Authorities across Long Island and New York state are boosting security ahead of Inauguration Day.
Nassau County Executive Laura Curran says she's working with police and federal agencies to ensure residents will be safe.
Nassau Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder says the Nassau Police Department has been on high alert since the riots at the Capitol building last week. Now with word of possible violent protest coming to capital cities in all 50 states on Inauguration Day, Ryder says patrols have intensified and increased even more.
"The intelligence community is working around the clock, and has been working around the clock," says Ryder.
In Suffolk, police tell News 12 they are also gathering intelligence and coordinating with federal agencies to prevent political violence.
Police say they are not aware of any credible threats on Long Island.
Police officials say all eyes are focused on places like transportation centers, houses of worship, government buildings, hospital, school buildings and fire departments.
"It's not about politics. It's not about who you voted for. It's about safety," says Curran. "It's about security and it's about common sense in doing our job."
