The New York City Police Department (NYPD) is expected to provide taxpayer-funded security and traffic control for a high-profile celebrity wedding at Madison Square Garden (MSG).
The event will feature performances from Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw and is anticipated to be a large-scale production, potentially rivaling the annual Metropolitan Museum of Art fundraiser, which generates tens of millions of dollars for the organization.
While the Met Gala relies on the NYPD and New York City's Sanitation Department for security assistance, the extent of the NYPD's involvement in the celebrity wedding remains unclear, as the department has not officially commented on the matter.
A photo obtained by a media outlet Monday appears to show a large truck backing into a loading bay at MSG, where workers were removing large items concealed by black plastic sheets.
