Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police (MTA Police) are responsible for ensuring safety and security across the MTA’s transit systems, including subways, buses, and trains in the New York City area. They enforce laws, respond to emergencies, and help maintain order on transit property. Their role is similar to that of city police but focused specifically on transportation facilities and services. They work to prevent crime, assist passengers, and coordinate with other law enforcement agencies to keep the transit system safe, reliable, and accessible for millions of daily riders.
