    LA police chief Bratton stepping down
    By MICHAEL R. BLOOD

    LOS ANGELES [[AP) - The president of the Los Angeles City Council says highly praised Police Chief William Bratton is stepping down.
    Councilman Eric Garcetti says Bratton disclosed his surprise decision Wednesday in a private meeting.
    Bratton's decision comes after a seven-year tenure in which he instituted vast reforms of the once-scandalized police department.
    Just last month a judge released the department from eight years of oversight by the U.S. Department of Justice, which had alleged a long pattern of abuse.
    Under Bratton, Los Angeles has seen declining crime rates since 2003.
    Garcetti says the city's residents are safer than they've been in "half a lifetime."

    It would be great if we could get Bratton, but although the quoted story doesn't mention it, reportedly he is moving to a private security firm, Altegrity.

    That, and, well, Detroit is, what, a few weeks/months into a new police chief?
