About Us



Contract Law Enforcement Bureau is located at the Hall of Justice.



The role of the Contract Law Enforcement Bureau was greatly expanded in 1999. The Bureau held a limited role exclusively within the contract city law enforcement program. However, with the beginning of Trial Court Funding (which changed court security operations from a county service to a contract service), the acquisition of the Metropolitan Transit Authority contract policing function, the Los Angeles Community Colleges policing function, the growth of custody contracts, and the advent of unincorporated patrol service level accountability, Contract Law Enforcement Bureau was given a significantly expanded role in the provision of county wide law enforcement services.



As of 2016, Contract Law Enforcement Bureau was responsible for the management of contract law enforcement programs totaling more than $850 million. Our contracts continue to grow in many directions to include food services, addition of contract cities and growth in current contracts.



The Contract Law Enforcement Bureau is a resource to Department executives, Unit Commanders, and contract clients alike. It is not our intent to come between the client and the service provider (Unit Commander). However, because of Contract Law's technical expertise, it does receive numerous inquiries and responds directly to contract clients.
