Safety Measures

The COVID-19 precautions — which range from optional-yet-strongly-encouraged mask-wearing to proof of vaccinations or negative tests for certain events — aren't the only significant safety change.

Uniformed law enforcement officers such as the NYPD could be few and far between.

NYC Pride organizers banned corrections and law enforcement exhibitors from marching in uniforms and participating in recruitment activities until at least 2025.
