After a few incidents during security guards proved unable to deal with certain situations due to the limit of their power, the New South Wales government decided to introduce transit officers in 2002 with a status that was greater then a security guard but unlike policemen, did not carry the right to bear arms and limited its power of arrest.

  • After a few incidents during security guards proved unable to deal with certain situations due to the limit of their power, the New South Wales government decided to introduce transit officers in 2002 with a status that was greater then a security guard but unlike policemen, did not carry the right to bear arms and limited its power of arrest. The scheme proved unpopular with commuters with complaints of overbearing officers. An attempt was made in 2008 to revamp their image but ultimately transit officers were phased out starting in 2013 with their responsibilities being split between police, security guards and regular employees.
