The NYPD is set to deploy dozens of additional officers throughout the MTA overnight starting Monday night as part of the governor’s latest plan to address safety. Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the phased approach subway safety last week during her State of the State address.
Hundreds of NYPD officers will start patrolling overnight trains next week, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Thursday – finally detailing her much-anticipated subway safety surge. “Monday, you’ll start to see the overnight presence on the trains,” she said, wearing a windbreaker in a Grand Central Station news conference.
Over the course of the 46-minute interview on Carlson’s streaming platform, the former Fox News personality repeatedly challenged Democratic dogma — at one point saying he’s against “all immigration right now” — as the Democratic mayor at turns laughed, emphatically agreed or stayed quiet as Carlson dominated much of the talk.
NYC police officers will be stationed on the subway during overnight hours starting as early as Monday, the governor says.
Hochul’s executive proposal is $19 billion or 8.3% higher than last year’s proposal and $36 billion or 16% higher than her first plan in 2022.
State of the State address, Hochul proposed new measures to improve subway safety, including more NYPD patrols, new protective barriers, and more.

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s initiative to improve subway safety is officially underway, as the NYPD deployed 100 officers at the Metropolitan Avenue Subway Station. The first phase of the plan, which calls for two officers to be present on each overnight train, kicked off Tuesday night.
