This evening, venture inside one of the best and most ambitious anti-terror operations in the country—the intelligence operation of the New York Police Department, with undercover resources all over the world and an intelligence unit that includes more than 500 officers and analysts. It has officers stationed in major cities worldwide to report on terrorism abroad and to stop terrorism at home. Taking us inside the operation is author Christopher Dickey, whose popular column “Shadowland” about counterterrorism and espionage appears weekly on Newsweek Online.

Drawing on information obtained from access to New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and other top officials, Dickey takes us into the secret command center of the NYPD’s counterterrorism division to examine the strategies and tactical operations that the NYPD has implemented to keep New York from experiencing another terrorist operation. He also details the shadow battles fought in cities around the globe to stop that war before it begins.

Dickey is the Paris bureau chief and Middle East regional editor for Newsweek magazine. His book Securing the City (Simon & Schuster) is available for signing after the program.
