Freight railroad traffic through the city is handled by BNSF Railway on its right-of-way in the southwest portion of the city.

The city also employs a civilian Public Safety team to support the LASD. Public Safety Officers are unarmed and do not have arrest powers. They carry out ancillary duties such as issuing animal/bicycle licenses, fingerprinting, and writing reports on non-hazardous matters (e.g., forgery, vandalism). They are also charged with enforcing parking and municipal codes. Funding for construction of Station 194 was shared equally by the fire department and the city of La Habra, which benefits at having a fourth engine company in its city limits at no further expense after the station opened.
