The wife of the LAPD chief appeared to flout guidelines in an Arizona trip to get a manicure and pedicure, later posting pictures on Facebook

• The wife of the Los Angeles Police Department's chief posted on social media about her trip to Arizona, ignoring guidelines for nonessential travel.
• "Took a road trip to Arizona just to have a manicure and pedicure," Cindy Moore wrote in her Facebook post, according to CBS Los Angeles. "Fun few days hanging out and doing 'normal' stuff."
• While traveling outside of Los Angeles remains legal, city health officials have urged residents to avoid travel when possible, and the CDC has recommended that Americans avoid all nonessential travel.

As the city of Los Angeles is maintaining strict social distancing measures, the wife of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) chief showed her Facebook friends that she ignored travel guidelines to vacation in Arizona during the coronavirus pandemic.

Cindy Moore, LAPD Chief Michel Moore's wife, posted multiple photos and videos of the trip in a since-deleted post, according to CBS Los Angeles. The post, shared last week, reportedly showed Moore and her daughter enjoying their vacation by jet skiing, visiting a restaurant and bar, and having a spa day.

"Took a road trip to Arizona just to have a manicure and pedicure," Moore captioned the post, according to CBS Los Angeles. "Fun few days hanging out and doing 'normal' stuff."

Insider could not independently obtain a copy of the original post at press time.

Moore did not appear to break any laws with her trip to Arizona, where restrictions were lifted on May 16. But her decision to travel outside of Los Angeles defied advice from the city's leaders and public health officials, who have urged residents not to travel. The CDC continues to recommend that Americans avoid all nonessential travel.

While the rest of California has begun to ease restrictions, Los Angeles County will likely keep its stay-at-home order and nonessential business closures in place until the end of July.

The LAPD and the office of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti did not return Insider's requests for comment at press time, but a spokesperson for the LAPD told Newsweek that they would "not be commenting on the activities of Chief Moore's family."
