NYPD security

Security is always high during Passover, but the NYPD is on heightened alert since this year Passover coincides with the Christianity's Holy Week and comes just days after terror attacks on Christian churches in Egypt. The NYPD maintained a visible presence for Passover outside Central Synagogue in Midtown. At Park East Synagogue, counterterrorism officers not only watched who went in, but also who walked by. The number of private security on site at Temple Emanu-El has been doubled. Sources told Fox 5 unmarked plainclothes officers are in the area as well as constant mobile patrols instead of fixed-post officers.
