NYPD Beefs Up Security Following Paris Terror Attacks

The NYPD has announced that they are beefing up security around the city, and are in close touch their French counterparts and the FBI, following the horrific terror attacks in Paris.

Out of an abundance of caution, as part of an enhanced counterterrorism overlay, the Counterterrorism Bureau has made the following deployments: the NYPD Counterterrorism Response Command (CRC) resources as well as the Critical Response Group (SRG), and Hercules Teams have been dispatched to crowded areas around the city out of an abundance of caution to provide police presence, and public reassurance as we follow the developing situation overseas. Specific deployments, at French government locations in New York City, were made immediately after the attacks.

NYPD Intelligence Bureau Detectives in France are conducting liaison activities to assist the Paris Police in any way possible, while keeping the NYPD updated on the on-going situation.

“There is no known indication that the attack has any nexus to New York City,” said the NYPD in a statement. “We will continue to follow events closely and adjust our deployments accordingly.”
