LAPD chief backtracks after saying he has ‘full support’ of Mayor Karen Bass

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore apologized Tuesday after sending an email that described his bid for a second term and suggested he has the backing of Mayor Karen Bass.

Moore sent the email on Dec. 27, informing the board of the nonprofit Los Angeles Police Foundation that he had applied for another five-year term — and had “much work” left to do. “I’ve discussed this with Mayor Bass and enjoy her full support,” he wrote.

After The Times inquired about Moore’s email, an aide to Bass said she has not made a decision on the chief’s future.
