CounterTerror NYC

The biggest city. The biggest events. The biggest target.

New York City is the world’s number one terror target, and the NYPD’s Counterterrorism Bureau is on the front lines. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and the chiefs, detectives, and officers in the trenches invite us on the inside for an unprecedented look at how they secure the nation’s largest city.

Roll out with nearly every specialized unit in the city…from the Hercules teams – ‘supercops’ clad in body armor and armed with 9-mm submachine guns – to the TORCH team, the heavy weapons strike force patrolling the stations and trains of the subway system.  Zip through the harbor on a top secret radiation-detection boat and dive with the Scuba Team for an underwater bomb sweep.  COUNTERTERROR NYC takes you inside the NYPD’s herculean mission to keep New York City safe.

“Counterterror NYC” shows how the N.Y.P.D. tries to keep the city safe and should appeal to any New Yorker interested in the department’s tactics, gadgets and surveillance techniques."
