Metrolink Matters At Metrolink, we are committed to making every train ride a safe one and we are focused on doing all that we can to keep our transit system safe for all of our customers. Through a multi-layered approach our passengers, employees, contract security, train crews, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and local law enforcement work collaboratively on ensuring security system-wide. Security is everyone’s business!
If you see or hear suspicious behavior on the transit system – we ask that you report the activity to Metrolink staff, security personnel, train crew, or Law Enforcement. If you do not see a representative – please contact Metrolink’s Security Operations Center (866) 640-5190 and report your observations, or use our SMS service and text us at (800) 371-5465 (LINK). If you observe violent behavior or other criminal or threatening acts that could endanger life and property – please dial 911.
We ask for your help in identifying and reporting such behaviors, including the following:
Suspicious appearance
- A person or persons wearing clothes unsuitable for the time of year
- Anything protruding in an unusual manner underneath a person’s clothing
- A person trying to blend in with surroundings, even though he or she appears out of place
