Metro announces partnership with DC police to enhance safety

D.C. police and Metro Transit Police want to make riding public transportation safer. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Metro General Manager Randy Clarke announced the new partnership Wednesday – a week after the deadly shooting at the Potomac Avenue station. FOX 5's David Kaplan has all the details.

Metro riders who travel along the Green Line should expect delays as trains are single tracking between Georgia Avenue and U Street due to the police investigation.
