“In addition, the city is currently undergoing a major economic development effort that will soon result in a large increase to our residential and daytime office and commuter populations,” he added. “It’s important to keep our business and real estate leaders apprised of the latest information concerning terrorism and public safety.”

Straub said the Federal Bureau of Investigation had recently indicated that Westchester County presented several viable terrorist targets and suggested that the county should remain on alert for possible attacks. In addition, he noted that both the federal government and the New York State Office of Public Safety were continuing to issue advisories an indication that terrorism remains a viable threat in the United States.

District Attorney Jeanine Pirro, representatives from the FBI and the New York City Police Department Counterterrorism Bureau as well as representatives from the city’s public safety department will be on hand to discuss these issues.

The seminar will be held at 5:00 pm on Monday, January 27 at Pace University Law School’s Moot Courtroom. Attendance is limited through invitation only and is open to the press.
