Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a plan to post an NYPD officer on every overnight subway train for six months to combat rising transit violence.
Hochul's initiative included plans for more police presence on platforms and increased subway safety measures, reflecting a response to recent violent incidents.
Despite stating subway safety had increased, Hochul's announcement follows a tragic incident highlighting ongoing safety concerns, indicating a complex approach to public security.
The state will financially support the deployment of police in subways and aims to improve infrastructure with better lighting and platform barriers.
