Transit Systems

Print
The goal of every transit system is to provide safe, reliable, convenient, economical, and accessible public transportation services to meet the needs of their community. While security is only one characteristic of a successful, efficient transportation system, many transit agencies in the United States have recognized the need for greater security awareness and preparation. The Wackenhut Corporation has been a major player in developing customized approaches to protecting public transit systems, increasing ridership and reducing the financial burden from transit crime. From rail systems to bus operations, Wackenhut’s Custom Protection Officers® work to improve the safety and security of passengers, employees, and the public with innovative customer-service focused programs that reassure patrons and earn the public trust.

Wackenhut’s Custom Protection Officers® can be found riding buses and trains, providing platform and station security, enforcing system rules, patrolling parking areas, assisting riders, monitoring fare collection, monitoring hotline programs, serving as Public Ambassadors, and providing investigative services. Wackenhut has the proven experience with CFR 49 compliance, Threat Vulnerability Assessments, and the development of System Security Program Plans that meet the Post 9/11 security concerns of forward thinking transit agencies. With the intense competition for transit dollars, Wackenhut’s protective programs offer unmatched solutions to the need for quasi-law enforcement service without the law enforcement price. From light rail systems to city and county bus lines, Wackenhut’s customized programs have proven to be the model for successful public/private partnerships. Professionalism with Integrity
