Officer claims LAPD failed to protect her after alleged AirTag monitoring by assistant chief
LA TimesFormer LAPD assistant chief Al Labrada, right, held a news conference in October with his lawyer Jeremy Tissot regarding allegations of him tracking a lower-ranking officer he was romantically involved with. A female LAPD officer who accused former assistant chief Alfred “Al” Labrada of unlawfully tracking her has filed a legal claim alleging department leadership failed to shield her from backlash, both inside the department and on social media. At the news conference in October, Labrada said the case had caused him “significant emotional and physical distress.” He accused department leadership — singling out Chief Michel Moore on several occasions — for making details about the case public that he said should have been protected by state privacy laws. “It’s entirely inappropriate for an assistant chief in LAPD to place what is in effect an electronic dog collar on a simple police officer that he was in a romantic relationship with,” said McNicholas, adding that Silva began receiving text messages from colleagues shortly after she reported Labrada to internal affairs.
