Cleanup reportedly delayed at LAPD station after cops exposed to MRSA

LOS ANGELES — Efforts to rid a LAPD station of a dangerous bacteria were delayed because police were unable to reach someone at the city’s General Service Department for a cleanup crew on May 3.
According to LAist, it took hours for a cleaning crew to be dispatched to the station, leaving officers working inside the station at a time when the extent of the bacteria contamination was unclear.
The bacteria was found after the station’s commander went to the hospital for a rash. Doctors determined it was a treatment-resistant staph infection.
