Next week’s high-level meeting of the U.N. General Assembly is bringing more than 140 world leaders to New York City, including the heads of Israel, Palestine and Ukraine.
Man, 64, killed, two detained after shooting in MeyerlandGet ready to travel this fall with these Insider DealsUnited Nations Department of Safety & Security, Chief Michael Browne speaks to the media during a tour of the Joint Operations Centre inside the United Nations Headquarters, Friday Sept. 20, 2024. – Below United Nations headquarters, a state-of-the-art security post dubbed the “Brain Center” hums with activity on the eve of next week’s high-level meeting of the U.N.
This year, it's coming during a especially busy stretch highlighted by the Republican and Democratic conventions and the final weeks of the presidential campaign. Speaking Monday after the Secret Service thwarted another apparent assassination attempt on Trump in Florida, Acting Director Ronald L. Rowe Jr. said employees were “redlining" like an engine pushed to its limit. But, he said, “they are rising to this moment” and meeting the challenges.
Freaney said the National Special Security Event designation — for special events of national significance — smooths the way for interagency planning, communication and cooperation. The Secret Service is in charge, but the NYPD’s robust counterterrorism and other operations, and the U.N.’s 300-person Security and Safety Service, play pivotal roles.
The Secret Service, NYPD and State Department will also be operating their own command centers — in Brooklyn, at One Police Plaza in Manhattan and at a nearby hotel ballroom. The NYPD, the nation’s largest police force, has its Joint Operations Center equipped to give officers real-time feeds from security, drone and helicopter-mounted cameras, along with other critical information.
The command post is staffed around the clock by U.N. security officers who work in 12-hour shifts while world leaders are in town. The goal, Inspector Malinda McCormack said, is to receive, analyze and quickly disseminate information.
