===Powers=== Some transit police forces have full policing powers, such as the US' [[Bay Area Rapid Transit Police Department|BART Police]], [[SEPTA]]'s Transit Police, [[Metro Transit Police Department]], [[Utah Transit Authority Police Department]] or the [[MBTA Police]]. The UK's [[British Transport Police]], also has full police powers within [[Great Britain]]. In some areas, transit police agencies have limited or specific powers, and may be classed as [[special police]] or [[special constable]]s, or peace officers with limited powers, such as [[Canada]]'s [[Edmonton]] Transit Peace Officers.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.edmonton.ca/ets/transit-peace-officer-fulltime|title=Transit Peace Officer Full-time|author=<!--Not stated-->|date=2021|website=edmonton.ca|publisher=[[City of Edmonton]]|access-date=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210817113735/https://www.edmonton.ca/ets/transit-peace-officer-fulltime|archive-date=17 August 2021}}</ref> Regardless, transit police services nearly always hold more authority than un-sworn, security guard-only services.
