On March 12, 2016, under Chief Greens leadership, the Transit Police Department implemented a new patrol plan. We are confident the new plan will provide for a safer system, more efficient police services and a visible presence of uniformed officers were they are needed most. Our riding public demands, expects and most importantly deserves that. The men and women of the TPD are committed to providing the safest system as possible and are steadfastly dedicated to our mission of safeguarding the MBTA. 
As a direct result of the new plan and a calculated deployment of resources Transit Police officers removed two firearms from individuals who were traveling on or attempting to travel on the MBTA on 03/16/2016.

Statement from TPD Superintendent Sullivan re Facebook posting
Statement from TPD Superintendent Sullivan re Facebook posting
TPD Statement by Supt. Richard Sullivan:
Upon learning of an incident regarding an interaction between Transit Police officers and a group of young people that was posted and widely distributed on social media we took immediate steps to ascertain what transpired. Thus far I have reviewed public safety cameras, audio tapes and spoke with MBTA employees as well as the MBTA passenger who raised the matter. My preliminary findings suggest our officers conducted themselves in a calm and professional demeanor. We take great pride in the men and women of the Transit Police Department. The cornerstone of our philosophy is Community Policing in the truest, purest sense of the word. Our officers are trained to diffuse situations not exacerbate them.
Again, my preliminary findings suggest TPD officers requested a disorderly group of young people exit from the train with the understanding and explicit directions they would be allowed to board the next southbound train. The group of young people agreed to this solution/outcome and disembarked without further incident. There was another young male, who was seated in close proximity to the group, who was also asked to exit the train. Once off of the train, this male explained he was NOT with and/or associated with the group. This was confirmed by the larger group as well as an independent passenger. At this point the young male was allowed back on the train and continued about his business.
TPD has also communicated with the young males mother. We are continuing to look into this matter and are committed to serving our riding public with the utmost dignity and respect.
