New York City’s subway system is about to see more police on its platforms and train cars as Governor Kathy Hochul ramps up security following recent violent attacks that have shaken riders.
The governor will work with Mayor Eric Adams to create a police presence on every overnight subway train during the next six months, an initiative that will be funded from the state’s coffers, Hochul announced Tuesday during her annual State of the State speech in Albany. She didn’t cite a cost of the effort.
