East vs. West Coast Police Agencies?
Why does the east coast have all these different positions like Port Authority, Bridge Police, Water/Sewage Police...you know what I mean. And everyone has to have their own car, like the bus station police have cars. Why?
And then we have the west coast that only usually has one major police position, and then they have city workers, not police, to enforce the other stuff.
I've always wondered that.

You've always wondered that? Huh? If anything, I would say it might be the other way around.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. In my daily life I may (or may not) come in contact with the Alameda Police Department, Alameda County Sheriff's Office, San Francisco Police Department, Oakland Police Department, AC Transit Police Services (Alameda County Sheriff's Office,) California Highway Patrol, University of California Police Department, San Francisco Park Rangers, San Francisco Muni fare inspectors, National Park Police, Bay Area Rapid Transit District Police, East Bay Regional Parks District Police, and more...

The west coast has many police agencies as well. For example, in Los Angeles, there is the LA Airport Police, the LA Harbor Police, the UCLA police, the Los Angeles General Services Police, and so on.

Politics my dear Watson!
Thats the way the Board of Commisioners is run in the west coast. A big city like LA sets the standards and every smaller city just copies them. Then today, all the cities already have Charters/Constitutions/whatever that dictate how the city will run and who it will be run by.
