Today, Monday, April 28, the city started screening for concealed weapons at the C-Line Norwalk station as part of LA Metro’s safety program.

Instead of detecting anything composed of metal, the goal is to identify concealed weapons and other objects that could represent a threat to Metro passengers using modern technologies that are much less evasive than conventional metal detectors.
Officials will assess the technique’s effectiveness as it is monitored.

According to a media release, Metro will start checking passengers for concealed weapons at the C Line Norwalk station and will evaluate the technologies for a year at several important stations to determine whether they can be a useful, extra layer to its comprehensive approach to safety, which has included installing modern fare gates, improving the environment, increasing the number of uniformed personnel, and implementing care-based strategies.

From robbery to violent assault, crime in LA’s metro system has steadily increased over time. Crimes against individuals and crimes against property have risen 17.1% and 11.6%, respectively, since January, according to the metro’s February crime report from the Operations, Safety, and Customer Experience Committee. Crimes against society, such as firearms, trespassing, and drug use, have dropped 3.7% since the start of the year.
