‘Nuts!’ LA Police Union Blasts Kamala Harris Using Officers As Personal Security

A Los Angeles police union slammed former Vice President Kamala Harris and California Democrats for pulling officers off some of the city’s most crime-ridden areas to serve as her security detail.

At least a dozen Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Metropolitan Division officers were reassigned to Harris’s security detail after President Donald Trump terminated her Secret Service protection on Aug. 29. The officers had originally been slated for crime-suppression work in the San Fernando Valley before their assignment changed, according to the Los Angeles Times.

“Pulling police officers from protecting everyday Angelenos to protect a failed presidential candidate who also happens to be a multi-millionaire, with multiple homes and who can easily afford to pay for her own security, is nuts,” the board of directors of the Los Angeles Police Protective League — which represents over 8,700 LAPD officers — told the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation.

The board added that Democrat Mayor Karen Bass “should tell Governor Newsom that if he wants to curry favor with Ms. Harris and her donor base, then he should open up his own wallet because LA taxpayers should not be footing the bill for this ridiculousness.”

Former vice presidents traditionally receive Secret Service protection for six months after leaving office, but former President Joe Biden signed an executive order shortly before leaving office that extended Harris’s protection to July of 2026. Trump reversed that order, ending her security detail as of Monday.
