LAPD Ends Special Protection for Former VP Kamala Harris
2025-09-08 09:04

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has ended its special protection services for former Vice President Kamala Harris, shortly after her Secret Service protection was rescinded by President Donald Trump. This decision came after the California Highway Patrol and specialized LAPD units, including officers from the Metro division, provided temporary security at the request of Mayor Karen Bass. The LAPD's special protection for Harris was criticized by the Los Angeles Police Protective League, which represents LAPD officers, for diverting police resources. The union praised the decision to withdraw the special protection, stating that the officers are now back on regular duty fighting crime. Typically, former vice presidents receive such protection for at least six months post-office, and this period had been extended by then-President Joe Biden for Harris, his former running mate.
