Parade security<\/p>\n
At Friday\u2019s briefing, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the Office of Community Safety, the NYPD and partners in the Crisis Management System have “developed a comprehensive security plan” to ensure this year’s event runs smoothly and safely.<\/p>\n
The mayor said that as of Thursday, teams of hundreds of CMS staff members and community safety volunteers have been deployed to hotspots around the parade route, and will continue operations in a safety plan that covers “five days, five precincts and 20 zones \u2014 seven more than last year.” <\/p>\n
These crisis management teams will inform New Yorkers about their role over the next few days, and provide support during Monday’s festivities, he said.<\/p>\n
The mayor added there have been no \u201cknown specific or credible threats\u201d to any of the planned festivities, but added that officials will “continue to coordinate closely across government in order to ensure that New Yorkers can celebrate and be safe while doing so.”<\/p>\n
Thousands of NYPD officers will be patrolling streets and subways in what Tisch said will be one of the police department’s biggest deployments of the year.<\/p>\n
Tisch said a buffer zone will be created between spectators and marchers, as is common for all large-scale parades to allow for unfettered movement of safety officials.<\/p>\n
The NYPD will also be using helicopters and drones to monitor the event.<\/p>\n
There will be 13 entry points along the route for spectators, who will then be screened by NYPD personnel with magnetometers, Tisch said.<\/p>\n
Items including drones, alcohol, weapons, large bags, backpacks and blankets \u2014 plus any item that could obstruct views, such as large banners or flags \u2014 will not be permitted. Bicycles, scooters and skateboards are also not allowed within the entry points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"City officials say they’re prepared to keep safe the hundreds of thousands of people expected to turn out…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":338472,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[387,25,1084,297,98,100,99,9,24,12,63,308,380,27,296,142],"class_list":["post-338471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-app-public-safety","tag-app-top-stories","tag-app-traffic-transit","tag-app-traffic-and-transit","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-public-safety","tag-spectrum-news-staff","tag-top-stories","tag-traffic-and-transit","tag-transit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338471","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=338471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338471\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/338472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=338471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=338471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
