Law enforcement agencies in New York State have been ordered to remain vigilant in the wake of several attacks in Paris, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said in a statement.

"Tonight I have directed New York State law enforcement to remain vigilant in the wake of these senseless attacks," Cuomo said on Friday evening. "The New York State Police, the New York State Intelligence Center and the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services are actively monitoring the situation for any implications in New York State and remain in constant communication with their local and federal partners."
