Chief Bratton to Step Down ~ LAPD

9:11 AM PDT on August 5, 2009

    LA NOW reports:

    William J. Bratton is expected to announce plans to resign as chief of the Los Angeles Police Department today to take over as head of a private security firm, sources have told The Times.

    Bratton is expected to announce his decision at a noon press conference today. He did not return several calls seeking comment.

    The decision by Bratton, who has dramatically reshaped the LAPD and pushed down crime rates since taking over in 2002, took the city’s political and police leadership by surprise.
