The push to cut up to $150 million at the LAPD gets a hearing today from the L.A. City Council's Budget & Finance Committee. Here's our look from Friday at how those cuts could work https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-19/lapd-cuts-city-council w/ @AlpertReyes

Among the big-ticket questions is whether to take the LAPD below 10,000 officers, by no longer hiring to replace every officer who retires or resigns in the coming year. The 10,000-officer question has been kicking around for quite a while https://www.latimes.com/local/la-xpm-2013-apr-28-la-me-lapd-10k-20130429-story.html

Another question is how, and by how much, to cut overtime. In the city's proposal, almost half of the reductions would come from LAPD sworn overtime that's not reimbursed by other agencies, such as the Metro transit system
