洛杉矶警察署长William Bratton今天突然宣布下台。
这个倍受赞誉的警察署长,在执政的七年内,改造了曾经丑闻缠身的洛杉矶警察署。
自2003年以来,在警察署长William Bratton的领导下,洛杉矶的犯罪率逐年下降。
目前洛杉矶警察署正在紧锣密鼓地调查迈克尔·杰克逊死因,洛杉矶警察署长William Bratton前段时间却“外出度假”。
--------------------------------
警察署长将在一个私人公司Altegrity供职,因为那边给他的薪水更高。于是他放弃了他在警察局里的33万美元的年薪,在五年任期内还有三年未满的情况下,宣布辞职。
另外他在洛杉矶警察局,是要到今年10月31日才离职,所以还是应该能处理MJ案。
LOS ANGELES - Former NYPD Commissioner William Bratton is trading his silver LAPD badge for a golden parachute - back in New York.
At a surprise press conference on Wednesday, Bratton said he's stepping down as L.A.'s top cop to take a better-paying job at a private security company called Altegrity.
He said he was about to get hit with a big interest-rate bump on the seven-year adjustable mortgage on his Los Feliz home.
"Despite you paying me very well, I would be literally in the poorhouse," said Bratton, who makes $300,442 a year with the LAPD.
Moving back to New York means his wife won't have a bicoastal commute, he can be closer to his elderly dad, and he can start saving for his retirement.
"Now that I'm into my 60s, I'm a little more conscious of the retirement years that lie ahead," Bratton said.
Bratton, who helped spearhead New York's historic crime drop in the mid-1990s, would not say if he has political aspirations.
He plans to leave the LAPD on Oct. 31 and will create a new division at Altegrity focusing on security and "nation-building" in "post-conflict" countries. |
