Is that what that was about? A gang initiation ritual?? Jeez.What about the other day at the Avonmore stop…..didn't some Native kid push someone onto the tracks? Is that still a “Red Code” or whatever initiative for getting into their club?
This is what I’ve been saying too. European style, guard with a rifle at every station. It would solve the crime at transit stations instantly. I’d love to take my two year old on a train ride but I just can’t risk it.At this point, how are armed guards at every station not a thing?
150k a year each, say you need 3 shifts a day per station, or 90 officers a day. 200 in the rotation enough then?
30mil. At this point, is the cost of cleaning, vandalism, healthcare, other security, etc not already crazy high?
You don’t even need to charge/process, etc. Just protect, intimidate, and keep out.
Same as encampments. I get it’s not a long term fix. But protect our most important areas.
Call in the freakin military and toss 2 soldiers at every station until we don’t see a violent attack for a year.
Why don’t we try it and find out? God knows everything else up to this point has failed. I was walking to breakfast last week. I walked along the new churchill station out side. Some one guy smoking crack inside our new connector and another guy smoking crack in one of the new out door shelter spaces. A guy with a rifle to move people along would work better than whatever the hell it is we are doing nowArmed guards are not going to do a whole bunch to move the needle.
Fare gates, EPS patrols, zero tolerance paired with a 'take ETS' promotional campaign to inject more normalized use, more eyes on the street and more overall use at all times of the day.
Yup. Same here. My two little boys want to go on a train ride but my wife and I have no desire to run into something while we do go.This is what I’ve been saying too.

If he's just a random security guard, he might not make much of an impact, but as he said, throw in actual police officers or the bloody military, and I BET these mother%$^ers would steer clear. Do that while you implement other stuff (like the fare gates, etc, and start GRADUALLY easing on that as just having regular patrols.Armed guards are not going to do a whole bunch to move the needle.
