One solution to addressing the increase of crimes in New York City’s subway system will include the presence of personnel from the National Guard, State Police, and the Transportation Authority. The New York National Guard will provide 750 personnel while the State Police and Transportation Authority will provide 250 personnel. This is part of a larger plan which will also include 10 teams of mental health workers.<\/p>\n

From the New York Times:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“These brazen heinous attacks on our subway system will not be tolerated,” Ms. Hochul said during a news conference on Wednesday, referring to a number of recent high-profile assaults.<\/p>\n

There will be 750 members of the New York National Guard and an additional 250 personnel from the State Police and the M.T.A. They will be working with the New York Police Department to attempt to keep weapons from being brought into the subway system.<\/p>\n

“No one heading to their job or to visit family or go to a doctor appointment should worry that the person sitting next to them possesses a deadly weapon,” the governor said.<\/p>\n

The deployment is part of what Ms. Hochul described as a five-point plan, which would provide $20 million and pay for 10 teams of mental health workers who would help people on the subway. The plan would also introduce legislation that would allow judges to ban people convicted of a violent crime from riding the subways, add cameras to train conductors’ control booths and coordinate with prosecutors to track repeat offenders.<\/p>\n

In mid-2022, there was about one violent crime for every one million rides on the subway, according to a New York Times analysis, making the chances of falling victim to such a crime remote. Since then, those chances have become even more remote, as the overall crime rate in the transit system has fallen and ridership has increased.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
