Gulotta , a 32-year NYPD veteran who had been serving as borough commander on Staten Island, was named head of the bureau overseeing the city’s subway system Wednesday night by Commissioner Thomas Donlon.
“Chief Gulotta brings the experience and knowledge needed to lead our transit team and continue to drive crime down,”“Chief Gulotta is superbly qualified to lead officers responsible for safety of New Yorkers on the subway and buses,” said Lieber. “We are confident he will sustain the significant decline in subway crime achieved by his predecessor that’s led to a double digit drop in serious felonies since before the pandemic.”with overseeing a drop in crime on The Rock.
According to NYPD statistics, crime in the transit system is down 6.4% year-to-date compared to the same point last year.
