The Transit Police Department has successfully employed a strategy/philosophy of
"Point of Entry Policing". We believe by enforcing lesser crimes (at our points of entry) such as fare evasion, loitering and smoking we will deter the more serious crimes from occurring within the MBTA system. Oftentimes, those individuals who commit the above referenced crimes and are encountered by our officers are wanted for more serious crimes. The ultimate goal is to maintain a secure and safe transportation system for all to benefit from.
On June 9, 2014 at approximately 2PM a Transit Police officer working in Area 1 was patrolling the MBTA's State Street station. While there the officer's attention was drawn to several individuals who were drinking and loitering by the elevators near the entrance. The officer approached the group and a subsequent investigation revealed that two individuals of the group were wanted.
Krystan McKenzie 29 of Malden had a warrant in existence for her arrest issued from Malden District Court for Disorderly Conduct and
Lori Nicolazzo 34 of Boston had a warrant in existence for her arrest issued from Boston Municipal Court-Central Division for Trespassing. Both subjects were placed into custody and transported to Transit Police HQ for the arrest booking process.
