Metro Adding More Security Across Los Angeles Transit System Metro is continuing to increase security across its rail and bus system, with additional law-enforcement and transit-security personnel being deployed at stations and aboard trains. The increased presence comes as Metro works to address ongoing concerns over crime, drug use and passenger safety while preparing for major upcoming events in Los Angeles. Metro has also been moving forward with plans for its own dedicated transit police department, which is expected to gradually take over more responsibility for policing the system. For riders across Los Angeles, the changes could mean a noticeably larger uniformed security presence during their daily commute.
