Metro Transit Police, in their effort to protect both Metro operators and riders, patrol the Metro Transit system and its facilities by bus, on bike and by car. Through tracking of reported activities they are able to organize their patrols to meet the needs of the system.

Metro Transit Police are committed to the King County Sheriff's Office philosophy of community oriented policing which calls for partnership, prevention, problem solving and organizational change. King County Metro Transit works with the Seattle Police Department and other police agencies throughout the Metro Transit system to insure public safety.

Through these partnerships they share information, ideas and solutions to common safety issues.
