MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber rode the subway to promote the NYPD's overnight patrol initiative, which has reportedly led to a significant reduction in crime. Since January, the deployment of two officers on every train between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. has made riders feel safer during less populated hours. Lieber noted a 15.1% decrease in transit crime in February 2025 compared to 2024, crediting this success to the increased police presence both on trains and at key locations like platforms and turnstiles.
Lieber emphasized, "Having two cops on every train right through the night is a game changer... it's the moment when there are going to be cops on every train."
NYPD statistics show a 15.1% decrease in transit crime comparing February 2025 to 2024, attributed to increased police presence.
