Starting Monday night, two uniformed officers will be on board trains from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. as part of the city’s effort to make subways safer.

"Nothing is more comforting than seeing that officer walk through the train car,” said Mayor Eric Adams during a news conference.

Nearly 300 officers will patrol about 150 trains in phase one of the safety enforcement.

Commuters told News 12 this is past due.

“The trains are extremely dangerous. We need it. We need more protection,” said Christopher Wilson of Queens.

News 12 crews took to the Coney Island- Stillwell Avenue station on Jan 16.

The Coney Island station is one of the stations that saw subway crimes. Just last month, Debrina Kawam was burned to death while she was sleeping on a train car.

“If I go to sleep or something like that. Coming from an overnight job and things like that. Now you're going to have to stay awake and be alert and watch everything,” said King Kimzee of Coney Island.

Commuters tell News 12 that the additional police presence will make them feel at ease while riding the subway.

“That's the best course of action because now I just feel safer,” said Cannon Edwards of Coney Island.

These safety measures will cost $154 million. NYC and New York state will split the cost in half. And along with added officers in train cars, subways will install protective barriers to platforms and LED lights to stations.
