Harris Cancels Book Tour Dates Amid Questions About Taxpayer-Funded Security

Patrol officers have been reassigned since September to accompany the former vice president as she travels for tour events across the United States and occasionally overseas.

State officials have not revealed how many officers are assigned to Harris or the total taxpayer dollars spent on her security; however, a retired CHP officer indicated that the expenses would be “significant.”

“All I know is it’s a lot, it is a significant amount of money,” Republican Assemblyman Tom Lackey, who spent 28 years as a member of the CHP, told KCRA.
