LAPD may move traffic operations

Centralized division in the Crenshaw District could be broken up, with some of its 120 officers being sent to the Harbor Area. Officers assigned to handle traffic-related problems and crashes in the Harbor Area might soon be stationed locally instead of more than 20 miles away in the Crenshaw District.
