Police Protective League Says Too Few Cops on Street
The head of the union that represents LA police officers says there are too few officers on the streets. Police Protective League Craig Lally says the lack of cops is endangering public safety. He says too many officers are doing desk jobs because the department stopped hiring civilians to do those jobs. “We can put anywhere from two to four to five hundred hundred officers back on the street just looking at where they're positioned and start hiring civilians. We got to start with that – put these officers back on the street.”
