Associated Press
NEW YORK — Police
are promising a bigger secu-
rity detail than ever before in
Times Square for this year’s
New Year’s Eve celebration,
which will cap off a year
that saw a number of deadly
attacks, including a vehicle
rampage at the very spot
where revelers will ring in
2018.
In addition to its usual
army of snipers, bag-in-
specting officers and metal
detectors, the department
this year is relying on help
from a growing corps of
“vapor wake” dogs, which
are trained to sniff out trace
amounts of explosive parti-
cles that trail behind someone
carrying a bomb.
All 125 parking garages in
the vicinity of Times Square
will be emptied in advance
of the celebration and sealed
off, so no one has a chance to
sneak in a car bomb, police
said.
Detectives already have
been assigned to all of the
dozens of high-rise hotels
in the area, with the aim of
preventing the type of attack
that happened in Las Vegas
in October, when a gunman
firing from a casino hotel
killed dozens of people at
an outdoor concert below.
Police wouldn’t discuss
whether guests at area
hotels would be screened in
advance of the celebration,
but Police Commissioner
James O’Neill said officers
already are working with
hotel security.
“This is going to be one
of the most well-policed,
best-protected events at one
of the safest venues in the
entire world,” O’Neill said.
The extra precautions
follow two recent terrorist
attacks in the city. A man
detonated a bomb in the
city’s subway system on Dec.
11, injuring only himself.
On Halloween, an Islamic

Department officials say that while there are no specific or credible threats against
the city, they are promising a bigger security detail than ever before at the Sunday,
Dec. 31 New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square.
State-inspired attacker drove
down a bicycle path, killing
eight people before he
wrecked his truck and was
shot by police.
Times Square itself was
targeted in May by a man,
said by police to be high on
drugs, who drove through
crowds of pedestrians for
more than three blocks,
killing an 18-year-old tourist
from Michigan. The speeding
vehicle was eventually
stopped by one of the squat
metal barriers that have been
installed around the square’s
pedestrian plazas.
Those
attacks
were
reminders that New York
City’s massive security appa-
ratus can only do so much,
but city officials insisted they
will be able to keep people
safe on New Year’s Eve.
“The fact is, they will
absolutely be safe,” said
Mayor Bill de Blasio, a
Democrat.

Woman extradited to Oregon
to face charges in fatal crash
HILLSBORO (AP) — A
Tigard woman accused of
first-degree
manslaughter
after a crash that killed a
pedestrian has been extra-
dited to Oregon after being
arrested in California.
The Washington County
Sheriff’s Office says inves-
tigators found that Michelle
McMillan’s blood-alcohol
content was more than three
times the legal limit at the
time of the July 30 crash on
Highway 99W near Tigard.
McMillan’s
vehicle
collided with a Chevy
Suburban, sending the SUV
onto a sidewalk where a
36-year-old man had been
walking. The man died from
his injuries at a hospital.
The sheriff’s office says
the 58-year-old McMillan
fled to California shortly after
the crash. She was found last
month north of Sacramento.
She arrived back in
Oregon on Friday and was
booked into the county jail in
they are essentially confined
for the night. People who
leave the pens aren’t allowed
to re-enter — so no bathroom
breaks.
Those who make it
through will get to see live
performances from Andy
Grammer, Nick Jonas and
Mariah Carey. A cascade of
confetti and fireworks will
ring in the new year when the
Waterford Crystal ball drops.
In addition to the officers
at the scene, dozens of
analysts will be combing
Islamic State propaganda and
deciphering data.
Police also will be out in
force at Coney Island, where
live music and fireworks
were expected to draw large
crowds, and at a midnight
event for runners in Central
Park.
“The takeaway from our
preparations is this: People
will be safe, and they should
feel safe, too,” O’Neill said.
“Because the NYPD and our
partners are well-prepared.”
of its security force for the
event, but it gave some
details about the operation at
a news conference Thursday.
Officers will have help
from roughly 1,000 security
cameras installed in and
around Times Square.
An area roughly 22 city
blocks long and three long
blocks wide will be sealed
off from both vehicle and
pedestrian
traffic
with
cement blocks, sand-filled
garbage trucks and other
vehicles blocking the streets
leading into the area.
Partygoers entering that
secure zone will be screened
at a dozen access points
where they will encounter
metal detectors, the vapor
wake dogs and officers with
portable radiation detectors.
Large backpacks are not
allowed. All small bags will
be searched.
From there, people go
through a second round of
security screening when they
enter spectator pens where
