Local officials are urging businesses to take advantage of a city program that teaches vigilance in the wake of the deadly terror attacks in Paris last week.
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams met with counterterrorism officials Friday to discuss local safety measures.
Officials maintain that there is no credible or specific threat to New York City, but Adams is urging businesses from local cafes to the Barclays Center to take advantage of the city's "Shield" program, which provides tips, information and training on how to deal with active shooters and terror attacks.
The program is free and counterterrorism officials will visit participating businesses to provide the benefits.
The program has been around for years, but now officials say they hope to expand it. In the past, it's been mostly reserved for larger institutions like stadiums, arenas and colleges, but now, officials say Paris has changed that.
