Police bolster patrols at Minneapolis-St. Paul airport light-rail stations

The action comes after complaints from employees and passengers about safety

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and Metro Transit police are beefing up patrols to combat crime and harassment at the airport's light-rail stations after fielding complaints from employees and passengers for months.

Under a mutual aid pact struck between the two departments earlier this month, two airport police officers will patrol the Blue Line trains and stations at Terminals 1 and 2 daily from 4 a.m. to noon, according to Airport Police Chief Matt Christenson.

Two Metro Transit police officers will take over between noon and about 1 a.m., when Blue Line service is limited between the two terminals. Federal air marshals from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will augment the enhanced police presence, Christenson told the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) on Tuesday.
