As New Year’s Eve celebrations begin across the United States, law enforcement agencies are increasing security measures in major cities.
The increase in security comes one year after a terrorist drove a vehicle bearing an ISIS flag into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
In a joint bulletin, the FBI and DHS warned agents that lone wolves and small terrorist groups pose the greatest threat at large gatherings on New Year’s Eve celebrations.
Law enforcement agencies in the DMV are conducting security measures to prevent possible vehicle attacks at New Year’s Eve events.

Per Fox 5:
A new warning regarding possible vehicle attacks on New Year’s Eve has been issued by federal law enforcement officials.
Now, police officials in the DMV tell FOX 5 that they’re taking it seriously and plan to have increased security around the New Year’s celebrations.
It’s all in addition to their increased DUI enforcement.The assistant chief of the Montgomery County Police Department tells FOX 5 they have already made 140 drunk driving arrests since Thanksgiving, and 24 last week alone.
Police in both Montgomery County and D.C. tell FOX 5 that they are tracking a New Year’s threat assessment by the FBI and Homeland Security. It warns law enforcement to be on guard and remain vigilant in case of possible terror attacks.
A particular concern is vehicle attacks like the one that killed 14 people in New Orleans last New Year’s Day.
In New Orleans, hundreds of National Guard members have been deployed on Bourbon Street.
National Guard Humvees have been spotted in the French Quarter, blocking off entryways to iconic streets where thousands will be bringing in the New Year.
