The pilot program was introduced on Thursday by Mayor Eric Adams (D-N.Y.) as part of the city’s latest effort to crack down on violent crime underground.

The scanners will be placed in certain stations along the five boroughs after it clears a legally mandated 90-day waiting period.

Adams says officials will work to identify companies with the best expertise in gun detection technology.

The pilot program comes in response to the recent wave of deadly shootings and attacks inside the city’s subway stations. So far in 2024, NYPD has seized 450 weapons in the subway.
