The T travels between towns so the T police have jurisdiction on any crimes committed on T property. The are a number of assaults on the T daily they handle all of those. They do sometimes ride the T in plain clothes but not in uniform. There is no appetite for the T police to ride in uniform some people consider that in itself violence.

I assumed they meant the part about there being no appetite for them to be there

I've never seen any actually ride. Definitely bodies inside the station sometimes though. Most of the time chilling in their running SUV's

They have full police powers in every city and town that T operates in.
