While on a metro line, transit police officers must wear a high visibility reflective vest.

When the all call scene returns to Code 4 and the threat is gone, Transit Police Officers must leave the scene and return back to their jurisdiction.
Transit Police may only follow a pursuit if it begins in their jurisdiction or it involves a bus. When a second unit begins following the pursuit, the Transit Officer must go down to the secondary position.
