The Los Angeles Dodgers have a hefty bill to cover after celebrating their World Series victory in the City of Angels. After besting the New York Yankees via a gentleman's sweep in an exciting East vs. West battle for baseball supremacy, the Dodgers took home their second World Series title in five years.

Having won the series in the Bronx, the Dodgers were given a heroes' welcome upon their arrival as the championship parade rang through the streets of Los Angeles. MLB.com reported about 250,000 Angelinos witnessed the parade live with another 42,000 watching the pep rally at Dodger Stadium.

To keep excited fans safe during the celebrations, the City of Los Angeles summoned the Los Angeles Police Department, who spread their officers throughout the route and the rally. The LAPD's presence and efforts at the parade cost $1,738,621.19. The Los Angeles Dodgers' championship parade cost the organization $2,028,805.19.
The Dodgers are working on reimbursing the city of LA for the costs of their celebrations. The Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in five games to win their first title since 2020. Furthermore, the Los Angeles Fire Department was also on hand. While the firefighters cost significantly less than the cops, they still invoiced $290,184.
Overall, the police and fire personnel resulted in a $2,028,805.19 bill. The gigantic bill was warranted during the celebration but does not sit well for a city facing financial turmoil. Lucky for LA, California laws require organizations to reimburse the city for the cost of a special event such as a championship parade.
