Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is looking to add 400 officers to the city's police force after the department lost nearly 1,000 members over the past three years.
A budget proposal soon to be released by the mayor calls for bringing LA’s police department up to 9,500 active duty officers — up from the 9,103 currently working for LAPD, according to the Los Angeles Times. The city’s current budget has funding for up to 9,460 officers.
Bonuses of up to $20,000 for new police hires are heading to the City Council for approval, and the department has widened its recruiting net to the East Coast and historically Black colleges and universities. The LAPD is also debating using a program to bring back retired officers for up to a year.
