Gov. Kathy Hochul is leaning into NYPD overtime spending for her subway safety strategy, amplifying the city’s already historic overtime spending on law enforcement. Some transit and good governance observers, however, say they are skeptical of the cost-effectiveness.

The deployment will include 300 officers deployed on every overnight train and an additional 750 on stations and platforms, the governor said.

NYC police officers will be stationed on the subway during overnight hours​ starting as early as Monday, the governor says.
