Police departments across the country told CNN they are either monitoring the events in Memphis, Tennessee, closely or already have plans in place in case of large-scale protests or unrest relating to the case of Tyre Nichols.

The city of Memphis plans to release video of Nichols’ fatal arrest sometime after 6 p.m. local time (7 p.m. ET) Friday.

In preparation, the Atlanta Police Department has moved to 12-hour shifts and canceled days off.

The Los Angeles Police Department is “closely monitoring what is going on in the county and is prepared for any situation that might arise,” said Tony Im, a LAPD spokesperson.  

In Seattle, Det. Judinna Gulpan said the police department “is planning, preparing, and staffing to provide public safety throughout the city should police resources be needed.”   

The Denver Police Department said it “is monitoring for any potential demonstration activity in Denver, and will adjust resources if or as needed.”   

The Oakland Police Department in California said it’s unaware of any planned protests or marches, but is monitoring the situation. 

 The New York Police Department said it’s prepared for any potential unrest.

“The Department has examined, adapted and adjusted our response to protests and is prepared to protect the Constitutional right to peaceful protest, and works to ensure public safety for every New Yorker exercising their First Amendment rights,” an NYPD spokesperson said.  

The Dallas Police Department told CNN their leadership has been in contact with community and faith-based leaders to prepare for potential protests and vigils.  

“Our response teams are on standby, and we will add additional patrols as they are needed,” said Kristin Lowman, assistant director for public information.   
“We understand the emotion the criminal charges on these former officers have caused, and that emotions may intensify when the video footage is released,” she said. “While we respect everyone’s right to protest, no matter their position, we will NOT condone lawlessness in our city. We will take the appropriate action if anyone’s actions threaten lives or harm people or property.”
