The BART Police Department is the police force of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART).
The BART Police Department is has over 300 police personnel, of which 215 are sworn peace officers. BART Police officers are given their powers of arrest from Section 830.33(a) P.C.. Although their powers extend throughout the state, like those of most California peace officers, their primary jurisdiction is on BART property. They can however, take enforcement action for crimes in progress, including traffic infractions, away from BART properties.
BART officers and detectives investigate all reported crimes that occur on BART property. These crimes include transit-related crimes and auto burglaries, auto thefts, robberies, purse snatches, assaults, homicides, and any other felonies, misdemeanors or infractions that occur within the BART District.
There are BART police facilities and field offices in Oakland, Concord, Walnut Creek, Pittsburg/Bay Point, El Cerrito, Dublin/Pleasanton, Castro Valley, San Leandro, Hayward, San Francisco, Colma, and San Bruno.
