The New York City Police Department is warning officers to be "vigilant and alert" following increased "credible" threats toward its officers. Officials are advising all officers to have a heightened awareness "in light of the events that transpired over the past weekend in the Bronx."
Officials sent a department-wide email stressing there are "no specific threats against the department," but said desk officers must ensure that every station house security post is assigned and staffed at all times.
Law enforcement sources tell ABC News that federal authorities notified the NYPD that they took an alleged MS-13 member in custody that they believe had made threats against police officers in the Bronx and in other parts of the city.
NYPD had no comment, other to say they have no one in custody in connection to any threats.
The NYPD security note comes on the heels of a violent weekend that saw multiple officers targeted in what the city called a "premeditated assassination attempt," allegedly by the same person.

Does anyone else find it incongruous that the cops are being alerted towards threats and they are armed and capable of defense while the population in general is generally prohibited from arms?
Glad I live in Missouri.
Violent criminals are the democrats primary constituency, Police are the enemies of the NYC mayor. Two cops have been shot in attempted murders. Violent criminals are still being released without bail. No, I’m not surprised that they have finally noticed there is a credible threat toward officers. That threat is named Bill de Blasio.
If Cuomo and the libs had their way that precious “child of god” MS13 member woukd still be free to roam the streets.
Think about this for a minute; if you’re a cop and someone walks up to your car, and you take any defensive action and you’re wrong, you’re in big trouble. If you take no action that person can draw and kill you before you can do anything once the threat is obvious. What a catch 22.

Sanctuary for fraudulently documented foreigners bites them in the butt again.
LOL....there are parts of the Bronx that are quite nice,and pricey.
Police used to be very proactive about stuff like this. Even the mob were very careful to not kill a cop, because the police would “descend on them like a ton of bricks”.
However, with an anti-police government, their best option is “counter-assassination”. Today, because the police are so hated by their government, they should subcontract to police from out of the area, who would disguise themselves, use gang drop guns, and make sure that the targets are very dead, and that useful evidence is kept to a minimum.
Then after they leave, they are paid in clean cash and they leave the area.
It is a very cost effective way of doing things.
More NYPD officers have been assassinated due to Mayor Disgraziato than any mayor before him, yet the citizens of NYC have reelected him.
NYC have declined and become a crime ridden city once more. I don’t believe it will survive.
Look at the blue cities of NYC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle. They’ve are no longer jewels of cities, but Hell holes.
