- A new team of armed and unarmed security officers will be assigned to buses throughout Los Angeles County.
- The move follows the Los Angeles Metro Board of Directors’ decision last week to fund hiring 48 such officers to ensure the safety of bus operators and riders amid a rise in assaults on transit routes.
- A Metro spokesperson said that the annual budget required for the additional 48 transit officers is $6.2 million.
