Did you even read the article?

“If a caller states there’s a large crowd, a large party in a backyard, we’re going to be utilizing our assets to go up and go check on the party,”

What does "check on" mean? It really doesn't say what they're looking for, just an arbitrary description of "large crowd".

The party will just be aborted and stopped. Obviously..

Like, if there was a restrictions to how large a party can be (say in response to the current wave of COVID cases), this would make sense.

I disagree with this being a reasonable measure, but at least it would make sense as to why they want to do it, ya know?

As it is, it sounds like NYPD is just trying to use all their budget so they don't lose it next year or whatever.
