The Fublic Safety Committee requested information regarding the costs, implementation issues, and anticipated time line for implernenting improve,ments to the curre,nt method of providing public safety security/law enforcement services at the various City airport facilities, including potentially establishing a single City public safety security/law enforcement agency with responsibility over City-owned airport facilities within City boundaries. The first step in developing such information was the completion of a studyby the Ios Angeles World Airport (I-AWA). On March 24,2005,LAWA released the report prepared by CTI Consulting entitled "Los Angeles Intemational (LAX) Unified Command Study'(CTI Report). With release of the CTI Report the Council directed the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) to comprehensivelyreview the Report and evaluate other information and report back to the Public Safety Committee with recomme,ndations on how best to improve the efficiency of LAWA Police Deparfinent (LAWAPD) and Ios Angeles Police Departrnent (I-A'PD) operations at airport facilities and for implementing improvements to the current method of providing public safety securityflaw enforcement services at the various City airport facilities while maintaining the current level of seryice or enhancing it. This report summarizes the CLA and CAO proposed approach for evaluating various airport public safety security/law enforcement service options and the status of the requested review. RECOMMEITTDATION: It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report.

The CLA and CAO are firther reviewing the CTI Report and developing a list of requested clarifications, questions, and supporting documentation for submittal to LAWA and CTI forresponse. Upon review of that information, the CI-A and CAO will determine whether ornot additional inforrration in those areas covered in the CTI Report are required. At this time it is anticipated additional clarifications in costs, and roles and responsibilities of dispatch/communication, and canine unit operations may be needed. In addition, the CLA and CAO have identified several areas that we believe are important to defining and evaluating airport public safety security/law enforcement senrice options dhat are not discussed in the CTI Report. Therefore, to supplement the information provided in the CTI Report, the CLA and CAO are working to obtain informatioq review, and evaluate the following areas forboth LAWAPD and LAPD operations at arport facilities within the Cityboundaries (I-AX and Van Nuys Airport): o Deplolanent o Roles, responsibilities, duties, qualifications, and fraining of various security/law enforcement positions (Security Officer, Special Officer, Police Officer, Communications Specialist, Police Service Representatives) o Documentation of all LAPD operations at the airport (narcotics and organized crime investigations, etc.) and current Departnent of Airport funding responsibilities for those operations. o Review of other airports in the areas specified above. o Review of liability issues. Four (4) general operational options are curre, rtly anticipated to be reviewed: o All LAWAPD.
