The transit police agency said in a news release last week that their board and general manager have also committed to adding 19 more officer positions once the department fills all current vacancies.

BART police said they seek to hire six new officers a month starting in August.

Their recruitment in July attracted 65 prospects, of whom 21 immediately applied to take the Police Department’s written and physical exams, according to BART police.
