Overview

• The Los Angeles Times reported the department pulled its Metropolitan Division officers from outside Harris’s Brentwood home on Saturday.
• Sources said officers had been reassigned from San Fernando Valley crime‑suppression duties, and the LAPD union condemned the deployment as a misuse of resources.
• Mayor Karen Bass had temporarily tasked LAPD to assist the California Highway Patrol after the federal detail ended, and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said public officials’ safety should not depend on political impulses.
• Former vice presidents typically receive six months of Secret Service coverage; President Biden had extended Harris’s protection and President Trump revoked that extension last week.
• The CHP has not outlined next steps, and sources indicated the city’s short-lived support was expected to give way to privately hired security as Harris prepares a 15-stop book tour beginning Sept. 24.
