LAPD ANNOUNCES PROMOTIONS AND MOVEMENT AMONG SWORN AND CIVILIAN COMMAND STAFF

Los Angeles: In keeping with his philosophy to better utilize the talents and experience of Los Angeles Police Department Command Staff and to mentor and develop staff to fill multiple roles, LAPD Chief William J. Bratton announced several promotions and transfers.  The movement within the Department will also better prepare it for the future as key Command Staff members with specific Department expertise retire.
