Nope, he is WILPOL... GRRR

He is a private contractor who works for Wilson Security,(Check out the badge on the shoulder, no reef means no arrest powers. Big clue is it will say "Transperth Security" or “Revenue Protection” not “Public Transport Authority Transit Officer”) just like Chubb/MSS he has power to write tickets... and thats it.

And citizen’s arrest is all he can perform, even then he will call Transit of Police to collect his offender and then, only if there’s evidence and witnesses. Transit of Police will get lumped with the transport to watch house (if required) and doing the brief.

They have a hard job, true. However they are just bus bouncers

C'mon guys it seems like we're all on the same team so lets not get too emotional and petty about certain things.

I can back that up, your not looked after and it's only half hearted law enforcement.

If you want to do Policing you'd be far better off with WAPol, AFP or NT Police (the later if you want good coin)!!!

Main Roads will be advertising for Transport Inspectors next month... good coin there too

Yep, but allot of travel each month.

Not a bad job if you don't mind being away from home a fair bit.
