The CVUR Police Department or the Central Valley Union Railroad Police Department (CVURPD) is a private railroad police department and the law enforcement agency of the Central Valley Union Railroad, headquartered in Delano, California. The CVURPD is Class III railroad law enforcement agency.

Jurisdiction
CVUR maintains a functioning police department staffed with officers given the title of Special Agent with jurisdiction over crimes against the railroad. Like most railroad police, its primary jurisdiction is unconventional, consisting of track in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Railroad police are certified state law enforcement officers, authorized under federal law, to operate in the State of California that allows railroad police authority under state law.

CVUR Special Agents may have investigative and arrest powers both on and off railroad property if authorized by the state. They carry interstate authority as provided by federal law, allowing railroad police to conduct law enforcement activities in other states the railroads operate in.

Special Agents typically investigate major incidents such as derailments, sabotage, grade crossing accidents and hazardous material accidents and minor issues such as trespassing on the railroad right of way, vandalism/graffiti, and theft of company property or customer product.

Special Agents often coordinate and liaise with local, state, and federal law enforcement on issues concerning the railroad and are dispatched through CVUR Headquarters in Delano, California.
