Police officers from New York City will soon be on their way to Tucson, Arizona, and Bogota, Colombia, to help secure America’s borders as part of an expansion to the law enforcement agency’s International Liaison Program.

New York Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner of Intelligence and Counterterrorism, Rebecca Weiner, said during the Jan. 31 announcement at the “State of the NYPD address” that two officers will be sent to Tucson and Bogota as part of a plan to combat the flow of drugs, guns, and people pouring through the southern United States border toward the Big Apple.
