They do, and much like BPD, they are utterly worthless.

I wouldn't be so quick with the transit police. Supposedly thats one of the more "prestigious" police departments of Mass. But, yes; I can attest BPD are worthless

As someone who needed the assistance of transit police last week when there was a fight on the platform, can confirm they are utterly worthless. They ignored the first guy that tried to get their attention and shushed him and went behind the corner until I went around and told them. They meandered their way to the fight where somebody could've easily fallen onto the tracks.

They have a blog where they report on their doings. What evidence of uselessness do you have to counter with?

My bike was stolen right in front of MBTA security cameras. I’m not even sure if they’ve looked at them. Every time I called to check on my case, I was told they’d contact me if they found anything.

And if they did look at them, what then? Lot of people out there trying to ban police use of facial recognition tech. In the absence of both suspect and bike, seems like there's not much more to be done.
