Editing Calgary Transit (section)

=== Officers ===
PS&E peace officers have similar powers of a police officer to enforce federal statutes and various provincial statutes while in the execution of their specifically appointed duties, as they pertain to Calgary Transit property. Officers enforce the ''Criminal Code of Canada'' (CCC), the ''Gaming and Liquor Act of Alberta'', the ''Traffic Safety Act of Alberta'' (TSA) – non-moving violations, the ''Provincial Offences and Procedures Act'' (POPA), ''Trespass to Premise Act'' (TPA), the ''Petty Trespass Act of Alberta'' and all municipal by-laws for the City of Calgary.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://kings-printer.alberta.ca/1266.cfm?page=P03P5.cfm&leg_type=Acts&isbncln=9780779741441&CFID=191770960&CFTOKEN=2dd48840be154adb-4DF79064-F20C-DC2C-AF15231A15DAB1AC|title=Alberta King's Printer|first=Government of|last=Alberta|date=September 17, 2012|website=kings-printer.alberta.ca}}</ref>

PS&E officers have a Memorandum of Understanding or (MoU) with the [[Calgary Police Service]] that gives transit peace officers extended authority to arrest and detain individuals with outstanding warrants and execute these warrants. This extended authority also allows for transport of arrested individuals to the Calgary Court Services Section (CSS) or Calgary Remand Center (CRC).

Currently, the force deploys 140 officers with full [[peace officer]]s status. All officers are equipped with handcuffs, [[OC spray]], collapsible batons and protective [[body armour]].

In June 2009, a new mountain bike unit of eight officers was created and deployed. Officers went through an intensive week-long training program through the internationally recognized Law Enforcement Bike Association (LEBA).

PS&E partners with the local municipal police force:[[Calgary Police Service]], in enforcing laws in the Calgary area on transit properties. As with most agencies, PS&E utilizes its own radio service; and a centralized call taking and dispatch centre.
