Pacific Palisades Senior Lead Officer Michael Moore gave his last crime report.
Senior Lead Officer Michael Moore sent the following note:
“Dear members of the Pacific Palisades Community,
“Due to my pending retirement, this will be my last crime update. A series of officers will be filling in for me until LAPD makes a permanent selection to handle the job. The officers who fill in will send their version of the crime report to the Pacific Palisades Community Council. It has been great serving the Pacific Palisades community and I will miss being here.”
(Editor’s note: Officer James Allen will be the first temporary Senior Lead Officer for Pacific Palisades. Per the January 10 email from Commanding Officer Jonathon Tom to Circling the News, Tom said: “The selection for the SLO position is a competitive process. We will not be able to make any selections until the City lifts the moratorium on hiring and promotions.” Moore has been the Palisades SLO since March 2006-but served an additional three years as an SLO before coming here.
CTN asked Moore if he had retirement plans. In a January 11 email, he wrote: “I will be dabbling in woodworking/woodcarving and keeping up on the house chores.” When asked how his family felt about his retirement, he said, “My family said it couldn’t come soon enough.”)
Allen’s email is 39318@lapd.online.
