Detail surrounding NSW crime can be found at: http:⁄⁄www.bocsar.nsw.gov.au⁄

The NSW Government take all offences, including bias motivated incidences, very seriously as do the NSW Police Force who investigate and prosecute when possible. Police officers of the NSW Public Transport Command spend 100% of their time on duty policing the NSW public transport system, unless exigent circumstances arise due to an emergency or disaster.

The NSW Government established the Police Transport Command to improve safety and security as well as driving down crime on the public transport network.

The Government is committed to ensuring a high profile police presence on our public transport network.
