Bill Scott to head LA Metro’s nascent transportation cops

Appearing at the agency’s press conference Wednesday in Los Angeles, Scott described his new role as “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

“This isn’t just about designing uniforms or writing policy; this is about creating something truly meaningful. It’s about building a department that reflects the values of Los Angeles: community, safety, and progress,” he said. “When I first learned about Metro’s vision to create this multi-layered safety model based on accountability and built around people, I saw something that felt ambitious and necessary. I knew that I wanted to be a part of it.”
