Each day, a specialized team of 16 sworn law enforcement officers from both the Sacramento Police Department and Sacramento Sheriff's Office provide policing services for the district. Our officers patrol the system by car, while transit agents patrol the platforms and ride upon our light rail trains.

Regional Transit Police Services (RTPS) officers actively participate in training and educational/outreach programs for not only our employees, but also within the community. Our division has a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to assisting our officers with identifying services and assistance to those who need it.

Watching over the entire transit system is an integrated network of high-quality cameras, monitored 24 hours a day to keep both riders and employees safe. The 12-member team assigned to the Security Operations Center (SOC) not only monitors those traveling on the busses and trains, but also assists regional law enforcement agencies with archived video requests that assist with solving any crime that occurs within or near SacRT property.

Additionally, SacRT deploys a proactive team of 26 Transit Ambassadors, who are supported by a large team of security guards across the entire transit system. This team of SacRT employees are tasked with providing customer service and in fare enforcement.

SacRT believes that fare enforcement not only improves the safety across its system, but also conveys a sense of equity to its ridership. This transparent and responsive approach has helped effectively reduce fare evasion and loitering on our trains and within our light rail stations since the implementation of the Fare Paid Zone policy by the SacRT Board of Directors in June of 2017. We are proud that, since then, this has improved our response to security in a more timely and efficient manner.
