Olympics Security Costs Divide City | Los Angeles News
Description
The LAPD is seeking $30 million for 300 new patrol vehicles to secure the 2028 Olympics, but city officials are pushing back—questioning who should pay for Olympic security when federal funds are stretched thin. While the department expects federal support for officer deployment (potentially costing over $730 million), they’re unlikely to cover vehicle purchases. The city has already approved $13 million for non-patrol gear, and the LAPD insists these cars will be temporary replacements—not fleet expansion. With the decision delayed, officials are exploring state-level partnerships and digging deeper into the financial fallout.
