Aren't they actually the Los Angeles County Office of Public Safety Police?--Mataharii 18:34, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

The merger w/ LASD?
As of this morning, the California Supreme Court has all but guaranteed the disbanding of LACOPS, and the L.A.County Supervisors are NOT happy w/ that ruling...

What's next?...Michaela92399 02:39, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

The merger was completed bt 30 June 2010. Personnel have been absorbed by the LASD.--71.162.161.175 (talk) 16:27, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Recent Vandalism
Several recent posts have vandalized the article, calling the former police officers "guards" and removing accurate historic information about the agency and changing it to information pertaining to the agency that absorbed it (motto of LACOPS changed to motto of LASD, etc.).

Suddenly it has become fashionable to vandalize this page. LASD facts and figures replaced those of OPS. The budget of OPS did not become $2.3 Billion just because they were designated to take over the responsibilities of OPS. Sheriff Baca never became the chief executive of OPS. After December 15, 2009, Commander Rogner was approved by the Board of Supervisors to run the agency as it was brought to a close. If anything, that is an acceptable change. OPS's motto, policies, budget, etc., remained intact until its final day in existence. Finally, references to OPS police officers as guards or security personnel is further proof of the twisted agenda of the article vandals.Copper 9022 (talk) 03:06, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

A user with IP 75.23.232.107 decided that Thanksgiving would be a good day to attack this article. He pretended to want to let users make up their own minds about information posted on an unmoderated blog that slander former members of this police agency. When his attempts were challenged by others, he decided to post snippets of those unmoderated posts into the comments on his page modifications. Posts from that unmoderated slander fest have no place on Wikipedia. The former members of this agency have known of its existence since 2009, so it doesn't need to be cross posted here. The intent of this article was to document the history of the agency, not to further the agendas of a vocal minority. 99.27.79.131 (talk) 20:24, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

They were police officers whose primary duty was to provide police and security to a government agency or organization.--71.162.161.175 (talk) 16:34, 11 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Per Security Police "Security Police are those persons, employed by or for a governmental agency, who provide police and security services to those agencies' properties." Therefore the LACOPS by definition are security police. --Degen Earthfast (talk) 13:08, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
