Project Description
Funding provides for directed patrols on overtime (surge) activity by CPD SWAT Transit Operational Response with Canine and Heavy Weapons (TORCH) Teams. This project intends to supplement the current surge project which is only activated for selected holidays, significant dates and events and will provide a transit anti-terrorism protection measure on summer weekend rush hours that are still marked by an increase of passenger volume in the downtown business district, creating a heightened risk of terrorist exploitation.
