Rick Caruso, real estate mogul and billionaire businessman, enters the Los Angeles mayoral race.
Feuer said he would propose a series of reforms and increase the Los Angeles Police Department by 500 officers to a 10,000-member force, while Buscaino, who was an LAPD officer for 15 years, and Caruso, who was the president of the Los Angeles Police Commission from 2001 to 2003, have released their plans to raise the number to 11,000.
"If you're going to increase the budget for the LAPD, what they're not telling you is you have to raise taxes, a billion over the course of five years ... so you have to raise taxes on everyday Angelenos who have suffered greatly from the coronavirus pandemic,'' De León said. If elected, De León and Bass both plan to bring the department to its currently budgeted level of 9,700 officers. As of Tuesday, the department has 9,426 sworn personnel and 2,684 civilian personnel.
