The New York City Police Department implemented extensive security measures during the United Nations General Assembly in Midtown Manhattan, authorities say.
Throughout the past week, New Yorkers braced for traffic standstills and headaches around Midtown Manhattan as the culminating week of the United Nations General Assembly got underway. Meanwhile, members of the New York City Police Department were focused on securing the event as more than 130 world dignitaries came and went. 'It’s a massive operation, a massive undertaking,' Tarik Sheppard, deputy commissioner of NYPD’s Public Information said.
Last week, NYPD officers at the center were joined by members of the Secret Service, FBI, Homeland Security and the White House Military Office. 'So we're partnered up and linked together… just in case something happens the messaging can be in unison,' Sheppard said. In addition to safely securing the arrival and departure of diplomats and U.S.
The important thing is to remember to respect people's First Amendment rights; however, we're not going to allow crimes to be committed,' Sheppard said.
