SFPD Chief Bill Scott's resignation was anticipated, with rumors suggesting Mayor Daniel Luie sought his departure. Shortly after, it was revealed Scott would lead the newly formed LA Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police Department, essential amid upcoming global events like the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Summer Olympics. During his introductory press conference, Scott emphasized the importance of building a police department that mirrors LA's community values. With a robust background in law enforcement, having served 27 years with LAPD, Scott's transition appears to have been well planned, with endorsements highlighting his qualifications.
"This is about creating something truly meaningful. It's about building a department that reflects the values of LA, community safety and progress," Scott said at his introductory press conference in LA.
"I'm really excited about the building blocks that we have here with someone of the caliber of Chief Scott to really be our leader in this..." said LA Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins.
