Title
RECEIVE AND FILE Transit Safety and Security Report

Issue
ISSUE
This report reflects November and December 2020 performance data as reported under the transit policing deployment strategy which is a combination of in-house fare compliance officers, private security for fixed assets and a multi-agency law enforcement deployment strategy by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD), and Long Beach Police Department (LBPD). In addition, the report highlights initiatives from the System Security and Law Enforcement department and its efforts to create a safer environment for Metro employees and a safer experience for Metro customers.

BACKGROUND
The System Security and Law Enforcement (SSLE) department entered into a multi-agency policing partnership in 2017 to increase the number of police on the Metro system to provide a greater, more visible "felt presence" of police to help deter criminal activity on Metro buses and trains.

DISCUSSION

LAW ENFORCEMENT CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
In September 2020, the SSLE compliance group began using reports generated by the Axiom, Mobile Device Manager (MDM) system and comparing the data with the submitted law enforcement daily deployment schedules to validate which Officers/Deputies logged into the MPV application, at what time, for what location, and at which point they logged off. The sample size encompassed six (6) days and one shift. Based on our findings we expanded our sample audit to twenty-one (21) day increments. The MPV application audit resulted in the following compliance percentages by agency.
