How about stop the release of criminals.

[@dannybx78]

How about take action against Adams, Bragg and Hochul? That's a better idea, don't you think?

[@kittenpawsbb]

The Police have no control of that. The Democrat DA, Judges, Mayor and Governor etc have control of that.

[@drotterton793]

Thats not the pd's fault. its the judges and da's

[@danny01678]

⁠@@dannybx78 I don’t know what you mean by action I would hope you mean voting against them in the polls, to change the government branches to actually stop crime.

[@MystikalSmoker1776]

I guess I missed the part the other replies saw that made them think you were blaming NYPD. I think I understod what you meant

Haven’t seen one inside a car in two weeks in midtown. This is all for show.

[@user-hv3em9fg2f]

Smoke 💨 and mirrors 😂❤😂

[@stellabellafontay9366]

MTA employee here and I'm saddened by these so-called "efforts" to stop crime. Cops stand around gossiping and playing on their phones in the subway system instead of stopping crime. It's like grade school recess on their clock. Soldiers are checking the bags of good, decent passengers while all the criminals carry weapons in their coats and pants pockets. 😠

[@joao-joao]

It is called "security theater". I've made the math, so to say, and they would need around 175.000 police officers in each shift to properly protect NY Subway system (trains and train stations). What crazy math? Around 20 police officers per train station, and around 4 police officers per carriage of the train. Of course my math is for real world security, not for "security theater". Of course is not possible! I'm not implying that anyone will put 175.000 police officers for that per shift. Probably much less than that would be effective IF when people are caught doing something criminally wrong, would be in prison/ jail until they are considered ok to return to society and be a useful member of it, not doing more criminal activity, like: attacking others, stealing, being on illegal drugs that make them crazy, etc. Police officers looking at their phones it seems not very professional, they need to have some additional training. Of course they may need to look at their phones for professional reasons, but I'm guessing that people are not happy with it because they don't seem to be there looking out for any wrong behavior. With so many overtime hours maybe they are tired and just want to go home rest and are there maybe even without wanting (mandatory overtime? not sure if it is the case or not).

[@KrysGrant-ey1xl]

It's true I witnessed it on Roosevelt Ave line ridiculous

[@Joeelectronicschematicsforauto]

The only l in the car trains when there is a television crew filming them otherwise they just staying outside and do absolutely nothing

[@Gravesend83]

Try reporting violent crime to them. They will gaslight you that you weren’t really hurt, and it’s no need to escalate. Then they turn around and use their data to tell the press that crime is down.

[@travelinben1966]

They used to have transit cops all over the subways,trains,platforms,etc.

[@LeeeroyJenkins]

They had thousands of more officers back then. Now everything is overtime. Paying double the normal salary because they refuse to hire more.

[@FH-jp7uk]

NYPD should go and have presence in the Bronx and Harlem MTA stations, there are a lot of fare evaders in these areas!

[@NerdsWorldNYC]

D Train #2 and #5 Train

[@derrickbaker759]

To be honest I'm from the Bx and right now live in Queens 7train line.Queens has more fare beaters because everyone thinks Queens is safe and Quiet....I know that's a lie 🤦🏿‍♂️🎯

More than that, go back to broken windows

[@CropOverman]

Yeah right. They’ll just keep them at Grand Central

[@NerdsWorldNYC]

Let's see if they ride the D train in The Bronx.☕

[@LeeeroyJenkins]

@@NerdsWorldNYCAfter working a 12 hour shift I don’t think it’s safe for them to work 6 more hours riding the D train 💀. Some bum will steal their gun while they try to stay awake.

[@joeherrera8826]

It does not matter how many officers you put when you got a guy who almost killed his girl friend being release twice for attempted murder.

[@pacmantravel2158]

I remember the good ole days when they were never cops on the subway trains. Everybody were happy and chatting with each other, like you would see on the Metro-North commuter train.

[@FirstLast-kj7vf]

I don't think people truly understand how much politics play a role. Bail reform and this migrant crisis are really killing the city right now.

[@pacmantravel2158]

@@FirstLast-kj7vfBut in my old glory days, the NYC subway was exciting to ride. What happened in the 30 year zone?? If something is running successfully, wtf got in the way to ruin it? I understand the Bronx and Brooklyn were always rough and spilled out into Manhattan, but every effing day now?

....Hitler said the same thing .....then when he did it, he quadrupled the number of troops and began demanding papers from citizens for travel.....

[@nycdrake7410]

They make sht so difficult.. worried about the fairs and having the national guard for intimidation, just have at lest 2 cops on each train so when things happen they are there to respond..they are playing political games and are more worried about tickets and summons

[@yagga8885]

The national guard installation was stupid! Have not seen a single one. Plus they don’t get on trains and platforms which is where the incidents are happening

[@xoxxobob61]

There was a live Vlogger at the Times Square station last weekend and he couldn't find one National Guardsman anywhere.

[@RA-hb9jw]

Good effort, subway is not safe at all kids carry knives, homeless, fighting and a lot of violence inside cars. Riding NYC subway is a bad experience.

When you see the white shirts its a photo op and the police need to be on the trains and the national guard on the platform's.

Put some in plain clothes to catch ppl who might intend to do something wrong but might wait till they dont see uniformed police. The sight of police in uniform only really helps protect that immediate area while their there and when they walk off it would hurt to have a bunch of cops dress in regular clothes cuz afterba while it will really make ppl think twice about doing wrong whether they see police or not cuz they wont be sure
