Eyewitness News reporter Sonia Rincon got an exclusive look at the planning that's underway for next week's UN General Assembly in New York City.
The UN General Assembly will be in session next week, and that means lots of motorcades, road closures and security.
On top of all the logistical coordination, a lot of studying global affairs goes into planning and preparing for this massive security effort. On Thursday, the NYPD upheld its tradition of naming the dispatch post known as "UNGA camp," after a fallen officer. This year the department honored Detective Troy Patterson, who died in May, 33 years after being shot in the line of duty and being in a coma.
"Thank you for giving him us for the time he was in the NYPD," NYPD First Deputy Commissioner Tania Kinsella said. "One of the greatest things that we do in this department is that we never forget." If you think the frozen zones, security presence and motorcades will be limited to Manhattan, think again. International leaders often like to visit immigrant communities from their countries in the city which are all over the five boroughs.
