Security is always a potential issue at any big event.  And the NYC Ball Drop most certainly fits that description.  Thus this year, security is being beefed up with a police quadcopter drone watching over Times Square as a surplus to its 7,000 police officers, 200 sand blocker trucks and sniffer dogs.

The drone will be able to track any unauthorized vehicles in the air.   vehicles will be seen by the drone.  Citizens are being warned not to fly their own drones tomorrow night as that could lead to an arrest.
