Overview

• LAPD Metropolitan Division officers had assisted the California Highway Patrol outside Harris’s Brentwood home this week, drawing personnel from San Fernando Valley crime‑suppression assignments, according to officials and sources.
• Mayor Karen Bass ordered the short‑term deployment to avoid a security gap following President Trump’s Sept. 1 directive discontinuing any extra federal procedures for Harris.
• The Los Angeles Police Protective League criticized the city‑funded detail, arguing officers should not be reassigned to protect a private citizen who can hire security.
• The California Highway Patrol has not clarified how LAPD’s withdrawal affects its arrangement or how long state protection could continue.
• Reporting indicates Harris is likely to transition to private security as she readies a 15‑stop book tour beginning Sept. 24 for her memoir, 107 Days.
