Of particular interest the Public Transport Command ... which has an authorised strength in August 2014 of 521 but only 405 officers available ... 78%. I know some may think I am bagging the PTC but if you are a rail user you want TO SEE the Police to be patrolling trains and stations. I would love to see more Police. They were out in force last weekend for the "Sydney Derby" (Soccer) but it needs to be 24x7
