>Security shakeup at Port Authority
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will overhaul its security operation for the first time in decades, centralizing control over its police force and safety officials at its bridges, airports, bus terminals and the World Trade Center.
The agency’s Board of Commissioners on Thursday voted unanimously to create a Security Department within the agency. A new chief security officer will oversee the Port Authority Police Department and help coordinate safety policies across the agency’s properties and divisions. (Mann, The Wall Street Journal)
