The Mission of the Metro Transit Police Department is to protect Metro patrons, personnel, transit facilities, and revenue by providing law enforcement and public safety services.

MTPD has an authorized strength of 472 sworn police officers, 113 security special police, and 120 civilian personnel. Officers provide a variety of law enforcement and public safety services on the Metrorail and Metrobus systems in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area.

How do Metro Transit Police officers patrol the transit system? Both uniformed and undercover officers ride the buses and trains to patrol routes, while others use squads to respond quickly to emergency situations.

Uniformed and plainclothes Transit Police officers patrol the Metrorail and Metrobus systems on foot, bicycles, motorcycles, and marked and unmarked police cars. Transit Police detectives provide investigative support.

Metro Transit police officers respond to and investigate all crimes reported on transit and at transit facilities throughout the region. They also work with and assist partner law enforcement agencies.

To report suspicious or unwanted behavior through text message, use the Text for Safety feature on Metro Transit’s app, or send a text message to 612-900-0411. You will be put in direct contact with trained Metro Transit staff who can send Transit Police if needed.
