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.
