The Railroad Police Directorate is responsible for patrolling all rail infrastructure throughout the nation, ensuring the safety and security of all rolling stock, facilities and persons as well as prevention and investigation of crime across the rail transport system, exercising full policing authority on all railroad property. The Railroad Police do not patrol urban rapid transit, which is separate from the national rail infrastructure.
