Although specific figures weren’t available Friday, the reshuffling will reduce the size of the vaunted Metropolitan Division, as well as cut the air support, robbery and homicide and gang and narcotics divisions, Los Angeles Times reported.

The department also will reduce desk hours at its stations, cut special deployments in popular areas such as Venice and Hollywood, and stop staffing teams that cover homelessness issues.
