The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County in Texas recently established a new Metro Police Department substation near the Magnolia Park Transit Center, with the goal of enhancing law enforcement along the transit corridor and improving response times.

Located at the eastern end of the METRORail Green Line, the station will be open 24/7, officials from the Houston-area transit agency said in a press release. Officers assigned to the facility will maintain a visible patrol presence along the corridor with a focus on rapid response.

The facility will be available for use by partner law enforcement agencies, supporting broader collaboration in the region. Additionally, riders and residents can report crimes or suspicious activity at the station.

“Safety continues to guide our decisions, and this investment reflects that ongoing commitment. We will be more visible, more integrated into the community and work every day alongside our community partners to support the safety of our riders and the neighborhoods we serve,” said Metro Chair Elizabeth Gonzalez Brock.
