About New York City Transit Police

The New York City Transit Police Department was a law enforcement agency in New York City that existed from 1953 to 1995, and is currently part of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). The roots of this organization go back to 1936 when Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia authorized the hiring of special patrolmen for the New York City Subway. These patrolmen eventually became officers of the Transit Police. In 1949, the department was officially divorced from the NYPD, but was eventually fully re-integrated in 1995 as the Transit Bureau of the New York City Police Department by New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani.
