The NYPD is set to start rolling out new technology that’ll scan straphangers for firearms in subway stations amid a wave of underground violence, Mayor Eric Adams said Thursday.
Hizzoner showed off a freestanding scanner manufactured by Evolv, a weapons detection company, at the busy Fulton Transit Center in Lower Manhattan as he touted details of a soon-to-be-implemented pilot program.
“This is our Sputnik moment,” Adams said. “Like when Kennedy said we’re going to put a man on the moon … Let’s bring on the scanners.”
