Label Expression Question

DEAF_PROBERT_68 — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 22:41:00 GMT

I need to write a script within the Fire Protection Districts layer in the Label Manager to remove the label that has all the labels for each polygon with their names like this: . Alamosa County Fire Protection District. What I would like is to remove the "Fire Protection District" because the map I am going to create is to be about the Fire Protection Districts . They do not need to duplicate twice..

So here is the example I want to display just Alamosa County only and remove the Fire Protection District

How do I do that ?

Write this expression

VB : Replace([Field Name],"Fire Protection District","")

Python: !%Field Name%!.replace("Fire Protection District","")

That will remove " Fire Protection District" from label.
