LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Michel Moore requested reappointment for a second term, writing in a letter to the Board of Police Commissioners that there remains “more work to be done” and he has a “strong desire” to continue to lead the department.
Moore, a 40-year veteran of the department, has served as chief since 2018 when he was appointed by former Mayor Eric Garcetti. His current term ends in June 2023.
In a statement, Commission President William Briggs said he was pleased that Moore was seeking reappointment. The commission will take up Moore’s request in closed session, with an opportunity for public comment prior to a decision. Police chiefs can serve a maximum of two five-year terms….
