WHAT DOES RAILWAY POLICE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

railway police

Railroad police

Railroad police or Railway police are different from one country to another. Their roles in some countries are not different from that of any other police agency, while in others they are more related to a type of security police. They are all commonly responsible for the protection of railroad vast networks of properties, facilities and personnel as well as public rail transit systems. Some are given extensive additional authority where other jurisdictions are more restricted. In the United States and Canada, all railroad police are employed by the major Class I railroads, as well as some smaller ones. In other countries, this work is typically done by territorial police forces rather than specialized agencies. In Great Britain, railways fall under the jurisdiction of the British Transport Police, a nation-wide transit police force that is responsible for policing all railways and some public transit systems.
