“#NYPD will use metal detectors during July 4 fireworks<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The recent spike in shootings that has New Yorkers on edge will have an impact on the big July 4 fireworks show as well.<\/p>\n

In an effort to make sure the only blasts during the return of the annual Macy\u2019s spectacular come from the pyrotechnics, the NYPD will require spectators who want to watch from Manhattan\u2019s FDR Drive to pass through metal detectors first, NYPD Chief of Patrol Juanita Holmes said Thursday.<\/p>\n

In addition, cops will make the unprecedented move of closing the Williamsburg and 59th Street bridges to traffic during the nation\u2019s largest fireworks show, Holmes said.<\/p>\n

The stunning security measures were announced amid a surge in gunplay that includes the recent broad daylight shooting of a tourist in Times Square and a chilling, caught-on-camera incident in which a pair of kids miraculously avoided gang-related gunfire in the Bronx.<\/p>\n

Holmes revealed the safety plan just three days before the fireworks and it isn\u2019t mentioned on the website of Macy\u2019s, its prime sponsor.<\/p>\n

During a City Hall news<\/a> conference with Mayor Bill de Blasio, Holmes said the NYPD \u201cwill have officers virtually everywhere throughout the event.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond our uniformed officers, we\u2019ll also have some plainclothes officers out there,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

NYPD K-9 teams, the Bomb Squad and the Harbor Patrol will also be on the scene for the aerial show over the East River, Holmes said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will maintain our counterterrorism overlay,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The last time such stringent safety measures were put in place was in 2002, for the first July Fourth celebration following the Sept. 11 terror attacks.<\/p>\n

At that time, spectators had to pass three checkpoints to get to the FDR Drive and visitors to the Statue of Liberty were screened with metal detectors.<\/p>\n
