NYPD and federal partners remain on high alert across the city after a suspicious package was found days following a terrorist attack.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, the NYPD evacuated the park around Gracie Mansion after they found a suspicious package. The package was not deemed a threat.<\/p>\n
News 12 spoke with law enforcement analyst Rich Esposito. He said the city and federal partners are not taking any threats lightly.<\/p>\n
“NYPD, FBI, Port Authority police, Coast Guard, Navy Seals, people from the Pentagon. It’s a full integrated team from many agencies, all working to a common goal. It’s a beautiful thing to see it in action because, it’s really a cooperative venture with one goal, which is keeping us safe,” said Esposito.<\/p>\n
As the city remains on high alert, Esposito is urging New Yorkers to do the same.<\/p>\n
“Keep your head on a swivel, is what cops would say,” he said.<\/p>\n
As the city navigates high tensions, Esposito said New Yorkers should not live in fear.<\/p>\n
“So now we’ve got a new threat from ISIS. We had Al-Qaeda twice, World Trade Center in 2001, World Trade Center in 1993. Should you be afraid? No. You should be a New Yorker. You should be afraid of nothing,” he said.<\/p>\n
Law enforcement is encouraging the phrase, “if you see something, say something.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NYPD and federal partners remain on high alert across the city after a suspicious package was found days…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159796,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,5970,8409,9,24,63,103,3694,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-159795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-fbi","tag-gracie-mansion","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-nypd","tag-terrorism","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159795\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
