About Us

Metro Vancouver Transit Police is the only transit police service in Canada, a multi-jurisdictional policing agency dedicated to the provision of policing to the transit system in Metro Vancouver. The Transit Police service area is the entire transportation service region – an area crossing twenty-one municipalities and one First Nation, served by a combination of seventeen independent police agencies and RCMP detachments.

194 police officers, 24 Community Safety Officers, and 98 civilian professionals are responsible for 148 km of rail, 63 stations, about 2000 buses, 245 bus routes and one passenger ferry route, all spread out over 1800 square kilometres.

Transit Police takes a strategic approach to transit safety, working to create a feeling of safety for people that use the transit system and for transit employees. We work to reduce crime and disorder through the use of data, intelligence, and reports from the public. We are proud to work in partnership with jurisdictional police, TransLink and other transit community partners.
