As a matter of fact, the answer is YES. Sure, there are all the mundane happenings like with any police department, however, they also have their share of major crime responses. Drunken fights, muggings, cuttings/stabbings, an occasional murder, along with all the mayhem that occurs in PG and DC near or on Metro property are often heard. The subway system seems to be the latest escape route for all the thugs in the area - whether chased on foot or after a vehicle bailout. (We won't mention the wisdom of doing that but no one claimed the mooks are always playing with a full deck.) This police force is very often heard working with the county or metro PD guys. They are certainly much busier than the local city police forces out in the counties.
