LA City Council approves $54M boost to pay LAPD officers who police on Metro
The Los Angeles City Council has approved a six-month extension between the Los Angeles Police Department and Metro for transit policing services that were provided by LAPD during the second half of 2022, including a $54 million increase to the contract.
The increase in drug use on Metro has impacted riders’ experience and employee safety, according to the agency’s operations, safety and customer experience committee. “I don’t think the solution is to take our current police response and keep replicating it, and expanding it over and over again forever,” Raman said. “But nor is it to remove that response and to replace it with nothing and say, ‘We’re going to develop the system later.’ We have to look directly at the problems that we’re facing.”
