--- Quote ---LAPD yanks cops off Kamala Harris’ mansion after uproar over diverted patrols
NY Post, Sep 6, 2025
The Los Angeles Police Department has pulled its cops from a security detail at Kamala Harris’ Brentwood, California home after outrage that crime-fighting units were being diverted to guard the former vice president.
A dozen Metro Division officers had been stationed outside Harris’ mansion after President Trump revoked her Secret Service protection last week, ending an extension through which had been quietly granted by President Biden.
By Saturday, the backup was gone, sources told the Los Angeles Times.
The short-lived detail drew fury inside the department after LAPD officers were pulled from crime suppression in the San Fernando Valley to guard Harris.
“Pulling police officers from protecting everyday Angelenos to protect a failed presidential candidate who also happens to be a multi-millionaire … and who can easily afford to pay for her own security, is nuts,” the Los Angeles Police Protective League’s board said.
Mayor Karen Bass had directed LAPD to assist the California Highway Patrol in the wake of Trump’s move, which she called an act of “political retaliation.”
The controversy over taxpayer-funded protection comes as Harris gears up for a 15-stop international book tour promoting her memoir, “107 Days,” which recalls her brief 2024 presidential campaign.
Former vice presidents traditionally receive just six months of Secret Service protection, compared to lifetime coverage for presidents.
A spokesperson for Harris did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

Former presidents and their spouses receive Secret Service protection for the rest of their lives; their children to age 16. The exception is if the spouse remarries, according to the Former Presidents Protection Act of 2012.
This security can be declined by the former president.

I guess it also applies to former First Ladies if they want it. You can bet your bottom dollar Dr Jill Biteme gets it! Sloe Joe won't last 10 years....
