DART officially has new armed security guards riding on its trains in an effort to cut down on rising crime on its trains and at its stations.

This comes as FOX 4 has highlighted safety concerns, including a passenger being pistol-whipped last month.It’s made some riders feel insecure on the train.FOX 4 also recentlyFOX 4 viewer helps identify woman as DART ‘pistol-whipping’ suspect
DART hopes the addition of more than 100 armed security officers, who will be in light blue shirts, will ease concerns. [ATTORNEY: "For the taxpayers out there, if crime doesn’t improve, if they don’t start to feel safe after seeing these security officers on the train, what happens next?"]DART said it will evaluate the plan and will decide whether to extend the contract, but Shattles said they are confident these security guards will improve the riding experience.
