Saturation

If you plan to come to NYC to visit, wait until after the convention.

ABC News:

Dozens of detectives have been reassigned, and they will join hundreds of transit officers to create a huge underground police force. Their primary goal will be to protect the city's subway system leading up to, and during, the Republican Convention.

[. . .]

The whole idea is to put so many police officers in the city's subway system that the terrorists think twice. Yes, that's a big job -- but we're also talking about the largest police force in America. And they're finding the manpower in every corner of the department.

Beginning next week, security in the New York City subway system will get even tighter, when uniformed police officers are joined by dozens of NYPD detectives to help patrol the platforms and the tunnels of Midtown Manhattan.

[. . .]

Included in the redeployment are:

  • Organized Crime Control Bureau

  • Narcotics Squad

  • Vice Squad

  • Auto Crimes Unit

  • Street Gangs Unit


  • [. . .]



    Oh yeah, this is gonna be fun. Ah, at least the hookers'll get a break.
