Gardaí will participate in a special operation where they will patrol the Dart, Luas and eight intercity rail lines to prevent and detect antisocial behavior.
The second of two national Community Engagement and Rail Safety Partnership days takes place today in partnership with Irish Rail and Transdev Ireland.
The focus is on community involvement and a high level of visibility on rail networks and train stations across the country to ensure safety.
High visibility patrols will take place every day between 3pm and 11pm in the Dublin area at Connolly and Heuston stations and across the country on eight intercity routes.
Local crime prevention officers and community policing gardaí will provide crime prevention advice from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM at community engagement/crime prevention stands at a number of stations.
A Garda spokesman said the main objectives are to ensure public safety by tackling antisocial behaviour.
“To protect life and property, to engage with the public and provide advice on crime prevention, to support Irish Rail and Transdev Ireland staff in tackling these issues, to defend the human rights of every individual, to prevent criminals, bring criminals to justice, by detecting and investigating crime and improving railway safety,” the spokesperson said.
