In response to a recent series of high-profile attacks on TriMet passengers, the regional transit agency said Friday that is changing its security deployment tactics and will be targeting missions to prevent similar incidents in the future.
TriMet officials declined to discuss the specific changes, saying they cannot provide such details as times and locations of the upcoming missions because they related to security.

Three attacks have generated headlines in the past few weeks. The first occurred on Dec. 26 when a 14-year-old Centennial High School student was assault by three young women on a Green Line MAX train. The attackers were arrested Thursday and their mother was also charged with hindering prosecution.
A 15-year-old Benson High School student was attacked by a motorist on Jan. 11 as he was walking to a MAX station in the Rose Quarter. His assailant has not yet been caught.
Then on Thursday, police arrested a mother and her daughter for punching two passengers on a TriMet bus near Southeast 122nd Avenue and Division Street.
According to statistics released by TriMet, 471 crimes were reported along the system in 2010, the last year for which full figures are available. They include 77 misdemeanor and felony assaults.
