Mr. Chamberlain became the chief of the Los Angeles School Police Department in December of last year after retiring as LAPD Commander.
The Los Angeles Unified School District Tuesday night voted to cut the police budget by 35%, or $25 million.
LASPD officers were also ordered to turn in their uniforms and patrol off campus, reported CBSN Los Angeles.
The $25 million taken away from the LASPD will be diverted to school programs to help ‘students of color.’
This is just the beginning. More police chiefs and officers will be resigning from their jobs.
