Abstract:

This synthesis will be of interest to transit agency general managers, transit police, security professionals, safety departments, and transit agency personnel in operations, maintenance, procurement, and administration, as well as to local, state, and federal law enforcement and emergency preparedness agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. It provides a useful perspective on mass transit preparedness, offering information on the current practices of selected transit agencies to prevent and respond to terrorism and acts of extreme violence. This synthesis contrasts transit perspectives to those of general service police through a review of the relevant literature.
