tax on that imputed income.
Awhile ago she made a half million bucks by going to Australia to give an ORANGE MAN BAD speech. She can afford her own team of Barney Fifes to guard her.
LAPD ends protection of former VP Kamala Harris amid criticism of globetrotting Mayor Bass’ diverting of cops..................
She’s only at risk from the Clinton Crime Family.
She got half a million dollars for trashing Trump for 30 minutes, so she can damn well pay for her own security.
OMG. Are you sure there aren’t any groomers in her entourage?
Good for the LAPD. Let her pay for executive protection with her ill-gotten gains. I’m sure there’s plenty. Or better yet, just change her name and start over again in a small town in the midwest. Bit of plastic surgery might help, too.
Correct.

No WAY!!
and contaminate the Boy Scouts??? eekssss
And how many private citizens enjoy California Highway Patrol protective details?
lol
Look, first, no Democrat is going to hurt her. She was a proud member of their party they united behind and they see as fighting for them and their beliefs, most love her around there.
On the other hand no Republican is going to hurt her because every time she is interviewed or talked about it just shows how horrible her choice was and she is a gift that just keeps on giving to the swing voters when she opens her mouth. Besides, there are actually people who want her to run again like Trump did, they feel if He can do it, then she can too.
Lets face it, those on both sides who think she is in danger can contribute to a Go Fund Me for her, we all on both sides want her to stick around for another season at least.
That saying from military pilots that the heavier flak means you’re over something important means there is no one who is going to endanger Kamala. She is in danger of people saying “Who?”
Do George Will or Leslie Stahl need doubled protection?
The cackling drunk tard has enough money, she has a mansion in Brentwood, she can afford her own security
What does she need a security team for? To make her feel important? No one is going to even know who she is.
She’ll be fine. CA is a gun-free state.
