WARRANDYTE MP Ryan Smith meets some of the protective service officers who started patrolling Ringwood and Lilydale stations from last Tuesday night. The PSOs patrol from 6pm until after the last train.
Transit safety division acting superintendent Philip Green said there were now 143 PSOs working at 18 stations across metropolitan Melbourne.
The deployment of PSOs is based on a number of factors such as how busy the station is and the amount of reported crime and antisocial behaviour.
