Security Services Division

Security Services Division
Abbreviation	SECSD
Organizational structure
Part of	Los Angeles Police Department Office of Operations Assistant to the Director
Command staff
Commanding Officer	Captain III

The Security Services Division (SECSD) of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is responsible for the safety and security of City buildings, facilities, parks, shops, yards and warehouses, the Los Angeles Civic Center, the Los Angeles Zoo, Public Works Bureau of Sanitation Water Treatment Facilities, City Libraries, City Parks, and all non-proprietary City facilities, their employees, and visitors.

Functions

SECSD consists of three major components:

• Police Officer component, responsible for all law enforcement-related activities surrounding specific City facilities.
• Security Officer component is comprised of unarmed security officers who are City employees. These full-time and “as needed” (part and half time) unarmed civilian security officers staff fixed post positions at various City facilities and rely on the police component to respond to any issues deemed law enforcement-related.
• Contract Security Officer component is comprised of private security guards.

Notes

The Security Services Division was created on July 1, 2012, when the City of Los Angeles Office of Public Safety merged with the Los Angeles Police Department. In the real LAPD, the Division was created under the command of the Assistant to the Director, Office of Special Operations, but as that office doesn't exist in the Major Crimes Universe, it's more than probable that the Assistant to the Director, Office of Operations, is the Division's supervisor.
