Following a rise in crime on the state’s subway train program, including an alleged set-up of a person on fire and burning her dead, the volunteer violence prevention patrol group The Guardian Angels has announced that it will start patrolling subway trains in New York City.
The creator of the organization, Curtis Sliwa, announced the program for the Guardian Angels to guard the New York City subway system, explaining that the Guardian Angels did begin enlarging the scope of its activities, according to The New York Post.
” We’re going to have to improve our numbers, increase the teaching, and improve our existence as we did back in 1979″, Sliwa said.
” We went from 13 to 1, 000]members ] back then within a period of a year”, Sliwa added. ” Because the need was it. The need is present when more. We’re going to step up. We’re going to make sure we have a physical appearance just like we had in the ‘ 70s,’ 80s and ‘ 90s”.
The Guardian Angels are reportedly working to notify the New York Police Department of any situations, conduct wellness checks for emotionally disturbed and poor people on subway trains, and provide water to those who are unemployed.

According to The New York Post,” We’re covering the actual trains from front to back, walking through the carriages and making sure that everything is okay.” ” We’re doing this regularly now. Starting now. Because the streetcars are out of control, that will be our main focus.
Sliwa explained in a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, that the Guardian Angels you “help bring the condition to the attention of policemen” and have a” calming effect.”
” We train”, Sliwa said. We do exactly this,””. We are aware of how to do it.
Sliwa stated that the Guardian Angels will assist in “keeping purchase” on the train trains so that “nobody gets hurt, including the psychologically disturbed people or the poor man.”

The Guardian Angels now have 150 people in New York City, according to the store, and will begin by patrolling the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue train stop.
