Police departments across the United States are now ordering all officers to ride in pairs while on patrol as a safety measure in the wake of Thursday night’s deadly ambush in Dallas and other attacks on law enforcement.

In Washington DC, Chief Cathy Lanier announced during a press conference on Friday that officers would be patrolling in pairs, adding that many in her department are still shaken by what happened in Texas.

‘Looking at the type of attack that happened in Dallas, a two-man car, a four-man car, a 10-man car, isn’t going to make much of a difference,’ said Lanier.

‘But it makes the officers feel much safer.’

In New York City, there will also be an increased police presence outside of precincts to insure the safety of those inside. Officers were also told to ‘remain vigilant at all times while in uniform.’
