NEW YORK CITY - Following a series of violent and deadly incidents in the New York City subway system, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Wednesday that she is set to deploy National Guard soldiers and State Police officers to stations, where they will patrol platforms and help check bags.
Concretely, 1,000 members of the State Police, the National guard and the transportation authority will form part of this new initiative, The New York Times reported. The officers will guard the subways, joining New York City Mayor Eric Adams' NYPD officers, who are often roaming around stations and checking subway cars.
