Protecting Public Safety

The city is proud to be starting a new police academy this summer.
Fifty recruits will be starting the rigorous process of becoming Long Beach police officers. This academy was made possible by the pension reform agreement between the Police Officers Association and the city, which preserved a fair retirement for our officers while moderating the rising costs that have hampered hiring.

Congratulations to Eric Garcetti on his successful campaign to become the next mayor of Los Angeles. I supported Mayor-Elect Garcetti because I believed he would be a great leader not just for Los Angeles, but for the entire region. I have known Eric for years and have seen his skills at bringing communities together and moving thoughtful public policy forward, and so I look forward to working with him as he leads America's biggest metropolitan area.

Is it good land use to build a heavy industrial project next to schools, parks, and residences without any buffer? Is it appropriate to build a goods movement project with negative impacts on surrounding veterans, students, and children with $0 in community mitigation funds? Last night, the City Council answered these questions unanimously by authorizing litigation: No.
