During the LA Metro’s regularly scheduled board meeting Thursday, the board was presented with possible plans related to establishing a new in-house public safety department.
After hours of public comment and statements from the leaders of the three law enforcement agencies currently contracted to provide public safety services on LA Metro trains and buses, the board decided it was best to begin the long process of building a new police force from the ground up and ending or modifying its existing contracts with regional law enforcement partners, KTLA reports.
