Chicago Transit Authority will invest $10 million to hire 50 full-time police officers to patrol rail and bus stations across the city.

"This investment in full-time officers to patrol CTA's rail and bus stations will help ensure the safety and security of all who rely on the CTA," said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

The 50 full-time police officers will come from the Chicago Police Academy. They are scheduled to begin the Academy in the fall of this year. They will go through six-months of training, with officers expected to be detailed to the Public Transportation Section by spring 2012.
