“We treat today’s deadly attack in Brooklyn with complete and urgent seriousness. Westchester County Police are deploying additional officers to railroad stations and other transit hubs today, and are also closely monitoring the situation in New York City through our presence on several regional law enforcement task forces.
“County Police officers from the Patrol and Special Operations Divisions will join with municipal police departments in heightened visibility at local railroad stations and other public transit hubs, such as the Transportation Center in White Plains. The request for a heightened police presence at these locations was coordinated through the Real Time Crime Center and Counter-Terrorism Zone 3, which comprises Westchester and Putnam counties.
“The County Police Hazardous Devices Unit, known more informally as the Bomb Squad, is also on standby if needed to assist with any suspicious packages or devices that may be reported.”
