But to repeat something, I think it would be even better, if turnstiles are ever ALL equipped with those little magnetic "special entry" devices some of them have, or something similar, that Police (and fire, etc.) SHIELDS all contained a device that could open all turnstiles. I think it would be better than giving them all metrocards for a number of reasons. And, more seriously, in response to crzwdjk, a cop commented here once that they do indeed get free metrocards.

Yeah, sorry, I guess YOU guys who really feel that way can't come to work anymore. Get another job. "How are we going to get to work?"

Take the subway, just like everyone else. Do cops get free Metrocards? If not, they really should. It can even be cast as a homeland security program, since it would put more cops on subway trains. Even if they are off duty, it'd probably be a net benefit to security. "How are we going to get to work?"
