Extra NYPD officers have been dispatched to crowded areas around the city, as well as to French government locations “to provide police presence and public reassurance as we follow the developing situation overseas,” according to an NYPD statement. Officers from the Counterterrorism Response Command and the Critical Response Group will be deployed around the city, as well as officers from the Hercules Team, the elite, heavily-armed NYPD cops that resemble a Special Forces unit.
