Transit Patrol Directorate (Lower Mainland Constabulary)

The Transit Patrol Directorate is one of eleven directorates of the Lower Mainland Constabulary (LMC), the territorial police force of the Lower Mainland/Metro Vancouver region (which consists of seven neighbouring counties, and is officially known as the Lower Mainland Police Area).

The constabulary's Transit Patrol Directorate is one of eleven directorates of the Lower Mainland Constabulary. It functions much the same as the constabulary's larger Patrol Directorate, but is instead responsible for patrolling the public bus system and rapid transit/metro system (which consists of six individual subway and skytrain lines). Covering essentially the whole Lower Mainland, the bus and rapid transit system is operated by TransLink, a provincial crown corporation; the LMC's Transit Patrol Directorate is responsible for providing first response to 911 and non-emergency calls relating to transit vehicles and property, from both transit employees and the public; long-distance buses and trains originating in Vancouver are patrolled by the British Columbia Provincial Police (BCPP), as is the transit system located outside the Lower Mainland which is operated by BC Transit.

The headquarters of the Transit Patrol Directorate is located at Burrard Street Station in Downtown Vancouver, North Fraser County. Waterfront Station, the busiest transit station in the lower mainland and terminus of five of the six subway/skytrain lines, houses the Transit Patrol Directorate's main jail facility in the sub-basement; a secure underground tunnel links the few jails in the basement of Burrard Street Station with the Waterfront Station basement jails complex.
