TRENTON – Governor Jon S. Corzine issued the following statement regarding increased security measures throughout New Jersey during the upcoming holiday weekend: “With the New Year’s Day holiday weekend upon on us and in light of the recent incident involving Northwest Flight 253, New Jersey security officials will be taking extra measures to assure the safety and security of holiday travelers.
“Security officials have confirmed that there is no known threat to commercial air travel in and out of New Jersey airports, and that additional security measures will be taken to ensure the public’s safety. Security levels of personnel and procedures will be increased as a precautionary measure at Newark Liberty Airport and other transit locations by the Port Authority Police Department and supporting agencies.
“In addition, security measures will be stepped up at New Jersey train stations and NJ TRANSIT facilities, which will include the deployment of K-9 units and additional State Police personnel. We will also increase the number of officers patrolling our roadways to be on the lookout for impaired drivers or any abnormal activity.
“I would also like to urge any holiday travelers witnessing anything out of the ordinary to call the Homeland Security Hotline at 1-866-4-SAFENJ, or e-mail tips@njhomelandsecurity.gov. Let’s make this a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend, and I wish everyone a healthy and happy New Year.”
