New York City's subway security is strengthened...a police officer on a late-night train

New York City has decided to deploy police to every train running late at night, when there is a high risk of crime, to prevent 24-hour subway crimes.

"We will work with New York City for six months to increase police patrol personnel on subway station platforms and trains, and add patrol personnel to all trains from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.," New York Gov. Kathy Hockall said.

Gov. Hockel also said he would install safety fences in 100 stations to prevent subway track crashes, enhance lighting in the stations, and push for modernizing turnstiles to prevent free rides.

It is believed that such measures have been taken as civil unrest has grown due to a series of serious crimes in New York City's subway, such as pushing a man waiting for a train to the track or lighting a woman's body in a train.

New York State and New York City have been criticized for increasing police presence in subway stations and even mobilizing the National Guard to strengthen checkups to ensure public transport safety, but for not doing much to prevent crime.
