Chief Jeffrey Maddrey of the New York Police Department said Friday afternoon that the department is "of course" going to review security protocols after a man set himself on fire outside the courtroom where former President Donald Trump's hush money trial is taking place.
Maddrey clarified that the man did not breach security protocols as the park was open to the public.
"But, of course, we're going to look at everything and with the magnitude of what's going on around here, we'll reassess our security with our federal partners," Maddrey said.
Tarik Sheppard, the deputy commissioner of public information for the department, said that while he cannot share conversations had with Secret Service, "everyone involved in the trial inside is aware of the incident that took place outside today."
Law enforcement ratcheted up security for the trial with a sophisticated and multilayered plan, officials previously told CNN.
