N.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul plans to allocate $77 million to have a police officer stationed on every subway overnight, sources say.

New York City’s subway system is about to see more police on its platforms and train cars as Governor Kathy Hochul ramps up security following recent violent attacks that have shaken riders.

In a statement, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Hochul’s plan will allow for two officers to ride every overnight train. But she said more needs to be done to deal with the ongoing issue of repeat offenders who commit a disproportionate number of crimes in the subways, which she called the “root of the issue.”

First lady Jill Biden expressed her disappointment with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a new interview with The Washington Post, providing rare public comments about the fractured relationship between her husband, Joe Biden, and Pelosi following the president’s departure from the 2024 race.

At her State of the State address, Gov. Hochul gave a brief outline of the proposed six-month initiative that would ramp up patrols between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
