Beefed up security
“If there’s going to be an area where we think there’s a particular security issue, we’ll be concentrating on that area. We don’t want to tip our hands as to where that is because that would be in our hands of the bad guys as well,” Gallagher said. “But we keep a close tab on where activity is, and where we should be targeting placement of security personnel.”
“Earlier this year, the board approved for new contracts with security firms, which allowed us to really beef up our security presence,” Gallagher said. “So we’ve been onboarding folks through the past several months, and we expect to have all of the new security personnel that passengers will be seeing that’s in trains and at stations by Memorial Day.”
“So what we heard from our passengers was a sense of feeling a little uncomfortable on our trains and in our stations. And that has, in part, something to do with the homeless who are riding our train,” Gallagher said.
