The New York City Police Department will be increasing its presence, both in and out of uniform, by deploying undercover officers to Joker screenings in select locations for the DC film’s opening weekend.
In addition to visibly policing theaters that are scheduled to show the R-rated film, Deadline reports that undercover tactics will be rolled out for screenings in Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, as an extra security measure for cinemagoers.
“This is 360-degree policing approach to ensure safety for ticket buyers in their seats, as well as on the streets,” a law enforcement official said. “If something happens inside one of the screenings, we intend to be able to pacify the situation quickly and conclusively.”
