As the countdown to 2023 dwindles, Chicago officials announced Friday their plans to heighten police presence on New Year's Eve throughout the city, while sharing public safety tips for celebrations.
With a series of revelries expected to take place Saturday, Chicago Police Supt. David Brown urged residents and visitors to celebrate responsibly, adding"we all play a role in our safety." Brown said people can expect to see an increased police presence along Navy Pier, Millennium Park, the public transit system, in CTA stations and more, with an extra 1,300 officers to be deployed throughout high-traffic areas and entertainment corridors, including River North and the Motor Row District.
"Officers will be doing everything they can to keep everyone safe, but we need our residents and visitors to do everything they can, as well," Brown said.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters."Bullets that go up, must come down -- and they come down at a speed and velocity that can kill," Brown said. The conference follows Navy Pier's announcement that it will host a countdown to the new year with a 10-minute fireworks display at midnight.
