I don't know the first thing about LA, but I don't see how the finances wouldn't be public.

I think another way to look at it is whether this well spent money, aka the Defund the Police angle. You could have a working Social Services department doing a lot more good with some of that money. That way social workers could actually prevent crime instead of sending police after the fact to shoot, beat, and arrest marginalized people.
