Due to the Department\u2019s working relationship with Mr. Williams, the investigation was referred to the FBI. The FBI remains the investigating agency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams has been placed on administrative leave, said Seidl, who declined to provide additional details.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Mayor takes this matter very seriously,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen the threat was reported, LAPD investigated and determined there was no immediate danger. Following additional investigation, LAPD referred this matter to the FBI for further investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams could not immediately be reached for comment. <\/p>\n<p>FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller declined to comment, saying the agency cannot confirm or deny any investigation. <\/p>\n<p>Williams has spent nearly two years as a deputy mayor in Bass\u2019 office, working on issues such as police hiring, public safety spending and the search for a new police chief. Before that, he held a variety of government positions spanning more than three decades.<\/p>\n<p>Williams was a deputy mayor in the administration of Mayor James K. Hahn, who held office from 2001 to 2005. Before that, Williams spent several years an assistant city attorney in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>From 2016 to 2023, Williams was  the executive director of Los Angeles County\u2019s Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission, according to his LinkedIn page.<\/p>\n<p>Working in Bass\u2019 office, Williams oversaw the Police Department, the Fire Department, port police, airport police and the city\u2019s emergency management agency, according to his hiring announcement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2024-12-18\/fbi-agents-search-home-of-l-a-deputy-mayor-over-city-hall-bomb-threat\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FBI agents searched the home of a Los Angeles deputy mayor as part of an investigation into a bomb threat made against City Hall, officials said Wednesday.
