New Technology to Enhance Subway Safety in NYC

In a bid to enhance safety on the New York City subway system, Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD have announced the pilot of a new electromagnetic technology designed to detect guns on subways. This innovative technology is set to revolutionize the way law enforcement tackles gun violence in the city.

The new technology, which has a 90-day waiting period before implementation, is expected to significantly reduce the number of guns on the subway. According to the NYPD, police have already seized 450 weapons on the New York City Transit system as of March 24 this year.

During the 90-day waiting period, the NYPD will identify companies that can provide this technology throughout the city. This move is expected to not only enhance safety on the subways but also create new opportunities for businesses in the city.
