Others, such as the John Wayne Airport in California, contacts with local law enforcement agencies for police services (John Wayne contracts with the Orange County Sheriff's Department).

Transit Police Departments - Like airport authorities, transit authorities also field police departments to protect transit facilities and transit commuters. Sworn members are also fully trained police officers with the same powers as that of a city police officer or county deputy sheriff. Some transit authorities have their own police departments, such as the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority. Others, such as the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority, contracts with local law enforcement agencies for service (LA County MTA contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department).
