NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch emphasized, "We will have a massive police presence around Rockefeller Center from 52nd Street all the way down to 47th Street," highlighting their commitment to safety during the event.
"This is a terrible event, but we're going to go on and people can enjoy the tree lighting," said Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, reassuring the public amidst tragic circumstances.
Assistant Commissioner Carlos Nieves confirmed that the annual event is typically well-staffed, stating, "You will get the K9s, you will get the helicopters, you will get the drones, you will get the specialty units."
The Christmas tree lighting scheduled despite the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, emphasizes the city's resilience and the NYPD's dedication to public safety during major events.
