Local crime prevention officers and community policing gardaí will also be present in Pearse Street, Connolly and Heuston Stations, and a number of regional stations to engage with commuters and provide guidance on crime prevention.

It involves Iarnród Éireann, Transdev Ireland (Luas) operators and the National Transport Authority.
