More eyes soon will be watching Metro entrances. The transit agency has won a $2.8 million federal grant to add 153 video cameras to Metrorail station entrances and exits, Metro Transit Police Chief Michael Taborn said Thursday. The cameras will allow Metro and the surrounding local law enforcement agencies to view the images, Taborn said.

“We can jointly see the comings and goings of people,” he said.
