It's definitely one of our highlights, but not our first time nabbing someone wanted Canada-Wide for murder. :) Exhibit A:

At Transit Police, some of our most accomplished police officers are women, including Chief Officer Suzanne Muir. This #NationalPoliceWomanDay, we celebrate the women who demonstrate leadership, courage, intelligence and compassion as they help keep transit safe for everyone.

Today we welcomed two experienced police officers to Transit Police. Together they bring 50+ years of policing experience that will help guide our department as we grow to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding transit system.

Dogs in Hot Cars - Alberta SPCA Vehicles become very hot in a short period of time. Your dog should never be left in the vehicle, even on moderately warm days. Pets can suffer heatstroke in minutes.

Remember, if the outside temperature is 21Β°C, the temperature in a parked car can rise to 40Β°C in just half an hour.
Note – source for that last stat: www.albertaspca.org/animal-prote...

The owner was left in the care of New West Animal Service who issued a fine as well as an order to take the dog to the veterinarian for an assessment. We are hoping that this incident was just a momentary lapse in judgement from a loving dog owner that won’t be repeated.

It was in obvious medical distress. Sgt. McGuinness put his canine first aid training to use and contacted New Westminster Animal Services for help. When the owner finally arrived on scene, they were shocked at what had taken place and said how much they loved their dog and didn’t mean to hurt them.

Luckily, Sergeant Gord McGuinness, the head of the Transit Police K9 Unit, happened to be driving by and the concerned individual was able to flag him down. After failing to get a hold of the vehicle’s owner, Sgt. McGuiness was able to open the vehicle door and get to the dog.

Last weekend, a passerby noticed a dog locked in a vehicle that was parked in New Westminster. It was 22Β°C, but with the car in direct sunlight, the temperature inside was much higher. The dog was in obvious distress.

I can't speak for Transit Security's responsibilities, budget etc. They're employees of Coast Mountain Bus Company and not police. But, if you'd like to know more about our police department, our Strategic Plan and relevant reports is probably a good place to start: transitpolice.ca/news/strateg...

Hi there - while Transit Police officers do enforce fares, most of our focus is on our operational priorities of reducing workplace assaults on transit staff, reducing sexual offences, investigating crimes, etc. The article you have linked to is about Transit Security, not police.

Driver thought he’d made a clean getaway from a roadblock back in May. But he ran into the Transit Police Enforcement Team at Scott Road Station yesterday with several violations, including open alcohol & cannabis and having no insurance, to add to the ones from May. $2,531 in fines & vehicle towed.
