Karen Bass: “We have received assistance from the California Highway…”

“We are a county of 88 cities. There's a number of police departments in those cities, and we have the sheriff's department. And so We have received assistance from the California Highway Patrol. I mentioned the sheriffs from Orange County, San Bernardino, Riverside, Santa Barbara, Ventura county, and a number of law enforcement departments around the county. So with them being fully deployed now, we're establishing a unified command under LAPD and Chief McDonnell, which will accelerate our ability to respond to hot spots when people splinter off and create pockets of trouble.” (06:01–06:16)
