NYPD preps for record Knicks parade with sweeping security sweep

The NYPD has completed a security assessment for the Knicks’ championship parade, planning to deploy more than 10,000 officers as crowds are expected to be among the largest in city history. Officials say there are no new credible threats, but authorities will watch for lone-actor targets and other risks, including weapons, vehicle rammings, and drones, amid a massive media presence. Past celebrations saw 63 arrests and 10 officers injured, and planners emphasize a largely celebratory crowd while remaining vigilant.
