"Police officials say they are expecting a surge in gridlock, and in turn subway ridership, throughout Manhattan over the coming week. Roads are expected to be closed, and traffic is expected to be slowed as world leaders, including President Donald Trump, are expected to descend on the Big Apple. With the increase in commuters surrounding such a high-profile event, cops are asking the public to be mindful of their surroundings and immediately contact the NYPD if they see something suspicious."
"Transit is very interesting; it is a different place. Our officers receive special training. We have special tools, even our canine units, they're trained differently, Gulotta said. They're out there, they know exactly what they need to do, and we have the right tools for them if they do need them. But like I said, transit officers will be out there in uniform as well, in plain clothes. There'll be officers you see, there'll be offices you do not see that are out there"
NYPD is preparing enhanced transit security for the United Nations General Assembly, anticipating increased gridlock and subway ridership across Manhattan. Roads and traffic will be impacted as world leaders, including President Donald Trump, arrive. The department plans to surge officers both visible and undercover, deploy specially trained transit units, and use canine patrols and specialized tools to address potential threats. Commuters are asked to remain vigilant, report suspicious activity immediately, and rely on trained transit officers who are positioned to detect and respond to anomalies in the system.
