Okay, way back in the days of the black patch pre-merge New York City Transit Police Department, the three Police Districts that were located in Manhattan all had this special in-house detail, named Good Morning America. It was basically a detail of cops, usually senior men, who's sole purpose was to wake up and roust all of the skells who was sleeping on the benches, on the subway cause, and in the passageways or any other place where they were in the way of the paying riding public for rush hour. From what I heard it was an easy gig, you woke them up and either they got on the next train out of the station to Parts Unknown, or they went upstairs and it became someone else's problem, or if they wanted to go to the shelter, the New York City Transit Police Department had its own homeless Outreach unit which had vans with coffee and donuts in them and they drove the skells to the shelter. When rush hour ended, the cops just had to write out a few TAB summonses and that was it. The whole system worked wonderfully until the merge of 1995. Remember, we don't live in Calcutta, we don't want to see and smell and hear the rantings and ravings of skells. Anyway, a program like that needs to come back again. |
