New York Governor Kathy Hochul is taking steps to bolster security in the city's subway system.

Deployment of 750 National Guard members will assist in bag searches for weapons on the subway.

The action is a response to recent high-profile crimes on city trains, including fatal incidents.

Hochul's safety plan includes installing more cameras, proposing bans for convicted subway assailants, and enhancing mental health support.

The measures aim to deter crime and support the NYPD's increased presence in the subway system.

The governor's initiative faces criticism but is driven by rising public safety concerns.
