What a waste of resources. An in-house Metro police department can't come soon enough. We need security and cops that care about the system and don't think that patrolling platforms, buses and trains is beneath them.

Tbf, I don't really check on people who are slumped over or laying on the ground. I usually just assume they're sleeping.
That said, I do agree that there should be more law enforcement presence on public transit. Has Metro ever had its own police department?
