TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute an agreement, and any subsequent amendments, to provide law enforcement and security services to Long Beach Community College District for a period of three years. (Districts 5,6)
DISCUSSION
Since August 2003, the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) has been providing police security services to the Long Beach City College (LBCC) Liberal Arts and Pacific Coast campuses.
