Transit Police are specialized law enforcement officers responsible for maintaining safety and security in public transportation systems, such as buses, trains, and subways. They work to prevent crime, respond to emergencies, and ensure that passengers feel safe while using these services. Their presence can deter criminal activity and provide assistance to commuters.
These officers often collaborate with local law enforcement agencies and transit authorities to address issues like fare evasion, vandalism, and harassment. They may also conduct investigations and provide community outreach to educate the public about safety measures while using public transit systems like subways and buses.
