In February, NYC Mayor Eric Adams introduced comprehensive investments in short- and medium-term solutions to target Subway crimes, including expanded outreach teams with New York Police Department (NYPD) officers and clinicians, additional housing and mental health resources, and long-term systems improvements through changes to state and federal laws to connect more New Yorkers to the care they need.
A key component of the plan also directed NYPD personnel to assist in enforcing certain subway rules, such as sleeping across multiple seats, exhibiting aggressive behavior to passengers, or creating an unsanitary environment.
Despite Adams’ plan to ensure safety at Subway stations, the crimes are not showing trends of a decline.
