An investigative reporter found a “private LAPD protection detail” outside the home of Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez after she introduced a motion to cut the department’s budget by $150 million.

The LAPD detail appeared in April but was “canceled Thursday night” when Spectrum News contacted Martinez for comment.

“After death threats to the Council President and her daughter and safety concerns that began over a month ago, LAPD recommended that placing a detail at her home was the best course of action to ensure the safety of the Council President and her family,” Rick Coca, a Martinez spokesman, told the news station.

Natalie Brunell of Spectrum News found a squad car outside Martinez’s residence providing “round-the-clock protection” that was “often staffed by two officers.”
