Metro has appointed William "Bill" Scott as its inaugural Chief of Police and Emergency Management, starting June 23. Scott, with 27 years of service in LAPD and as Chief of San Francisco PD, will spearhead Metro's new in-house police force, addressing past criticisms of subcontracted law enforcement. Metro's leadership emphasizes a multi-faceted approach to transit safety, aiming to combine law enforcement with community support and care-based strategies, reflecting a shift in priorities towards effective, responsive policing.
Sometimes enforcement is the answer, but sometimes it's not.
Metro currently contracts with three external law enforcement agencies, criticized for being ineffective and expensive.
