Should LA Metro create it own police department?
That question will be put to a vote at the mega transit agency’s board meeting on Thursday, June 22, when its board will decide whether to move ahead with a plan to launch an in-house Metro Police Department.
The board’s options are to listen to the pros and cons of a transit police department, but then table the matter; vote it down; or direct Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins to craft a comprehensive implementation plan that would be brought back to the board in January, 2024.
It has been contracted out to the LAPD/LASD. The contract is coming up, so they’re exploring options largely due to the worthlessness of the police. This is also a large part in the recent step up of enforcement as the departments were publicly embarrassed when the Metro announced they were thinking of going another route at that time
