Speaking of which, NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch stated on Wednesday that there are "millions" expected to attend the parade. But she warned that there are capacity limits for each viewing area, meaning some fans will be "redirected" or even "turned away" on Thursday.

In terms of safety, Tisch mentioned the parade will see the "largest deployment for a planned event in NYPD history," with more than 10,000 officers in attendance. She also stressed there will be no shortage of speciality units on hand to keep disruptions to a minimum, from K-9 handlers to helicopters.
