What type of liaison does Transit Systems Security have with local law enforcement agencies?
Transit Systems Security works closely with all local law enforcement agencies and conducts joint meetings and briefings to plan for response to disasters and civil unrest. Services provided by local law enforcement agencies at no charge to public transit agencies include (1) the acceptance of prisoners arrested by Transit Security Officers, (2) investigative services for serious crimes and accidents which are initially responded to by Transit Security Officers, and (3) police officers to support Transit Security Officers at special events which impact transit operations. Also, law enforcement agencies assign police officers to work with our Transit Security Officers on various crime suppression activities.
