The Amtrak Police Department (APD) is a federal railroad police department of Amtrak (also known as the National Railroad Passenger Corporation), the government-owned passenger train system in the United States.[1] It is headquartered at Union Station in Washington, D.C., and as of 2023 has a force of 431 sworn police officers,[2] most of whom are stationed within the Northeast Corridor, Amtrak's busiest route.[3]

The APD has primary jurisdiction over Amtrak stations nationwide, trains, rights-of-way, maintenance facilities, and crimes committed against Amtrak, its employees, or its passengers. The APD is one of six American Class I railroad law enforcement agencies, alongside those of BNSF, CPKC, CSX, Norfolk Southern, and Union Pacific.

Since 1979, most Amtrak police officers have been trained at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC)[4][5] although some recruits may be certified through a local police academy.
