The Metro Transit Police Department (MTPD) is the policing agency of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), created by the WMATA Compact on June 4, 1976.〔 The Metro Transit Police Department is unique in American law enforcement as it is the only U.S. police agency that has full local police authority in three different jurisdictions (Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.). The department has an authorized strength of 490 sworn officers, 170 Special Police Officers, and over 100 civilian personnel. New officers complete twenty-three weeks of initial training at the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy and then complete fifteen additional weeks of training at the Metro Transit Police Academy. The Metro Transit Police is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. == Patrols == Uniformed and plainclothes Transit Police officers patrol the Metrorail system and Metrobuses on foot and on bicycles, and using motorcycles and marked and unmarked police cars. Transit Police Detectives provide investigative support. Transit Police officers have jurisdiction and arrest powers throughout the Metro service area for crimes that occur on Transit Authority facilities,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Metro - Transit Police )〕 or within of a Metrobus stop. Transit Police are actively involved in protecting Metro passengers and infrastructure from terrorist threats. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the Madrid Train Bombing, and the London subway bombings, and periodically since, members of the Metro Transit Police Special Response Team conduct security sweeps of the rail system while armed with special weapons systems, H&K MP5 submachine guns and supported by explosive ordnance detection K-9 teams. Additionally, the department has a dedicated explosive disposal team. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Metro Transit Police Department」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
