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.
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 leading the department.
Briggs added that Moore has guided the department through "unprecedented times." Moore, in his letter submitted to the commission Monday, cited a "historic pandemic, severe staffing reductions, a resurgence of homicides and gun related crimes, and civil unrest." A California Community Poll conducted a few weeks ago found that LAPD received a 55% favorability assessment, with 33% having an unfavorable opinion of the department.
