The Beverly Hills Police Officers Association (BHPOA) has endorsed former federal prosecutor Nathan Hochman in the Nov. 5 race for Los Angeles County District Attorney. Hochman is also endorsed by a long list of first responders, including police officer associations in 17 other cities, the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs, the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs Association and the Association of Deputy District Attorneys. According to recent polls, Hochman is leading in the race against George Gascón, LA County’s current DA.
“We support Nathan Hochman for district attorney because of his plan to work together with police and other community leaders to reduce the residential burglaries and robberies and other crimes that have plagued our city,” BHPOA Board President Christian Bond told the Courier. “I mean, crime has just skyrocketed. And nothing’s been done about it. We feel that Nathan Hochman is the best choice for a district attorney.”
