The $77 million initiative will fund six months of overtime for more than 1,000 officers, including 300 cops on overnight subway patrols and 750 in stations and on platforms.

In a statement, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Hochul’s plan will allow for two officers to ride every overnight train. But she said more needs to be done to deal with the ongoing issue of repeat offenders who commit a disproportionate number of crimes in the subways, which she called the “root of the issue.”

New York City Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Thursday that she is deploying more police officers to the New York City subway system.
