Behind the State Police, I think the MBTA Transit Police has the largest jurisdiction. They are responsible for anything MBTA but they can also pull you over for traffic stuff I guess. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a transit cop riding the train, however, when I use to get off at Forest Hills, the transit cops I saw usually seemed busy.

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

Oh boy. The time a younger dumber version of myself thought doing a wheelie past the transit cop would be good GoPro footage. It was instead a fairly expensive ticket and tow 🤣

I could be completely wrong, but I think the environmental police actually have the most jurisdiction
