Retired NYPD inspector Paul Mauro recently shared valuable advice for tourists planning to attend the New Year's Eve celebrations in New York City. Mauro emphasized that while most crimes in Times Square during this event are related to property rather than violence, it is still crucial to remain vigilant.
Mauro highlighted the prevalence of pickpocketing and urged attendees to be mindful of their belongings. He stressed the importance of staying together, especially when using public transportation, and recommended avoiding distractions like looking at phones to stay alert.
