		At the MBTA Transit Police Department it is defined as "doing the right thing when no one is looking." The nature of policing is such that most of the Officer's work is done out of sight of their supervisors.

	Transit police - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Where the term "transit police" is used for the police working for a railroad, it usually refers to a railroad providing urban mass transit (such as a city elevated system or subway) as opposed to long-distance rail carriage.
		Some of the crimes transit police and railroad police investigate include trespassing on the right-of-way of a railroad, assaults against passengers, tagging of graffiti on railroad rolling stock and buses or bus stops, pickpocketing, ticket fraud, robbery and theft of personal belongings, baggage or freight.
		Transit and railroad police tend to have better results in finding perpetrators of crimes they investigate than public police forces, possibly due to specialization and smaller case loads.

	Schneier on Security: Police Department Privilege Escalation
		Even though transit police departments are meant to police their vehicles only, the title -- and the ostensible authority that comes along with it -- is useful elsewhere.
		The issue of private transit firms creating police agencies has in recent years been a concern in Illinois, where several individuals with criminal histories created railroads as a means of forming a police agency.
		Some history of police forces in the US might be helpful here...some cities in the midwest, for example, essentially had competing armed brigades (constables and volunteer night watches) in the mid 1800s that basically only represented their own ethnicity.
