New York police say they've taken steps to "harden security" at state Capitol ahead of inauguration

From CNN's Mirna Alsharif

The New York State Police has taken steps "to harden security in and around the State Capitol in Albany" ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration, according to spokesperson Beau Duffy.

"Given recent events in Washington and across the country, the New York State Police has, out of an abundance of caution, taken steps to harden security in and around the State Capitol in Albany," said Duffy. "These restrictions are in place until further notice."
Duffy added that the department is aware of reports regarding "possible protests ahead of the inauguration," is in touch with federal and local law enforcement partners and "will be monitoring the situation."
