Among the tens of thousands of people who run the world's most famous marathon are dozens of New York's finest, including some at the very top.
Tanya Kinsella is the second highest ranking person in the NYPD. Her best friend, Glorisel Lee, commands a precinct on Staten Island.
"We have to be there for each other," Lee said. "Motivate each other hold each other up, and I think what we're trying to do is show other women you can do it too." Kinsella's been running hard throughout her career. This year, she became the first woman appointed first deputy commissioner.As many as 50 NYPD officers run the marathon every year and they run for all kinds of reasons.
With the war in Gaza, inspiring concerns over terror attacks in the west, the NYPD says there aren't any specific or credible threats against the marathon. But that doesn't mean they aren't ready.Only Eyewitness News was at the exercise, where top leaders from every city agency worked through every possible scenario that could pop up along the 26.2-mile route.
