How Cash-Strapped Cities Will Handle Terrorism
At New York Ideas, Ray Kelly says we should be prepared for more cameras — and smarter cameras.
The marathon bombings in Boston have cities across the country asking how they can prevent similar tragedies. For NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly, when it comes to preparing for an attack in New York, "the new normal is the old normal." Kelly established a massive anti-terrorism unit after 9/11, and he credits it with stopping 16 criminal acts to date.
"There's a whole array of threats out there and we don't see a diminishment of the threat," Kelly told an audience today at New York Ideas, hosted by The Atlantic and the Aspen Ideas Institute.
