-- Los Angeles police increased security measures in and around Dodger Stadium for Monday night's game against the San Diego Padres, an LAPD spokesman said. "We are reminding the public that if they see something, say something," Lt. Andy Neiman said. "These precautions are strictly to reassure the public that they are safe and that their police department is aware of what is going on."
-- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) officials: "While there is no information to suggest that there is any nexus to the Los Angeles area, in an abundance of caution, Airport Police has increased its presence at LAX, LA/Ontario International, and Van Nuys airports by deploying bomb-detection canines, additional patrol officers and security personnel."
-- Los Angeles Metro security was placed on "a heightened state of alert while normal Metro bus and rail service continues," a spokesman said. Metro passengers are likely to see or encounter extra patrols by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, which provides security for the Metro system. This may include bomb-sniffing dogs at Los Angeles Union Station and other Metro facilities.
-- Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa: "We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to monitor the situation and stand ready to aid Boston in any way possible. The LAPD and other public safety agencies will remain vigilant at all public and sporting events in Los Angeles."
