New York City is revising its single NYPD patrol plan for the subway system following an attack on an officer deployed as part of the initiative that just rolled out this week, police officials confirmed Wednesday. Mayor Eric Adams had announced the rollout just a day ago, saying he conducted solo transit patrols himself during his days with the NYPD. Single patrols, which the Democrat said began Monday night, are deployed to stations on a need basis. Officials say the idea is that more cops patrolling the transit system will help lower crime. The modified plan will still continue "the solo patrol concept by spreading officers out on posts," a spokesperson said, but the two officers will stay within each other's sight. "This will increase visibility of police officers looking out for the riding public while at the same time looking out for each other," the NYPD statement said.

"The incident involving the officer who was assaulted is a reminder that there are individuals who have no respect for the law or those who enforce it," it continued. "A police officer should be able to instruct someone not to smoke on a subway platform without that resulting in a serious altercation. This will not be tolerated which is why we have steadily increased uniformed presence in the transit system." Adams said on Tuesday that he supported having the solo patrols "stay in eyesight of each other," insisting that it shows he's willing to adjust. "Nothing is worse than a person so rigid they won't see how to build a better mousetrap," Adams said. Detectives Endowment Association President Paul DiGiacomo said that he told the mayor "at this time in our history its very dangerous for cops to be in an altercation when you dont know if help is at that next stop." Subway crime is up 54% year over year and 39% in the last month, police statistics show -- and a number of high-profile accidents in recent weeks have added further fodder to questions over whether resources are adequate.

Now their criminals are going to be able to carry concealed weapons. RIP NYC.
Criminals are going to be carrying guns regardless.

Thats such an officer safety risk to begin with Jfc. Overtime gigs here are required with a partner. Every call you go on, you get assigned a back. Going solo is where the shit always goes wrong
