Daily News | Brooklyn subway shooting put SEPTA and other transit agencies on high alert
In its wake, SEPTA officials sought to reassure the public they are doing everything they can, including with the extensive deployment of closed-circuit television cameras.
Images flow to SEPTA’s network-wide control center as well as to several transit police command centers, Busch said. Officers spot-check what’s going on, toggling between viewpoints, and can also focus on known trouble areas, he said. If there’s an incident, officers can quickly punch up the scene in real time.
Video from cameras aboard transit vehicles is not live but images can quickly be transmitted back to headquarters and distributed to law enforcement. When there’s a serious crime aboard a bus, train, or trolley, it’s taken out of service as soon as the operator can stop safely, per policy.
