Police union vice president Jerretta Sandoz advised LAPD officers on Facebook to work in a city that doesn't have two or more council members 'who hate you'
With negotiations over a new salary contract dragging on last month, the Los Angeles Police Protective League’s vice president, Jerretta Sandoz, hopped on Facebook to speak her mind.
“Go somewhere that respects the work you do and you don’t have to beg for a great contract,” she wrote, according to a screenshot of the post that was reviewed by The Times. “Go somewhere that has a city council or city manager that openly acknowledges the great work you do, go somewhere that doesn’t have Two or more City Council members who hate you .
Bass spokesperson Zach Seidl, when asked about Sandoz’s Facebook message, said negotiations over the LAPD contract are ongoing. Police Chief Michel Moore has blamed the decrease in the number of officers, in part, on perceived anti-police sentiments that grew after the law enforcement killings of George Floyd and other Black Americans in recent years. He also pointed to a severe backlog of background investigations that keeps potential recruits waiting months for a spot in the academy.
Despite the despairing tone of Sandoz’s social media post, a spokesperson for the union offered an upbeat assessment of the ongoing contact talks last week. Union spokesperson Tom Saggauthere has been “substantial progress” in coming up with a deal to address recruitment and retention. The flag’s supporters view it as a symbol of solidarity with police officers who have lost their lives on the job. Detractors say it has been appropriated by right-wing extremist groups.
