LAPD Chief Michel Moore on The Passing of Larry Aubry

It is with great sadness that I heard the news of the passing of Mr. Larry Aubry.

Mr. Aubry and I have met on several occasions throughout my law enforcement career.

Since becoming LAPD’s Chief-nearly two years ago-Larry attended several community meetings and he would challenge many decisions and policies of the LAPD.

He wanted to ensure the decisions of law enforcement was fair to everyone-particularly to those within the African American communities.
