Santa Clara County Sheriff Transit Patrol

The Santa Clara County Sheriff Transit Patrol Division provides contracted supplemental general law-enforcement services for the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) in Santa Clara County, California. The division's primary goal is safety for VTA patrons and employees and security of VTA vehicles and property across VTA's bus and light-rail system, which serves municipalities and unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County. Published responsibilities include 24-hour uniformed patrol, explosives-detection K-9s, motorcycle and bicycle patrol, detectives, and transit-related crime suppression, plus supplemental coverage for VTA property at the Milpitas BART Station. This listing identifies the Sheriff Transit Patrol as the law-enforcement provider for VTA — not a separate municipal police department and not the VTA public tip/alert channel. Address: 3303 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95134. Transit Patrol phone: (408) 321-7149. Dial 911 for emergencies. More information: sheriff.santaclaracounty.gov Transit Patrol Division.
