Gov. Andrew Cuomo reacted to the horrific attack on Bastille Day revelers in France, issuing a statement and increasing overtime budgets for law enforcement agencies in New York. "I have directed state law enforcement officials to step up security at high-profile locations around the state, including our airports, bridges, tunnels and mass transit systems," Cuomo's statement read. "The Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services’ Office of Emergency Management Watch Center will be on heightened alert, monitoring world events. DHSES regional staff have all been notified to maintain a heightened state of awareness at mass gathering events. The New York State Police and the Joint Task Force Empire Shield have deployed additional troops in the New York metropolitan region."
