NEW YORK — New York City is planning to have the most security ever for the annual New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square. <br /> <br />Police said this year they would send more rooftop observation teams and counter-snipers into more buildings, the New York Times reported. <br />Authorities will be patrolling hotels in the days prior to New Year's Eve. <br />The NYPD is also attaching reflective markers on the outsides of buildings, so in the event of an attack, officers can more quickly locate shooters. <br />The police will also deploy explosive-detecting dogs. <br />Sand trucks and blocker vehicles will be positioned to stop cars or truck attacks. <br /> <br />New York usually deploys around 5,000 police officers for New Year's celebrations, but this year, the numbers would be higher, police said.
