The Juvenile Crime Prevention Team consists of four sworn officers from the North, South, East and Central Precincts. The purpose of the J.C.P.T. along with the Truancy and Gang Resistance Education and Training Program (G.R.E.A.T.) is to curtail the local juvenile crime rate. The officers assigned to J.C.P.T. /G.R.E.A.T. are primarily responsible for the safety and security of the students using the MARTA system. All officers meet with parents, school officials, administrators and juvenile justice officials to resolve issues that arise concerning disruptive or uncooperative students from the Metro area.  

The Motor Unit was established in 2004 and supports the operations of the MARTA Police Department.  In addition to assisting the department in calls for service and patrolling the bus routes, the Motor Unit also enforces traffic laws, provides funeral escorts, and ensures the expeditious flow of traffic during large-scale special events at MARTA. 

The Crime Scene Unit (CSU) is responsible for investigating and processing crime scenes.  MPD’s crime scene investigators take photographs of the scene, dust for fingerprints, and collect forensic evidence, including DNA.  They are also responsible for cataloging and storing all the property and evidence they collect. 

The MARTA Police Criminal Investigations Unit is comprised of a unit commander and five detectives who investigate all felonies and misdemeanor criminal incidents that occur within MARTA’s jurisdiction.  Such incidents include crimes against persons, property crimes and financial crimes.  They conduct criminal investigations, interview witnesses, and testify in court.  Additionally, detectives are responsible for the processing of crime scenes and the collection of evidence. Each detective receives extensive training in various areas and aspects of criminal investigations which includes homicide investigation, sexual assault investigation, cybercrime investigation, financial fraud investigation, and crime scene investigation.   

If you have information pertaining to an unsolved crime that occurred on MARTA or within its jurisdiction and wish to speak with a MARTA Police Detective, please call 404-848-4900.
