Dogs, snipers and bag-checks: NYC plans to keep Times Square revelers safe on New Year’s Eve
New York City is ramping up security for an extremely chilly New Year's Eve celebration that expects to see 2 million revelers ring in 2018.
During a press conference on Thursday, local law enforcement officials explained that while there are no credible threats to New York City or its New Year's Eve celebration, additional resources would be on hand for the big night.
Officials said there will be 12 points of entry for spectators to come into the area before being subjected to multi-layer checkpoints, which will include bomb-sniffing "vapor wake dogs," magnetometers or wand searches and bag inspections before being allowed into the viewing pens.
