– One Los Angeles Police Department officer has been fired for violating the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate and termination proceedings are underway for seven others, LAPD Assistant Chief Beatrice Girmala said Tuesday.
According to Girmala, 10,216 LAPD employees, or 82.9% of the department, are fully vaccinated, .5% are partially vaccinated, and 16.6% are unvaccinated.Additionally, 460 employees have filed for medical exemptions and 1,831 have filed for religious exemptions from the mandate. Girmala said one person who was not vaccinated was terminated after a board of rights process. Meanwhile, seven other terminations are currently pending.On Aug. 18, Los Angeles City Council and Mayor Eric Garcetti passed the vaccination mandate requiring all city employees to be fully vaccinated by Dec. 18 or apply for a religious or medical exemption.
The mandate states that employees who do not comply are able to either resign or retire “all in good standing in lieu of discipline.” The employees will be eligible to be rehired if they get vaccinated or if the vaccination order is lifted, according to the requirement.
