The phalanx of police officers armed with assault weapons, bomb-sniffing dogs and concrete barricades causing congestion and other headaches outside Donald Trump's home will remain in place
at least until his inauguration in late January, city officials warned on Friday.
It's a situation that has put the Republican president-elect's hometown in the position of
asking his new administration to pay ongoing costs for what Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio called an unprecedented security effort for a U.S. president's unofficial residence.
"We're being asked to do something on a scale that's never been done before," the mayor said at a news conference with New York Police Department and Secret Service officials.
What happens after the inauguration
will depend on how the new president divides his time between his high-rise apartment and the White House, officials said. Depending on the answer, the NYPD might create a new command assigned full time to securing Trump Tower.
