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.

    Atlanta as their metro police. Idk it’s not the worse, it’s a separate department and jurisdiction which changes the structure. Given LA’s fucked up police maybe it’s a good thing, hard to say imo. On the surface it isn’t outright a bad idea tho
