For the World’s leaders?
Another chance to do met and greets…
It’s the 74th UN General Assembly get together…
Make speeches and network…
Little will actually get accomplished
For others though?
It’s a rough few weeks….
The New York and New Jersey metro airports will receive aircraft with world leaders fro almost 100 countries ….
There will be so many that some aircraft will be moved other military airports beyond the metro area to park…
Smaller country leaders will arrive on commercial aircraft…
Those arrivals will be met and escorted thru out their ‘principals’ stays by 24/7 security details composed of US Secret Service and US State Department Security Service agents…Those groups will have assistance from the Port Authority Police at the airports and New York City Police Department for movements into and round New York City….The principles ‘ of course bring their own security details that work with the Americans…
Those arriving in New Jersey get NJ State Police escorts thru Jersey , Port Authority thru the tunnels and NYPD once in the Big Apple…
Those agencies will rely on support from Emergency Service’s like the NY Fire Dept. and their EMS , NY City Sanitation for heavy trucks for street and location placement ….
In addition to heads of states?
If they come with military people?
Security escorts and transportation for them would come from Naval , Army and other Pentagon security service people….
Intelligence for all this will be provided by the FBI and US Homeland …..
New York City, the ‘Big Apple’ of course shines like a beacon during this annual drop in….
Hotel’s make money…
Retail makes money….
Restaurants make money…
Uber and cabs make money…
Limo drivers make money…
Traffic in the island of Manhattan gets beat up….
There are ‘frozen’ zones and street blockages as the President of the United States moves around and all the others….
Motorcades can range for 3 cars up 20+….
Some move with the traffics and the American President and few high profile ones get street closures…
On the political side?
President Donald Trump will be meeting some of people he just saw a few months ago…
President and leaders of other countries, some of which Trump has had problems with , will be arriving in the Big Apple and sitting down in the same building as Trump…
Being who Trump is?
Do NOT be surprised if it’s reported that Trump had a meetings with any of them trying to cut deals….
But?
Remember Donald Trump is NOT an internationalist and after a few years?
Leaders have come to know that Trump has a lot of noise but is short knowledge of what he’s doing….
The issues of Climate , China, North Korea, Brexit, Iran and the World’s Economy will be in the background….
The Circus is about to kickin folks…
The actors are already arriving ….
…
During the General Assembly, New York City will host about 200 dignitaries from around the world.
The NYPD and its law enforcement partners on the federal, state and local levels are providing thousands of highly-trained uniformed and plain-clothes officers throughout the entire event to help ensure the safety of New Yorkers.
They will be ready to respond to chemical, biological and other potential terror threats.
Thousands of NYPD vehicles will be a part of the approximately 200 escort convoys. Additionally, Department of Sanitation sand trucks will be deployed with additional blocker vehicles. Concrete blocks, jersey barriers, and surface mounted delta vehicle barriers have also been placed at potentially-sensitive locations.
The Department of Transportation has designated weekdays from Monday, September 23, 2019 through Monday, September 30, 2019 as gridlock alert days. Alternatives, including public transportation, bike sharing, ride sharing and parking outside of Manhattan, are highly encouraged for the duration of the General Assembly.
“Just as the men and women of the NYPD work tirelessly to keep New Yorkers safe each and every day, Member States represented in the 74th Session of the U.N. General Assembly are welcomed to New York City knowing that the NYPD is committed to ensuring their safety,” said Police Commissioner James P. O’Neill….
