Issue
ISSUE
As of June 2021, Metro System Security & Law Enforcement (SSLE) will be revising and updating the performance data to improve accuracy and details related to KPIs for its multi-agency law enforcement deployment strategies provided by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD), and Long Beach Police Department (LBPD). As such, crime data for June and July will be available for the next Board Reporting period. To avoid discrepancies related to crime reclassifications and consistent with contract terms and conditions, SSLE will have all data submitted by the 15th of every month, which will provide ample time for staff to review, thereby providing the Board with complete and accurate data. This month's report will not provide any detailed crime data attachments pending the implementation of this new process; however, other key updates are highlighted to share progress on safety and security initiatives and milestones. In the interim, SSLE Executive Staff will be available to provide any specific request for crime data and information for the current month as available.
