Hahn Wants Law Enforcement Agencies Contracting with Metro to Have and Enforce Employee Vaccination Mandate

LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles Metro Board of Directors Operations, Safety, and Customer Experience Committee Nov. 18, unanimously approved a motion by Supervisor Janice Hahn which requires law enforcement agencies that contract with Metro to enforce a COVID-19 vaccination mandate for their employees.  

The motion was adopted as an amendment to an item which would extend Metro’s contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the Los Angeles Police Department, and the Long Beach Police Department and will be voted on by the full Metro Board on Dec. 2.

If the full Metro Board of Directors approves the item Dec. 2, law enforcement agencies will need to enforce a vaccination mandate for their employees by July 2022 or lose their contract with Metro. This would include the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department
