Gov. Hochul Unveils Plan To Put Cops On Every Overnight NYC Subway

NEW YORK CITY — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has unveiled a plan to have NYPD officers posted on every overnight train in New York City for the next six months after recent incidents in the city's subway system.

The governor discussed the plan in her 2025 State of the State agenda on Tuesday in Albany.

"I want to see more uniformed police not just on the platforms, but more importantly, on every single train, overnight 9 p.m. to 5 a.m for the next six months. And the state will support these efforts financially," she said.

Also during her speech, Hochul said she would direct the MTA to install platform barriers in 100 more subway stations. Every station will be fitted with bright LED lighting by the end of the year as well.

The governor's plan comes after Mayor Eric Adams announced that the NYPD would put 200 more police officers on trains and platforms.
