"Gov. Hochul Deploys National Guard and State Police for Subway Security"

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the deployment of 1,000 state cops and National Guardsmen to patrol NYC’s subway system in response to a surge in underground violence. The additional forces, consisting of 750 guardsmen and 250 law enforcement officers, will work alongside the NYPD to conduct bag checks at the city’s busiest transit stations. Hochul also outlined a five-point plan to crack down on subway crime, including introducing a new law to ban violent transit assault convicts from riding the subway or bus system and implementing an early warning system for repeat offenders.
