While the war between Israel and Hamas escalates in the Middle East, tensions have been growing at home.
Heavily armed counter-terrorism and strategic response officers showed their presence Thursday night in Times Square. NYPD officers are also keeping a close eye out on radical groups and their online chatter, guarding against a lone wolf or sympathizer attack.
"We have directed the NYPD to surge additional resources to schools, houses of worship, to ensure they are safe and that our city remains a place of peace," Adams said. Officials say there are no specific credible threats to NYC, but every officer is in uniform as a precaution.
