Nearly 400 people were arrested in Los Angeles Saturday night, according to Police Chief Michel Moore, adding that the bulk of those arrests were for looting.
A curfew from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday remains in effect for the entire city.
The chief plans to double the Los Angeles Police Department's workforce Sunday night and 500 National Guard members will join police in maintaining order.
National Guard members will not be patrolling the streets of L.A., but will be stationed at specific businesses in order to protect them from damage, Moore added
"My hope and prayer is that their tenure is short here," Moore said.
National Guard reservists are also on standby for other cities in California, including San Francisco and San Diego, according to Brian Ferguson, spokesman for the state’s Office of Emergency Management.
