According to New York City Police Commissioner James O’Neill, none of the revelers in the Big Apple Monday night who are there to party and celebrate the arrival of 2019 will be more than 10 feet away at any time from either a uniformed or undercover police officer. It’s part of the intense security cordon the city’s law enforcement annually puts in place, given the estimated 2 million people who will pack the area on New Year’s Eve. But in addition to cops who will be on hand to keep everyone safe, O’Neill added during a press briefing that — no surprise — there will also be plenty of security measures you don’t see and may not take any notice of.
Like the fact that the NYPD, for the first time, will be using drone technology on New Year’s Eve to keep an eye on the party crowd and ensure everyone’s safety. Additionally, law enforcement officials will likewise be employing “counter-drone” technology.
