Police deployment on CTA lags way behind other cities – CBS2 (Chicago)

According to the city's Office of the Inspector General, 41 Chicago police officers make up the Transit Security Unit. Houston – which has fewer people than Chicago and has a much smaller public transit system – there are more than six times as many METRO officers as there are Transit Security Unit officers in Chicago.

Folks, nobody wants to be the Chicago Police anymore except people who have no business wearing the blue.

When it comes to the El, you’re on your own. If you need some self help read Bernie Goetz’s book “NYC Guide for Straphangers.”
