This synthesis will be of interest to transit agency general managers, police and security, operations, training, and human resources staffs, and to local police officials. It offers information on a variety of approaches to improving transit security. The nature and extent of transit crime, effective strategies to combat problem situations, and case studies of specific control practices deemed successful by transit agency professionals (with no distinctions drawn between bus and rail modes) are discussed. This report focuses on the concerns that selected transit agencies addressed when developing programs to combat an increase in violence, ranging from those dealing with daily service operations to those involving coordination of efforts with local law enforcement authorities, schools, and community groups. |
