Mayor Bloomber gand Police Commissioner Kelly gave a press conference today about security issues.

UPDATED: The Daily News has a list of the teams under Operation Atlas. "Cobra Team" deals with biological, chemical or radiological attacks. "Archangel" is made up of bomb experts and investigators "strategically placed around the city."

PLUS the non-emergency number 311 is in effect!

What you can use 311 for, according to NYC.gov:
- Find out if alternate side of the street parking is in effect
- Report loud noise, or a blocked driveway
- Find your neighborhood library and its operating hours
- Find out how to become a Parks Department lifeguard
- Leave an opinion for the Mayor
- Report a pothole or street light that needs to be fixed
- Find out about garbage collection
- And much, much more

The boys in Charm City were the first to use 311.

Gothamist thought 311 was some shitty band that named themselves after the police code for indecent exposure. More police codes.
