Olympics or Police Cars LA's Dilemma | Los Angeles News
Description
LAPD is seeking $30 million for 300 new patrol cars to handle security during the 2028 Olympics, but city council members are pushing back—questioning the cost, timing, and funding sources. With federal support uncertain and personnel costs projected at over $730 million, the department says these vehicles will be temporary replacements, not fleet expansions. Meanwhile, $13 million has already been approved for non-patrol vehicles like transport vans. The real question remains: who’s really paying for Olympic security?
