Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has named Dr. Erroll Southers to the city’s Board of Police Commissioners.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank Mayor Bass for this prestigious appointment,” Southers said. “The increasing concerns about public safety — and the calls for reform — require real knowledge-based solutions. There’s a lot to do, and I am grateful for the opportunity to lend my firsthand interdisciplinary experience and expertise to this effort.”
“The appointments I’m making today represent a major step toward transparency, accountability and a comprehensive approach to public safety that includes a police department that protects the community and leaves community members feeling safe no matter where they are living in Los Angeles,” Bass said.
