Los Angeles police officers ‘pulled from working cases’ to provide security for Kamala Harris

 

 

 

Kamala Harris’ new security detail is made up of Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers, who have been reassigned to guard the former vice president after President Trump withdrew her Secret Service protection, according to a report.

As many as 14 of LAPD’s elite Metro Division officers have been “pulled from working cases” and “crime suppression efforts” to provide security for Harris, local outlet FOX 11 reported on Wednesday.

The outlet recorded an unmarked LAPD SUV with at least two plainclothes officers sitting in the driveway outside Harris’ home in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, where the failed 2024 Democratic presidential nominee has been living with her husband, Doug Emhoff, since leaving the White House.

Trump signed an order last week stripping Harris of Secret Service detail, effective Sept. 1.

 

Former vice presidents traditionally receive six months of protection following their terms — which meant Harris would have lost her detail July 21 – but former President Joe Biden quietly extended Secret Service security for the former VP – for a full year – shortly before leaving office on Jan. 20.
