"The western German state North Rhine-Westphalia is proposing a new package of measures and is calling on the federal government to strengthen safety on trains ahead of a Deutsche Bahn security summit in Berlin. The state, Germany's most populous, wants to expand the use of two-person teams among train conductors. It is also urging the national government to provide legal clarity for the wearing of body cameras on public transport, which is currently voluntary."
"North Rhine-Westphalia is also calling for upgraded technology to alert authorities and track suspects, more effective use of video surveillance, and an expanded deployment of security teams to protect passengers and rail staff. The push follows an attack on a Deutsche Bahn conductor during a ticket inspection in Rhineland-Palatinate in early February. The 36-year-old died two days later from severe injuries."
