    NEW YORK, NY - Specialist Robert Hunt and Specialist Jakub Jakubowski, both members of Joint Task Force Empire Shield ramp up operations at the 33rd Street PATH Station on September 20, 2016 following the recent bombings in Manhattan and New Jersey.

    Joint Task Force Empire Shield’s primary goal is to detect, deter, and prevent potential terrorist operations in the New York City Metropolitan Area. Security operations are implemented daily through pre-planned programs using a random and strategic methodology. Joint Task Force Empire Shield is designed to respond to a wide range of incidents. By developing a highly trained force in incident response and command, the Task Force prepares for domestic emergencies caused by humans or natural phenomena using lessons learned and best practices.
