The force is called the "Metropolitan Police," and their badges are silver, of a more generic style, instead of the distinctive LAPD bronze-colored badges depicting old Los Angeles City Hall. However, City Hall does figure prominently in several fly-bys. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0085255/trivia Presumably the LAPD didn't give permission for its name and emblem to be used.
