Every subway train in NYC will have two uniformed police officers on board between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. daily, Gov. Kathy Hochul said during her State of the State address on Tuesday — adding that other major safety measures are coming to the city’s transit system this year.
The governor said she is working with the NYPD to increase patrol on platforms and trains. Including the police presence on every in-service, overnight train, approximately 750 NYPD officers will be stationed across NYC, with an additional 300 in the train cars themselves.
