Chief Bratton optimistic about incoming administration on crime, terrorism
Along with observers across the political spectrum, L.A. Police Chief William Bratton is paying close attention to the presidential transition. So far, so good, he told KPCC’s “Patt Morrison.”
Chief William Bratton: “I think that there is going to be recognition with the Democratic administration that there needs to be true partnerships between local, state, and federal law enforcement intelligence agencies. The Republican ideology is very opposed to the idea of local support. I’m sorry, it’s the same as terrorism. Terrorism is not just a homeland security issue; it’s a hometown issue.”
As President-elect Barack Obama fills in his cabinet and other advisory jobs, Bratton joked that he realizes he has a lot of friends in the nation’s capital.
