About Us
VIA Transit Police is dedicated to serving the traveling public by working with our community, customers, and law enforcement partners to create a safe environment throughout VIA’s service area. VIA Transit Police officers maintain a presence at VIA facilities, offices, transit centers, shelters and stops, and the routes where VIA operates. Officers conduct pro-active checks of buses, transit facilities, bus routes, and respond to calls for security as needed.
VIA’s Bicycle Patrol travels the Downtown San Antonio area to monitor activity at and around bus stops and shelters. A Problem Oriented Policing team monitors areas outside of Downtown, in which there may be security concerns at bus stops and shelters.
VIA participates in the “See Something, Say Something” safety awareness campaign, designed to encourage agency employees and members of the public to be aware of their surroundings and to report suspicious activity to proper law enforcement personnel. Partnering with VIA in this campaign are the emergency management offices of San Antonio and Bexar County and the members of City Year of San Antonio.
