Bay Area Rapid Transit Receives $1.7 Million Federal Grant for Police Patrols
The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) has secured $1.7 million in grant money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for continued police patrols.
“These funds are essential to our efforts to boost riders’ sense of security and prevent crime from occurring in our system,” said BART General Manager Bob Powers. “The grant money allows us to sustain the deployment of our Critical Asset Patrol (CAP) team for an additional year, while we continue to hire new officers to fill the 19 added positions prioritized in this year’s budget.”
