A NEW ADDITION TO THE RAIL RUNNER STARTS TODAY (MON). YOU'LL NOTICE SECURITY GUARDS ON TRAINS, ON PLATFORMS, AND IN THE PARKING LOT. SPOKESPERSON AUGUSTA MEYERS SAYS IF PASSENGERS LIKE IT, THE GUARDS WILL PROBABLY BECOME PERMANENT. BUT SHE SAYS THE OPTION OF HIRING MORE GUARDS HASN'T REALLY BEEN ADDRESSED. SHE SAYS THEY COULD STAY WITH THE NINE OFFICERS THEY CURRENTLY HAVE IF IT WORKS.
MEYERS SAYS THE SECURITY GUARDS CAN'T MAKE ARRESTS. THEY'LL HAVE TO CALL IN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO DO THAT.
