Editing Transit police (section)

===Autonomous agencies===
[[File:British Transport Police vehicles.jpg|thumb|In [[Great Britain]], [[British Transport Police]] have full police powers and are a stand-alone special police force.]]
A transit police force may consist of officers employed directly by a transit system or by a government agency dedicated to providing specialized law enforcement services.  There are numerous instances of both within [[United States]], given the decentralized nature of US law enforcement; examples of larger, stand-alone agencies within the US include the [[MBTA Police]], [[Bay Area Rapid Transit Police Department|BART Police]], and the [[New Jersey Transit Police Department]]. In the [[United Kingdom]], transit law enforcement is provided by a single, nation-wide agency, the [[British Transport Police]], although other law enforcement agencies may assist with this task. Within [[India]], many transit policing services are conducted by the [[Government Railway Police]].
