MTA Eyes Surveillance Cameras On All Subway Cars

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Imagine a tomorrow when designated officers are watching every move on every subway car through surveillance cameras and a computer tablet.

As CBS 2?s Emily Smith reported, that could become reality in New York City.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says it’s “studying the possibility of installing surveillance cameras in future subway car models. They could potentially improve safety and security for our customers, but creating real-time monitoring capabilities would be a difficult technical challenge.”

Manny Gomez, a former FBI agent and president of MG Security Systems, said it would cost tens of millions of dollars to install the right cameras in all 6,000 cars. He, however, said it would be worthwhile.
