LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia @controller.lacity.gov · Dec 12 When it comes to the LAPD, the City will always find the money to fund them no matter what's been approved in the budget or what the City's spending plan is. If they overspend, rack up liability claims, etc., City Hall will just take the money from elsewhere to give to LAPD.

Currently, the City is scrambling to find $4 million to fund more officers even though the compromise to avoid City layoffs was to reduce class sizes. For context, the total LAPD is budgeted to get this fiscal year is $3.3 billion. Youth Development Dept. is $2.5 million.
