That's a good question, any I have no idea of the answer, but the port authority of NY and NJ has it's own police. I always figured it was because it spanned jurisdictions, but perhaps there are other reasons
- SoftTalker 2y agoChicago has CTA police and the suburban rail system Metra has its own police also.
- selectodude 2y agoCTA doesn’t have its own police. That’s just normal CPD.
- SoftTalker 2y agoHm, maybe CPD has a CTA detail then? I thought there was (or used to be) a CTA police division that had their own uniforms, cars, etc. I seem to also remember a CHA police for the housing projects, but it's been a long time since I lived there.
- TylerE 2y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_police https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_police are actually a thing! It's not just transit either. Most of the big US railroads have their own private police forces. The officers are deputized by the state, and then by federal law their powers are valid in any state that railroad has track. They even have arrest powers.
- arcticbull 2y agoCN and CPKC police are deputized in both the US and Canada, at the Federal, Provincial and State levels. Transnational private police.
