transit police
Station law enforcement
Transit police are law enforcement officers who patrol and maintain security on public transportation systems—subways, buses, commuter rails, and their stations.
They handle crimes occurring in transit, enforce fare payment, and respond to emergencies within the system.
Most major cities with extensive public transit have dedicated transit police forces: Transit police arrested a man for assault on the platform.
