Special Operations Unit
Some members of the Patrol Division are designated with Special Operations credentials and support Patrol operations by providing rapid response and enhanced capabilities to assist in keeping Amtrak passengers and employees safe. They are prepared at any time to deploy personnel and equipment for tactical response, to support warrant service, conduct low visibility counter-surveillance, investigations, and provide enhanced support for special events. These members also conduct training on railroad-specific tactical response and procedures for fellow Amtrak Police Department members and our external law enforcement partner agencies.
