Meeting_Body OPERATIONS, SAFETY, AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE COMMITTEE APRIL 17, 2025 Subject SUBJECT: MONTHLY UPDATE ON PUBLIC SAFETY Action ACTION: RECEIVE AND FILE Heading RECOMMENDATION Title RECEIVE AND FILE the Public Safety Report. Issue ISSUE Metro is committed to providing outstanding trip experiences for all transportation system users. In furtherance of the Vision 2028 Plan, Metro implemented a multi-faceted plan to improve safety and safety perceptions for riders and employees. The following summarizes current initiatives to accomplish this objective and recent public safety trends. Background BACKGROUND Within Metro's Public Safety Mission statement, the agency recognizes that every individual is entitled to a safe, dignified, and humane experience. In March 2023, the Board adopted a revised Code of Conduct, a Bias-Free Policing Policy, and a Public Safety Analytics Policy to avert racial profiling and bias in the deployment of Metro security and law enforcement services. In 2024, the agency enhanced its public safety model further by adopting a three-pronged strategy consisting of increasing the engaged, visible presence of uniformed personnel, improving access control to ensure the system is being used only for its intended purpose of transit, and strengthening partnerships to address societal issues with the County, cities, Regional Agencies, and nonprofit partners to address homelessness, untreated mental illness, and drug addiction. These actions align with numerous initiatives to improve safety and the perception of safety on the system, including the increased, strategic, and layered deployment of personnel (comprised of customer-centered ambassadors, community intervention specialists, homeless outreach staff, transit security, private security, and law enforcement officers) and the piloting of safety and security interventions to address specific concerns (e.g., trespassing, drug use and crime) on the system.
