Transit Police

Last updated on January 24, 2019

Commonly called the transit police, the South Coast British Columbia Transit Authority Police Service provides law enforcement on and around the Lower Mainland’s transit system. It supplements the services provided by police in the 22 jurisdictions the transit system passes though. Transit police officers enforce the Criminal Code, other federal statutes, provincial and municipal laws, and have the same powers as other police officers.
