Metropolitan (Metro) Division

Los Angeles, CA 90014
The Metropolitan Division (Metro) of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) was created in 1933 as a compact, mobile crime suppression unit that worked throughout the City to suppress criminal activity. Today, the primary responsibility of Metro is to provide support to the Department’s community-based policing efforts by deploying additional crime suppression resources throughout the City. Assignments include uniformed crime suppression details, as well as responding to high-risk barricaded situations, stakeouts, security details, warrant service, and assisting investigators in solving major crimes.
