President Biden’s L.A. Visit Cost LAPD Millions in Staffing

President Biden’s L.A. Visit Cost LAPD Millions in Staffing

President Biden‘s got a nice chunk o’ change for his campaign war chest after visiting Los Angeles, but it did the opposite for the city … draining millions from the budget.

According to documents, obtained by TMZ, additional LAPD staffing costs to keep POTUS secure during his December trip, cost L.A. just north of $2.6 million … with much of it going toward the boots on the ground.

The biggest cost, by far, is the $1,833,818.07 paid out to regular police officers — the cops who blocked off roads and provided security for events. The next biggest expense was salaries for sergeants and detective supervisors … which totaled $540,720.22.

Lieutenants earned about $113K, captains and civilian labor cost around $50K each … and the expenses got progressively lower for commanders, assistant chiefs and the deputy chief.

The grand total came out to $2,633,847.66 for 19,485 hours of labor for the President’s 3 day visit from December 8 to December 10.

The fundraising trip included one huge star-studded event in Holmby Hills, which Pro-Palestine protesters disrupted

Keep in mind, it’s common for cities to run up huge law enforcement bills when a president, or former prez, comes to town — so, $2.6 mil is not an outlandish number in relative terms.

And, if you’re wondering, the answer is no … law enforcement sources tell us the feds do NOT pay back local cops for those costs.
